UEFA European Under-21 Championship
Spain U21 vs. Switzerland U21
- When: Saturday, July 1, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Spain -217 // Switzerland +520
Oddsmakers are likely to make the Spanish favorites on both the handicap and money lines. In their last Euro Under21 match, Spain drew 2-2 versus the Ukraine. In the match before, Spain beat Croatia 1-0, which is how Spain made it to this quarterfinals match.
Switzerland has lost their last couple of under-21 games. Losses came against France and Italy. For sure, Switzerland could step it up, but Spain has more overall talent. Spain wins by at least a goal.
Soccer Betting Pick: Spain
England U21 vs. Portugal U21
- When: Sunday, July 2, 2023
- Soccer Odds: England -109 // Portugal +255
Oddsmakers are likely to make the Spanish favorites on both the handicap and money lines. In their last Euro Under21 match, Spain drew 2-2 versus the Ukraine. In the match before, Spain beat Croatia 1-0, which is how Spain made it to this quarterfinals match.
Switzerland has lost their last couple of under-21 games. Losses came against France and Italy. For sure, Switzerland could step it up, but Spain has more overall talent. Spain wins by at least a goal.
Soccer Betting Pick: England
MLS
Inter Miami CF vs. Austin FC
- When: Saturday, July 1, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Inter Miami CF +137 // Austin FC +170
Inter Miami has a win and 4 losses in their last 5. The home squad favorite in this has only beaten USL team Birmingham in their last 5 contests.
Austin FC is on a 2-match winning streak. The road dog blasted FC Dallas and Houston Dynamo via 3-0 scores. Although both wins happened in Austin, and Austin is on the road on Saturday, the wins impressed enough to make the underdog the pick.
Soccer Betting Pick: Austin FC
Minnesota United vs. Portland Timbers
- When: Saturday, July 1, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Minnesota United +115 // Portland Timbers +205
Neither squad is in great form. Underdog Portland has a single victory in their last 5. The win came in a 1-0 match versus FC Dallas at home on June 11.
Minnesota shows 3 draws and 2 losses in their last 5. Minny United has drawn in their last couple of home games. Playing a third straight home draw makes sense.
Soccer Betting Pick: Draw
San Jose Earthquakes vs. LA Galaxy
- When: Saturday, July 1, 2023
- Soccer Odds: San Jose Earthquakes +107 // LA Galaxy +210
The Earthquakes host the Galaxy after 2 straight losses. San Jose fell to the Dynamo in Houston 4-1 on June 21. Then in their next match on June 24, St. Louis beat SJ 2-1 in an Earthquakes’ home match.
LA Galaxy has won the last 2 head-to-head matches. If the odds difference was tighter, backing the home team makes sense. But at +210, the Galaxy is more than playable to make it 3 straight versus San Jose.
Soccer Betting Pick: LA Galaxy
Atlanta United FC vs. Philadelphia Union
- When: Sunday, July 2, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Atlanta United FC +126 // Philadelphia Union +180
Neither squad has the edge in this. Philadelphia won their last match via a 4-1 score, but the game happened in Philly and it was against Inter Miami.
The ATL United lost to the Red Bulls by 4. But the game was on the road. We can make a case for either squad to get it done on Sunday, which is why the draw is the best play.
Soccer Betting Pick: Draw
