I assume that the easiest matchup today is Italy - North Macedonia. It is obviously the end of the road for North Macedonia here. Maybe Italy weren't having their best times in the group stage but they are still way ahead of their opponent. And from now on, every game is critical for them as they can qualify for the World Cup in case they win today and once more in next round. Italy mustn't make simple mistakes. They have solid players and they can make it to the World Cup too no matter their opponent in next round is Portugal or Turkey. Portugal would be a much bigger challenge maybe but I still think Italy are better.
Struggling to find something of an upset but I'm liking Turkey (as usual). Jota and others are in good form but Coach is always going to play Ronaldo and he's liable to have an off day right?
talking about the coach, i feel like if Portugal shit the bed tonight it'll totally be on the coach, he's literally the main reason why they're in this situation... Remember Ronaldo's reaction after they lost to Serbia? I do, you don't see a player confronting the manager like that every day. Anyway, my underdog to win today is Czech Republic, such an exciting team, already proved what they're capable of in the last Euro by reaching quarter finals... to qualify at 2.6 is pretty good
portugal vs turkey and czech vs sweden are the 2 matches that caught my attention the most. Portugal is the runner up from group A and I see the strengths of the two (portugal and turkey) are balanced, it's a tough match.
As for Sweden, it is reported that Zlatan will not play, I know that Sweden wins head to head vs Czech Republic on average but this is an important match for both countries, I choice drew in this match.

I hope to see an enjoyable game between Portugal and Turkey today. Portugal are obviously the absolute favourite to win this game tonight. Turkey are not an unreliable team now. They are still trying to improve their performance and get better. Stefan Kuntz is a really good coach but I don't know how much he is confident about this game now. Portugal have really great stars and Ronaldo is the most important one of course. Turkey need to play smart against them to increase their chance of eliminating them. Or it'd be a one-sided game mostly.
I think that the most interesting game of the day is Portugal - Turkey. In fact, Portugal are very highly favourite team here but I still don't think that it is going to be an easy-peasy game for them. Turkey were doing well in their last games with their new manager. If they keep that level at least and even improve it more, then they could make difficulties for Portugal in this game. It seems like Cristiano Ronaldo is playing in this one definitely so his performance is going to be very crucial for his team's success in this round. I think Portugal will eliminate Turkey but it will be by a small goal gap.
The final score will depend on how the events in the match will develop. If Turkey comes forward they will try to play completely defensively and then we can see 1-0 or 1-1 in regular time. If Portugal scores the first goal, then Turkey will have to take risks and go forward, then we can see the score 4-0, 4-1 and more. In any case, although it will be an interesting match, others (except where Italy plays) look more competitive.
Looking at the two team strength and weakness, it could be deduce that Portugal will definitely win the match, but going by recent developments to turkey team i see them preparing seriously as well with the help of their manager, but football game prediction is not base on foresight prediction but a game of chance and luck, if portugal will be winning then it 1:0 as against turkey in the march
Wales - Austria
It will be a match of two equal teams, in which it is very difficult to predict the matter of promotion. I think that both teams will be very focused on defense, because it can be very difficult to make up for any losses. I won't be surprised if we see extra time in this game. I bet on less than 2.5 goals in the match.
I think that the Austrian team has a stronger attack, in Wales they like to play from defense, but the match must be careful, and in such matches there are often few goals scored, so I agree with the total of less than 2.5 goals. If Wales score first then they can shut down, but if the Austrians score first then the match will be more open, worth watching this match in live.

Portugal - Turkey
The hosts of the game are the clear favorite in the Portugal - Turkey game. Both teams played great in the qualifying rounds and suffered only 1 defeat, but it was not enough to take first places in their groups. However, I do not think Turkey has any chance of a promotion. I definitely bet on Portugal's promotion.
This is a two-round match. The favorites of the first matches are usually the home teams. However, Portugal will be deprived of their important defenders. Turkey, on the other hand, is lacking in a striker. The lucky team today will win. I see the chances of both teams close to each other. In their Group, there is Turkey, which won 4 points in 2 matches from France.The hosts of the game are the clear favorite in the Portugal - Turkey game.

and even though Portugal played against Turkey without some core defenders he still has some of the best players, and I'm sure Portugal will win this game because for sure Ronaldo will play very well and also encourage all his players to play well to work together and help each other others, especially in defense.

well it seems that bookmakers do not agree with you that the odds are for both teams, for bookmakers there is a big difference between these two teams and the favorite and portugal. see the odds:
Portugal = @1.38
Turkey = @7.80
it's a big difference in terms of odds, I don't know why there is such a big difference but betting on turkey can be a big risk of losing money
Sweden - Czech Republic
Sweden and favorite to win the game
Italy - North Macedonia
clearly italy will win this game
Wales - Austria
this is the hardest game to predict
Well, thanks Syria. Used to put them on tickets to good effect, and then past year or so failed me countless occasions, and then today they decide to trounce Lebanon, after losing to them the last time they met. Thought it would be a turnaround in fortunes but the win record for Syria's now extended to 15W5L6D. Oh well.

Yes, even though some Portugal players cannot be played at this moment, Portugal still has other players which of course, they still have better quality compared to the Turkish squad. But yes, we must also realize that Turkey has Hakan Calhanoglu who is the creator of the attack but still, Portugal has a striker who is currently improving and it's not just Ronaldo because Portugal still has Diogo Jota and Joao Felix. Portugal did win on paper, but anything can still happen and Portugal must continue to play at full strength because it will be very dangerous if they underestimate the opponent.
It will certainly not be due to the lack of quality that Portugal can have a bad game. Portugal has one of the best players currently playing, in several positions. Like those already mentioned, as well as Bernardo Silva and Bruno Fernandes.
But I think Portugal's biggest problem is really the coach and the strategies he sometimes puts on the team, which doesn't make it so efficient. Therefore, this game will be based a lot on the tactics used by Portugal.

Even though they are the leading team, Italy should not underestimate North Macedonia in this match, because North Macedonia, who came out as runners-up in Group J, will certainly play without a burden and it can be said that they might be able to surprise the Italian team
It's true that anything can happen in a single winner-takes-all match, we've all seen enough cup surprises over the years. A single match definitely gives N Macedonia a better chance than a two-leg match, but still, it's not much of a chance. Italy really should win comfortably.
I think from the three paths I'd probably have Ukraine, Czech Republic and Italy as my picks to qualify.
Sweden - Czech Republic
The game between Sweden and Czech Republic is going to be very interesting. It will be a match between two equal teams, it is hard to indicate a favorite. It is a pity that we will not see two great strikers in this game, Zlatan is paused for cards and Patrik Schick is injured. In this match, I will bet on Sweden's promotion, mainly because they are playing at home. Overtime is not ruled out.
Elanga is predicted play in this match...The game between Sweden and Czech Republic is going to be very interesting. It will be a match between two equal teams, it is hard to indicate a favorite.

Sweden without Ibrahimovic will have a hard time winning against the Czechs because as far as I can see, Sweden is already dependent on Ibrahimovic. While Elanga performed well in several Manchester United matches, this was an exciting match. my choice fell on czech.

It's not a "two-round match", it's "win or go home" type of game. Whoever lose today will be eliminated. That's why both teams should give their %100 to qualify.
Portugal and Italy are natural favorites but these type of match-ups always open for surprises. Although I don't expect any today, if it happens I won't be surprised much. I wish we see both of these teams in World Cup but there is only one ticket for these four teams.
Italy - North Macedonia
In this match, I see no other option than a convincing victory for the hosts. Nobody needs to be convinced about the class of the Italian national team. Additionally, in the visiting team, their best player Eljif Elmas has a break cause of the cards. I think the Italians will take the lead quickly and I will be in control of the game while saving myself for a likely match against Portugal in the next stage.
Even though they are the leading team, Italy should not underestimate North Macedonia in this match, because North Macedonia, who came out as runners-up in Group J, will certainly play without a burden and it can be said that they might be able to surprise the Italian team later, so this is very appropriate for Mancini is wary of their, on paper Italy is far superior to North Macedonia but I think they will still have difficulties in the macth for facing the attractive game that North Macedonia has shown so far.In this match, I see no other option than a convincing victory for the hosts.

Yes, it will be very strange if Italy cannot solve the issue of winning this match in regular time. I made a multi bet on Italy, Portugal and Brazil. I hope all the favorites will play as expected and win in regular time - hardly anyone wants to waste their energy on an extra 30 minutes and a possible penalty shootout (however, this only applies to Italy and Portugal).
