Euro 6 starts on July 2022 in England. About the timing of the tournament, favorites and bets, we tell in the article.
Recently, the popularity of women's football has increased dramatically. If until recently such a sport among women was a unique product, then this spring a new attendance record for a women's football match was set: 91 spectators came to the Champions League semi-final between Barcelona and Wolfsburg.
Despite growing popularity, betting on women's football remains an "Unpredictable market" (hard to predict market).
Bookmakers and players are in approximately the same conditions. Matches of women's teams often end in surprises. For example, at the Women's Euro 2017, in 24 games at the group stage, the team won four times, the triumph of which was set at odds of 8.0 or higher, including in the office line 1x bet. Read the review of the bookmaker on the RB website.
To achieve success in betting on the upcoming European Championship, bettors should take into account the main trends in women's football.
The fundamental trend that was traced at the last two European Women's Championships was the victory of the underdogs. Favorites failed to beat rivals in 52% of matches. Outside teams were able to win in 27% of matches. The double chance was played in 52% of cases, and the handicap on a weaker opponent was played in 64%.
Major sensations happen in the group stage. Already closer to the playoffs, bookmakers can adequately assess the strength of the teams and set quotes that are close to the correct ones.
Another of the main characteristics of women's football is low performance. Every year, the level of the teams is gradually leveling off, and the matches of the national teams demonstrate this perfectly. The average performance for Euro 2013 was recorded at 2.24, while for Euro 2017 the same indicator was at 2.19. In 57% of cases, bets on the total of the match under 2.5 goals were played.
In the playoff matches at Euro 2017, the bet on over 2.5 goals played in three out of seven matches. But the final of the tournament ended very productively - 6 goals. Therefore, after the group stage, the trend for “grassroots” football no longer works.
Recall that the group stage of the tournament will last until July 18. Playoffs start July 20th. The quarter-finals will end on July 23rd. The semi-finals will be held on July 26 and 27, and on July 31 the final match for the title will take place.
The current champions are the players of the Netherlands national team. Among the contenders for victory in the competition this year are several teams at once: English, Spanish, French, Swedish and German.
