class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having demolished Russia 4-1 only a few days ago, Goal is backing Hjulmand's men to reach the quarter-finals of Euro 2020 by beating the Dragons

The first Euro 2020 last-16 match takes place on Saturday evening when Wales and Denmark do battle at the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam.

Both nations finished second in their respective group and will each fancy their chances of reaching the quarter-finals.

Wales vs Denmark Latest Odds

Wales went all the way to the semi-finals at Euro 2016 but are 4/1 (5.0) with Betfair Sportsbook to go some way to replicating that run by winning this match inside 90 minutes, or 21/10 (3.10) to qualify by any means.

Denmark last won a European Championship knockout game back in 1992 when they won the tournament but Betfair make them 17/20 (1.85) to be victorious here and 4/11 (1.36) to qualify.

The draw, which would lead to extra time and potentially penalties, is available at 9/4 (3.25).

Wales vs Denmark Team News

Ethan Ampadu saw red against Italy and is suspended for this last-16 match, which means Rob Page could revert to a back four or bring Chris Mepham back in after the Bournemouth man was an unused substitute against the Azzurri.

Christian Eriksen remains out for Denmark, who played the same starting XI in each of their last two Group B games.

Wales vs Denmark Preview

After losing their opening game of Euro 2020 to minnows Finland in a match which was overshadowed by star playmaker Eriksen suffering a cardiac arrest on the pitch, Denmark have shown remarkable mental fortitude to get to this point.

The 4-1 victory over Russia just a few days ago was one of the finest performances by any country in this tournament and that should give them plenty of confidence against a Wales team which has conceded 16 shots on target already – the fourth most in Euro 2020.

In contrast, Kasper Hjulmand’s men boast the most shots on target with 21 to their name, recording at least five in each Group A match, and facing only eight in those fixtures.

Wales vs Denmark Tips and Predictions

Playing admirably following the devastating events of only two weeks ago, the 17/20 (1.85) price from Betfair Sportsbook on Denmark extending their Euro 2020 campaign for at least a few more days offers strong value in Amsterdam.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having eased through the group stages in impressive fashion, Al Hain-Cole is backing the Azzurri to pull off a comfortable win against Foda's men

Austria will be hoping to pull off an upset when they take on Italy in Saturday’s Euro 2020 last-16 clash at Wembley.

The Azzurri have been arguably the team of the tournament so far, sailing through the group stages with nine points from nine and no goals conceded.

Italy vs Austria Latest Odds

Indeed, they are clear 9/20 (1.45) favourites with bet365 to progress to the quarter-finals by pulling off a 12th consecutive win – extending their unbeaten streak to a national record of 31 matches in the process.

Franco Foda’s men beat Ukraine and North Macedonia to make it through their group as runners-up to the Netherlands, but are 7/1 (8.00) outsiders to come out on top against their in-form opponents.

The most recent meeting between this duo resulted in a 2-2 draw in a friendly match back in 2008, and you can get odds of 16/5 (4.20) on them taking this one into extra time after another deadlocked 90 minutes.

Italy vs Austria Team News

Giorgio Chiellini is unlikely to feature after suffering a hamstring injury in the final group game against Wales, while Alessandro Florenzi and Lorenzo Pellegrini are also doubtful.

Konrad Laimer and Christoph Baumgartner will both face late fitness tests after coming off injured against Ukraine.

Italy vs Austria Preview

While few rated them among the pre-tournament favourites, Roberto Mancini’s side is now looking like a serious contender to lift this trophy for the first time since 1968.

Having become the first ever team to come through the group stages with three wins and three clean sheets under their belt, they will be confident of seeing off a nation celebrating its first ever appearance at this stage.

Although impressive in their 1-0 victory over Ukraine, Austria will surely struggle to find a way past an opposition defence that has now gone 11 games without conceding – letting in just seven goals in the 30 fixtures since their last defeat.

Italy vs Austria Tips and Predictions

Considering Austria have failed to score in four of their last six matches in all competitions, odds of 6/5 (2.20) seem generous on Italy continuing their impressive form by winning to nil for a 12th game in succession.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Oranje have been in superb scoring form in recent months and Goal is backing that run to continue this weekend in their last-16 clash at Euro 2020

Netherlands face Czech Republic at the Puskas Arena on Sunday afternoon in the last-16 of Euro 2020, with Frank de Boer’s men clear favourites to progress to the quarter-finals.

The Dutch finished top of their group with three wins from their three matches and are the top scorers in the tournament, having managed eight goals.

Jaroslav Silhavy’s side, meanwhile, made it through to the knockout stages as one of the best third-placed nations thanks to a win over a Scotland and a draw against Croatia.

Netherlands vs Czech Republic Latest Odds

The last two meetings between these sides came in qualifying for Euro 2016, with the Czechs winning both home and away against their more illustrious opponents.

However, they are one of the least-fancied sides in the last 16 with bet365 pricing them at 4/1 (5.00) to win in 90 minutes and the Dutch at 4/6 (1.66) .

Odds of 11/4 (3.75) are available on the game going to extra time and potentially penalties. 

Netherlands vs Czech Republic Team News

Striker Luuk de Jong has been ruled out of the rest of the tournament with a knee injury, although the Sevilla forward had only featured for 10 minutes in the competition for the Netherlands.

The Czechs have no major injury concerns heading into the game.

Netherlands vs Czech Republic Preview

While question marks remain over the Netherlands’ defensive solidity, their firepower up-front remains impressive.

De Boer’s men have scored at least twice in each of their last 10 matches in all competitions and their eight goals at Euro 2020 have come from four different players, with Gini Wijnaldum responsible for three strikes.

The Netherlands should be be confident of continuing their strong scoring form this weekend considering Czech Republic have kept just one clean sheet in their last eight matches, and conceded four goals against Italy in a friendly earlier this month as well as twice against Estonia in a World Cup qualifier in March.

Netherlands vs Czech Republic Tips and Predictions

The Dutch are priced at 4/5 (1.80) to score over 1.5 goals which looks like an excellent option, given their record in the final third this year and in Euro 2020.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>These two sides have been in superb scoring form and Goal is backing plenty of action when they meet in the last-16 of Euro 2020 in Seville on Sunday

The most eye-catching fixture in the last-16 of Euro 2020 takes place at the Estadio La Cartuja in Seville as the number one ranked team in the world Belgium face the reigning European champions Portugal.

Roberto Martinez’s side topped their group with three wins but face a tough tie in the knockout stages against a Cristiano Ronaldo-led team that ended Group F in third place.

Belgium vs Portugal Latest Odds

The most recent meeting between these nations came in a friendly in 2018 which finished goalless, and another draw can be backed at 5/2 (3.50) with bet365.

Belgium are favourites to claim a win in 90 minutes at 13/10 (2.30) while Portugal are at 2/1 (3.00).

In terms of qualifying via any means, the Red Devils are priced at 7/10 (1.70) to qualify with Fernando Santos’ men out at 21/20 (2.05). 

Belgium vs Portugal Team News

Belgium began the tournament with fitness doubts over Kevin de Bruyne and Eden Hazard but both key players started the final group game against Finland and should be available this weekend.

Nelson Semedo limped off in Portugal’s 2-2 draw against France on Wednesday evening and the Wolves full-back faces a race against time to be fit for Sunday, while Nuno Mendes also remains an injury doubt. 

Belgium vs Portugal Preview

Portugal’s three matches in the tournament so far have seen 13 goals scored and there is little doubt that their clashes against both France and Germany have been the most entertaining games of the competition.

Another open high scoring match looks likely in southern Spain with Belgium also in extremely impressive scoring form, having scored in each of their last 33 games and at least twice in nine of their most recent 12 matches.

The goals should flow once more on Sunday evening and both teams will be confident of finding the back of the net after strong performances in the final third at Euro 2020 so far.

Belgium vs Portugal Tips and Predictions

Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is priced at 5/4 (2.25) and looks like a strong option.

Over 3.5 goals has paid out in both of Portugal’s last two matches in the tournament and is available at 5/2 (3.50) which could be appealing for a smaller stake.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Dalic's men triumphed when these two nations met at the previous European Championships but Goal is backing La Roja to come out on top at Euro 2020

Spain face Croatia in the last-16 of Euro 2020 on Monday with Luis Enrique’s men aiming to build on their impressive win in their final group game against Slovakia.

La Roja recorded a 5-0 success on Wednesday night, the biggest victory of the competition so far, and the result has gone a long way to restoring the team’s confidence after a pair of sub-par performances against Sweden and Poland.

Croatia, meanwhile, secured a spot in the knockout stages with a 3-1 win over Scotland, although that was only their third victory in their last 11 matches.

Croatia vs Spain Latest Odds

The runners up from the 2018 World Cup are clear outsiders on Monday evening, with bet365 offering Croatia at 5/1 (6.00) to win in 90 minutes and 5/2 (3.50) to qualify.

Spain, for their part, are priced at 3/5 (1.60) to win without extra time and at 2/7 (1.28) to progress with the draw at 27/10 (3.70). 

Croatia vs Spain Team News

Luis Enrique made changes for the final group game with Eric Garcia coming in at centre back to replace Pau Torres, while Cesar Azpilicueta replaced Marcos Llorente at right-back.

It remains to be seen whether the manager reverts to his original back four, while up-front Pablo Sarabia impressed with a goal and will be hoping to fight off competition from Ferran Torres for a starting berth alongside Alvaro Morata and Gerard Moreno.

Croatia are without defender Dejan Lovren after the former Liverpool man picked up two yellow cards in the group stages whilst Ivan Perisic is unavailable after testing positive for COVID-19.

Croatia vs Spain Preview

Both sides put in strong performances in the final group games yet will be acutely aware that the difficulty of opponent will significantly increase on Monday afternoon.

Despite the 5-0 thrashing of Slovakia, question marks remain over Spain’s ability to be clinical in the final third, with Luis Enrique’s men only scoring two or more goals in four of their last 13 games.

At the very least, though, La Roja are difficult to beat, losing just one game in three years – during which time they have avoided defeat against the likes of Germany, Portugal, and the Netherlands.

They might not dazzle often, but they are a tough opponent and Spain will once look to dictate the tempo of the game through possession.

Croatia, for their part, are not the strongest outfit defensively with their only two clean sheets in the last 19 matches coming against Cyprus and Malta.

That run has seen them concede four goals against France and Portugal and three goals against Turkey, and while Spain are not the most prolific side, they certainly look like a stronger unit than Zlatko Dalic’s men. 

Croatia vs Spain Tips and Predictions

Spain to win and under 3.5 goals is priced at 6/5 (2.20) which is an appealing option, while backing La Roja to keep their third clean sheet of the tournament at 9/10 (1.90) could also be of interest.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With both teams in prolific form recently, Al Hain-Cole expects Les Bleus to come out on top in a high-scoring Euro 2020 clash against Petkovic's men

Switzerland will be aiming to upset the world champions when they take on France at the Arena Nationala in Monday’s Euro 2020 last-16 clash.

Vladimir Petkovic’s men have reached this stage of the competition for just the second time in their history, having taken four points from their three group games against Wales, Italy and Turkey.

France vs Switzerland Latest Odds

However, they are  6/1 (7.00)  outsiders with bet365 to move into the quarter-finals for the first time by pulling off a shock victory against a team they have not beaten since 1992.

Les Bleus followed up their opening victory over Germany with successive draws versus Hungary and Portugal but are 8/15 (1.53) favourites to get back to winning ways in Bucharest.

Four of the last five encounters between this duo have resulted in draws, and there are odds of 14/5 (3.80) on them cancelling each other out once again and taking the match to extra time.

France vs Switzerland Team News

Lucas Digne has been ruled out after suffering a muscle injury in the draw with Portugal, joining Ousmane Dembele on the sidelines.

Ricardo Rodriguez is likely to retake his place on the left side of the back three, having moved there from left wing back in the decisive final group stage victory over Turkey.

France vs Switzerland Preview

Although they did secure first place in the so-called group of death, Didier Deschamps’ team did not look quite as untouchable as they had been billed before the tournament began.

Indeed, their failure to keep a clean sheet against Hungary and the two goals conceded versus Portugal will have offered a glimmer of hope to the Nati, who have found the net in all but one of their last 12 fixtures – scoring 28 times in that period.

France vs Switzerland Tips and Predictions

Nevertheless, it is still hard to see the Swiss out-scoring an opponent so blessed with attacking talent, meaning odds of 13/8 (2.63) look like excellent value on France coming out on top in their fourth match in six to feature over 2.5 goals – as well as a sixth in seven for Switzerland.
