NORTH MACEDONIA v NETHERLANDS
These sides meet in Amsterdam on Monday and North Macedonia have lost both their opening fixtures 2-1 to the Ukraine and 3-1 to Austria. Given they had beaten Germany in a World Cup qualifier in the build-up to this event, their results have been a bit disappointing.
The Netherlands have already booked their spot in the last 16 and top the group after victories over Austria 2-0 and the Ukraine 3-2.

North Macedonia 39/4
Draw 21/4
Netherlands 1/4
Suggested Bet: Both teams to score, YES, at 19/20
The pressure is off the Netherlands heading into this one and North Macedonia will be determined to go out with a bang. I think we are going to see plenty of end-to-end action with goals both sides and will take the 19/20 that they both find the net.
UKRAINE v AUSTRIA
This match takes place in Bucharest and both teams will be looking to fill the runner-up spot behind Netherlands.
The Ukraine held on for a much needed 2-1 win over North Macedonia last time out and prior to that they went down by 3-2 to the Netherlands. They currently sit 2nd on the table, level on points with Austria, but having scored 1 more goal.
Austria went down 2-0 to the Netherlands in their last start and also beat North Macedonia by 3-1. If the Tournament had to stop at the end of the second round of matches, Austria would go through as the second best 3rd place finisher.

Ukraine 53/20
Draw 19/20
Austria 61/20
Suggested Bet: Halftime / Fulltime, Draw / Draw at 19/10
The betting for this game reflects the fact that the draw would most likely see both teams through to the next round and rather than take 19/20 that it finishes level, I think the draw at halftime and draw fulltime offers a better chance of extracting some value.
FINLAND v BELGIUM
This match takes place in St Petersburg.
Belgium are top of the group with the maximum 6 points from their 2 matches, having beaten Denmark 2-1 and Russia 3-0. Avoiding defeat in this game would see them top the log.
Finland are on 3 points after losing to Russia 1-0 and beating Denmark 1-0. They are currently the 3rd ranked third placed team with the top 4 third placed teams in the various groups going through and are level on points with Russia who play Denmark.

Finland 35/4
Draw 4/1
Belgium 7/20
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Belgium (-1) at 19/20
I am backing Belgium to win this game by more than a goal as they look a cut above Finland in terms of class and won’t want to slip up and not top the group.
RUSSIA v DENMARK
This match takes place in Copenhagen and Russia likely need a point to progress to the last 16. They opened their campaign with a 3-0 loss to Belgium, but then beat Finland 1-0.
Denmark have yet to score a point as they lost to 1-0 to Finland and 2-1 to Belgium having taken the lead in that game. They still have a mathematical chance of finishing 2nd and are odds on at 17/20 to progress to the last 16.

Russia 77/20
Draw 28/10
Denmark 15/20
Suggested Bet: The draw at 28/10
Denmark are the odds on favourites for the match, but I was quite impressed with Russia against Finland and think they can get the point they will be looking for in this one.
