Remember, only bet what you are comfortable with! So let's go ahead and dive into the fun.
Romania vs. Ukraine, 9 a.m. ET Monday, FUBO TV
I have a Golden Boot wager on Artem Dovbyk, and I basically accounted for a goal here against a Romania side not in good form. It would be huge if he could get on the board here, as Harry Kane did not score Sunday while Kylian Mbappe and Romelu Lukaku also start their Euro campaign Monday.
PICK: Artem Dovbyk anytime goalscorer (+150)
Belgium vs. Slovakia, 12 p.m. ET Monday, FS1 and the FOX Sports App
I'm banking on Lukaku drawing a ton of attention from Slovakia, which should create scoring chances and looks for other players such as Jeremy Doku, who had three goals and eight assists domestically this year for Manchester City.
PICK: Jeremy Doku at least one shot on target (-135)
Austria vs. France, 3 p.m. ET Monday, FOX and the FOX Sports App
The excitable, energetic Marcel Sabitzer should get a boost from playing in the nation where he plays domestically for Borussia Dortmund. He'll likely get at least one great opportunity Monday, as well as potentially being booked, which he has a pretty good history of happening. He's a nice price to receive a card as well, if you want to gamble.
PICK: Marcel Sabitzer at least one shot on target (+140)
