Czech Republic and Romania to win, Spain & Colombia to draw - 22.36/1
As we build towards this summer’s European Championships, many of the nations set to take part will be in action over the next few days. Friday’s international friendly matches feature some of the continent’s elite nations and this is where we’ll handpick our daily betting tips. Friday’s odds come courtesy of popular bookmakers, Betway.
Norway v Czech Republic: Czech Republic to win - 13/5
Czech Republic find themselves in a tricky looking group at Euro 2024, opening their tournament against 2016 champions, Portugal. Preparation will be key for Ivan Hasek’s side and they head to Oslo with just one defeat in ten matches throughout 2023. Friday’s hosts, Norway failed to qualify for this summer’s European Championships and take to the field without Erling Haaland on Friday. We’re giving the away side a slight edge.
Romania v Northern Ireland: Romania to win - 31/40
Romania qualified for Euro 2024 having gone unbeaten throughout their qualification campaign. Drawn in Group E alongside Belgium, Slovakia and either Ukraine or Iceland, Romania could be a real dark-horse in Germany this summer. On Friday they take on a Northern Ireland team enduring a difficult run of form. Michael O’Neill’s side lost seven of their ten qualification matches and they will be major underdogs in Bucharest on Friday.
Spain v Colombia: Draw - 5/2
Spain will be amongst the favourites for Euro 2024 but they may have a difficult evening ahead of them at West Ham United’s London Stadium on Friday. Spain won last year’s UEFA Nations League and eased through qualification for the European Championships however, Friday’s opponents, Colombia are on an incredible 19-game unbeaten run that has included wins over Brazil, Germany and most recently Mexico.
Five of the previous six matches between these two nations have ended all-square and a draw looks to be the most likely outcome on Friday evening.
