HUNGARY v FRANCE
This match takes place in Budapest, but France are very short favourites at 1/3 to win the match.
Hungary were always going to have it all to do in a tough group, but losing 3-0 to Portugal in their opener really does leave them with little to no hope and although that was their first loss in their last 6 Internationals, they haven't really played any of the top teams and there is nothing in that form line to suggest they can beat the French.
France faced the always dangerous Germany in their opener and they finished 1-0 victors to set themselves up nicely to top this group or at the very least proceed to the next round. They have been in excellent form over the last 3 months and haven't conceded a goal in their last 5 Internationals.

Hungary 19/2
Draw 44/10
France 1/3
Suggested Bet: Handicap, France (-1) at 9/10
For this bet to arrive France must win by more than a goal and based on the evidence of the opening round of matches, I am confident they will achieve just that.
PORTUGAL v GERMANY
Germany will have home ground advantage for this one as the match takes place in Munich and it is a game they simply cannot afford to lose.
Portugal opened their campaign with a 3-0 win over Hungary, a very pleasing result in a group where goal difference could well be a factor. They are undefeated in their last 6 Internationals and that includes a goalless draw against Spain in a friendly in the build up to this Tournament.
Germany’s defeat to France means they have to push for a victory here although at worst they must leave with a point. Their recent results have been inconsistent and they lost a World Cup qualifier to North Macedonia back in March and were held to a 1-1 draw by Denmark in a friendly ahead of this Tournament.
These sides haven't met since the World Cup in 2014 when Germany won 4-0.

Portugal 22/10
Draw 23/10
Germany 27/20
Suggested Bet: Portugal win at 22/10
I was impressed by Portugal in their opening game and I think there may be an air of desperation about the Germans on Saturday and this could open up chances for the sharp Portuguese attack where Ronaldo is currently trading as the 4/1 favourite to be the first goal scorer and he is 27/20 to find the back of the net at any time.
SPAIN v POLAND
The late kick-off is a Group E match between Spain and Poland taking place in Seville.
Spain did everything, but win their opener against Sweden eventually playing out a goalless draw after dominating much of the match. It was their second goalless draw in their last 3 Internationals, the other coming in a friendly against Portugal.
Poland started odds on favourites to beat Slovakia in their opener, but they lost the game 2-1. Their recent form hasn’t been that impressive with just 1 win now in their last 6 Internationals, but perhaps the stat worth noting is that both teams have found the net in 5 of their last 6 games and over 2.5 goal backers would have collected profits in 5 out of their last 6 matches.

Spain 7/20
Draw 4/1
Poland 31/4
Suggested Bet: Halftime / Fulltime, Spain / Spain at 19/20
A number of markets I like in this game including over 2.5 goals at 15/20, Poland matches tend to be high scoring and I can’t see Spain being kept out again, in fact I think they will get ahead early and that is why I am taking them to lead at the break and win the match.
