Who will England face in the Round of 16? Plus Group E and F Previews, What Happens Next? and more



After a thoroughly strange press conference for the third Fury-Wilder fight, the two fighters engage in the customary 'face off'– What Happens Next? – What Happens Next?

 

Which ‘Group of Death’ side will the Three Lions face?
Portugal v France, 8pm BBC1

Germany v Hungary, 8pm BBC2

With England winning their group, their ‘reward’ will now be an unenviable tie against the runner up of the ‘Group of Death’, albeit at home at Wembley. Group F has been exciting and fairly unpredictable so far, with huge underdogs Hungary still in with an outside chance after their impressive and spirited draw against World Champions France in matchday 2.

Germany will be full of confidence once more after their 4-2 demolition of reigning champions Portugal and will be hoping that France slip up against the Portuguese tonight – which would allow Germany to top the group if they beat Hungary, although the Hungarians will grab a knockout stage place themselves if they manage an unexpected victory over the Germans, and France beat Portugal.

The French should be fairly confident of grabbing a result after seeing the woeful Portuguese defending against Germany, and Kylian Mbappe and Karim Benzema will surely be fancying their chances of opening their Euros account tonight. For Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo will look to help his side through with a 4th goal at these Euros (while moving ever closer to the all-time International record). And remember – if you fancy backing a player to score first but they do score last, get your stake back (up to £25) with our First Goalscorer Insurance!

For Portugal v France, the last 4 H2Hs have only produced a maximum of 1 goal in each game, although Spreadex give the French the slight upper hand, with a pre-match France/Portugal Goal Supremacy Spread of 0.3-0.5, along with Total Goals at 2.25-2.45 and Total Goal Minutes at 114-124. On the fixed odds, France are available at 6/5, with Portugal at 14/5 and the Draw at 11/5. An attractive long-shot could be France To Win 3-0, Kylian Mbappe To Score First, which could signal Portugal’s exit from the competition on goal difference.

Who will grab qualification in Group E?

Slovakia v Spain, 5pm ITV1

Sweden v Poland, 5pm ITV4

After a hugely underwhelming two performances so far, Spain are in a potentially precarious position with only 2 points and currently the worst-ranked third-placed team in the tournament. However, everything may turn on its head – depending on Spain grabbing a win against Slovakia, and Sweden losing to Poland.

With today’s opponents Slovakia ahead of La Furia Roja on 3 points, they will know that avoiding defeat should be enough to grab qualification, even if Poland were to beat Sweden. However, were the Slovaks to beat Spain and Poland beat Sweden, top spot would still be attainable, with Spain the team to definitely crash out.

However, the permutations are similar for Spain, with them being able to top the group with a win in their match coupled with Sweden falling to a defeat against the Poles who will be led by star man Robert Lewandowski and hungry for the victory they need to qualify.

However, if the Poles do not manage to get the three points, and Spain grab the win over Slovakia, then the round of 16 lineup will be confirmed, with both Portugal and Ukraine claiming the final two positions that are still available.

For Slovakia v Spain, Spreadex are favouring the 2008 & 2012 EURO winners to bounce back and avoid a shock group stage exit, with a sizeable Spain/Slovakia Goal Supremacy Spread of 1.9-2.1 available, along with Total Goals at 2.85-3.05, and Total Goal Minutes at 145-155. On the fixed odds, Spain are odds-on at 2/9, with the Draw at 11/2 and Slovakia at long odds of 14/1.

For Sweden v Poland, Spreadex foresee an extremely even tie with the victory up for grabs, with an opening Goal Supremacy Spread of Sweden/Poland at -0.1 – 0.1, along with a Total Goals spread of 2.35-2.55 and a Total Goal Minutes spread of 120-130. On the fixed odds, Poland are slightly favoured to grab a crucial victory at 13/8, with Sweden at 17/10 to grab the win that would seal top spot in the group. The Draw can be backed at 5/2.

If you fancy backing Poland star man Lewandowski to lead his country through, you can back him to Score First and Last at 15/2.
