Well, degens. The weekend is here and there is plenty of soccer action to fire away on. Today, we’re going to focus on the 3 PM EST Euro 2024 matchup between Belgium and Romania. On one side of the dugouts, the Romanians roll into today with three points in their bag. Perhaps more surprisingly, the Belgians come into this matchup with zero points. So, if there was ever a day for the Belgians to fire on all cylinders, it would be today. Let’s dive into a couple of entries and try to cash a two-pack snack. Here are today’s two best Euro 2024 Underdog Fantasy Picks for June 22.
The Quick Pick: Daily Euro 2024 Underdog Fantasy Pick ’em Picks for June 22
Kevin De Bruyne Higher Than 0.5 Goals + Assists
This Belgium team came into Euro 2024 as one of the outside favorites. Yet, they somehow managed to bottle their first matchup against the Slovaks. Anyone familiar with the group stage formats now understands that today is really a must-win for Belgium. Luckily, this team has plenty of talent all over the pitch. We’re wearing our value hunting glasses, and our first entry spotted is midfielder Kevin De Bruyne.
De Bruyne plays his club soccer at Manchester City, and if you know anything about that team, you know he’s rather good. The Belgian midfielder creates chances but also has the ability to score goals. In fact, this season in the English Premier League, he scored four goals and added 10 assists. Today’s second group stage match is a massive one if Belgium wants to find their way out. So, we’re taking the Belgian talisman to go Higher Than 0.5 Goals + Assists.
Denis Dragus Higher Than 0.5 Goals + Assists (2.0x Odds)
On the flip side of the coin in Group E of the Euros, the Romanians struck paydirt in their opener. Not only was it paydirt, but they produced a somewhat surprising onslaught of three team goals. But the Romanians have some grit in their game and did find good form on their way into this tournament. So, we’re keeping the value hunting glasses on and looking at Romanian striker Denis Dragus as our second Underdog entry.
Conversely to the well-known De Bruyne above, Denis Dragus is not quite the household name in soccer. He plays his club soccer in Turkey where this past season he tallied 15 goals and 1 assist across 35 matches played. And here at Euro 2024, Dragus has already found the scoresheet with a 57th-minute goal against Ukraine. The price is pretty spicy on this entry, but Dragus should do enough to create or score. This pick is also an angle against a Belgian defense that looks a bit out of shape and shaky. So, we’re going to take the Romanian striker Denis Dragus to go Higher Than 0.5 Goals + Assists. Let’s cash a soccer banger!
