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.
Russia were disappointing against Belgium in their Euro 2020 Group B opener but are given another chance when entertaining Finland. The Eagle-owls will be looking to build on their victory over Denmark but obviously that result was achieved under a very dark cloud.
Belgium and Russia head into their Euro 2020 Group B clash as familiar foes and qualifying form certainly favours the Red Devils. They prevailed 3-1 when these teams met in Brussels at the start of that campaign and then 4-1 in Saint Petersburg in the penultimate round of games.
Poland are picked to see off Russia in Tuesday’s Euro 2020 warm-up match, judged on each teams’ exploits in international friendlies last year. The Eagles beat Finland 5-1 and Ukraine 2-0, whereas their opponents were edged out 2-1 by Sweden and only drew 0-0 with Moldova.
If good things come to those who wait then fans of international football are in for a treat this summer at Euro 2020.

Scotland’s hopes of qualifying for Euro 2020 via Group I are all but over, so they should be able to play with freedom when visiting Russia. Their hosts are on course to finish second after posting five wins and a loss to leaders Belgium from six fixtures, including last month’s 2-1 triumph at Hampden.
With the UEFA Nations League now on hold until the summer, the England national team can turn its attention to the qualifying campaign for Euro 2020.
