Thursday’s Top Football Predictions & Bets
Thursday night brings crunch time at the Women’s European Championships and a busy card in the Europa League qualifiers. Switzerland look primed to edge Finland and book a knockout spot in front of their home fans.
Switzerland Women vs Finland Women – Euro 2025 Preview
The final round of Group A sees Switzerland needing just a draw to reach the last 16. But with the crowd behind them, expect them to push for all three points.
✅ Switzerland come off a solid 2-0 win over Iceland.
✅ Finland beat Iceland too but only after going a player up.
✅ Switzerland have seen more action after the break in both group matches.
Prediction & Odds: Switzerland to win looks value at 2.17.
Norway Women vs Iceland Women – Dead Rubber but Value
Norway are through and will top the group no matter what. Expect changes as Gemma Grainger rotates her squad. Iceland are playing for pride only.
✅ Celin Bizet could start after two sub cameos – she’s 3.20 anytime scorer.
✅ With little on the line, corners could dry up: Under 8.5 corners at 2.12 looks fair.
Shakhtar Donetsk vs Ilves – Europa League Qualifier
It’s rare to see Shakhtar at this stage, but third place last season means they start early. They face Finnish side Ilves in neutral Slovenia.
✅ Shakhtar are heavy favourites at 1.22 but goals might be tight.
✅ They’ve scored sparingly in pre-season – a win with under 3.5 goals is 1.85.
Thursday’s Super Singles
✅ Shakhtar Win & Under 3.5 Goals – 1.85
✅ Under 8.5 Corners in Norway vs Iceland – 2.12
✅ Switzerland to Win – 2.17
Odds correct at time of writing.
