class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Andersson's men have been in excellent form this calendar year and Goal is backing them to book their place in the quarter-finals of Euro 2020

Sweden face Ukraine at Hampden Park on Tuesday evening in what is the final game of the last-16 at Euro 2020.

The Scandinavian nation are favourites to progress having finished top of their group ahead of Spain, although Ukraine won the most recent meeting between these sides at the European championships in 2012.

Sweden vs Ukraine Latest Odds

Janne Andersson’s men are unbeaten in 2021, having won seven and draw one of the eight matches they have contested this year, and bet365 offer Sweden at 11/8 (2.38) to win in 90 minutes and at 4/6 (1.66) to progress via any means.

Andriy Shevchenko scored both goals in a 2-1 win for Ukraine when these sides last met and the former AC Milan striker in now in charge of the national side.

Ukraine are priced at 9/4 (3.25) to win without extra time and at 11/10 (2.10) to qualify, whilst the draw can be backed at 21/10 (3.10) .

Sweden vs Ukraine Team News

Sweden have a fully fit squad heading into the game, with the main selection issue being who will accompany Alexander Isak up front.

Ukraine, for their part, have injury doubts over Denys Popov and Oleksandr Zubkov.

Sweden vs Ukraine Preview

Although not expected to win Euro 2020, Sweden have been one of the most entertaining sides of the calendar year with goals in nine of their last 10 matches in all competitions – drawing their only blank in their opening match of this tournament against Spain.

Even though Andersson’s men had little possession against La Roja they still managed to create some excellent chances to score and they have shown this year they have plenty of firepower.

Alexander Isak has been in excellent form despite not scoring, with the Real Sociedad forward attracting plenty of admirers for his all-round play.

Ukraine, meanwhile, came into the competition on a six-match unbeaten run which included a 1-1 draw in World Cup qualifying against France, but Shevchenko’s men have already lost twice at Euro 2020 and conceded in all three group games.

Indeed, Ukraine’s only clean sheets in their last 12 fixtures have come against Northern Ireland and Cyprus and they could struggle once more to keep out what looks like a dangerous Swedish attack.

Sweden vs Ukraine Tips and Predictions 

The price of 11/8 (2.38) for Sweden to win is certainly big enough for consideration while combining this selection with Sweden to score over 1.5 goals sees the odds rise to a healthy 12/5 (3.40) .

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>No team has been crowned European champions on more occasions than La Roja and Goal is backing the three-time winners in their Euro 2020 quarter-final

Switzerland’s reward for spectacularly knocking out France in the last 16 of Euro 2020 is a quarter-final clash with Spain in St Petersburg on Friday.

Vladimir Petkovic’s side are clear outsiders against the European champions from 1964, 2008 and 2012, yet having prevailed against the current World Cup holders, the Swiss will fear no side in the competition.

Switzerland vs Spain latest odds

Spain are offered at 4/6 (1.66) with bet365 to win in 90 minutes and at 1/3 (1.33) to qualify.

The Swiss can be backed at 9/2 (5.50) to win without extra time and at 9/4 (3.25) to progress to their first ever semi-final at a major tournament.

Switzerland vs Spain team news

Switzerland will be without Granit Xhaka who is suspended following his yellow card during the victory over France.

Spain have no injury concerns ahead of the clash, with Luis Enrique able to call upon all 24 members of his squad.

Switzerland vs Spain preview

Few would have had the Swiss down as quarter-finalists before the tournament started and their historic triumph against the overwhelming favourites for the trophy is one of the biggest shocks in recent memory.

Indeed, progress to the last eight looked even more unlikely after Switzerland were beaten 3-0 by Italy in their second group game, and defensively Vladimir Petkovic’s men have been far from solid.

Yet to keep a clean sheet in the competition, the Swiss on Friday face a Spain side that have really clicked in the final third with six different Spaniards getting their names on the scoresheet in the last two matches.

Luis Enrique’s men have been steadily improving and, after stuttering to two draws in their opening two matches, La Roja have netted five goals in each of their last two games.

Having conceded three times to both Italy and France, there could be some interest in backing Switzerland to ship some more goals in Russia.

Switzerland vs Spain tips & predictions

Spain can be backed at 5/6 (1.83) to score over 1.5 goals which looks like an appealing option, while combining this with a victory for La Roja sees the odds rise to 23/20 (2.15).

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Allianz Arena hosts the most high-profile game in the quarter-finals of Euro 2020 and there should be goals at both ends in Munich on Friday

Click Here: Cheap AFL Guernsey

Belgium face Italy in Munich on Friday evening in the quarter-finals of Euro 2020 in a tie which sees two of the most in-form sides left in the tournament pitted against one another.

Roberto Mancini’s men suffered a scare in the last 16 against Austria who took them to extra time and ended the Azzurri’s 11-match run of clean sheets, yet Italy remain unbeaten since September 2018.

The Red Devils meanwhile remain the only side in the competition to have won all of their matches inside 90 minutes with Roberto Martinez’s team knocking out holders Portugal in the previous round. 

Belgium vs Italy latest odds

Belgium are outsiders for the clash at the Allianz Arena, with bet365 pricing them at 12/5 (3.40) to win in 90 minutes, despite the fact that they are the top-ranked team in the world.

The side that finished third at the last World Cup are available at 11/10 (2.10) to make it through to the semi-finals while Italy are offered at 4/6 (1.66) to qualify.

Mancini’s men can be backed at 13/10 (2.30) to win without extra time, with the draw at 21/10 (3.10).

Belgium vs Italy team news

Belgium could be missing two of their biggest stars, with Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne and Real Madrid’s Eden Hazard both picking up injuries in the 1-0 win over Portugal.

Roberto Martinez, however, stressed that neither problem was too serious and has not ruled them out of featuring at some point on Friday.

Italy have no major injury concerns ahead of the clash in Bavaria.

Belgium vs Italy preview

Both teams have been excellent defensively in the tournament, recording three clean sheets from their respective four matches played and the expectation is for both defences to keep things tight once more. 

However, both sides also boast extremely impressive scoring records, particularly Belgium, who have netted in 34 consecutive games. 

The Italians for their part have netted in 27 of their last 28 matches in all competitions, and there could be some value in backing both of these strong outfits to find the back of the net. 

Five different Italian players have scored in this tournament, while four Belgians have got their names on the score sheet, showing they have various attacking threats to heighten the appeal of backing a game with goals. 

Belgium vs Italy tips & predictions 

Both teams to score is priced at evens (2.00) which looks like an attractive price given how in-form the two sides have been in the final third.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Both teams have been in strong scoring form at Euro 2020 and Goal is backing their quarter-final in Azerbaijan's Olympic Stadium to be an open clash

Denmark and Czech Republic meet in Baku on Saturday afternoon in the quarter-finals of Euro 2020, with Kasper Hjulmand’s side clear favourites to make it through to the last four.

The Danes recovered from losing their opening two matches by recording 4-1 and 4-0 wins over Russia and Wales, respectively, while the Czechs pulled off a shock in the last 16 to beat the Netherlands by a 2-0 scoreline.

Czech Republic vs Denmark Latest Odds

The 1992 European champions are offered at 11/10 (2.10) to win in 90 minutes with bet365 and at 53/100 (1.53) to reach the last four.

Czech Republic meanwhile can be backed at 14/5 (3.80) to claim a victory without extra time and at 11/8 (2.37) to make the semi-finals.

The draw is priced at 11/5 (3.20). 

Czech Republic vs Denmark Team News

The Czechs have no injury concerns heading into the clash and welcome back Slavia Prague defender Jan Boril who started all three group games but missed the last-16 clash with the Netherlands through suspension.

The Danes are likely to welcome back Daniel Wass and Yussuf Poulsen who missed the win over Wales, while defender Simon Kjaer should also be available despite an injury scare in the round of 16.

Czech Republic vs Denmark Preview

There is little pressure on either side having already surpassed pre-tournament expectations in reaching the last eight.

Denmark are understandably favourites given the greater quality they have in their squad although the Czechs have shown themselves to be a dangerous side and, in Patrik Schick, they boast one of the competition’s top scorers.

The Bayer Leverkusen forward has netted four times, with Czech Republic scoring in three of their four matches.

Denmark, for their part, have scored in their last three games with the only time they failed to find the back of the net coming in their traumatic opener against Finland which saw Christian Eriksen’s terrifying collapse.

With eight goals in their last two matches the Danes will be confident of netting once more, while the Czechs have scored in eight of their last 11 games in all competitions. 

Czech Republic vs Denmark Tips & Predictions

Both teams to score is priced at evens (2.00) and looks like an appealing selection and a price which offers value.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having beaten Germany to emotional scenes, Al Hain-Cole expects the Three Lions to ease to a much more straightforward victory over Shevchenko's men

After the euphoria of overcoming Germany, England must now turn their attention to Saturday’s Euro 2020 quarter-final against Ukraine.

The mood in the Three Lions camp is high after recording a first ever knockout stage victory over their old rivals, running out 2-0 winners in front of a passionate home crowd at Wembley.

Ukraine vs England latest odds

England are clear 2/5 (1.40) favourites with bet365 to remain on course for glory by coming out on top in Rome.

However, Andriy Shevchenko’s men have only lost one of the last four meetings between the sides and are available at 15/2 (8.50) to cause an upset with a win at the Stadio Olimpico.

The two most recent encounters between this duo have both resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 7/2 (4.50) on them taking this game into extra time after another deadlocked 90 minutes.

Ukraine vs England team news

Artem Besedin has been ruled out for six months due to the knee injury caused by Markus Danielsson’s red-card tackle against Sweden, while Andriy Yarmolenko will be assessed after hobbling off in that clash and Oleksandr Zubkov is also doubtful.

Mason Mount will be hoping to return to the line-up after only returning from Covid-19 isolation on the day of the Germany game, although Declan Rice and Kieran Trippier may not be risked after struggling for fitness towards the end of that game.

Ukraine vs England preview

While fans could be forgiven for getting carried away following the Germany win and given the team’s potential opponents between now and the final, Gareth Southgate is unlikely to take anything for granted.

Having remained true to his cautious approach throughout the tournament, he has been rewarded with steady progress to the last eight with four clean sheets in a row.

This record is unlikely to be put under too much pressure by Ukraine, who are expected to set up with a similarly defensive line-up to the one that ground out that attritional extra-time victory over the Swedes.

Ukraine vs England tips & predictions

All in all, even odds (2.00) seem too good to pass up on England moving one step closer to their dream with a straightforward victory and seventh consecutive clean sheet against Ukraine.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>There will be plenty of goalscoring threats on display in the first semi-final of Euro 2020 and Goal is backing Manchester City's forward to net

Italy face Spain at Wembley on Tuesday evening for a place in the final of Euro 2020 and the Italians will be aiming to keep up their strong scoring record.

Roberto Mancini’s side have netted in 28 of their last 29 matches in all competitions and, while the Azzurri may lack the kind of star striker they have boasted in the past, there are plenty of goal threats in this Italy side.

Spain, for their part, have already scored as many goals as when they won this tournament in 2012, although there remain question marks over the efficiency of Luis Enrique’s team in the final third.

Italy vs Spain Latest Goalscorers Odds

Six different Italians have got their names on the scoresheet so far at Euro 2020 and the shortest priced to do so on Tuesday evening is Ciro Immobile.

The Lazio striker is priced at 7/4 (2.75) with bet365 to score his third goal of the tournament and at 5/1 (6.00) to break the deadlock.

Alvaro Morata comes next in the betting with La Roja’s Juventus forward available at 2/1 (3.00) to raise his tournament tally to three, while Andrea Belotti is offered at 11/5 (3.20) in the anytime scorer market.

Villarreal’s Gerard Moreno is yet to net the tournament and is priced at 12/5 (3.40) while Lorenzo Insigne who scored what proved to be the winner against Belgium is on offer at 13/5 (3.60) to score again. 

Italy vs Spain Goalscorers Tips & Predictions

Manchester City forward Ferran Torres is Spain’s joint-top scorer with two strikes and boasts an excellent record with his national team.

The former Valencia man has netted eight times in 16 appearances for La Roja and is priced at a healthy looking 11/4 (3.75) to find the back of the net again.

Elsewhere, Atalanta midfielder Matteo Pessina has also scored twice in the competition, and boasts four goals in eight games for Italy, and is priced at the attractive odds of 11/2 (6.50) to score again.

Whether or not Pessina starts remains to be seen, while Torres has an excellent chance of playing from the off, making him a more appealing selection of the two.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Wembley Stadium hosts what should be a high-quality and entertaining semi-final between two of the continent's most successful teams historically

Two of the most successful teams in the history of European football meet at Wembley on Tuesday evening in the semi-final of Euro 2020 as Italy take on Spain.

The Azzurri are four-time world champions and have been on an exceptional run under Roberto Mancini, racking up a 32-match unbeaten sequence, a record which firmly situates them as favourites to make the final.

La Roja, for their part, have won this tournament a record three times and, after a slow start, Luis Enrique’s men have picked up momentum as well as confidence.

Italy vs Spain Latest Odds

The Italians are priced at 6/4 (2.50) with bet365 to win in 90 minutes and at 7/10 (1.70) to make the final.

Spain can be backed at 21/20 (2.05) to qualify and at 2/1 (3.00) to win without extra time.

The draw is priced at 21/10 (3.10). 

Italy vs Spain Team News

Leonardo Spinazzola picked up a serious injury against Belgium in the last 16 which has ruled him out of any further involvement for Italy in the tournament.

Spain, meanwhile, will see if Pablo Sarabia has fully recovered from the problem which forced him off at half-time against Switzerland.

These two sides meet for the third consecutive time at the European Championship, with Spain triumphing 4-0 in the final of 2012, only for Italy to exact revenge five years ago by knocking them out of the last 16 with a 2-0 victory.

Of the two teams, Italy seem the more assured and have played with more genuine confidence and solidity, yet Spain have shown flashes of brilliance in the competition.

The knockout stages of Euro 2020 have been filled with goals and excitement and, in the quarter-finals, seven of the eight teams managed to find the back of the net.

This should be another entertaining encounter between two sides who each have a clear identity and backing them both to score makes sense. 

Italy vs Spain Tips & Predictions

Both teams to score is priced at 5/6 (1.83) and should attract plenty of attention, while backing the run of early goals in the competition to continue should also appeal.

Seven of the last nine games at Euro 2020 have seen a goal scored before minute 32 and a repeat is offered at 5/6 (1.83).

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>While Kane seems to be finding form at the vital time, Al Hain-Cole is backing Sterling to maintain his crucial role for the Three Lions at Wembley

Click Here: Men football kit sets

After their rampant 4-0 victory over Ukraine, England will be in confident spirits when they take on Denmark at Wembley in Wednesday’s Euro 2020 semi-final.

The Three Lions scored just twice in their three group matches but have now hit the net six times in two knockout stage wins over Germany and Andriy Shevchenko’s team.

Harry Kane was responsible for three of those six goals and looks a strong bet at 3/1 (4.00) with bet365 to open the scoring for the second match in succession.

Indeed, odds of 21/10 (2.05) seem like solid value on an in-form Kane scoring anytime as he chases a Golden Boot for the second major tournament in a row.

However, Raheem Sterling has been arguably the key player for Gareth Southgate’s men so far, getting on target in three of the five matches and providing the assist for Kane’s opener.

With 14 goals to his name in his last 20 international appearances, the Manchester City man offers excellent value at 11/5 (3.20) anytime odds.

Jadon Sancho was impressive on his first start of the competition against Ukraine and can be backed at 13/5 (3.60) to follow that up with a big goal at Wembley.

However, England are unlikely to have things all their own way against Kasper Hjulmand’s men, who are the joint-top scorers in the tournament with 11 goals from five matches.

Kasper Dolberg didn’t get on the pitch until the 60th minute of the third group game against Russia but has come alive in the knockout stages – scoring three times in two matches.

The Nice striker is therefore a tempting proposition at 9/1 (10.00) first goalscorer and 7/2 (4.50) anytime odds.

Replaced by Dolberg in attack due to injury, the returning Yussuf Poulsen is another strong option at 17/4 (5.25) anytime considering he has scored in two of his three starts at these Euros.

Meanwhile, Barcelona forward Martin Braithwaite is available at lengthy 4/1 (5.00) anytime odds to add to his 10 international goals with the biggest one yet in London.

All odds correct at time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>While recent encounters with Hjulmand's men have been closely fought, Al Hain-Cole is backing the Three Lions to edge a tight Euro 2020 semi-final

England continue in their quest to bring football home when they welcome Denmark to Wembley for Wednesday’s Euro 2020 semi-final.

The Three Lions are in buoyant spirits after sailing through the quarter-finals with a comprehensive 4-0 victory over Ukraine.

England vs Denmark latest odds

Indeed, England are now 8/11 (1.73) favourites with bet365 to book their place in a first major final since 1966 by coming out on top in front of their own fans.

However, Kasper Hjulmand’s Denmark ran out 1-0 winners at this ground in last year’s UEFA Nations League and can be backed at 17/4 (5.25) to cause an upset with another shock victory.

Just one of the last eight meetings between this duo has resulted in a draw, but you can get odds of 13/5 (3.60) on them taking this one into extra time after a deadlocked 90 minutes.

England vs Denmark team news

Jadon Sancho will be hoping to keep his place in the team after impressing on his first start of the tournament against Ukraine, with Bukayo Saka dropping out.

Andreas Christensen should be fit to start despite coming off injured in the latter stages of the quarter-final win over the Czech Republic, while Daniel Wass and Yussuf Poulsen are also back in contention after appearing from the bench in that clash.

England vs Denmark preview

While the home crowd will be in an expectant mood after the Ukraine win, Gareth Southgate will not be taking anything for granted given his side drew 0-0 away and lost 1-0 at home in last year’s Nations League meetings with this opposition.

Nevertheless, he can rely on the only defence that is yet to let in a single goal so far in the tournament, conceding just once in their last 11 fixtures in total.

With Denmark having conceded just once in the three matches since they kicked off the tournament with two successive defeats, another closely-fought encounter looks likely.

England vs Denmark tips & predictions

On that basis, odds of 12/5 (3.40) seem generous on England’s superior attacking options carrying them to a slender victory over Denmark in a match that features under 2.5 goals.

Colombia face Peru in the third-place play-off in the Copa America in the early hours of Saturday morning, with Los Cafeteros clear favourites to claim a podium finish at the tournament.

Reinaldo Rueda’s side only missed out on a place in the final on penalties against Argentina having pushed Lionel Messi and co all the way.

Peru, meanwhile, beat Colombia 2-1 in the group stage of the competition and will be quietly confident of causing an upset.

Colombia vs Peru Latest Odds

Colombia can be backed at 4/5 (1.80) with bet365 to win in 90 minutes and at 2/5 (1.40) to finish third.

Ricardo Gareca’s side, for their part, boast an excellent recent record in the competition, finishing third in 2011 and 2015, while ending the most recent edition of the tournament as runners-up two years ago.

Peru are priced at 4/1 (5.00) to win in 90 minutes and at 7/4 (2.75) to finish third.

The draw can be backed at 12/5 (3.40).

Colombia vs Peru Team News

The Colombians will be without Mateus Uribe, with the Porto midfielder picking up a muscle injury, which ended his involvement in the competition early.

This will be the fifth meeting between these two nations in the last two years and, while Peru were victorious in the most recent game, Colombia had convincingly won the previous three encounters.

Reinaldo Rueda’s men have not yet clicked in the final third in this competition given their considerable firepower up front, although they did score in their games against the two finalists of the competition, Brazil and Argentina.

Los Cafeteros have though been improving as the tournament has progressed and there should be interest in backing them to end the competition with a flourish. 

Colombia vs Peru Tips & Predictions

The price of 4/5 (1.80) for a Colombian victory looks fair enough, while combining this selection with both teams to score sees the odds rise to an appealing 11/4 (3.75).
