Posted June 5, 20214 yr Friday 11th June Turkey vs Italy- Rome - 8pm (BBC) Saturday 12th June Wales vs Switzerland- Baku - 2pm (BBC) Wednesday 16th June Turkey vs Wales- Baku - 5pm (BBC) Italy vs Switzerland- Rome- 8pm (ITV) Sunday 20th June Italy vs Wales- Rome - 5pm (ITV) Switzerland vs Turkey- Baku- 5pm (ITV4) Odds to win Group A: (Coral) Italy 4/7 Switzerland 9/2 Turkey 9/2 Wales 7/1 Who do you think will go through in Group A?
June 5, 20214 yr This could be quite an open group I think! Barring any massive surprise Italy should take it but the second spot is anyone's game and because of that whoever is third could well pick up enough points to make it through as well.
June 6, 20214 yr Suspect Italy will get 3/3 wins and I think this will be a group where 3 teams go through. Hard to resd too much in to everyone else bar Italy as the travelling for the other 3 teams is mental.
June 6, 20214 yr Italy are currently on a 8 match winning streak and they haven't conceded a goal in any of those matches so I would expect them to easily win this group. Switzerland will get 2nd and Wales will be 3rd I think.

Switzerland will get 2nd and Wales will be 3rd I think. Turkey have the potential to do really well in the touranment, they've got a bit of a golden generation that's gone under the radar slightly.
June 7, 20214 yr Turkey always punch above their weight in these tournaments (2008 anyone?) but I'm hopeful Wales can also exceed expectations much like 2016. Would expect a romp for Italy but they've been guilty of hugely underperforming in major tournos before. Edited June 7, 20214 yr by Dobbo.
June 8, 20214 yr Think Wales generation is nearly at an end so think Italy and turkey from here Italy Turkey Switzerland Wales
June 8, 20214 yr I think Wales has a lot of turmoil and Switzerland is overrated, Italy and Turkey take this. Switzerland just doesn't show the same form in tournaments as they do in qualifying campaigns. Wales isn't the same squad from previous major tournaments and they're dealing with manager issues and a Bale who might not be 100% there. Turkey might even win the group. Italy has quietly righted the ship that crashed when they missed the 2018 World Cup, they're building another golden generation and are in a long 26 match unbeaten streak for the national team. Turkey has their best generation of talent since 2002. They're still inconsistent but they attack, play for each other, and are fun to watch.

June 11, 20214 yr I think the same too, the first match of Euros tournos have historically been cagey affairs.
June 11, 20214 yr Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised by a draw. Would love to see Turkey pull off an upset though!

June 11, 20214 yr For tonight's match, I predict 1-0 to Italy. Italy and Switzerland probably will take the top two places in this group I think, traditionally both teams have had good defence although I don't know about now.
June 11, 20214 yr I'm expecting Italy and Turkey to go through to the next round, Italy seem to be one of the favourites to win the comp this year.
June 11, 20214 yr Author Ok, they need to bring the ball on for every match forever like that from now on!
June 11, 20214 yr 15 minutes in and that car bringing the ball onto the pitch is still the most interesting thing that has happened so far :lol:
June 11, 20214 yr Author Great pressing from Italy. Turkey can hardly exchange one pass before being hauled off the ball
