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.

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.

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 think there will be extra time for the France vs Belgium match. Indeed, that is a consequence when both of them draw in normal time, but considering that France has many quality players, what I believe is that they can win the match in 90 minutes. Of course you can make choices that you think have a high probability such as a draw in normal times, but I'm not sure that will be true.

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.

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.

Based on the squad depth of each team, it feels like France has better squad depth compared to Belgium. I agree that this match will be tough for both of them, but both teams should be able to score goals throughout the match. We never know for sure what happens in the end, but my prediction is that France can qualify for the quarter-finals by beating Belgium during normal time.

But first, don't miss the match between Switzerland and Italy. Both teams have performed well so far in the group stage which has led them to the round of 16. Italy has a good defense, but Switzerland is really good on the other side. The game strategies of the two are different, that's why the goal productivity is different.

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.

I would say Germany performed very well in all three matches. Because I watched all three matches of Germany. In the first match, the German team won 5-1 against Scotland. Despite not winning the second match by a large margin, Germany won 2-0 against Hungary. Even though Germany drew 1-1 against Switzerland in the last match, I would say that Germany's players performed very well in this match as well. I saw in this match that Switzerland played a bad defensive strategy after scoring the first goal of the match. Because of this, it was very difficult for Germany to score in the match. However, Germany managed to draw the match.

Germany will play against Denmark in the knockout round. Germany team is stronger than Denmark and Germany is in good form. I think Germany will win this match.

I think that the safest bet will be 1X (Germany wins or otherwise - draw).

By the way, what do you guys think about quarter-finals?
I think that the quarter-final in Stuttgart will be: Spain vs Germany.
Quarter-final in Hamburg will be: Portugal vs France.
Quarter-final in Berlin will be: Turkey vs Netherlands.
Quarter-final in Düsseldorf will be: England vs Italy.

By the way, this Euro is something that I have never seen. Slovakia beating Belgium, Georgia beating Portugal, who could possibly imagine?
What do you mean by quarter finals? there are no guarantees Turkey and Italy will win lol. Austria and Switzerland played better than them, Turkey and Italy only win in popularity. Turkey has Super Lig and Italy has Serie A, while Austria league isn't that popular, however many of Austrian players are playing in Germany Bundesliga, so don't underestimate them.

Slovakia and Georgia pull an upset is almost impossible, they're weaker than their opponents.

Sorry, I actually thought the odds between Turkey and Italy were 50:50, but I admit that Austria is a very strong team and can even be a team that goes further. On the other hand, Georgia and Slovakia, for me, also think the chances remain the same, considering that England, no matter how ideal the squad composition is, but with the quality of coach Southgate, the England team could fall in the round of 16. Georgia faces Spain, of course it can be easier to win, but Georgia also has the potential to give a surprise.

So anything can happen, because the bets are on quarter-final tickets so that teams that are considered weak in the round of 16 can use all their energy to get through.

No one would have bet a penny on Georgia, when instead the big teams, France, Italy, Spain are really disappointing.
Now I don't want to be controversial, but this is the result of having made a mess of the youth springs. Unfortunately it can't be fixed in the short term.

This was Georgia first time qualifying and nobody would had thought they will advance from the group stage but they did, beating Portugal was another surprise but Portugal did not play with their full squad and used a weaker team but still Georgia beating a team that has Ronaldo was impressive and I think they are going to advance from the round of 16. The way the Euros has being good, I still see some underdog going far because the big nations are not playing like the big nation. Every team is just being relaxed and not playing nice football. France has not scored a goal from open play, England are just being England that everybody will hype them to win but will not be able to do anything. Teams like Georgia are the teams making the tournament worth watching because they are playing good football.

It is now impossible to predict with certainty which team will win the Round of 16 matches. In group stage matches we have seen renowned and big teams not able to play well. Big teams like England, Italy, France and Netherlands won only one match in the group stage. Among the renowned teams, apart from Spain and Germany, I don't think any other team has performed well.

Italy and Turkey are more likely to win against Switzerland and Austria. But we cannot say for sure that these two teams will win. Because in group stage I don't see very good performance from Turkiye and Italy players. So it wouldn't be surprising if Italy and Turkey lost against Switzerland and Austria.
This doesn't mean that the team isn't playing well, but it must be admitted that the competition is currently quite fierce, several teams have almost the same strength so it is quite difficult to predict, even though the team is the favorite, that doesn't happen. guaranteed they will win easily.

In the round of 16, I think there will be some surprises, like what happened in the group phase.
I will only favor Germany, Spain and France to win easily in the round of 16, the rest is nothing.
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.

In the round of 16 there could indeed be another surprise because considering that there are still many strong teams in each session and I will favor the Italian, English and Portuguese teams in the round of 16 of Euro 2024 this time because these three teams have also fought very well in this phase. group and will continue to try to be better in the round of 16 even though several other teams should not be underestimated, especially the three teams you mentioned.
All teams that have qualified for the round of 16 of course cannot be underestimated, because after all the existing teams of course have great ambitions to be able to go far in this year euro, it is not wrong indeed to favor the big teams to advance to the round of 8 and even further to the finals, but I think we also cannot underestimate the non-seeded teams that have been able to perform quite surprisingly so far like Turkey,  Switzerland, Romania and Austria, of the four teams, of course, Turkey and Austria have a great chance to be able to surprise all of us, because throughout the group stage they were able to perform quite well and very consistently in their matches.

Of the big teams, Spain and Germany are teams that have performed quite well so far, so I think both teams have everything they need to be able to reach a higher phase in this year euro, besides those two teams of course I hope that Turkey and Austria can be one of the teams that may be able to get third place in this year euro.

I find the Germany-Denmark matchup good in terms of rivalry. The struggle of these 2 teams will give a different pleasure. Denmark is good defensively while Germany is strong offensively. I wonder what the outcome of this match will be. There could be too many goals in the match and it could end in a boring match. Germany has a better chance of winning because it is at home.
I think that the safest bet will be 1X (Germany wins or otherwise - draw).

This your prediction for the quarter-final looks good on the surface, but we all know that football is way deeper than this, you saw the results and how surprising some of the results went, so how sure are you that Belgium will lose against France, how also are you sure that Portugal will win Slovenia giving the fact that they lost against Georgia. So my point is that, the results coming out of this competition is too unbelievable for you outline this permutations you've already put out,  though it looks nice but is highly unlikely.

Thank Goodness you've said it yourself that, the Euro is something that you have never seen, for Slovakia to beat Belgium and the rest you listed, so it points to the fact that we should be ready for more unbelievable results as the underdogs teams will surely shake the tables.

I can't agree with you, despite having strong squads we are not seeing good performances from these teams. England, France and Italy all have very strong squads. And most of the players in these teams play in all the renowned clubs in Europe. This is why fans naturally have high expectations from these teams. But these parties have failed to fulfill this expectation.

However, the teams will definitely try to perform better in the knockout round. These parties have the potential to do well. If the coach's match strategy is good then we will see better performance from England, France and Italy players in future.

I do not understand how the Euro is actually going and where it is going to end. I must surely say that my expectations were not met during the group stages. The countries that I expected will have express qualification have to struggle to qualify. The few under dogs made it even easier to qualify from the group matches. This has actually made me lose confidence on the next steps. I do not believe country like England to make it past this quarter finals and I also do not believe country like France to make it, but in the real sense these are the countries with the best squads.
I will really need to watch the quarter final stages before I will know what to predict about these matches. The only two countries that I know have been exceptional is Germany and Spain, although countries like Portugal showed high inclination but the defeat they recorded was not expected.

As I mentioned before in my previous posts, even before the Euro starts, I said we are going to witness many surprises, many teams now are playing better than the usual dominant teams. Taking your examples of what happened in groups stage, everything now is possible to happen. However, I would expect another performance and level appear from the known teams and highly anticipated advancing to the next stages.

For the next play offs, here are my predictions:
Italy winning against Switzerland; (2-1)
Germany winning against Denmark; (2-0)
England winning against Slovakia; (3-0)
Spain winning against Georgia; (1-0)
France winning against Belgium; (2-1)
Portugal winning against Slovenia; (2-0)

At this stage I wouldn’t risk that much on betting, as long as we are not seeing the same performance from all teams here, it is tricky to predict the future outcomes, probably it is better to bet on number of goals or winners after extra time and penalties.

I was particularly impressed by how effortlessly Germany progressed through the group stage compared to the other major clubs in Euro 024, but Denmark has a strong head-to-head record versus Germany, despite the fact that their current squads are so different. And I believe Germany will completely dominate the game against the Germans. 

I only anticipated defensive gameplay from Denmark. Germany has been fairly consistent in the group stage, so this will not be a difficult game for them considering denmark was not even able secured three points in the group stage. Denmak never managed to win a single game in the group stage, though they also never lost three points. Finally, Germany appears to be far more powerful than Denmark. 
Germany is the team that can get the second highest points after Spain at the end of this group stage standings. They are also the most productive country in scoring goals, they scored a total of 8 goals in this group stage, and they conceded 2 goals. In fact, previously we knew that Germany was a country that was considered to have failed a bit in regenerating after their heyday. However, their current coach has decided to call up the senior players again and I think that is a good decision and it has had a positive impact.

Denmark have never won at all, but they have also never lost and have achieved a draw in all the matches they have played and what is unique is that they managed to escape by achieving the same points and goal productivity as Slovenia. Yes, in group C they succeeded in placing 3 representatives in the knockout round because in this group they managed to become the 3rd best.

I am the same as you who predicts that Germany will dominate this match. The reason is that I see nothing special about Denmark apart from their defense which is quite solid.

How much are you confident with your quarter finalists? I agree with your choices while being unsure about 2 specific teams: Turkey and Italy.

If you have watched Turkey so far they haven't been performing consistently. Even in the matches they won we were feeling it. They lack in defense area a lot and Austria are a very challenging team at the moment, one of the bests of the competition.  Sad  I hope we can defeat Austria somehow but I have high doubts also.

Italy are really in bad shape. They aren't playing like they won Euro 2020. They were able to do nothing against Spain and I can't talk positive about the Croatia match either. Switzerland look better now.

This is because Belgium aren't the same anymore. They had a horrible group stage. Georgia defeated Portugal thanks to Portugal's not caring about the match much after securing the 1st place. They had a rotation in their lineup.  Smiley
