I'm going to make a bold bet and put my money on Belgium to win France and I'll also bet on Austria to win Turkey. I think Austria will get to the final of this tournament. They have what it takes to win anybody they meet including the Netherlands and England.

We might be having counter predictions at the moment. France is definitely underperforming below everyone’s expectations, the only player that is currently standing out of the entire star packed squad is Ngolo Kante who many didn’t even want back into the national team. The France Coach Didier Deschamp looks to be having a problem getting finding his best team most especially the midfield combination and it is causing them lots of problems.

But even at that I will favour France to win over Belgium all day. Just like other past tournaments they are struggling to win matches again. They Lost shamelessly against solvenia and their overall performance hasn’t changed to me, I don’t rate them that high to beat France
Let me put it this way. With the few lapses France are still experiencing in their team will make them lose to Belgium. There is no need to debate on this because Belgium has players that any slight mistake they can score. De Bryune is one player I know, that no matter has poor his teammates are performing doesn't lose his talent at all.

Mbape has tried a lot for his team but this dude can't do all the work alone. The France coach should quickly work on the player he would want to play that day and he should be careful to make the right decision.

Germany stood out with their performance in the opening match of the tournament. In the 2nd and 3rd games of the group, they couldn't maintain their tempo. It is possible that this is a plan of Nagelsmann. The mobility of the players in Germany, especially in the offensive line, draws attention. Denmark, on the other hand, managed to advance to the last 16 with a series of draws in their group. Denmark is definitely not a team to be underestimated with the Eriksen factor and physical quality, but I think they are inadequate in the offensive zone. In the first half, we can watch a tough match with bilateral struggles at the forefront. I think there will be more goals in the second half.

Germany might be planning something special in their game against Denmark but they are not the only ones who have the elements of surprise in this tournament. Nagelsmann isn't doing bad after all but teams like Denmark are always stronger and tough to defeat in this stage of the competition and what we saw about the German side in the group stage can be something different, like they won't be as aggressive as they were in the group stage. No country is easy to defeat in the round of 16 and Germany will try to be careful not to make any mistake that would cost them the game, it can even end in a draw.
Denmark can be a good stumbling block for Germany because although in terms of strength it is clear that Denmark loses because the quality of players both individually and as a whole the German team is better but the attack schemes and tactics that Denmark has are also not bad.
Germany is still one of the strongest contenders for the trophy at this Euro but on the other hand by looking at the many surprises in the group phase, especially for some groups that are even predicted to be easy but the reality is difficult, it is possible that for the round of 16 this time there will also be surprises.

Germany must be wary of Denmark's counterattacks especially some players like Hojbjerg or Kristiansen they have quite good speed and composure as play makers in the management of Danish attacks so indeed this cannot be used as an easy match for them.
It's just that looking at the statistics of the matches in the group phase Denmark is bad at finishing problems so this is a good advantage for Germany.

I think at this stage if the tournament the best contenders doesn't count and with the strength of both teams you'd see that the host are very much better like you said and the Denmark side are not that good or equipped for this encounter but they are seen as players who can run around, play like they have nothing to lose and at the end of the game it could be in their favor by winning the game. I said they are going to be careful, I mean both teams and I feel we are going to see more fire power from Denmark while Germany will only hold back and wait for the counter because they have good players who can cause damage to their opponent, I just hope Sane doesn't start because he has lost form completely, not like we know him at City. I can tip him (Sane) to miss more chances than any other German players. The Denmark team can perform bad in the group stage but can be better in the round of 16, you never can tell.

Well I think I also agree for it to be a draw, if you have
being watching the euros then you would know that the games are actually not favouring this french side despite the fact they have all the stars to win the match, they have struggled all through especially in the aspect of goals and I could say the same thing for Belgium too and that's why I am going for a draw too and moreover the knockout stages is way harder than group stages.
Something I learned from PSG though, when you’ve got way too much stars in a team, the team begins to flop. Not because there isn’t any quality in the team or they aren’t capable of causing much damage but, having so many star players puts the entire team into competition on who could be the dominant player and just like that, they lack team work.
Belgium on their part really did struggle for a draw and they managed to get it. I was surprised how KDB was seeking a time wasting strategy with Bakayoko. It was the safe thing to do and it helped them to advance.

The problem with the PSG team when they had so many star payers in the team was lack of corporation, the thing would have utilize the opportunity they had in bringing those players together to win so many trophies but the management could not stop the issues with the players that made the team to play more of individual football instead of focusing on team work which would have helped them to achieve a better result.

The Belgium team has a good number of players in the team but I think at this point the players are playing as if they are not familiar with each other anymore that's why they are not at their best performance in the competition, they were lucky to have made it in the knockout stage but if they don't improve in their performance I don't see them getting to the semi-finals of the competition.

France-Belgium match will be the toughest match of the tournament in the last 16 round.

There are two good matches tomorrow, Switzerland-Italy and Germany-Denmark.
Switzerland-Italy match will not be easy for either side.
Germany-Denmark match the favorite is Germany, I think Germany will win easily. Also Germany is one of the favorite teams for the cup.

Before Belgium will face France, Italy will first have their very big test against Switzerland that are very organized and carry a very good attacking threat. No margin for errors because they will be eliminated without a second opportunity to proof themselves and defend their title, so they have to take the game seriously from the beginning. The winner in the game between Italy and Switzerland will prepare to face the winner between England and Slovakia. The competition is more serious, all the teams will have a big test on their way to the finals.

Italy have the potential to meet England, Austria have the chance to meet Netherlands, Portugal has a chance to meet either Belgium or France, and Germany have the chance to meet Spain on their way to the finals.

Outstanding display against Scotland national team they had during the first game. I expected the win but not with that margin. They did have a good game in the second fixture, they already qualified so they saw some squad rotations which reduced their performance but anyways, substituted players, finally came on to share the spoils and also, salvaged a point outta the game.

They have a good coach and h knows how to utilize them effectively. Failing to score goals is gone be a big issue for the Danes in this round, we gon see how it goes anyway. Honestly, I haven't seen so much about them for real. So less I'll say.

Foe the game when they face themselves, immediately Germany breaks them down and gain full possession of the game, then they can now penetrate them.
Denmark would want to be a tough but to crack anyways. They'll do what they do best, sit back and hit with counter attacks. Lol!

This will be a good big match for the round of 16 in this Euro because we know in terms of fifa rankings France and Belgium are ranked 2nd and 3rd. so this is indeed a very good treat created in this euro .
Its just that in terms of performance, both of them are equally bad in the group phase because it is not in accordance with the expected expectations where they are quite difficult to get wins and even goals in this group phase .

IMHO for betting it will be more comfortable if in 90 minutes they will play a draw because if you look at the statistics that occur it cant be denied that their game is very good, but in terms of finishing and goal productivity they are still quite bad for several reasons.  Euro this time is difficult to predict because every team that is considered good and considered a strong candidate does not play according to expectations so in this match also I think it will be quite comfortable when it is in the draw rather than being in the victory of one of the teams .

France round of 16 match against Belgium will a tough match and for Lukaku who will have to be as destructive as mbape in the attack, it's a huge responsibility he has on his shoulder to put out a good performance considering the stage they've gotten to where a draw is not what they need. They have a solid and well experienced three man attack which is coming from doku, Kelvin de Byrne and lukaku and if they have learnt the necessary lesson from thier lapses at the group stage in terms of thier inability to converting most of the opportunities they've hard and are ready to do better in this round, then they can shrink all the efforr mbape will come with but if they still play like they are in the group stage, France will certainly suck them dry.
The match might be a tough match bit but i don't think France can can find the match difficult because they have a better squad than there opponents which is Belgium according to what some saying that they cannot compare the france performance with Belgium, because even in the group stage's it prove that they France can get qualify from this round 16 match even thoughts is only 1 points in between them, but we shal be wait and see what can actually happen in that very day between this two teams.
Well that's your own take on the game as everyone has their own opinion and for me I think this game is definitely going to end in a draw and maybe they will settle the winner through a penalty shoot out and I don't say this for just this game as I feel that would be the era of the actual ending for most of the games of round of 16 in this competition.
I don't see the match as a draw that will lead to penalty because France is stronger than Belgium in all angles. This is the kind of match that Mbappe likes putting up his best performance in order for his country not to be eliminated out of the tournament if not it will be a let down to him.

Belgium have good midfield but that does not mean that they will dominate the match and outsmart France because France has a good defense and good strikers. Maybe we might see some surprises from Belgium who knows.

France too is not in a very good form. They couldn't top their group over Austria. They've not even scored an open play goal in the tournament, an own goal and a penalty are the goals they've scored so far. So it is more of a 50-50 match. Belgium too are not exceptional. What both teams have is experience. If Belgium can be able to make use of their chances they might win, and that depends on Lukaku. He can't go there and start missing chances because they might not get a lot of it.

I'm going to make a bold bet and put my money on Belgium to win France and I'll also bet on Austria to win Turkey. I think Austria will get to the final of this tournament. They have what it takes to win anybody they meet including the Netherlands and England.

To be honest, I don't see any chance for Denmark. Their strongest opponent in the group was England and they are currently in very poor form and even the individually strong players are not convincing with their performance and in a group like this they have not been able to get a win. The german players will probably have an easy game tomorrow. My tip for tomorrow: win handicap (0:1) for Germany

The round of 16 in any tournament is always hard to pass, it is a stage where every team will make good effort see if they can win the title because any team that will be able to pass through the knockout stage will have the hope of winning the cup; therefore, Germany should not underrate Denmark in the knockout stage because anything can happen.
Denmark is not an easy opponent for Germany according to the statistics of their last five matches; they played three draws and one win for each of the team, this has made their respective chances in this match to be equal because Denmark historically is difficult to be eliminated in the round of 16.

I think this match is difficult, and it is not easy to score goals, even if Germany wins, the victory is achieved with difficulty and won with a narrow score. It is true that Denmark did not win a single match in the group stage, but in fact Denmark also did not experience defeat in the group stage and conceded very few goals, this proves that their defense is also strong.

I'm actually worried about German striker Kai Havert who doesn't have a thirst for goals but still plays, especially since Rudiger always makes blunders in the German defense area. It is true that Germany can win this match because in terms of players, in terms of technique, Germany is better than Denmark, especially since Germany has support as the host.

However, if Germany is not careful and underestimates Denmark, then Germany will have the same fate as England, where after winning 0-1, England played more defensively and carefully, instead Denmark controlled the game until they equalized.

Switzerland vs Italy and Germany vs Denmark should also be tough matches. Switzerland seems to have a good mentality to win the match against Italy, but I know that Italy is very difficult to beat. I tend to consider this match as a draw in normal time, but not so with Germany vs Denmark. Germany is my favorite, but nothing is certain.
These last two days have been like a long wait, I think those of us who love football always aspire to have top-level football matches, for me I think the Same Choice as you, Germany is a Country that has improved, in fact in the last match of the phase I thought they played a little below their level, although the match of the last tour like that one against PORTUGAL I Didn't like either, I saw them play slowly, in fact they took CR7 out of the match , for me one of the Worst games of this team, I don't know, the only good thing I thought was that Georgia went through, the Euro Cup and the Copa America, I think that has kept many of us very entertained, the best thing is that the Olympic Games are Coming in July.

Well looking at the round of 16 matches, you can even doubt the possibility of Spain, Germany, and France to easily win their round of 16 matches.

Take for instance, Germany will square it up with Denmark, and Spain to face Georgia, while France to Belgium. Do you think it's an easy match not a tough match for them?

Take a look at the picture below for the round of 16 matches fixtures.

The teams you mentioned Germany, Spain and France are easier to say they will win considering the quality of the squad players is quite good so it is natural that many people say these teams will qualify easily, but this is a match that can sometimes be difficult against underdogs.

Germany vs Denmakr is likely that Germany will win but it cannot be denied that this team will lose.
Spain vs Georgia is a no-brainer, especially since Spain didn't lose in the group stage.
France vs Belgium is a bit difficult as Belgium is a strong team although they faced difficulties in the group stage but it will be an intense match.

For me the tough matches are Italy vs Switzerland and Turkey vs Austria.
On paper, Germany, Spain and France are favorite clubs considering the depth of the squad they have, but France struggle looks tougher because they have to face Belgium. Next, I personally think the favorite teams to qualify for the next round there is Italy Italy, England, the Netherlands and Portugal. As for Austria versus Türkiye, personally I'm a little undecided, but Austria seems more worthy of being the favorite. Of course, these predictions can be completely or partially wrong, but I think some predictions will go according to expectations.

It is possible that non-seeded teams will play beyond predictions, they could make a surprise, because after all their ambitions and opportunities are equally open. If you look at the course of the Euro this time, and look at the strength of the favorite teams, it looks like Italy will have difficulty retaining the trophy. We'll see how the round of 16 matches roll out, who knows, the teams that are favorites to qualify for the quarter final will be eliminated early.

Austria shouldn't be underestimated at all. They are pretty much likely to eliminate us first in last 16. They are playing more systematically unlike us. We just need to get very lucky against them as long as we continue the same.  Sad

I even see Austria like they can reach at least the semi finals. Just look at this side of this round:



It is way better than the part with teams like Germany, France and many more. If they beat us I don't see any reason not to beat Netherlands once again or do it against Romania either.

I also think this side is easier, England and Italy have escaped from the other side. But I have to say that they are very out of form in the tournament, they might not even make it to the quarter finals. So I don't think it would be a surprise for anyone if Switzerland eliminates Italy. England are struggling for goals, Slovakia could surprise here. I don't think Romania should be underestimated either, you can't just say that the Netherlands are the favorites. Austria is one of the teams playing the best football in the tournament. In terms of names, there is no favorite country in this side, but in terms of games, there are teams that will do well in the final. This side will be really exciting and competitive.
As it stands now, am very open to any suprises that might happen in this competition because all what I am seeing in this competition is just suprises but there is still the fact that it was just the group stages and these teams might just up their game abit and do the needful and eliminate the smaller teams. But the case of betting on these games one need to be very careful cause the unexpected is what is showing all over this round of 16.
