Curious to find out why we made these picks? Here’s how… **Switzerland vs Germany** Switzerland have made a strong start to EURO 2024, earning four points from their first two games, which puts them on the brink of qualifying for the knockout phase. They need just a point from this match to secure second place, a feat that seems achievable given their impressive record in their last 16 matches (W7, D8, L1). Murat Yakin’s men achieved their best-ever finish at the last EUROs, reaching the quarterfinals, defeating then-world champions France, and demonstrating their ability to compete against the top teams. Germany have had the ideal start to this tournament, thrashing Scotland 5-1 before sealing a 2-0 win over Hungary to secure a spot in the knockout stages with a game to spare. This contest should continue the tournament’s goal fest, as four of the last five H2Hs featured at least four goals scored (GER: W2, D2, L1). The hosts’ blend of youth and experience, with players like Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala has paid off on home soil, where they’re unbeaten in their last five games (W4, D1). **Verdict: The outcome of this game will depend on how many changes Julian Nagelsmann makes to his Germany side, but Switzerland certainly have the ability to cause serious problems. Our bet prediction for this one is a narrow win for the Swiss.**
**Albania vs Spain** Spain are looking scary, aren’t they? They got maximum points from their opening two matches, keeping clean sheets in both games and can guarantee top spot with 1 point from their final group game against Albania. La Roja beat Italy 1-0 in a dominant display, which was not reflected in the scoreline, to become the second team into the last-16 after hosts Germany. Meanwhile, Albania are fighting for survival and must beat Spain to keep their qualification hopes alive as one of the best third-placed teams. Although they have just one point from two games, their 2-2 draw against Croatia showed a team willing to take risks and push forward. **Verdict: Albania have never beaten Spain. 8 defeats in 8 previous meetings tells the tale, and despite De la Fuente potentially picking a changed side, our bet of the day is for that losing trend to continue for the underdogs.**
**Croatia vs Italy** Croatia and Italy face off in a winner-takes-all clash to settle Group B. Despite a lackluster performance in their 1-0 defeat to Spain, Italy remains in a strong position to advance to the EURO 2024 knockout stages, needing only to match Albania’s result against Spain to secure a last-16 spot. In contrast, Croatia has been disappointing, struggling in their opening matches. They trailed 3-0 against Spain by halftime and conceded an injury-time equalizer against Albania, leaving them with just one point and needing a win against Italy to progress. I Interestingly, Italy have never won against Croatia in their eight previous meetings, dating back to 1994. Will they finally buck this trend, or will this be the game where Luka Modric and company finally show up at the party, aided by history? **Verdict: Despite their underwhelming performances at EURO 2024 so far, Croatia gave Spain a run for their money in the second half of their opener. Italy looked tired in that defeat to Spain, and never looked like scoring at any point. With history on Croatia’s side, we are backing them to win here.**
**France vs Poland** World Cup runners-up France will be looking to secure their spot in the Euro 2024 knockout stages as they face Poland in their final group game. Les Bleus have only failed to advance from the group stages once in their previous six European Championship appearances, finishing last in a group featuring Italy, the Netherlands, and Romania in 2008. Although their 1-0 win over Austria in the opener was marred by Kylian Mbappe’s facial injury, which makes him doubtful for this game, head coach Didier Deschamps can take positives from the performances of Jules Kounde and the excellent N’Golo Kante. Poland began their tournament with a 2-1 loss to the Netherlands, despite defending resolutely for large parts. Their real struggle was in attack, as they failed to click without the injured Robert Lewandowski. While the Poles might be boosted by his potential return to the starting XI, Poland has never beaten France in their eight previous meetings (L5, D3) and are unlikely to break that trend here. **Verdict: Frace should have too much for Poland, even without Kylian Mbappe. Ousmane Dembele and Antoine Griezmann should have enough to land our full time prediction.**
**Denmark vs Serbia** Denmark and Serbia face off in their final Group C match at EURO 2024, both vying for a spot in the last 16. Denmark’s impressive display against England earned them a point, leaving them second in the group with back-to-back draws. A win in Munich will guarantee their place in the knockout stages. Meanwhile, Serbia’s tournament hopes are still alive, despite only managing one point from their first two matches. That point came in stoppage time against Slovenia, and they now prepare for a must-win clash against Denmark. With four points likely to be enough to secure a spot as one of the best third-placed teams, Serbia’s fate is still in their hands. **Verdict: Denmark will be in confident mood after their performance against England, and they can get the job done here, even if the likes of Aleksandar Mitrovic, Dusan Vlahovic and Luka Jovic off the bench will ensure Serbia carry a real threat.**
**England vs Slovenia** England need a point to reach the Euro 2024 knockout stages, but they must play better than they have in the first two games to stand any chance of going far in Germany. After a narrow win over Serbia and a dismal draw with Denmark, who were unfortunate not to win, the Three Lions sit top of Group C with four points. Gareth Southgate’s men need a win here to finish top of the group and guarantee a favorable draw in the next round, and defeat here could be disastrous. Slovenia have lost just once in their last 10 games (W5, D4), and cannot be underestimated. Head coach Matjaz Kek’s defensive 4-4-2 setup has made them resilient, but their lack of goal-scoring threat at EURO 2024 has been a weakness. While they need a win to guarantee qualification, a draw would give them a slim chance of advancing as one of the best third-placed teams, provided the other group game ends in a draw. **Verdict: On paper England, should have no trouble winning this one. And while we expect Slovenia to be stubborn opponents, our bet prediction here is a narrow win for the Three Lions.**
**Ukraine vs Belgium** Ukraine will face Belgium in their final Group E match at UEFA EURO 2024. After a disappointing 3-0 loss to Slovakia in their opener, head coach Serhiy Rebrov vowed that his team would put on a much-improved performance, and they duly delivered with a 2-1 win against Slovakia. Ukraine finished on 14 points in EURO 2024 qualifiers, despite being drawn against both Euro 2020 finalists, Italy and England, and they will fancy their chances of bouncing back here. Belgium, meanwhile, are in a precarious position after a lackluster opening loss to Slovakia, which did little to justify their status as one of the tournament favorites. With a talented squad featuring Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, Leandro Trossard, and Jeremy Doku, anything less than qualification from this group would be a disaster. This encounter marks the first-ever meeting between the two nations, and we should be in for a thriller. **Verdict: Belgium have been disappointing on the international stage in recent years, but that defeat to Slovakia should serve as a wake-up call, and our bet prediction is a win for the Red Devils.**
**Georgia vs Portugal** The final match of the EURO 2024 group stage features underdogs Georgia against 2016 champions Portugal. Georgia began their campaign with a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Turkey, despite a promising performance that saw them generate an xG of 2.03 and attempt 15 shots to Turkey’s 22. However, their inexperience and lack of firepower led to a second-half collapse. Portugal came from behind to defeat the Czech Republic in their opener, but only sparked to life late in the second half as they sought to avoid defeat. Roberto Martinez’s team delivered a disjointed performance and will need to improve to progress far in Germany. Cristiano Ronaldo failed to get on the scoresheet, and Rafael Leao had a game to forget. Still, A Selecao will hope to have 6 points by the time this game comes around, and even with a rotated squad, they will have too much for Georgia. **Verdict: This should be a straightforward win for Portugal, who will be eager to finish top of the group to ensure an easier round of 16 clash. Back Ronaldo and company for the best odds.**
