Finland vs. Russia
9 a.m. ET, ESPN
Finland (+450)
Russia (-155)
Tie (+280)
Over/under: 2.5 goals
Finland enters this game in second place in Group B. The Fins beat Denmark on Saturday in a result that took a backseat to Christian Eriksen’s collapse on the field and the heroic efforts by the on-site medical staff to save his life. Not long after Finland won that game, Russia fell 3-0 to Belgium. We shouldn’t take much away from Finland’s win given the circumstances of how the game resumed. But it’s fair game to wonder why Russia is the favorite here after that performance against Belgium.
Official picks
Finland to win (+450)
Under 2.5 goals (-160)
Bold bet
Finland to win to nil (+575)
Turkey vs. Wales
Noon ET, ESPN
Turkey (+135)
Wales (+240)
Tie (+200)
Over/under: 2.5 goals
Wales got an important point against Switzerland on Saturday as a late Swiss go-ahead goal was disallowed after a replay review. Turkey lost 3-0 to Italy in the opening tournament of the game. Oddsmakers don’t really like either team as a heavy favorite here and this feels like a tossup. Turkey isn’t as bad as it looked against Italy.
Official picks
Both teams to score (+110)
Under 2.5 goals (-200)
Bold bet
Tie in the first half, Wales to win (+625)
Italy vs. Switzerland
3 p.m. ET, ESPN
Italy (-175)
Switzerland (+500)
Tie (+300)
Over/under: 2.5 goals
A win means Italy is moving on to the knockout rounds while Switzerland would happily take a point and the chance to move on to the knockout rounds with a result against Turkey. Switzerland is a heavy underdog here after failing to put Wales away in the second half on Saturday. If you want to take Italy or a tie, your odds are a staggeringly low -800.
Official picks
Italy to win (-175)
Over 2.5 goals (+120)
Bold bet
Federico Chiesa to score first for Italy (+550)
