Matchdays 3 and 4 produced eight exact correct scores between them, including Croatia 1-2 Spain, Portugal 2-1 Norway and Switzerland 3-0 North Macedonia. Matchday 4 was clearly the better of the two: the main and value tips each landed in 15 of 26 matches, and in ten matches the main tip, value tip and Bet Builder all came in. Goalless draws such as Estonia 0-0 Iceland, Montenegro 0-0 Armenia and Greece 0-0 Germany dragged the numbers down.
