Soccer Odds: The soccer schedule for Wednesday, June 22nd features seven games with four in Euro 2016 including Belgium taking on Sweden and three in MLS. Group E and Group F will wrap up group play on Wednesday with two matches in each group with two matches on ESPN and two on ESPN 2. The match between Belgium and Sweden will likely determine which of the two teams advances out of Group E.
Here is a look at the four games in Euro 2016 for Wednesday and the three in MLS and soccer picks.
Wednesday, June 22nd (All Times Eastern)
Portugal vs. Hungary – 12:00 pm (ESPN)
Portugal is a big favorite to defeat Hungary on Wednesday on ESPN. Portugal will likely have to win this game to take the top spot in Group F while Hungary will probably need to win to advance. Portugal has the better team and the marquee player in Cristiano Ronaldo but Hungary proved in their opening win over Austria they are capable of pulling off a surprise.
3 Way: Portugal -235, Hungary +630, Draw +335
Spread: Portugal -1 -125, Hungary +1 +105
Total: 2.5 over -120
ATS Stats
These teams have met five times in their history and it has been all Portugal as they have won all five meetings. The teams last met in 2009 with Portugal winning 3-0.
I will lay the goal and take Portugal in this contest.
Austria vs. Iceland – 12:00 pm (ESPN 2)
Austria is a slight favorite as they take on Iceland on ESPN 2. This will be a game where the winner will likely have a chance to advance from Group F while the loser will be out. Austria put themselves in a hole by losing their opening game against Hungary but they will be favored in this game against an Iceland squad that did well to get a draw in their opening match against Portugal.
3 Way: Austria -105, Iceland +275, Draw +245
Spread: Austria -1/2 -105, Iceland +1/2 -115
Total: 2.5 under -125
ATS Stats
These teams have met three times previously with Austria winning once with two draws. The teams met two years ago in a friendly and played to a 1-1 draw.
Euro 2016 Picks
I will take Austria to win this contest.
Republic of Ireland vs. Italy – 3:00 pm (ESPN)
Italy is favored as they take on Republic of Ireland on Wednesday in a Group E match on ESPN. Italy could be in a position where they have already clinched a spot in the knockout round before this match begins but they will still likely need to win to get the top spot and Ireland will almost assuredly need the win to advance.
3 Way: Italy -130, Republic of Ireland +350, Draw +250
Spread: Italy -1/2 -130, Republic of Ireland +1/2 +110
Total: 2.5 under -130
ATS Stats
These teams have met 13 times previously with Italy winning 8 times, Ireland winning 2 times with 3 draws. They last met in a 2014 friendly and played to a scoreless draw.
Euro 2016 Picks
I will take this game under the total.
Belgium vs. Sweden – 3:00 pm (ESPN 2)
Belgium is favored against Sweden on Wednesday in a match that can be seen on ESPN 2. Belgium disappointed in their opener against Italy but if they win this game against Sweden there is a good chance they will advance. Belgium has plenty of scoring with players like Kevin de Bruyne and Eden Hazard but there is no question they are missing Vincent Kompany on defense. The key for Belgium in this game will be keeping tabs on Zlatan Ibrahimovic who is Sweden’s top scorer.
3 Way: Belgium -135, Sweden +355, Draw +265
Spread: Belgium -1/2 -135, Sweden +1/2 +115
Total: 2.5 under -125
ATS Stats
Belgium has won four of the previous seven meetings between the teams with Sweden winning twice with one draw. They last met in a friendly two years ago that Belgium won 2-0.
Euro 2016 Picks
I will take Belgium to get the win in this game.
