Ecuador and Peru have been evenly matched in meetings over the past few years but La Tri have taken a stronger squad to Copa America. Los Incas are without record goalscorer Paolo Guerrero, second-top marksman Jefferson Farfan and Edison Flores in their front ranks.
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.
Argentina and Paraguay have both made a good start to their Copa America Group A campaigns and have a recent history of close encounters. November’s draw in a Buenos Aires World Cup qualifier followed a stalemate in this tournament two years ago.
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.
England look to be holding all the aces when entertaining Scotland in the second round of Euro 2020 Group D fixtures at Wembley. The Three Lions kicked off with a win over Croatia, whereas their arch-rivals have a mountain to climb after losing to Czech Republic.
