Tuesday’s acca
Switzerland -1.5 Asian handicap
Switzerland vs Estonia (1915 BST)
Switzerland have picked an easy opponent to kick off their Euro 2024 preparations. The hosts should be able to see off Estonia with ease before turning their attention to Austria.
Estonia have lost their last five away matches and conceded at least two in each. These teams haven’t met since 2016, but the Swiss have won all four meetings to nil.
Portugal vs Finland (1945 BST)
A lot of countries seem to stumble their way through friendly matches, particularly pre-tournament, but Portugal don’t have that problem.
Selecao have won their last five home friendlies, seeing off the likes of Israel and Sweden, and scored 23 goals in the process. Finland’s defence is capable of collapsing.
Ireland vs Hungary (1945 BST)
Hungary are no mugs. They’re unbeaten in 14 and produced a fantastic qualifying campaign, scoring 16 goals as they saw off Serbia and Montenegro.
Goal-shy Ireland will be without Evan Ferguson and a handful of other potential starters, such as Chiedozie Ogbene. They’ll struggle to break down this organised unit.
Austria vs Serbia (1945 BST)
These sides will feature at Euro 2024 but seem to be on different paths. Austria have won their last five across all competitions, including a 2-0 win against Germany and 6-1 thrashing of Turkey.
Serbia have failed to win six of 10 despite facing mostly low-level opposition. They collapsed against Russia, losing 4-0 in March, and scraped past Cyprus last week.
Italy vs Turkey (2000 BST)
Turkey were more convincing than Italy in qualification, but you could argue they had the marginally easier group.
Turkey’s defence lets them down often away from home, as they tend to concede in bunches, while Italy are usually a solid bet against lower-ranked nations.
