Football Tips - 01.09.2016

Italy vs. France
Italy and France are going into the latest control match before starting in a few days for the World Cup qualifiers. Both teams left good impressions at the Euro 2016. From what we have seen it is hard for one team to be described as better than the other. Our football prediction is X.

Belgium vs. Spain
The same can be said about these two teams, only that they, rather than impress, failed at the European championship. Both teams had had great expectations but failed to respond to them. We are unable to determine who is the better team and we don`t think Belgium or Spain will want to lose after the collapse in France. Our soccer forecast from free soccer predictions is X.

Netherlands vs. Greece
Here a stronger team can now be found. No doubt this is not Greece which lost twice against the Faroe Islands in the Euro 2016 qualifications. Netherlands also failed at these qualifications but in the controls, after them, the team showed a much better person. Our soccer prediction is 1.

Portugal vs. Gibraltar
The handicap means that the bet on Gibraltar will win if Portugal does not win by more than five goals. Gibraltar in most matches managed to avoid such a difference. The European champion will hardly want to humiliate its opponent so much. Our football forecast from free soccer predictions is 2 with a handicap + 6 goals.
