class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With both nations needing victory to extend their Euro 2020 campaign into the knockout stages, Goal is backing an open Group D clash at Hampden Park

Scotland are aiming to reach the knockout stages of the European Championship when they host Croatia at Hampden Park in Group D of Euro 2020.

Steve Clarke’s men claimed a famous draw against England last week but, having lost their opening match, only victory will do on Tuesday night if they are to have any chance of qualifying for the last 16.

Croatia vs Scotland Latest Odds

However, Betfair Sportsbook make them 19/10 (2.90) outsiders to take all three points and book their place in the next round as either group runners-up or in third place.

Croatia have also only taken a single point from their first two games and are 13/10 (2.30) favourites to claim the victory needed to move into the knockouts.

A draw would end Euro 2020 for both nations and the bookmaker offer that particular result at 11/4 (3.75).

Croatia vs Scotland Team News

Full-back Borna Barisic has been injured for Croatia’s first two games but could be available for this one after rejoining training, whilst Nikola Vlasic is also in contention.

Billy Gilmour has tested positive for Covid-19 and has to self-isolate for 10 days so will miss this clash, whilst Clarke may choose to give Kevin Nisbet a start as Scotland look to break their duck in front of goal.

Croatia vs Scotland Preview

Scotland are the only team yet to score in Euro 2020 but are certainly unfortunate to have got to this point without finding the net, having had 30 shots in the tournament – more than any other side to have only played twice.

With victory a requirement for Clarke’s men, they will no doubt continue to be industrious against a Croatia side that has conceded in both their games so far and whose only clean sheets in their last 18 games have come against Malta and Cyprus.

However, whilst Zlatko Dalic’s side have been poor at the back in recent years, they have at least enjoyed success going forward with strikes in 15 of those 18 outings, including last Friday against the Czech Republic.

Croatia vs Scotland Tips and Predictions

Neither team can afford to sit back and invite pressure in a must-win game and so Betfair Sportsbook’s price of 3/4 (1.75) on both teams to score looks the way to go for this crucial Euro 2020 group fixture.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With Kane struggling to find his feet at Euro 2020, Al Hain-Cole thinks the Three Lions' only scorer so far offers strong value to hit the net again

After drawing blanks in his first two Euro 2020 matches, Harry Kane will be determined to get off the mark against the Czech Republic on Tuesday.

The Three Lions captain has looked well below his best so far, leading the line for a team that has scored just a single goal across two games against Croatia and Scotland.

Nevertheless, the Tottenham striker is bet365’s 3/1 (4.00) favourite to open the scoring at Wembley, with Gareth Southgate having confirmed that he will be selected to start the match.

Those odds look fairly unappealing for a striker that has hit the net just twice in his last 11 appearances for the national team, as do even money (2.00) odds on him firing anytime.

Instead, Raheem Sterling looks a good shout at 9/4 (3.25) anytime given he has scored the team’s only goal of the competition so far, hitting the winner in the 1-0 opening victory over Croatia.

The Manchester City man has scored 14 times in his last 18 appearances for England, and hit a hat-trick against the Czechs in a 5-0 win at Wembley in qualification for this competition.

Having come off the bench to replace Kane in the second half against Scotland, Marcus Rashford is another strong anytime bet at 21/10 (3.10) considering he has found the net in five of his last eight international appearances.

In contrast to his opposite number, Jaroslav Silhavy will have absolutely no question marks over the man leading the line for his team.

Patrik Schick has made an explosive start to this competition, leading the scoring charts alongside Cristiano Ronaldo after the opening two group games with three goals to his name.

The Bayer Leverkusen striker has been on the scoresheet nine times in his last 12 appearances for the national team and looks a tempting 17/2 (9.50) first goalscorer and 3/1 (4.00) anytime bet on current form.

Schick’s importance to the team is underlined by the lack of other prolific forwards in the squad, although Tomas Soucek could be a decent outside bet at 9/2 (5.50) given his threat from midfield and rising star Adam Hlozek is a 9/2 (5.50) to provide a wild card from the bench.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Bet Builder allows users to put multiple selections from the same game into the same bet and Goal is backing the Villa attacker to shine at Wembley

The top spot in Group D is up for grabs when England and Czech Republic face off at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday night in Euro 2020.

Both nations sit on four points after two matches and the Czechs’ superior goal difference means they only need a draw to enter the last-16 as group winners, with Gareth Southgate’s side needing victory to finish first.

Betfair Sportsbook make Jiroslav Silhavy’s men 13/2 (7.50) to take all three points, with the Three Lions just 4/7 (1.57), but Goal has created a 75/1 (76.0) bet using the firm’s Bet Builder.

Betfair Sportsbook’s Bet Builder allows users to put multiple selections from the same game into the same bet and this 75/1 (76.0) consists of: Jack Grealish to score, Kalvin Phillips & Tomas Soucek to be booked.

After being an unused substitute against Croatia, Grealish came off the bench in the 0-0 draw with Scotland and was arguably one of England’s brighter sparks despite playing only 27 minutes.

The Aston Villa attacker enjoyed a strong Premier League season with six strikes in 24 starts, and the Three Lions faithful will be hoping he offers a new dimension to the attack after a pair of insipid performances from Southgate’s men at Euro 2020.

Kalvin Phillips was one of England’s best players against Croatia but what is remarkable is that he has not yet picked up a booking.

His five fouls at the tournament are more than any other player for his country and, having been shown the yellow card 10 times for Leeds United in the Premier League last season, he is a prime candidate to find his name in the referee’s book on Tuesday.

Finally, Czech Republic have actually conceded the second-fewest fouls in Euro 2020 with just 18 to their name, and midfielder Tomas Soucek is responsible for three of those.

Almost impressively, the West Ham midfielder has been booked in 10 of his 37 appearances for his country and also picked up seven in the Premier League during the 2021-21 campaign.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>La Roja need a victory to guarantee their place in the last-16 of Euro 2020 and Goal is backing their run of low-scoring matches to continue

Spain face Slovakia in a must-win game in Group E of Euro 2020 on Wednesday afternoon at Estadio La Cartuja.

Two draws from their opening two matches have left La Roja needing a win to secure their spot in the knockout stages, although a draw will also see them progress provided Poland do not beat Sweden in the other match.

Slovakia are currently ahead of Spain in the standings, having won their first game against Poland, and know that avoiding defeat is enough to qualify for the last-16.

Slovakia vs Spain Latest Odds

These two sides last met in qualifying for Euro 2016, with Spain recording a 2-0 win on home soil and losing 2-1 when they visited Slovakia.

Stefan Tarkovic’s side are huge outsiders this week, though, priced at 14/1 (15.00) by bet365 to claim three points.

La Roja, meanwhile, can be backed at 1/5 (1.20) with the draw at 11/2 (6.50).

Slovakia vs Spain Team News

Captain Sergio Busquets is available again following his positive coronavirus test that ruled him out of the early stages of the tournament, whilst Luis Enrique may opt to start Thiago and Chelsea’s Champions League winning defender Cesar Azpilicueta.

Slovakia remain without injured Ivan Schranz, while Denis Vavro is still unavailable after his positive coronavirus test. 

Slovakia vs Spain Preview

Spain continue to struggle for a clinical edge in the final third, having created plenty of chances in their two matches but scoring just one goal at the tournament so far.

They will need to improve if they wish to progress and they should be able to take a step up against Slovakia, the lowest-ranked team in the group who have conceded in both of their games.

If La Roja continue to create promising openings then it is expected that goals will follow and they can claim the win they need, although opposing them to run wild make plenty of sense.

Five of Spain’s last seven matches at major competitions have seen fewer  than three goals scored and there could be value in backing that run to continue. 

Slovakia vs Spain Tips and Predictions

Spain to win and under 3.5 goals is priced at 5/6 (1.83) and looks like a logical option for a game Luis Enrique’s men must win, while under 2.5 goals is offered at 11/10 (2.10).

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having frustrated both Portugal and France for large periods of their games, Al Hain-Cole is backing Rossi's men to hold strong against Die Mannschaft

Germany will be confident of sealing their place in the Euro 2020 knockout stages when they welcome Hungary to the Allianz Arena on Wednesday.

Joachim Low’s men bounced back from their opening defeat to France with a thrilling 4-2 victory over Portugal last time out, meaning three points here would guarantee them a place in the last-16.

Germany vs Hungary Latest Odds

Having come out on top in both of the last two meetings against this opposition, they are clear 1/6 (1.17) favourites with bet365 to move into the next round with a win in Munich.

The Magyars picked up a creditable point against world champions France last time out but are 14/1 (15.00) outsiders to pull off a shock victory here and priced at 13/2 (7.50) to play out another impressive stalemate here.

Germany vs Hungary Team News

Thomas Muller is unlikely to feature after suffering a knee injury against Portugal, while Mats Hummels, Klostermann and Ilkay Gundogan will also face fitness tests after missing training on Monday.

Adam Szalai will need to be assessed after coming off in the first half against France following a knock to the head.

Germany vs Hungary Preview

While Germant  will be feeling confident of qualifying with a victory in front of their own fans following an exciting performance against Portugal, evidence suggests they are unlikely to find it too easy.

Indeed, Marco Rossi’s team has exceeded expectations in the so-called ‘Group of Death’ so far, holding out until the 84th minute in the opening defeat to Portugal before claiming a draw against France in a match they led at half-time.

Although many would point to home advantage as a major factor in those two games in Budapest, they actually came into this tournament with five wins and no defeats to their name in six away matches.

Germany vs Hungary Tips and Predictions

Considering Hungary have their own hopes of reaching the knockout stages, odds of 20/21 (1.95) seem fair on them making life difficult for Germany and ensuring the majority of goals aren’t scored until the second half.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Wednesday sees the group stages of Euro 2020 draw to a close with the highest profile game of the tournament so far and Goal is backing a tight clash

Defending champions Portugal face World Cup holders France in Budapest with top spot in Euro 2020 Group F yet to be decided.

Didier Deschamps’ side overcame Germany 1-0 in their opening game before being held to a shock 1-1 draw by Hungary to leave them on four points, meaning they could finish anywhere in the top-three.

The Portuguese, meanwhile, followed up their 3-0 win over Hungary with a 4-2 defeat against Germany to put Fernando Santos’ men in a precarious position on three points. 

Portugal vs France Latest Odds

These two sides met in the UEFA Nations League last October when they played out a 0-0 draw in Paris, before Les Bleus claimed a 1-0 win in Lisbon a month later.

The French are favourites to win on Wednesday at 5/4 (2.25) with bet36, while a victory for Portugal can be backed at 14/5 (3.80) and the draw at 19/10 (2.90).

Portugal vs France Team News

Ousmane Dembele has been ruled out of the rest of the tournament after the injury-prone Barcelona forward suffered a muscle problem.

Portugal are likely to still be without injured pair Joao Felix and Nuno Mendes.

Portugal vs France Preview

These were two of the most-fancied sides before the tournament began, yet neither has hit top gear in the two matches they have played in Group F.

Portugal’s 4-2 loss to Germany was the first time the team had conceded four times in seven years, while France were far from at their best in their 1-0 win over Die Mannschaft.

Both teams will be keen to avoid defeat, especially the 2016 European champions as they will be eliminated from the tournament if they lose and a buoyant Hungary beat Germany.

Therefore, Wednesday night’s match could be another cagey encounter between two nations who know each other well and who have generally cancelled each other out in recent games.

Portugal vs France Tips and Predictions

Under 1.5 goals has paid out in the last four meetings between these two countries and a repeat is offered at 2/1 (3.00).

Both teams to score ‘no’ and under 2.5 goals should also appeal at 21/20 (2.05).
