Line movements are really big so a lot will depend on your odds. I will post only direction of my bets for now maybe you will find better lines in your local bookmaker who did not moved line. So here are my choices for Day 1.
France - Italy France is very agressive team in defense. They allows only 49 points per game in friendlies and won against Italy 68-33 on tournament played in Italy. I expect another confident win but this time Italy should be better prepared. I would set 68-55 line for this game so 123-126 is more fair line in my opinion. Pick: Under 130.5 Pinnacle Turkey - Latvia Turkey is the only team who won against France in friendlies, also they beat Spain and showed good results by winning 6 of 8 games. Latvia team played in division B and I doubt that they will be able to hold in this game for long. Expect Turkey to win by 8-15 points. Pick: Turkey (-6.5) Pinnacle Spain - Belgium Spain was 2nd on last U-18 EC but they have only 3 players from that team for this tournament. Also they are not looking good in friendlies (only one game won) and looks like offensively this team is not yet on their best level. In most of their games they failed to score 70 points and I hardly seem them covering 20.5 handicap against belgiums with so weak offense. Belgium young women are known as fighters, sure they are not the same class as Spain and they have different goals but I think that here we have a bit overstimated Spain. I think that 14-16.5 handicap is more fair for this game. Pick: Belgium (+19.5) Bwin
