England vs Slovakia

• When: Sunday, 30 June, 6 p.m.
• Where: Gelsenkirchen

England finished first in its Group C, before Denmark, Slovenia, and Serbia. That’s not to say that it dazzled crowds across the continent with amazing football, though. Despite its impressive selection, England only won a single game in its very reasonable group (0-1 against Serbia), and drew the other two (1-1 against Denmark and 0-0 against group revelation Slovenia. The last performance of the English, against the modest Slovenes, was especially lackluster.

It'll have to be better from here on out for coach Southgate’s men. As group winner, they managed to avoid the bigger nations, though, so it’s next stop: Slovakia. If they want to set things right, the English might have to start relying more on plucky young players out to prove themselves (Mainoo, Palmer). It’s clear that throwing complacent starlets (Kane, Bellingham) onto the pitch and hoping for the best isn’t going to work out.

Slovakia ended third in a group that also included Romania, Belgium, and Ukraine. All nations here collected only 4 points after all winning, losing, and drawing once. The Slovaks are one of the best thirds, and as they proved by beating Belgium, they can take on a challenge. If England pulls itself together, Slovakia might be in for one tough summer evening, though. Still, if players like Schranz and Lobotka give another stellar performance, then anything is possible.

⚽ Conclusion and betting tips

England clearly doesn’t strike fear into the hearts of its opponents as much as it’d like. Lucky third Slovakia beat Belgium and showed resilience. Logic may dictate English to qualify for the next round, but it wouldn't be a surprise if they have to wait a long 90 minutes and more before finding the breakthrough. Consider a bet on England to win in extra time at odds of 9.50.

Spain vs Georgia

• When: Sunday, 30 June, 9 p.m.
• Where: Cologne

Spain is raging through the tournament with its passionate football that is a joy to behold. The Spanish won their 3 group games. They scored 3 times against Croatia, and netted once against both Italy and Albania. Most impressively: all of Spain’s victories happened without conceding a single goal. Few other nations have so emphatically applied for the title as Spain has done with its EURO 2024 campaign so far. That all makes Spain the team to beat for the title.

Spain has what may be the most balanced squads in the tournament. Experienced leaders like Morata and Carvajal have proven perfectly compatible with rising stars like Yamal and Williams. The latter, especially, has been a true discovery, and he’ll surely be a household name by the time that the tournament is over. As for their next encounter: Spain hasn’t lost to Georgia since 2016, and won twice on the road to EURO 2024: 3-1 and 1-7. Georgia knows what it’s up against!

From qualifying for its very first time to playing in the round of 16 against one of the favourites: Georgia is writing a beautiful football fairytale. Along the way, Georgia lost to Turkey (3-1), drew against Czechia (1-1), and beat Portugal (2-0). No matter how uphill the battle: count on it that the Georgians will show that they won’t go down without a fight. Anything can happen if the likes of Kvaratskhelia and tournament top scorer Mikautadze (3 goals so far) unleash their demons.

⚽ Conclusion and betting tips

Georgia are the surprise squad of this edition of the European Championship. By qualifying for the round of 16 with their stunt against Portugal, the Georgians have proven themselves capable of putting Spain to the test, hopefully in a game with goals for both sides. A bet on both teams to score coupled with ‘Total goals: Over 3.5’ is a smart plan, with odds of 4.33.
