Sweden vs Poland
Sweden enjoyed a perfect form in the build-up of EURO 2020, and they managed to continue in the same fashion. They fought for a goalless draw against Spain while beating Slovakia 1:0 thanks to Emil Forsberg’s successfully converted penalty kick. No matter what happens in this match, Janne Andersson’s side will continue the campaign. It is questionable only from which position in the group stage. Sweden celebrated in six out of their last seven games, having an excellent defensive record. They still haven’t conceded in this tournament, allowing just one goal on the previous seven occasions. Although their opponents prior to EURO 2020 haven’t been that challenging, that excellent streak positively impacted Swedish players. Sweden wants to keep up where they left off and remain unbeaten in this competition.
Poland has its last chance to remain in the tournament, and only a victory can keep them alive. They ruined the opportunity to start with a win after losing to Slovakia in the opening round. However, Orły improved their game against Spain and held them to a 1:1 draw. Despite being at the bottom of the group standings, Paulo Sousa’s side could secure a top-two finish if they win this match. Nevertheless, Poland needs to improve its defending to succeed in this quest. They managed to keep the clean sheet just once on the previous nine occasions, and a leaky defense cost them several victories. Robert Lewandowski scored against Spain, and that might be a massive boost of confidence for the star striker. Poland has nothing t wait for, and they should go straight to picking up a win.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Sweden is keen on continuing its unbeatable run, while Poland desperately needs a victory. Orly might push much harder for a win, and they could eventually deliver it.
Goals Market Prediction
Although Sweden has been very disciplined in the back, Poland scored in their last eight matches. On the other hand, Orly’s defense is very leaky, and we don’t believe either side will keep its net intact.

Slovakia vs Spain
Sokoli sit in 2nd place on the table, but they still need to do a lot to secure a place in the eight-finals. The biggest challenge is ahead of them, as Slovakia needs to remain undefeated in this game. Stefan Tarkovic’s side had an excellent start to the campaign, as they celebrated a vital 2:1 victory over Poland. However, they had massive help from their rivals, as they scored an own goal and were outnumbered in the last 30 minutes of the game. Unfortunately for them, Marek Hamsik and the lads didn’t pick up anything against Sweden, as the late penalty kick cost them a defeat. It was their first loss after six straight games, and Slovakia would like to get back on the upbeat track. However, the most challenging opponent is ahead of them, who also desperately needs points to proceed further.
Spain has been quite disappointing so far, as they still haven’t celebrated a win. They wasted tons of chances against Sweden in a goalless draw. Luis Enrique’s side didn’t manage to beat Poland as well, despite having a penalty kick awarded at 1:1. Gerard Moreno hit the post, and it is still unexplainable how Alvaro Morata missed that sitter. The result didn’t change, and La Furia Roja remained 3rd on the table with only two points. Spain plays in front of its fans again, and they don’t have the right for more mistakes, as it would mean their elimination from EURO 2020. Despite being defensively solid, the hosts haven’t been clinical in front of the oppositions’ net lately. Spain needs to go for a victory if they want to continue the pursuit of the title.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
The home side is a firm favorite in this one, and everything except their win would be shocking. However, backing Slovakia on the Asian Handicap market might bring more value, as the odds on Spain are very slim. It is not going to be an easy game for the hosts, and we don’t believe Slovakia will lose by more than two goals.
Goals Market Prediction
Neither side has been involved in many high-scoring matches lately. Slovakia will be focused primarily on defending its net, while Spain needs to attack from the very start. Since the hosts were pretty wasteful so far, we will take a risk and go with the Under 2.5 pick for the goals market.

Croatia vs Scotland
Vatreni are one of the biggest underachievers in EURO 2020, as they booked only a point from the first two matches. Therefore, the narrow 1:0 defeat against England is not too surprising, but they could have put a better performance. Furthermore, Zlatko Dalic’s side failed to pick up three points against the Czech Republic as well, as they drew 1:1. Croatia is on a slight decline lately, as they also barely survived in the UEFA Nations League top division. Luka Modric and the lads haven’t tasted a win four times in a row, and they need to break that poor streak to remain in the tournament. Although they have been pretty solid in the back, Croatia needs to improve its finishing in this game.
Scotland didn’t have a good time at Hampden Park in their first match in EURO 2020, as they lost to the Czech Republic 2:0. After that, however, Steve Clarke’s side fought for a goalless draw against England that kept their chances of progressing further. That could be a massive boost of confidence for the hosts to book a victory here and advance to the eight-finals for the first time. However, Che Adams and the lads need to start scoring since they are still searching for the first goal in the tournament. Scotland has been defensively solid lately, but finishing is their central pain point at the moment. The hosts need to put their best performance so far and achieve their best accomplishment in their history of major tournaments.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
It is going to be a tight clash, and both sides will go for a win in this one. On the other hand, a draw doesn’t suit either team, and we think it’s the least likely outcome. Croatia is more experienced in these matches, and we believe they will celebrate a vital victory.
Goals Market Prediction
Both teams haven’t been clinical in front of the oppositions’ net, while their defenses perform a pretty good job. We shouldn’t expect to see many goals, like was the case in their all five head-to-head clashes. Therefore, this match should remain under a 2.5 margin.

Czech Republic vs England
Although their form ahead of EURO 2020 wasn’t too promising, the Czech Republic tops Group D. Despite having the same number of points as their upcoming rivals, they scored more goals than England. Jaroslav Silhavy’s side opened the campaign with a vital 2:0 victory over Scotland. It was followed by a 1:1 draw against Croatia, although it seemed the Czech Republic is closer to another win. Patrik Schick is on fire after scoring all three goals for his team in EURO 2020, and he will be a significant threat to the Three Lions. The Czech Republic raised its form in the perfect moment, and they scored in their last three games. A point from this match would see them finishing the group stage at the top spot.
England enjoyed a successful start, as they beat Croatia thanks to Raheem Sterling’s winner. However, when everybody expected Gareth Southgate’s side to keep up where they left off, they booked a goalless draw against Scotland. Although they were dominant in the battle of Britain, Harry Kane and the lads couldn’t crack a disciplined Scottish side. The Three Lions have been unbeatable in the back lately, as they kept the clean sheet in the last four games. However, their finishing hasn’t been excellent, as England failed to score more than a goal on the previous four occasions. They need to get back on the winning ways to secure a pole position in Group D.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Bookies consider England as a firm favorite, but they won’t have an easy job at all. The Czech Republic is a pretty dangerous team, and they already beat England in 2019. Keeping in mind that England hasn’t been too productive, we don’t think the Czech will lose by more than one goal. If you are brave enough, you might even go with a draw or the Czech Republic AH +0.5, at least.
Goals Market Prediction
England’s last four games remained under a 1.5 margin due to their excellent defense and poor finishing. We expect another tight clash in which the crowd shouldn’t see more than two goals in total.
Czech Republic AH +1.25 @ 1.60

Russia vs Denmark
Sbornaya got back in the race for the top-two finish after beating Finland in the previous round. It wasn’t a perfect performance, but Stanislav Cherchesov’s side managed to book vital three points. Russia seemed a bit better compared to the clash against Belgium, which they easily lost 3:0. They climbed to the 2nd spot, but their top-two finish severely depends on the result from this game. Artem Dzyba and the lads should convert more of their chances into goals, while their defense needs to be perfect against Denmark. Russia hasn’t been too convincing lately, and they need to step up and perform much better if they want to progress from the group stage.
Denmark still searches for its first points in EURO 2020, but they are not without a chance of advancing from the group stage. They suffered an unlucky 1:0 defeat against Finland and failed to keep their advantage in a 2:1 loss against Belgium. It was quite a solid performance, and Denmark perfectly opened that match. Yussuf Poulsen’s goal brought them an early lead, but Kevin de Bruyne was unstoppable in the second half. Kasper Hjulmand’s side can remain in the tournament only if they win and with a bit of luck in other games. Denmark want to return to their recognizable form before EURO 2020 and seek a victory in front of their fans.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
It is going to be a big fight between these two sides, as both want to progress to the eight-finals. We see Denmark as a favorite in this game, and we believe the hosts will pick up all three points. We’ll see if it’s going to be enough for a place in the knockout stage.
Goals Market Prediction
Denmark was pretty confident in the back before EURO 2020 started, while Russia failed to score only once in the last seven games. Both teams will go for a win, and we could see them scoring at least once.

Finland vs Belgium
Finland enjoys an excellent campaign as they are still in the game for progressing further. A narrow 1:0 victory in their opening match against Denmark was one of the biggest surprises in EURO 2020 so far. However, Markku Kanerva’s side suffered a 1:0 defeat against Russia in the previous round and missed a chance to secure a top-two finish. They need at least a point against the group leaders and one of the major favorites for the EURO 2020 title. Teemu Pukki and the lads need another disciplined performance, while they should be more clinical in front of the opposition’s net. Finland hopes to provide another surprise and make this campaign memorable.
After easily beating Russia 3:0 in the first round, Belgium had a much more challenging task in the next game. They trailed 1:0 against Denmark from the very beginning of the match, after an abysmal start of the game. However, Kevin de Bruyne’s magic helped the Red Devils to turn around the result and celebrate another victory. Roberto Martinez’s side is very close to clinching the top spot in the group, and they need just one point from this clash. The FIFA World Rankings team no.1 aims high in this tournament, and they want to avoid any signs of complacency. Belgium searches for another confident performance and another three points.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Despite possible changes in the starting line-up, Belgium is still a firm favorite in this game. Finland will try its best to remain undefeated in this game, but we believe the Red Devils will meet the expectations.
Goals Market Prediction
Since Belgium is their toughest opponent in the group, we don’t believe Finland will make changes to their defensive approach. Although they need a positive result from this clash, we don’t see them scoring in this match.

Ukraine vs Austria
Ukraine left a pretty positive impression so far, despite losing in the first round against the Netherlands. They managed to equalize after losing 2:0 but still suffered a 3:2 defeat. Andriy Shevchenko’s side booked a vital victory against North Macedonia thanks to an excellent first half. Yarmolenko and Yaremchuk have been clinical in front of the oppositions’ net so far, and they want to keep up in the same fashion. Ukraine is in positive momentum, as they celebrated in their both warm-up games ahead of EURO 2020. If they don’t lose this game, Zbirna will secure a top-two finish and a place in the knockout round.
Austria managed to beat North Macedonia as well, but only after a furious finish when they scored twice. Their performance against the Netherlands was not even average, and they need to do much better in the next match(es). Franco Foda’s side sits in third place in the group, despite having the same number of points as their upcoming rivals. Marko Arnautovic and the lads haven’t been in good form lately, as they celebrated only once on the previous five occasions. Austria didn’t manage to score in four matches during that period, and they need to improve their finishing. They need at least a point from this one to advance from the group stage.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Both sides should proceed further if they don’t lose this game, even if they finish as 3rd in the group. Bookies have severely reduced the odds for a draw, and it could likely happen. However, Ukraine seems to be in better momentum, and we want to ensure our pick with Asian Handicap.
Goals Market Prediction
Ukraine has been pretty productive lately, and they scored in their last eight games. Austria is also capable of finding the back of the oppositions’ goal, despite their poor form in the front. Therefore, we don’t believe the nets will remain still in this one.

North Macedonia vs Netherlands
Despite being brave in the opening two rounds, North Macedonia sits at the bottom of their group without points won. After losing to Austria in their first-ever EURO match, Risovi failed to a 2:1 defeat against Ukraine. Nevertheless, Igor Angelovski’s side decently represents their country, and they aim for another courageous display in Amsterdam. However, Stefan Ristovski and the lads need to tighten their defense, conceding five goals in this tournament. North Macedonia has been pretty decent in the front, as they scored in their last eight matches. They need their best performance so far to remain undefeated in this clash.
The Netherlands has a perfect record so far, although they didn’t shine in EURO 2020. Oranje beat Ukraine in their first game 3:2 but allowed the opponent to equalize after their 2:0 lead. They were confident against Austria in a 2:0 victory, but it feels like this team could do much better. Nevertheless, Frank de Boer’s side did enough to secure a place in the knockout stage, and they aim for the top spot. Memphis Depay and the lads should continue their excellent work in the front, and anything is possible from the eight-finals. The Netherlands wants to keep up where they left off and victoriously complete the group stage.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
The Netherlands is a firm favorite in this clash as well, although changes in the starting lineup are possible. We believe they can secure the advantage at halftime and pick up all three points from this game.
Goals Market Prediction
Both sides have been involved in many high-scoring matches lately, and this one shouldn’t be much different. The Netherlands scored at least twice on the previous nine occasions, while North Macedonia netted eight times in a row. Therefore, we should see at least three goals in this clash.

Switzerland vs Turkey
This campaign hasn’t been going very well for the Swiss team, as they picked up just a point from the first two games. They missed many goalscoring opportunities against Wales, got punished, and snatched only a draw. Vladimir Petkovic’s side couldn’t provide much resistance against Italy, which celebrated an easy 3:0 victory. Breece Embolo and the lads need to go for a win in this one and get back to the winning track. Switzerland enjoyed an excellent form ahead of EURO 2020, as they tied six wins. However, they managed to keep only one clean sheet on the previous five occasions, and it was the game against minnows Liechtenstein. Switzerland should put their best performance in the tournament to keep the chance of progressing further.
Turkey is among the biggest underachievers in this tournament, falling to two defeats so far. Although the one against Italy wasn’t surprising, everybody expected them to perform against Wales better. Senol Gunes’s side has been looking uninspiring so far, and they still haven’t found the way to the oppositions’ net. Burak Yilmaz didn’t continue his streak from the Ligue 1 finish, and his teammates haven’t been much better as well. However, Turkey has been in a very decent form ahead of the tournament. Six games without losing suggested they could fight for the knockout stage, but their chances of advancing are pretty slim. They definitely need to go for a win and hope for positive results in other groups.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Although they are still searching for the first win, Switzerland left a better impression compared to their opponents in EURO 2020. We think they will push forward to exit the group stage and win this match.
Goals Market Prediction
Neither team has been much productive in the final third in this tournament, and the importance of this game might see them being more cautious. Therefore, we don’t expect to see more than two goals in total.

Italy vs Wales
Italy looks like the most dominant team in EURO 2020 so far as they managed to record two convincing victories. Although none of them is a big surprise, they looked very confident against solid Turkey and Switzerland. Turkey is underperforming in this tournament, though, while Azzurri beat the Swiss side pretty easily – 3:0. Manuel Locatelli and the lads are on fire in the front, while their defensive record is even more impressive. Roberto Mancini’s side kept ten consecutive clean sheets, conceding only once in the previous 14 matches. The hosts have already secured a place in the knockout stage and will probably look forward to resting key players for the upcoming challenges. Alessandro Florenzi will be sidelined for this match, while Giorgio Chiellini should also skip this game.
Wales enjoys an excellent campaign, and they are pretty close to advancing from the group stage. The Dragons head to this game with four points in their pockets, and just one from this game would see them in the top two. Rob Page’s side earned a draw against Switzerland in the opening round while beating Turkey in the critical match for escaping from the bottom. Aaron Ramsey and Gareth Bale are the major forces for the away side, and they are driving the team forward. Wales hasn’t lost three times in a row, and the visitors hope to continue that run. It is going to be their biggest test so far in EURO 2020, and they need to be disciplined to get a chance of remaining undefeated.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Although Italy has already completed the job in the group stage, we believe they are eager to continue with excellent displays. Despite the possible changes in the starting line-up, the hosts are still favorites, and we think they will book another victory.
Goals Market Prediction
Azzurri have been unbeatable in the back, while Wales has been involved in low-scoring matches recently. We don’t expect to see too many goals in this one either, so the game should remain under a 2.5 margin.

Spain vs Poland
Although they dominated the game against Sweden, the hosts failed to pick up all three points. As a result, the game ended in a goalless draw, and La Furia Roja needs to search for a win in this one. Luis Enrique’s side hasn’t lost nine times in a row, but they were involved in many draws during that period. Nevertheless, Diego Llorente and the lads stabilized their backline as they managed to keep the clean sheet on the previous three occasions. However, Spain should start converting their chances into goals, as they failed to score two times in the last three matches. The home side can get very close to the top two if they celebrate a victory in this game.
Poland didn’t enjoy a positive start to the campaign, as they lost to Slovakia 2:1. Although they managed to equalize and were on the verge of turning things around, Grzegorz Krychowiak was sent off, which ruined their chances. Paulo Sousa’s side hasn’t tasted a win in the last four games, while their defensive work is quite concerning. Orly kept just one clean sheet on the previous eight occasions, which had a massive impact on their record. On the other hand, Robert Lewandowski doesn’t have enough support from his teammates and is not as dangerous for the oppositions’ goalkeepers as in Bayern Munich. A very tough task is ahead of Poland, but they won’t give up.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Spain shouldn’t let themselves mess up again, as they are firm favorites in this clash. We believe they will meet the expectations and also secure a halftime advantage.
Goals Market Prediction
Spain has tremendous attacking potential, while Poland hasn’t defended their goal very well recently. The visitors have been involved in many high-scoring matches lately, and we believe we can see at least three goals in this one.

Portugal vs Germany
It seemed that they wouldn’t make it, but a quickfire in the last ten minutes of the game saw Portugal beating Hungary 3:0. Cristiano Ronaldo’s brace made him the most efficient player in the history of the European Championships. This time, the opposition is much more challenging, and Seleção needs a more confident display here. Fernando Santos’s side is on an excellent run as they haven’t lost seven times in a row. During that period, Portugal failed to win only twice. They have also been pretty disciplined in the back, and Portugal managed to keep three consecutive clean sheets. The visitors look forward to another confident performance which can bring them valuable points.
Germany faced France in their campaign opener but failed to a narrow 1:0 defeat due to Matts Hummels own goal. They now need to chase a win here in order not to finish participation in another major tournament in the group stage. Joachim Low’s side is not as convincing as it was a couple of years ago, and Germany needs to improve to challenge the title. Their defensive problems are the particular highlight, as Elf has been conceding a lot. Germany couldn’t keep the clean sheet in their previous four games, and they couldn’t keep their net intact even against Latvia. If they don’t pick up at least a point from this one, Germany will find themselves in severe trouble.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Portugal is full of confidence after a positive start of the campaign, while Germany’s locker room atmosphere doesn’t seem to be good. We believe the defending champions are severely underestimated by the bookies and think Portugal won’t lose this one.
Goals Market Prediction
Germany needs to go towards the opposition’s goal from the very start, which can open some space for the visitors to hit back. Since the home side is leaky in the back, we could expect to see goals in both nets this time.

Hungary vs France
Although they were very close to snatching a point against the defending European champions, Hungary suffered a 3:0 defeat against Portugal. The hosts were brave but were not awarded for their efforts. They are in a tough group, though, and it would be surprising if Hungary manages to get through the group stage. Nemanja Nikolics and the lads failed to score two matches in a row, and they now face a very challenging opponent. Marco Rossi’s side enjoyed an excellent streak ahead of EURO 2020, but it ended at the start of the tournament. However, Hungary won’t give up as they want to fight bravely in front of their fans.
France made a huge step towards the knockout stage from the “Group of Death” as they managed to beat Germany 1:0. They could have scored more, but Didier Deschamps’s side wasn’t unhappy with this outcome at all. France is among the hottest favorites to win EURO 2020, and they want to keep up in the same fashion. Les Bleus enjoy a streak of five victories without conceding. They are rock-solid in the back, while Kylian Mbappe is the major threat for the oppositions’ goalkeepers. France has the chance to finish the job in the group stage, and they will search for all three points from this match.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
France is a firm favorite, and it would be a great surprise if they fail to win this game. Of course, the odds on the away win are not too generous, but we will go for the Asian Handicap to get a better price. We believe France should celebrate a victory by two goals at least.
Goals Market Prediction
Although Hungary can be pretty dangerous in the front, the visitors have been unbeatable in the back lately. We think France could provide another defensively solid performance and keep their net intact.

England vs Scotland
The Three Lions finally had a victorious start in EUROs after beating Croatia 1:0 in the opening round. Raheem Sterling’s second-half winner provided a significant boost of confidence to the hosts. England managed to revenge for a defeat in the World Cup 2018 semi-finals and get very close to progressing to the knockout stage. Gareth Southgate’s side entered a winning streak, as they celebrated seven times in a row. They have been pretty hard to crack in the back, as England conceded only once during that run. The hosts booked three straight 1:0 wins, and they want to continue in the same fashion.
It seems that Scotland won’t make it through the group stage once again. They suffered a 2:0 defeat against the Czech Republic at the home ground and found themselves in a very challenging position. They face England at Wembley Stadium and then Croatia in the last round. Steve Clarke’s side was disappointing in their first game and should improve a lot to remain undefeated in this one. Although they had a couple of good opportunities, Scotland still needs to work hard to enjoy a successful campaign. David Turnbull and the lads lost after five matches without a defeat, and they want to get back on the upbeat track. However, the visitors have a very challenging game ahead.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
England is a firm favorite in this one, and a victory against Croatia significantly impacted their motivation. We believe they shouldn’t have any problems against Scotland and could book a comfortable win. Since the odds on the straight win are slim, we want to boost them with Asian Handicap.
Goals Market Prediction
The Three Lions have been defensively excellent, while Scotland struggled in front of the oppositions’ net. This could be another game where England might keep the clean sheet.

Croatia vs Czech Republic
The current World Cup runners-up suffered a defeat in the EURO 2020 opener, as England celebrated a narrow 1:0 win. They now have a crucial game ahead of them if they don’t want to get in danger of finishing the campaign on the group stage. Zlatko Dalic’s side seems to be in poor momentum, as they failed to win on the last three occasions. Although defeats against Belgium and England are not too surprising, they needed to beat Armenia in the warm-up match. Luka Modric and the lads struggle in front of the oppositions’ net lately, as they scored just once in the previous three games. If they fail to win again, Croatia hopes to finish in the top two may vanish.
The Czech Republic managed to beat Scotland in the opening round at this venue after a 2:0 victory. Patrik Schick’s brace brought them very close to securing a place in the knockout stage, and they can accomplish that after this match. Although they haven’t been too consistent lately, Jaroslav Silhavy’s side put a quite confident performance in their first game in the tournament. They celebrated twice in a row, hoping that they can keep that run going. The Czech Republic finally managed to keep the clean sheet after five straight games of conceding. A victory from this one can guarantee them more battles starting from the eight-finals.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
It is a vital game for both teams, and the stake is enormous. Croatia plays to keep its chances of advancing further, while the Czech Republic wants to complete the job in the group stage. The game should be very exciting, and we wouldn’t be surprised if it ends in a draw.
Goals Market Prediction
Croatia doesn’t have much time to wait, and they should go with an attacking mentality in this game. The Czech Republic can perfectly exploit any chance of the counterattack, and therefore, we expect to see goals in both nets.

Sweden vs Slovakia
Blågult’s winning streak came to an end in their EURO 2020 opening match, but they won’t be too upset about it. Sweden managed to snatch a point against Spain and significantly increased their chances of going further. Janne Andersson’s side got what it came for and earned a goalless draw against one of the title contenders. Although they were pretty inferior, Sweden managed to neutralize the majority of La Furia Roja’s attacks. Mikael Lustig and the lads managed to keep their fifth clean sheet in the last six games, and Sweden looks very tight in the back. Nevertheless, those opponents were not among the top ones, this record can only provide a boost of confidence. Sweden wants to get back on the winning track and come very close to the knockout stage spot.
Slovakia also had an excellent start to the campaign, as they celebrated a vital 2:1 victory over Poland. However, despite having a half-time lead, Stefan Tarkovic’s side severely hanged over the cliff after Poland equalized. Nevertheless, when it seemed they won’t make it, Slovakia got generous help from their rivals and an extra player on the pitch. Marek Hamsik and the lads haven’t tasted a defeat on the previous six occasions, but they celebrated just twice during that period. Another three points could definitely seal their place in the knockout stage.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
It is going to be a tight clash that can go either way. However, we think Sweden is a slight favorite, and they could celebrate their first victory in EURO 2020. Sweden has also been more successful in their head-to-head clashes in this millennium.
Goals Market Prediction
Sweden has been pretty tight in the back recently, and they are looking forward to another disciplined performance. Slovakia had a lot of luck in the premier clash, and we believe this one will remain under a 2.5 margin.

Netherlands vs Austria
The home side opened the EURO 2020 campaign with a victory after a thrilling game against Ukraine. After the goalless first half, we saw fireworks in the second. Oranje had a 2:0 advantage, but Zbirna got back into the game. Eventually, the Netherlands celebrated a 3:2 victory thanks to a late winner. Although the hosts always aim high on the major tournaments, they need to become more consistent if they want to challenge the trophy. Frank de Boer is often criticized for his game style, but it has worked decently lately. The Netherlands missed the chance to win only once on the previous five occasions while losing just once in the last 11 matches. Memphis Depay and the lads want to keep up where they left off and secure a place in the knockout stage.
Austria struggled against North Macedonia, but they eventually picked up all three points. That victory ended their three-game winless streak and provided a vital boost of confidence. Franco Foda’s side got in an excellent position to qualify for the next stage, but they need to raise their game level. More challenging opponents are ahead of them, and this game will be a stern test for David Alaba and the lads. Austria has a talented but yet experienced squad that can go far in the competition. They could avoid the last-round drama against Ukraine if they manage to celebrate once again. However, it’s going to be a challenging task as they face the Netherlands at the away ground.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Neither team was very confident in the opening game, even though they both won their matches. However, the Netherlands could take advantage of playing in front of the home fans to celebrate another vital victory.

The Netherlands has been involved in many high-scoring matches recently. Seven out of their last eight games went over a 2.5 margin, and they might continue in the same fashion. Austria is a team that can score against any side, and we should enjoy another efficient clash.

Denmark vs Belgium
The hosts had a stressful start to the campaign, and nothing went well for Denmark. Of course, Christian Eriksen’s health problems disrupted the whole football world, and hopefully, he will get well. The game continued after a long break, but Kasper Hjulmand’s side failed to a narrow 1:0 defeat against Finland. Denmark definitely has the quality for the knockout stage spot, but they need to step up and start winning. They enjoyed a streak of five matches without losing and failed to celebrate just once during that period. However, the clash against Belgium will be their toughest test, as they lost twice against this rival in 2020.
Belgium is about to play on the away ground for the second time in this tournament, but the first clash wasn’t a problem for them. The Red Devils celebrated a convincing 3:0 victory against Russia and excellently opened the campaign. Roberto Martinez’s side looked dominant in that game, and they didn’t leave any space for a surprise. Romelu Lukaku managed to keep up where he left off by scoring a brace. The top-ranked team on the FIFA World Rankings is one of the major favorites for winning EURO 2020, and they want to keep up in the same fashion. If they manage to celebrate in this game, Belgium will secure the top spot in their group.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
It is going to be an exciting game as Denmark is not without a chance. However, Belgium will have Axel Witsel and Eden Hazard back in the team and have more depth. Therefore, we believe the Red Devils will book another victory, and the odds are pretty attractive.
Goals Market Prediction
Denmark should try to attack the opponent from the very start, as they don’t have space for waiting too much. On the other hand, Belgium is very powerful in the front, and we could enjoy an efficient clash. The last time these two sides met, we saw a total of six goals, and in this one, there might be at least three.

Ukraine vs North Macedonia
Zbirna was brave in the opening match against the Netherlands, but eventually, they left with empty pockets. Although Andriy Shevchenko’s side trailed 2:0, they managed to equalize thanks to Andriy Yarmolenko’s brace. However, Oranje snatched all three points thanks to a late winner. That defeat ended Ukraine’s six-match unbeaten run, and they conceded after keeping the clean sheet twice. Despite this loss, Ukraine showed that they shouldn’t be written off from the battle for the knockout stage. This game is crucial for them, as Zbirna could fight for the top-two finish in the closing round of the group stage.
North Macedonia made Austria struggling in their first-ever EURO game, but they eventually failed to a 3:1 defeat. They had a point in their pockets 15 minutes from the final whistle but couldn’t make it ‘till the end. Igor Angelovski’s side lost after four straight games without a defeat, and they want to get back on the winning track. However, they need a defensively solid performance to keep their dreams of progressing further alive. On the other hand, Goran Pandev and the lads should continue being clinical in front of the oppositions’ net. With potential three points from this game, North Macedonia could hope for providing the biggest surprise in this tournament.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
North Macedonia proved that they could be pretty tough to beat and won’t surrender without a fight. However, we believe Ukraine will meet the expectations and book all three points from this game.
Goals Market Prediction
Ukraine hasn’t been too tight in the back, and they managed to keep their net intact only twice on the previous ten occasions. Since North Macedonia failed to score only once in the last 17 games, we could see goals in both nets here.

As a Welshman, I've seen it time and time again where we've turned up in our droves to support the team and the pressure of the home crowd has got to the players. I'm counting on that happening for Turkey today. I do think there's slightly more pressure on Wales because if we lose then we have to get a result against Italy but if Turkey lose they can still try to get a win against Switzerland. It's going to be a tough one for Wales though. Harder than the Switzerland game but we were so far off it in that opening game. I'm expecting both ourselves and Turkey to put in improved displays. If either side doesn't then they'll lose.
As a Serbian, I can confirm the same for our national team. We knocked out Norway on the road when everybody thought Haaland will pack three goals at least, as we were in a very poor form. But it was our best performance in the past 5 years, at least. An then, Serbia have a chance to qualify at the home ground against Scotland, we already saw our team in EURO, but...

Italy vs Switzerland
Azzurri had an excellent start into the tournament as they celebrated a 3:0 victory over Turkey. Roberto Mancini’s side looked confident, and they easily beat a tricky opponent. Gianluigi Donnarumma booked another clean sheet, his ninth in a row, and Italy seems unbeatable in the back. On the other hand, Ciro Immobile and the lads have been on fire lately, producing 14 goals on the previous three occasions. Italy is full of confidence, and they hope for a successful campaign. They became much more disciplined after Roberto Mancini took over the bench, and Azzurri enjoy a remarkable streak. A victory could seal the knockout stage for them, but they shouldn’t get complacent as Switzerland is not an easy opponent.
Switzerland made rue to their chances and earned just a draw against Wales. Breel Embolo and the lads got punished for their misses and don’t have the right for more mistakes anymore. However, they face in-form Italy, and Vladimir Petkovic’s side needs to step up and fight for vital points. A draw against the Dragons broke their winning streak that counted six games. Still, Switzerland hasn’t tasted a defeat on the previous eight occasions. Although their defense hasn’t been too tight, their forwards did well in the final third. The visitors want to continue their unbeatable run and fix their errors from the previous match. However, that is not going to be an easy task.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Italy has been struggling with Switzerland in their latest head-to-head games between 2006 and 2010. These two sides drew three times in a row, but those were friendlies. Although Switzerland could make an upset, Azzurri are full of confidence, and they should celebrate again at the home ground.
Goals Market Prediction
Italy has been perfect in the back recently, but Switzerland scored at least a goal in their last ten matches. They failed to find the back of the net only against Spain since October 2019. Italy could concede in this one, and we believe both sides should score in this encounter.

Turkey vs Wales
Senol Gunes’s side had an abysmal display in the EURO 2020 opener, as they suffered a 3:0 defeat against Italy. Turkey didn’t manage to threaten Azzurri, who easily claimed their first victory. Burak Yilmaz and the lads now need to go for a win in this one, but they should change their approach to the game. Turkey’s defensive mentality failed in Rome, and they don’t have time to waste in this one, as they desperately need all three points. The defeat against Italy was their first without losing, and they want to get back on the winning track. However, they need to put a much better display of they want to pick up something from this game.
Wales worked hard to earn a 1:1 draw against Switzerland, although it seemed they might lose heavily. However, their rivals wasted too many opportunities, and the Dragons knew how to punish that and pick up a vital point. This might be a crucial match for Gareth Bale and the lads, as they could get very close to the knockout stage if they win. Rob Page’s side hasn’t won three times in a row, though, scoring just once during that period. Wales should push hard to get some points from this encounter as well, as they will face Italy in the latest round.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
It is going to be a tight clash, as both sides could remain in the game for the knockout stage in case of a win. However, we believe this one might end in a draw, and these two sides should split points.
Goals Market Prediction
Turkey doesn’t seem to be in positive momentum, while Wales should try to provide another disciplined performance. We shouldn’t expect to see more than two goals in total in this clash.

Finland vs Russia
Suomi created the biggest surprise so far in the tournament by beating Denmark 1:0. However, that game was in the shadow of Christian Eriksen’s health problems, and it needed to be interrupted. Luckily, we haven’t witnessed the worst scenario, and hopefully, the Danish star will get well. Although Finland was in a defensive mode throughout the entire match, they managed to snatch vital three points. Markku Kanerva’s side was very disciplined, hoping that they can keep up at the same pace. That victory got them fighting for the knockout stage, which would be an excellent success for Teemu Pukki and the lads. If they get something from this one, Finland could make their dreams come true.
Russia had a disappointing start to the campaign, as they easily lost 3:0 against Belgium. Although they had a couple of good chances, the hosts were not even close to remaining undefeated. Stanislav Cherchesov’s side needs to be sharper in the final third, while the defense would also need an improvement. Sbornaya don’t want to end their campaign in the group stage, and the next two games are critical for them. Artem Dzyba and the lads failed to score for the first time in the last six games, and they want to get back on the scoring track. Russia needs to go for a win in this one to get back into the game for the eight-finals.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Russia hasn’t been so impressive, but they are still favorites in front of the home fans. Although Finland could be a tricky opponent, we believe the hosts will meet the expectations and deliver a victory.
Goals Market Prediction
Finland has been involved in pretty tight matches lately, and they won’t give up on their defensive style. Since Russia hasn’t been too productive as well, we believe this game will remain under a 2.5 margin.

Germany vs Hungary
After a disappointing start of the campaign and losing to France 1:0, the home side got back in the game with style. They beat Portugal 4:2, despite trailing 1:0 early in the match. Although their rivals scored two own goals, that doesn’t minify a very confident Elf performance. Joachim Low’s side looked much better than in the opening match, and the improvement seems promising. Robin Gosens shined against the defending champions, and Germany heads now to the easiest opponent on the paper. A point would be enough for them to progress further, but Germany will definitely seek a victory. It could build up their confidence even more, which could be very helpful in the upcoming challenges.
Hungary failed to a late defeat against Portugal in the opening round but showed their teeth against the World champions. Magyarok had a halftime lead and made France chase a draw, which they eventually succeeded. However, Marco Rossi’s side is clearly much happier with that point. Advancing from the group stage was never on the cards, but Hungary has the right to dream of continuing the campaign. However, Nemanja Nikolics and the lads need a perfect display, as only the victory could keep them in EURO 2020. Germany showed its vulnerability, and a 2:1 defeat against North Macedonia in the World Cup Quals showed that. It’s going to be a hell of a challenge, but Hungary won’t give up easily.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Germany wants to keep up where it left off and put another excellent display. They are firm favorites in this clash, and we believe the hosts will meet the expectations. We also think Germany could secure its advantage already at halftime.
Goals Market Prediction
The home side has been pretty insecure in the back lately, as they failed to keep the clean sheet five times in a row. Hungary will strive for another brave performance, and we wouldn’t be surprised if they managed to find the back of the opponent’s net.
