France lost to Portugal in the final of Euro 2016 on home turf but can gain some revenge by knocking the Navigators out of this tournament. Both teams suffered frustrating results in the second round of Euro 2020 Group F games but Les Bleus look better placed to bounce back.
Spain are making hard work of getting through Euro 2020 Group E but it seems almost unthinkable that they will not progress by beating Slovakia. La Roja have dominated both games played so far but the lack of a killer instinct up front has cost them dear in two draws.
Sweden only need a draw to make sure of a top-two finish from Euro 2020 Group E and we reckon they can grind out that result versus Poland in Saint Petersburg. Janne Andersson’s well-drilled side are unbeaten in seven matches this year, conceding just one goal in those contests.
England failed to sparkle against Scotland and must now beat Czech Republic to progress as Group D winners at Euro 2020. The Three Lions did thrash the same opponents 5-0 at Wembley during qualifying, though, so they are expected to come out on top in London.
Croatia and Scotland both need to go all out for victory to qualify from Euro 2020 Group D and that should make for an interesting contest. The World Cup runners-up have the edge in class, but the Tartan Army will be hoping to roar their team on to the knockout rounds at Hampden.
Denmark deserve great credit for their performance in defeat versus Belgium and can hopefully still qualify from Group B by beating Russia. A lively atmosphere is assured again at Parken Stadium in Copenhagen and that spells trouble for Stanislav Cherchesov’s poor travellers.
Belgium haven’t been totally convincing so far at Euro 2020 but their big guns are beginning to fire and that looks ominous for next opponents Finland. The Finns have shown plenty of spirit and resolve but, as expected, ultimately look in a little too deep at this level.
Netherlands are expected to complete a hat-trick of wins in Euro 2020 Group C by brushing aside pointless North Macedonia in Amsterdam. Frank de Boer may take this opportunity to rest a few players but their opponents have been very open at the back in two defeats so far.
The conspiracy theorists will be out in force when Ukraine and Austria meet in the final round of Euro 2020 Group C fixtures. A draw would see the blue and yellows advance as runners-up behind Netherlands and should also be enough for Das Team to qualify as one of the best third-placed teams.
Italy look like serious contenders for Euro 2020 after starting their campaign with impressive victories. Roberto Mancini’s team have brushed aside Turkey and Switzerland 3-0 to become the first team to reach the last 16, while Wales have collected four points from six.
Switzerland and Turkey are trailing in Euro 2020 Group A and both teams need to go for a win in Baku to have any chance of advancing. On the evidence seen so far in this tournament, the Rossocrociati are in better form and have to be rated a percentage pick to prevail.
The pressure is on Germany to chase victory when facing Portugal in Euro 2020 Group F and that could play into the hands of the holders. Die Mannschaft looked vulnerable on the break versus France and their next opponents are not short of counter-attacking pace either.
France justified their position as Euro 2020 favourites with an opening win over Germany, whereas Hungary look in too deep after losing to Portugal. Les Bleus will now be expected to control proceedings when these teams meet despite another big crowd at Puskas Arena.
Spain let favourite backers down when drawing with Sweden but did enough in general play to make them worth sticking with versus Poland. The Eagles have it all to do in Euro 2020 Group E after suffering a surprise loss to Slovakia and look there for the taking in Seville.
