One bet a day for Euro 2016 - Day 8

Day 7 was a winner for us and Roy's Boys! I put up BTTS in England vs Wales which landed at odds of 5/4 and we're onto a figure of -0.17 units. Onwards, and hopefully upwards towards a profit!
Day 8

One thing that shocked me, and the majority of punters judged on their movement in the outright market, was just how good Italy were against Belgium, the supposed 2nd best team in the world. Italy gave us a lesson in tournament football, winning 2-0 and looking excellent. Their opponents on Friday, Sweden, laboured to a 1-1 draw with Ireland in their opening fixture and I think the 5/6 available on Italy to beat the Swedes rates as a cracking bit of value.

However, another team to impress in the opening round of fixtures was Croatia, who comfortably dispatched Turkey 1-0 but were arguably value for more. The Czech Republic played with credit when holding Spain for 99% of their game, only to concede a last minute goal and go down 1-0. Losing that game means the Czech's will have to attack a bit more here, as while a 0-0 draw would have rated a sensational result against Spain 1 point will simply not be enough now for them. I think Croatia are well equipped to overcome the Czech and at 10/11 I want a bit of that value.

Therefore the bet for day 8 is a nice win double, combining Italy at 5/6 and Croatia at 10/11, coming in just over 5/2 (a £1 stake returns 3.53)

Day 8 - Italy and Croatia win double 3.53
