Spain - Czech Republic
EURO 2016 - Group D
13/06/2016 16:00 EET
These two rivals will definitely pursue victory and thus continue forward in the tournament, and increase their chances before their remaining two matches of the group stage of the race. Both teams have great players available and this will definitely make the game interesting and dynamic. So my forecast for the game is
over 2.5 goals in it.
Spain seeks a third consecutive title at the European Championship!
Spain is the European champion of the last two editions of the continental championships. Fury la Rocha has already changed a lot compared with the composition, which ruled over world football between 2008 and 2012, winning two European and one world title.
Precisely because of the many changes and new names in the team sentiment in Spain that La Fourier might not defend his trophy. Perhaps that is why the Spanish Federation decided to offer a strong financial incentive - a record premium of € 340,000 per person for a third consecutive title.
Regardless of the new names that Spain remains the core of Barcelona, who despite dropping the quarter-finals in the Champions League for many remains the best team in the world.
The biggest concern is attack. Diego Costa was out through injury, so the composition of practice there are only two pure strikers - Aris Aduriz, who is 35 years old and inexperienced Moran (23). Significantly, the scorer of the team in qualifying was Paco Alkaser not find a place even in the enlarged team. Because coaching decision out of the squad surprisingly still Juan Mata and Isko and Fernando Torres.
However, in qualifying Spaniards registered 9 wins and only 1 loss in 10 games, recording eight clean sheets and comfortably won their group C.
Coach Vicente del Bosque has no problems with injuries, as his biggest dilemma will be which among David de Gea and Iker Casillas to stand in the doorway.
Czech Republic with the weakest defense before Euro 2016!
Czech Republic take full advantage of the crisis in the Netherlands and finished first in the qualification group after 7-1-2 and goal difference 19:14. Both defeats were by teams who also qualified at Euro 2016 - Iceland 1: 2 as guests from Turkey 0: 2 at home.
Worrying more about Czechs is that they have not recorded a single clean sheet in siftings, conceding most goals away from all teams.
Many believe that the presentation of 33-year-old watchman Arsenal Petr Cech will depend classification of the Czech Republic for the second phase of Euro 2016. He played on the last three championships on the continent and has extensive experience against the best strikers in the world of matches not only at the level of national teams, but also from those at club level.
This is the first match of Group D of the championship. So far performance is quite low and dominated defeat by one goal difference.
In qualifying for last Euro champion Spain took two wins with 2: 0 and 2: 1. Now again expected victory for the Spaniards, although not attached or embedded among the favorites.
The Czechs, however, should not be underestimated. Have good composition and could be the surprise of the tournament.
The last three were controls to Czech Republic with over 2.5 goals in matches, but two of the last three checks Spaniards covered this line.
I expect, in spite of previous fights to get quite effective match. Spain "retained" the score in the final control of this championship, having fallen from Georgia 0: 1.
In Group D of Euro 2016 will play the teams of Spain and the Czech Republic. Both teams have played only two matches together in 2011 both won by the Spanish team 2-1 and 2-0.
The team of Spain has 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss played last meeting of the preparatory stage before this tournament.
While the team of Czechs have 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses.
Definitely the team with classes over the other is that of Spain. Czech footballers will try to do something (eg X) in this game, but it will happen if the Spaniards have day.
The main objective of Spain is, of course, the title.
I look attack after attack on Spain, which is associated with many disorders, and hence cards for the Czechs.
Spain are the current European champions and will try to become the first team in history to win the tournament three consecutive times. Many years since Spain does not enter as the favorite for the gold medal and pressure is not upon them that they may be useful to achieve another remarkable triumph.
Spain qualified for the finals by losing only three of 30 possible points in qualifying. In this group, however, it will not be easy, because apart from the Czech Republic are still teams of Croatia and Turkey. Vicente del Bosque made some surprising decisions regarding the composition and one of them is leaving Paco Alkaser outside the team. Valencia striker was the top scorer of "La Fourier" in qualifying with five goals. In their last friendly Spain conceded home defeat by Georgia 0: 1, which was not well received by the fans. They will be hoping that this is just a temporary collapse, as they won their previous two friendlies 3-1 and 6-1 respectively against Bosnia and Herzegovina and South Korea.
The Czech team will hope if it fails to fight for second place, it ranked eighth-finals as one of the four best third teams. Coach Pavel Vrba has many experienced players in his squad. It will rely mostly on Petr Cech, Tomas Rosicky and Jaroslav Plašil with a total 324 appearances for the national team.
In qualifying the Czech Republic were one of the most effective teams, with a total of 33 goals in 10 games. At Euro 2016, they should significantly improve your game in defense, because otherwise you will be punished. Petr Cech goalkeeper is world class and he will have to be in top form to stop a Spanish attack that scored 23 goals in qualifying. Czech Republic scored 19 goals in the qualifying round, but lack a top striker. Tomáš Necid is the man who will likely be tasked to lead the attack team and will have to deal with Gerard Pique and Sergio Ramos.
The last time these two teams met was in 2011, Spain won 2: 0 thanks to goals from Juan Mata and Xabi Alonso. Currently both are not under the "La Fourier", but again they are the class team and expect to win the opening match in Toulouse.
That's the European Champion comes into play. Does the title of "red fury" defense or not, but the fact that the wards Del Bosque will again be in the main display - no doubt about it. If the team does not get guys like Torres, Diego Costa, Isco - it speaks about the rich choice of mentor. Generational change is in Spanish and it is painful to pass or not, will this tournament. Judging by the friendly matches in Spain, there is no problem. Czechs before the start of EURO beat the Russian team and lifted the spirits themselves. But to play against Spain is a different matter. If you scored Kokorin, it really Morata and Pedro have scored exactly. To some extent the Czechs and were lucky that they otmuchalis immediately with the Spaniards, and after in-person duels with the Croats and Turks will fight for a way out of the group.
Because the Spaniards started to prepare for the Euro, it became clear that the "fury Roja" goes not just for rehabilitation for the failure of the world championship in Brazil, and set up one of the greatest records that are unlikely to someone else someday submit - to win three European Cup in a row.
Vicente Del Bosque has brought the guys in the Austrian mountains, where they gained form and honed interaction in friendly games. A bit let down by the fact that the players of Atletico and Real Madrid have played in the Champions League final, but given that those typed all four, it becomes a problem for the defending champion.
Spaniards are very important to start the tournament with a win and not just to feel confident in their abilities. Calendar group stage dictates the rules, if the "fury Roja" suddenly did not win the first match, then it is generally not at risk to leave the group. Croats and Turks can present a sensation as in the recent 2004, the Danes and the Swedes left behind playoff "Azzurri". In addition to this, three points in the upcoming bout, can be a good guarantee of first place, which gives a lot more privileges in the tournament grid than the line below.
Spain - Czech Republic: the predicted squads
Spain: De Gea - Juanfran, Pique, Ramos, Alba - Busquets, Fabregas, Koke - Iniesta, Morata, Silva
Czech Republic: Cech - Selassie, Suchy, Kadlec, Kaderzhabek - Darida, Pavelka -Kreychi, Plasil, Shura - Necid
Spare:
Spain: Casillas, Rico, Bartra, Azpilicueta, bellerin, San Jose, Soriano, Alcantara, Aduriz, Nolito, Vázquez, Pedro
Czech Republic: Vatslik, Koubek, Gubnik, Limberský, Pudil, Sivok, Dočkal, Kolář, Rosicky, Lafata, Skoda, Skalak
Czechs are very well established in the selection, coming out is not the easiest group. Czech national team game, very similar to the game of capital Sparta. All players are well prepared physically, and try to force the opponent athletic football, with a clear bias towards the attack. In a similar style to play against the Spaniards, it will be incredibly difficult, if you wish, such prefabricated - a tasty morsel for guys Vicente Del Bosque.
Remembering a friendly match against the Russian team, you can easily remember a single moment when our players with the quick pass left no inheritance entire Czech defense. What then happens when instead of conventional Shatov and Kokorin, Iniesta and Silva will. How would the Czechs have not tried in this game, the tournament makes its own rules, you can remember, the Spaniards almost always unattractive started any group stage, picking up a form already in the course. But now, this should not be too much is at stake and too long Spain waiting for a chance to wash away their shame.
Football betting tip: Over 2.5 goals
Home win
Ireland - Sweden
EURO 2016 - Group E
13/06/2016 19:00 EET
On Monday at 19:00 in the first match of Euro 2016 against each other on the green carpet face national teams of Ireland and Sweden. These two opponents definitely know how to play attacking football and open and available pretty quality performers and this will surely make their games interesting to watch. Positions and the two doors will be missing and fans of both teams will not be disappointed by what he saw for sure. So my forecast is for close match and over 1.5 goals in him.
Ireland without stars but with a team of Euro 2016!
Republic of Ireland had some difficulties in qualifying (5-3-2, GR 19: 7), but finished with three successes in their last 4 games, one of which even managed to break Germany 1: 0 at home in Dublin.
Boys Martin O'Neill gave a 1: 0 away to Poland in the last match, but already had in its assets enough points to qualify in the playoffs where we had to argue with Bosnia and Herzegovina for a place at Euro 2016. Green army out X 1: 1 in Bosnia and the second leg in Dublin rejoices with 2: 0 after goals from Jonathan Walters and thus sealed his place of Eurofinal.
In Ireland team no superstars but for goalkeeper Shay Given and striker Robbie Keane are the last major tournament of participating. They will most likely start on the bench because under the frame holder is expected to be Darren Randolph, the hero of the victory over Germany, and the attack will rely on swift feet of Shane Long.
Sweden relies heavily on Zlatan Ibrahimovic!
Sweden registered 5-3-2 (GR 15: 9) in the not too strong qualifying group and took third place. In barrage Swedes had Scandinavian obstacle in the face of Denmark. They won their household with 2: 1 and reached a draw 2: 2 defendant in collision with a total score of 4: 3 earned his place among the European elite.
Sweden will rely for goals this summer mostly superstar in attack Zlatan Ibrahimovic. 34-year-old striker became the scorer of his country during qualifying with eight goals and also scored 3 of the 4 goals in the barrages.
Chief referee of the match will be Milorad Mazhich from Serbia.
Ireland was not very convincing at the controls before the start of the tournament. Boys Martin O'Neill ended 1: 1 with Holland, then recorded a surprise defeat by Belarus 1: 2. Bad news for the coaching staff to Ireland after these matches is trauma, which received the team captain - Robbie Keane. LA Galaxy striker but resumed workouts in recent days and is expected to be online for the match with Sweden. However, the place of Robbie Keane in attack is uncertain because of the good performances of ramming Southampton - Shane Long. Others who have mild problems with injuries before the start of Euro 2016 are Jonathan Walters and Robbie Brady.
Probable teams: Darren Randolph, Seamus Coleman, John O'Shea, Kieran Clark, Robbie Brady, James Although Glenn Whelan, Jeff Hendrick, Wes Hulahan, Jonathan Walters, Shane Long;
But in the French fields reappears great and terrible Zlatan Ibrahimovic. From it we can expect a masterpiece and celebration. All the same, most likely, a Swede spends his last big tournament for his team. Although, who knows, maybe in Russia, it remains to be seen. Irish in this group look outsiders. If Robbie Keane still not be able to end the trauma to heal, then attack the green will be a big problem. Star men in these teams there is little, but the Swedes have Ibra and why they are favorites in this game. True if snapper Wernbloom retire because of his intemperance, the Irish may roll Scandinavians. I think the game will not be spectacular.
The Swedes and the Irish are not much different in terms of the game vision. Both teams rely on are not too intricate game, preferring to rely on the power aspects of the discipline and, therefore, the upcoming fight, can safely be called a battle of two of the Vikings.
The main difference between the Swedes - is the presence of a superstar, in the face of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. There is little doubt that the whole game, "Tre Kronor" is sharpened on the skill of the Parisian giants, for whom the tournament is likely to last at international level. Needless to say that Zlatan wants to prove himself and at least reach the playoffs.
Aside from Ibra, in the "yellow-blue", you can pay attention to the young Victor Lindelfa, Jon Guidetti and Oscar Hilermaka. The first of the season has become the main defender of Benfica and went with her to the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Second, after the European Youth Championship, it is one of the most talented central strikers in the world and heir Ibrahimovic in the team. And last, opened this year in Palermo and like no other sitsilitsev pretends to upgrade to business class.
Sweden - Ireland projected squads
Sweden: Isaksson - Olsson, Lindelf, Johansson, Lustig - Larsson, Wernbloom, Hilermak, Zengin - Berg, Ibrahimovic
Ireland: Randolph - Coleman, Clarke, O'Shea, Brady - McCarthy, McClean, Whelan, McGeady - Walters - Long
Spare
Sweden Olsen Carlgren, Augustinsson, Jansson, Granqvist, Durmaz, Ekdal, Lewicki, Forsberg, Chelstrem, Kujović, Guidetti
Ireland: Given, Westwood, Christie, KIOGE, Duffy, Ward, Hendrik, Mailer, Quinn, Hoolahan, Keane, Murphy
The path of "green" is very similar to the way the Scandinavians in France. They also took third place in his sextet and then passed in the joints dismantled Bosnians, with the only difference being that the Irish were few who believed before the start of the qualifying stage.
If at the last European Cup Ireland landed the group of death, which, as we learned later, there were two finalists Spain and Italy, and very strong Croats, now all a bit more successful. It is clear that the Belgians would be incredibly difficult, but to play on equal terms with the same Italy, which is seriously anemic lack of strong offensive performers possible. And even more so, it refers to the "Tre Kronor", driven to the Euro is one of the weakest compositions in the last four of the tournament. The Irish are still in the selection proved that they can take their own, thanks to his indomitable will, but for the Swedes, more than there was - he gave the ball to Zlatan think of something. Given that the Swedish giant is little remembered in major tournaments, it is unlikely he will shoot and now in his old age. The winner of this match, in fact automatically gets the third place and a chance to play in pely-off. Therefore, contrary to the usual cautious scenario in the first rounds, we have to witness the battle between two equal teams, which have to take three points.
Interesting Facts About Ireland:
Ireland qualified for the third time in the European Championship, and has never passed the group stage. In 2012, Green recorded 3 losses;
The biggest success in the history of Ireland is reaching the quarter-finals of the World Cup in 1990;
Place in France, Ireland sealed after success over Bosnia and Herzegovina in the barrages with a total score 3: 1;
Sweden also had slight fluctuations in the controls, failing to beat Slovenia and ended 0: 0. But then Tre krunur was uncompromising and smashed strong team of Wales 3: 0. Boys Eric Hamra seem well prepared for the tournament and is aimed at the stage of eliminations. As always a major role in Sweden will have Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Master of Tre krunur will be a major threat to the opposing defense, in attack is expected to help him Marcus Berg.
Probable teams: Andreas Isaksson, Mikael Lustig, Andreas Grankvist, Nielsen Lindelof, Martin Olsson, Jimmy Durmaz, Kim Kalstryom, Albin expert positions Emil Forsberg, Marcus Berg, Zlatan Ibrahimovic;
Interesting facts about Sweden:
Sweden started fifth consecutive European Championship and sixth overall. Tre krunur not overcome the group stage since 2004 when the game quarter-final;
The biggest success in the history of Sweden lost the final of the home World Cup in 1958 with a 5: 2 from Brazil;
Sweden also secure a place in France in the barrages, which overcame Denmark with a total score of 4: 3;
Zlatan Ibrahimovic became the second scorer of the qualifiers with 11 goals, 3 of them came to the barrages;
Ireland and Sweden are located in one of the toughest groups in the company of Italy and Belgium. In view of this experienced coaches of both teams know that loss starts may be detrimental to their ambitions. We expect tactical outwitting between Martin O'Neill and Eric Hamra, which may affect the effectiveness of the fight.
Football betting tip: Over 1.5 goals
Home win or draw
Under 2.5 goals
Both teams to score
Ecuador - Haiti
Copa America Centenario - Group B
13/06/2016 01:30 EET
Recent matches of the group stage of the Copa America.
Here almost nothing to analyze because so far both teams have played one game. He was friendly, making it covers my prediction, namely three goals for Ecuador.
Symbolic hosts in this game require a mandatory victory if they want to move on.
Another issue that may need the better goal difference. Their first match will be played tonight and will not know how you do Brazil and Peru. An equal there and win Ecuador will entangled ranking. Then in the foreground comes out goal difference.
Brazilians crushed Haiti and most likely they will continue until Peru they had only 1: 0. Victory with two goals difference will be sufficient to Ecuador to continue in such a scenario.
To have security and there is no tension late in the game, I foresee at least three goals scored for Ecuador and continuing to the quarterfinals.
Football betting tip: Over 2.5 goals for Ecuador
Belgium - Italy
EURO 2016 - Group E
13/06/2016 22:00 EET
Expectations Belgium at Euro 2016 are great!
Belgium, which is second in the FIFA rankings, is a team with very strong personalities and according to all experts will play a leading role in the European Cup. In attack there are great players who can punish any team - Azar, De Seebrig, Carrasco Mertens, Lukaku, Benteke and belching are only part of the offensive power of the Reds.
An additional incentive for the team is that the Belgians will collect the highest premiums of all in case of winning the European title - at € 700,000 per person. For comparison, the French internationals federation pledged € 300,000 of cap in the Euro 2016 title.
Belgium finished first qualifying group after 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss and goal difference 24: 5.
Captain Belgian Eden Hazard a slight injury during Friday's workout, but is expected to be available for the match. Thomas Vermaelen is also recovered from his injury.
Everton striker Romelu Lukaku (2.87 to score against Italy) is expected to lead the attack on Belgium during Euro 2016. The 23-year-old marksman scored 25 goals for the Toffees in all competitions last season and recently scored in control national team against Portugal.
Italy will rely on its strong defense!
Italy has always singed among the favorites regardless of the form in which it is located. Euro 2016, of course, is no exception. Moreover squadra Azzurri qualify easily for the tournament, and did not allow any loss in qualifying (7-3-0, GR 16: 7). Thanks to its strong defense team can go far, but question marks remain over the attack and midfield.
A curious fact is that squadra Azzurri is the team with the most draws in the history of Eurofinal (15) and also has the most draws zero (8).
In Conte effectiveness is modest - a total of 10 wins 5 with 1: 0, only once had crossed elevation 2 (with 3: 1 against Azerbaijan). For Italy, this is not alarming, historically, even usual, but rather a surprise convincing success.
The most expensive player team estimated a central defender Leonardo Bonucci and the biggest star of the team is 38-year-old goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.
Buffon inspires the confidence of defenders in front of him, but the fact that most of them are teammates in Juventus is an additional plus. From there, however, it remains an open question whether squadra Azzurri will be able to make every game something from nothing and get away with 2-3 clear chances per game.
However, the team was hit by injuries to key players. In midfield opened hole after the accounts of Antonio Conte dropped Claudio Marchisio and Marco Verratti.
French terrain Conte must squeeze the most out of stock, which on the one hand, there are no big stars, and the other is in search of its identity.
Formulations of Belgium and Italy in Group E of Euro 2016 will play another match of the tournament.
I expect an interesting match in which the team of Belgium in any case does not go as "doomed." With stars like Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku, Kevin December Bruyne and the outcome of this meeting remains a mystery.
Symbolic hosts have 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in their last 6 matches. In one of these meetings 13/11/2015, Belgium has overcome namely Italy in a friendly match at home 3-1, in the second half has over 1.5 goals.
Yes, they have played the match without any importance, but with class players like Belgian can beat any team. Except in this meeting even 2 of those 6 games have goals in the second half.
The Italian team have in their last 6 games - 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. In four of these matches has over 1.5 goals in the second half.
I expect interesting and dynamic game and let the better win.
The two leaders in Group E will start with hard match each other.
Interestingly, between the two teams Belgium is the bigger favorite to win Euro 2016 compared to Italy. And it seems far from unreasonable, considering the state of both teams and their performances in recent years. Belgians made a great World Cup two years ago, and then this "golden generation" was considered a relatively young and inexperienced team. Two years later, these guys seem far more experienced, with more experience and already with a degree of confidence built up after World. Inevitably they are expected to make a strong tournament here.
For symbolic guests will only determine the missing key players due to injuries or other reasons. Team Italy does not seem on paper so classy, as we used to see them. Their shape friendlies is not impressive, which failed to win any of the more powerful rivals, and that's what you need here. However, we never have to count the composition of Italy, just look for things they are not so rosy at the moment. Moreover, the famous Italian defense with a team that prides itself seems more shaken than normal.
Expect heavy match in this important match for both teams - the group is quite heavy and 3 points from the match between the two favorites it would put the winner in a pretty strong position. However, I think that Belgium seems the better team here - expect at least a point for them. In November, the Belgians beat Italy in a friendly match with 3-1 and it would gave them confidence that this far more important match can go back to victory. Nevertheless, more cautious bets.
Without exaggeration, the central meeting of the first round group stage, silver medalists Italians come into the fight with one of the tournament favorites, the Belgians.
It may well be that the current tournament final to mentor "Red Devils", so it would be logical to carry out his master properly. Marc Wilmots has got the golden generation of Belgian football and if he will show all his coaching profession, you no doubt will be able to achieve with this team, something more than the output in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.
The current Belgium - is, above all, attack and attack again, but this time the circumstances are added so that the coaching staff will have to reconsider their tactics. First and most importantly, why you should do this, a strong bias in favor of attacking players, as it was the world championship in Brazil. Second - Lombaerts injured and Kompany, who clearly held the line between defense and attack. Now, in defense of the four Belgian central defender that death will stand at the gate and only occasionally connect to the creative act. On the one hand, it will reduce the pressure on the gates of the enemy, and on the other, make it more reliable back line. Personally, my opinion that a reliable rear is more important than excessive advantage on the front.
Belgium - Italy: projected squads
Belgium: Courtois - Alderweireld, Denayer, Vermaelen, Vertonghen - Fellaini, Naynggolan - Azar, Witzel, De Bruyne - Lukaku
Italy: Buffon - Florence, Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini, darmian - De Rossi, Motta, Giaccherini - Pellet, Eder
Spare
Belgium: Minole, Gillet, Boyata, J. Lukaku, Meunier, Kabasele, Seaman, Dembele, Ferreira-Carrasco, Mertens, Batshuayi, origami.
Italy: Marchetti, Sirigu, Ogbonna, Candreva, passwords, Stephan El Shaarawy, Mattia De Sciglio, Sturaro, Bernardeski, zazen, Immobile, Lorenzo Insigne
Italy goes to the European Cup without knowing that it is there waiting. "Azzurri" has the best defense in the tournament, a good support area and dreaded the front line. Yes, there were times when the Italians lacked, and this set of performers, but they have always had a great striker or trekvartista, but in the present team is not such.
From all this, it can be fairly simple, but comprehensive conclusion, Italy is doing what she is best of all it turns out, for several decades in a row - to play defensively. It makes no sense to reinvent the wheel and take risks when there is the good old "catenaccio", just so, looking at the game, "Azzurri" in friendly matches reasoned Antonio Conte, so hail balls from the Italians in this game is not worth the wait. Team recently met each other and then the landslide, on account of the game and the victory won wards Wilmots. I think now the Belgians agree on such an outcome, but it is true that they are unlikely to refuse to paint the world, with one of the most renowned teams in the world and the current vice-champion of the tournament.
Chief referee of the match will be Mark Clattenburg of England.
Belgium won two of his three starts over the controls before the tournament against Norway (3: 2) and Switzerland (2: 1) and drew with Finland (1: 1). Before the start of Euro 2016, Mark Vilmots no serious personnel problems with composition. Thomas Vermaelen is doubtful for the match against Italy and if not restored in the starting line-up will start Jordan Lukaku. In attack, it seems that it will rely on Romelu Lukaku and the bench will remain targets three central strikers - Divock Origi, Christian Benteke and Mitchie Batsui. In midfield it will have no place for midfielder Tottenham - Moussa Dembele and it will remain the reserve.
Probable teams: Thibaut Courtois, Toby Alderveyreld, Jason Denayer, Jan Vergongen, Jordan Lukaku, Marouane Fellaini, Axel Witsel, Raja Naigolan, Kevin De Bruyne, Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku;
The Italians, though considered to EURO favorites I would not do that. Conte nachudil course, taking Pirlo. If injured verratti, Montolivo, Marchisio, Pirlo the veteran must be taken, but Conte did what he did. Let's see if he was right. The Italians do not play bright and at times in the match created 2 point Pirlo and could decide the outcome with the standard of the game. The Belgians have dropped out of the company and Lombaerts, that is, the problem outlined in the defense. But this Belgium team that at times recalls about defense. The main forces in wards Wilmots collected in the attacking line. Hazard, Lukaku, Benteke, origami arrange antiquity Buffon lovely evening. From these games are waiting for the beautiful game and an abundance of goals, but is likely to see a lot of struggle and dull draw.
Interesting facts about Belgium:
This is the first participation of Belgium in an Euro championship since 2000 when together with host the Netherlands and fifth in history;
The biggest success for the Reds was in 1980 when they lost in the final of the European Championship West Germany;
Italy arrived in France in a good mood after success in controls against Scotland (1: 0) and Finland (2: 0). Many spetsialistiti did not put the Azzurri among the favorites because of the lack of big stars in the team of Antonio Conte. Future at Chelsea will rely heavily on his former players at Juventus - Gianluigi Buffon, Leonardo Bonucci, Andrea Barzagli and Giorgio Chiellini, who will have the task to get ahead in the tournament. Offensively, Italy has high hopes of Eder and Graziano Pelle.
Group E: Belgium - Italy Euro 2016
Probable teams: Gianluigi Buffon, Leonardo Bonucci, Andrea Barzagli, Giorgio Chiellini, Matteo Darmian, Antonio Candreva, Alessandro Florence, Thiago Motta, Daniele De Rossi, Graziano Pelle, Eder;
Interesting facts about Italy:
This is the ninth part of Italy in the European Cup and sixth in a row, as the Azzurri last missed the tournament in 1992, held in Sweden;

Italy has not won the opening match of the last three European championships. Azzurri won their first match of the tournament for the last time in 2000 when Turkey defeated.
Belgium has great players and accidentally singed hidden among the favorites in the tournament. Italy itself has problems and will rely primarily on strong defense. Belgians are more active team of Stade De Lyon would not be surprised if you leave with a prestigious victory on the way to elimination.
Football betting tip: Home win (draw no bet)
Over 1.5 goals at second-half
Italy to score 1 goal or less
EURO 2016 - Group D
13/06/2016 16:00 EET
These two rivals will definitely pursue victory and thus continue forward in the tournament, and increase their chances before their remaining two matches of the group stage of the race. Both teams have great players available and this will definitely make the game interesting and dynamic. So my forecast for the game is
over 2.5 goals in it.
Spain seeks a third consecutive title at the European Championship!
Spain is the European champion of the last two editions of the continental championships. Fury la Rocha has already changed a lot compared with the composition, which ruled over world football between 2008 and 2012, winning two European and one world title.
Precisely because of the many changes and new names in the team sentiment in Spain that La Fourier might not defend his trophy. Perhaps that is why the Spanish Federation decided to offer a strong financial incentive - a record premium of € 340,000 per person for a third consecutive title.
Regardless of the new names that Spain remains the core of Barcelona, who despite dropping the quarter-finals in the Champions League for many remains the best team in the world.
The biggest concern is attack. Diego Costa was out through injury, so the composition of practice there are only two pure strikers - Aris Aduriz, who is 35 years old and inexperienced Moran (23). Significantly, the scorer of the team in qualifying was Paco Alkaser not find a place even in the enlarged team. Because coaching decision out of the squad surprisingly still Juan Mata and Isko and Fernando Torres.
However, in qualifying Spaniards registered 9 wins and only 1 loss in 10 games, recording eight clean sheets and comfortably won their group C.
Coach Vicente del Bosque has no problems with injuries, as his biggest dilemma will be which among David de Gea and Iker Casillas to stand in the doorway.
Czech Republic with the weakest defense before Euro 2016!
Czech Republic take full advantage of the crisis in the Netherlands and finished first in the qualification group after 7-1-2 and goal difference 19:14. Both defeats were by teams who also qualified at Euro 2016 - Iceland 1: 2 as guests from Turkey 0: 2 at home.
Worrying more about Czechs is that they have not recorded a single clean sheet in siftings, conceding most goals away from all teams.
Many believe that the presentation of 33-year-old watchman Arsenal Petr Cech will depend classification of the Czech Republic for the second phase of Euro 2016. He played on the last three championships on the continent and has extensive experience against the best strikers in the world of matches not only at the level of national teams, but also from those at club level.
This is the first match of Group D of the championship. So far performance is quite low and dominated defeat by one goal difference.
In qualifying for last Euro champion Spain took two wins with 2: 0 and 2: 1. Now again expected victory for the Spaniards, although not attached or embedded among the favorites.
The Czechs, however, should not be underestimated. Have good composition and could be the surprise of the tournament.
The last three were controls to Czech Republic with over 2.5 goals in matches, but two of the last three checks Spaniards covered this line.
I expect, in spite of previous fights to get quite effective match. Spain "retained" the score in the final control of this championship, having fallen from Georgia 0: 1.
In Group D of Euro 2016 will play the teams of Spain and the Czech Republic. Both teams have played only two matches together in 2011 both won by the Spanish team 2-1 and 2-0.
The team of Spain has 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss played last meeting of the preparatory stage before this tournament.
While the team of Czechs have 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses.
Definitely the team with classes over the other is that of Spain. Czech footballers will try to do something (eg X) in this game, but it will happen if the Spaniards have day.
The main objective of Spain is, of course, the title.
I look attack after attack on Spain, which is associated with many disorders, and hence cards for the Czechs.
Spain are the current European champions and will try to become the first team in history to win the tournament three consecutive times. Many years since Spain does not enter as the favorite for the gold medal and pressure is not upon them that they may be useful to achieve another remarkable triumph.
Spain qualified for the finals by losing only three of 30 possible points in qualifying. In this group, however, it will not be easy, because apart from the Czech Republic are still teams of Croatia and Turkey. Vicente del Bosque made some surprising decisions regarding the composition and one of them is leaving Paco Alkaser outside the team. Valencia striker was the top scorer of "La Fourier" in qualifying with five goals. In their last friendly Spain conceded home defeat by Georgia 0: 1, which was not well received by the fans. They will be hoping that this is just a temporary collapse, as they won their previous two friendlies 3-1 and 6-1 respectively against Bosnia and Herzegovina and South Korea.
The Czech team will hope if it fails to fight for second place, it ranked eighth-finals as one of the four best third teams. Coach Pavel Vrba has many experienced players in his squad. It will rely mostly on Petr Cech, Tomas Rosicky and Jaroslav Plašil with a total 324 appearances for the national team.
In qualifying the Czech Republic were one of the most effective teams, with a total of 33 goals in 10 games. At Euro 2016, they should significantly improve your game in defense, because otherwise you will be punished. Petr Cech goalkeeper is world class and he will have to be in top form to stop a Spanish attack that scored 23 goals in qualifying. Czech Republic scored 19 goals in the qualifying round, but lack a top striker. Tomáš Necid is the man who will likely be tasked to lead the attack team and will have to deal with Gerard Pique and Sergio Ramos.
The last time these two teams met was in 2011, Spain won 2: 0 thanks to goals from Juan Mata and Xabi Alonso. Currently both are not under the "La Fourier", but again they are the class team and expect to win the opening match in Toulouse.
That's the European Champion comes into play. Does the title of "red fury" defense or not, but the fact that the wards Del Bosque will again be in the main display - no doubt about it. If the team does not get guys like Torres, Diego Costa, Isco - it speaks about the rich choice of mentor. Generational change is in Spanish and it is painful to pass or not, will this tournament. Judging by the friendly matches in Spain, there is no problem. Czechs before the start of EURO beat the Russian team and lifted the spirits themselves. But to play against Spain is a different matter. If you scored Kokorin, it really Morata and Pedro have scored exactly. To some extent the Czechs and were lucky that they otmuchalis immediately with the Spaniards, and after in-person duels with the Croats and Turks will fight for a way out of the group.
Because the Spaniards started to prepare for the Euro, it became clear that the "fury Roja" goes not just for rehabilitation for the failure of the world championship in Brazil, and set up one of the greatest records that are unlikely to someone else someday submit - to win three European Cup in a row.
Vicente Del Bosque has brought the guys in the Austrian mountains, where they gained form and honed interaction in friendly games. A bit let down by the fact that the players of Atletico and Real Madrid have played in the Champions League final, but given that those typed all four, it becomes a problem for the defending champion.
Spaniards are very important to start the tournament with a win and not just to feel confident in their abilities. Calendar group stage dictates the rules, if the "fury Roja" suddenly did not win the first match, then it is generally not at risk to leave the group. Croats and Turks can present a sensation as in the recent 2004, the Danes and the Swedes left behind playoff "Azzurri". In addition to this, three points in the upcoming bout, can be a good guarantee of first place, which gives a lot more privileges in the tournament grid than the line below.
Spain - Czech Republic: the predicted squads
Spain: De Gea - Juanfran, Pique, Ramos, Alba - Busquets, Fabregas, Koke - Iniesta, Morata, Silva
Czech Republic: Cech - Selassie, Suchy, Kadlec, Kaderzhabek - Darida, Pavelka -Kreychi, Plasil, Shura - Necid
Spare:
Spain: Casillas, Rico, Bartra, Azpilicueta, bellerin, San Jose, Soriano, Alcantara, Aduriz, Nolito, Vázquez, Pedro
Czech Republic: Vatslik, Koubek, Gubnik, Limberský, Pudil, Sivok, Dočkal, Kolář, Rosicky, Lafata, Skoda, Skalak
Czechs are very well established in the selection, coming out is not the easiest group. Czech national team game, very similar to the game of capital Sparta. All players are well prepared physically, and try to force the opponent athletic football, with a clear bias towards the attack. In a similar style to play against the Spaniards, it will be incredibly difficult, if you wish, such prefabricated - a tasty morsel for guys Vicente Del Bosque.
Remembering a friendly match against the Russian team, you can easily remember a single moment when our players with the quick pass left no inheritance entire Czech defense. What then happens when instead of conventional Shatov and Kokorin, Iniesta and Silva will. How would the Czechs have not tried in this game, the tournament makes its own rules, you can remember, the Spaniards almost always unattractive started any group stage, picking up a form already in the course. But now, this should not be too much is at stake and too long Spain waiting for a chance to wash away their shame.
Football betting tip: Over 2.5 goals
Home win
Ireland - Sweden
EURO 2016 - Group E
13/06/2016 19:00 EET
On Monday at 19:00 in the first match of Euro 2016 against each other on the green carpet face national teams of Ireland and Sweden. These two opponents definitely know how to play attacking football and open and available pretty quality performers and this will surely make their games interesting to watch. Positions and the two doors will be missing and fans of both teams will not be disappointed by what he saw for sure. So my forecast is for close match and over 1.5 goals in him.
Ireland without stars but with a team of Euro 2016!
Republic of Ireland had some difficulties in qualifying (5-3-2, GR 19: 7), but finished with three successes in their last 4 games, one of which even managed to break Germany 1: 0 at home in Dublin.
Boys Martin O'Neill gave a 1: 0 away to Poland in the last match, but already had in its assets enough points to qualify in the playoffs where we had to argue with Bosnia and Herzegovina for a place at Euro 2016. Green army out X 1: 1 in Bosnia and the second leg in Dublin rejoices with 2: 0 after goals from Jonathan Walters and thus sealed his place of Eurofinal.
In Ireland team no superstars but for goalkeeper Shay Given and striker Robbie Keane are the last major tournament of participating. They will most likely start on the bench because under the frame holder is expected to be Darren Randolph, the hero of the victory over Germany, and the attack will rely on swift feet of Shane Long.
Sweden relies heavily on Zlatan Ibrahimovic!
Sweden registered 5-3-2 (GR 15: 9) in the not too strong qualifying group and took third place. In barrage Swedes had Scandinavian obstacle in the face of Denmark. They won their household with 2: 1 and reached a draw 2: 2 defendant in collision with a total score of 4: 3 earned his place among the European elite.
Sweden will rely for goals this summer mostly superstar in attack Zlatan Ibrahimovic. 34-year-old striker became the scorer of his country during qualifying with eight goals and also scored 3 of the 4 goals in the barrages.
Chief referee of the match will be Milorad Mazhich from Serbia.
Ireland was not very convincing at the controls before the start of the tournament. Boys Martin O'Neill ended 1: 1 with Holland, then recorded a surprise defeat by Belarus 1: 2. Bad news for the coaching staff to Ireland after these matches is trauma, which received the team captain - Robbie Keane. LA Galaxy striker but resumed workouts in recent days and is expected to be online for the match with Sweden. However, the place of Robbie Keane in attack is uncertain because of the good performances of ramming Southampton - Shane Long. Others who have mild problems with injuries before the start of Euro 2016 are Jonathan Walters and Robbie Brady.
Probable teams: Darren Randolph, Seamus Coleman, John O'Shea, Kieran Clark, Robbie Brady, James Although Glenn Whelan, Jeff Hendrick, Wes Hulahan, Jonathan Walters, Shane Long;
But in the French fields reappears great and terrible Zlatan Ibrahimovic. From it we can expect a masterpiece and celebration. All the same, most likely, a Swede spends his last big tournament for his team. Although, who knows, maybe in Russia, it remains to be seen. Irish in this group look outsiders. If Robbie Keane still not be able to end the trauma to heal, then attack the green will be a big problem. Star men in these teams there is little, but the Swedes have Ibra and why they are favorites in this game. True if snapper Wernbloom retire because of his intemperance, the Irish may roll Scandinavians. I think the game will not be spectacular.
The Swedes and the Irish are not much different in terms of the game vision. Both teams rely on are not too intricate game, preferring to rely on the power aspects of the discipline and, therefore, the upcoming fight, can safely be called a battle of two of the Vikings.
The main difference between the Swedes - is the presence of a superstar, in the face of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. There is little doubt that the whole game, "Tre Kronor" is sharpened on the skill of the Parisian giants, for whom the tournament is likely to last at international level. Needless to say that Zlatan wants to prove himself and at least reach the playoffs.
Aside from Ibra, in the "yellow-blue", you can pay attention to the young Victor Lindelfa, Jon Guidetti and Oscar Hilermaka. The first of the season has become the main defender of Benfica and went with her to the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Second, after the European Youth Championship, it is one of the most talented central strikers in the world and heir Ibrahimovic in the team. And last, opened this year in Palermo and like no other sitsilitsev pretends to upgrade to business class.
Sweden - Ireland projected squads
Sweden: Isaksson - Olsson, Lindelf, Johansson, Lustig - Larsson, Wernbloom, Hilermak, Zengin - Berg, Ibrahimovic
Ireland: Randolph - Coleman, Clarke, O'Shea, Brady - McCarthy, McClean, Whelan, McGeady - Walters - Long
Spare
Sweden Olsen Carlgren, Augustinsson, Jansson, Granqvist, Durmaz, Ekdal, Lewicki, Forsberg, Chelstrem, Kujović, Guidetti
Ireland: Given, Westwood, Christie, KIOGE, Duffy, Ward, Hendrik, Mailer, Quinn, Hoolahan, Keane, Murphy
The path of "green" is very similar to the way the Scandinavians in France. They also took third place in his sextet and then passed in the joints dismantled Bosnians, with the only difference being that the Irish were few who believed before the start of the qualifying stage.
If at the last European Cup Ireland landed the group of death, which, as we learned later, there were two finalists Spain and Italy, and very strong Croats, now all a bit more successful. It is clear that the Belgians would be incredibly difficult, but to play on equal terms with the same Italy, which is seriously anemic lack of strong offensive performers possible. And even more so, it refers to the "Tre Kronor", driven to the Euro is one of the weakest compositions in the last four of the tournament. The Irish are still in the selection proved that they can take their own, thanks to his indomitable will, but for the Swedes, more than there was - he gave the ball to Zlatan think of something. Given that the Swedish giant is little remembered in major tournaments, it is unlikely he will shoot and now in his old age. The winner of this match, in fact automatically gets the third place and a chance to play in pely-off. Therefore, contrary to the usual cautious scenario in the first rounds, we have to witness the battle between two equal teams, which have to take three points.
Interesting Facts About Ireland:
Ireland qualified for the third time in the European Championship, and has never passed the group stage. In 2012, Green recorded 3 losses;
The biggest success in the history of Ireland is reaching the quarter-finals of the World Cup in 1990;
Place in France, Ireland sealed after success over Bosnia and Herzegovina in the barrages with a total score 3: 1;
Sweden also had slight fluctuations in the controls, failing to beat Slovenia and ended 0: 0. But then Tre krunur was uncompromising and smashed strong team of Wales 3: 0. Boys Eric Hamra seem well prepared for the tournament and is aimed at the stage of eliminations. As always a major role in Sweden will have Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Master of Tre krunur will be a major threat to the opposing defense, in attack is expected to help him Marcus Berg.
Probable teams: Andreas Isaksson, Mikael Lustig, Andreas Grankvist, Nielsen Lindelof, Martin Olsson, Jimmy Durmaz, Kim Kalstryom, Albin expert positions Emil Forsberg, Marcus Berg, Zlatan Ibrahimovic;
Interesting facts about Sweden:
Sweden started fifth consecutive European Championship and sixth overall. Tre krunur not overcome the group stage since 2004 when the game quarter-final;
The biggest success in the history of Sweden lost the final of the home World Cup in 1958 with a 5: 2 from Brazil;
Sweden also secure a place in France in the barrages, which overcame Denmark with a total score of 4: 3;
Zlatan Ibrahimovic became the second scorer of the qualifiers with 11 goals, 3 of them came to the barrages;
Ireland and Sweden are located in one of the toughest groups in the company of Italy and Belgium. In view of this experienced coaches of both teams know that loss starts may be detrimental to their ambitions. We expect tactical outwitting between Martin O'Neill and Eric Hamra, which may affect the effectiveness of the fight.
Football betting tip: Over 1.5 goals
Home win or draw
Under 2.5 goals
Both teams to score
Ecuador - Haiti
Copa America Centenario - Group B
13/06/2016 01:30 EET
Recent matches of the group stage of the Copa America.
Here almost nothing to analyze because so far both teams have played one game. He was friendly, making it covers my prediction, namely three goals for Ecuador.
Symbolic hosts in this game require a mandatory victory if they want to move on.
Another issue that may need the better goal difference. Their first match will be played tonight and will not know how you do Brazil and Peru. An equal there and win Ecuador will entangled ranking. Then in the foreground comes out goal difference.
Brazilians crushed Haiti and most likely they will continue until Peru they had only 1: 0. Victory with two goals difference will be sufficient to Ecuador to continue in such a scenario.
To have security and there is no tension late in the game, I foresee at least three goals scored for Ecuador and continuing to the quarterfinals.
Football betting tip: Over 2.5 goals for Ecuador
Belgium - Italy
EURO 2016 - Group E
13/06/2016 22:00 EET
Expectations Belgium at Euro 2016 are great!
Belgium, which is second in the FIFA rankings, is a team with very strong personalities and according to all experts will play a leading role in the European Cup. In attack there are great players who can punish any team - Azar, De Seebrig, Carrasco Mertens, Lukaku, Benteke and belching are only part of the offensive power of the Reds.
An additional incentive for the team is that the Belgians will collect the highest premiums of all in case of winning the European title - at € 700,000 per person. For comparison, the French internationals federation pledged € 300,000 of cap in the Euro 2016 title.
Belgium finished first qualifying group after 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss and goal difference 24: 5.
Captain Belgian Eden Hazard a slight injury during Friday's workout, but is expected to be available for the match. Thomas Vermaelen is also recovered from his injury.
Everton striker Romelu Lukaku (2.87 to score against Italy) is expected to lead the attack on Belgium during Euro 2016. The 23-year-old marksman scored 25 goals for the Toffees in all competitions last season and recently scored in control national team against Portugal.
Italy will rely on its strong defense!
Italy has always singed among the favorites regardless of the form in which it is located. Euro 2016, of course, is no exception. Moreover squadra Azzurri qualify easily for the tournament, and did not allow any loss in qualifying (7-3-0, GR 16: 7). Thanks to its strong defense team can go far, but question marks remain over the attack and midfield.
A curious fact is that squadra Azzurri is the team with the most draws in the history of Eurofinal (15) and also has the most draws zero (8).
In Conte effectiveness is modest - a total of 10 wins 5 with 1: 0, only once had crossed elevation 2 (with 3: 1 against Azerbaijan). For Italy, this is not alarming, historically, even usual, but rather a surprise convincing success.
The most expensive player team estimated a central defender Leonardo Bonucci and the biggest star of the team is 38-year-old goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.
Buffon inspires the confidence of defenders in front of him, but the fact that most of them are teammates in Juventus is an additional plus. From there, however, it remains an open question whether squadra Azzurri will be able to make every game something from nothing and get away with 2-3 clear chances per game.
However, the team was hit by injuries to key players. In midfield opened hole after the accounts of Antonio Conte dropped Claudio Marchisio and Marco Verratti.
French terrain Conte must squeeze the most out of stock, which on the one hand, there are no big stars, and the other is in search of its identity.
Formulations of Belgium and Italy in Group E of Euro 2016 will play another match of the tournament.
I expect an interesting match in which the team of Belgium in any case does not go as "doomed." With stars like Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku, Kevin December Bruyne and the outcome of this meeting remains a mystery.
Symbolic hosts have 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in their last 6 matches. In one of these meetings 13/11/2015, Belgium has overcome namely Italy in a friendly match at home 3-1, in the second half has over 1.5 goals.
Yes, they have played the match without any importance, but with class players like Belgian can beat any team. Except in this meeting even 2 of those 6 games have goals in the second half.
The Italian team have in their last 6 games - 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. In four of these matches has over 1.5 goals in the second half.
I expect interesting and dynamic game and let the better win.
The two leaders in Group E will start with hard match each other.
Interestingly, between the two teams Belgium is the bigger favorite to win Euro 2016 compared to Italy. And it seems far from unreasonable, considering the state of both teams and their performances in recent years. Belgians made a great World Cup two years ago, and then this "golden generation" was considered a relatively young and inexperienced team. Two years later, these guys seem far more experienced, with more experience and already with a degree of confidence built up after World. Inevitably they are expected to make a strong tournament here.
For symbolic guests will only determine the missing key players due to injuries or other reasons. Team Italy does not seem on paper so classy, as we used to see them. Their shape friendlies is not impressive, which failed to win any of the more powerful rivals, and that's what you need here. However, we never have to count the composition of Italy, just look for things they are not so rosy at the moment. Moreover, the famous Italian defense with a team that prides itself seems more shaken than normal.
Expect heavy match in this important match for both teams - the group is quite heavy and 3 points from the match between the two favorites it would put the winner in a pretty strong position. However, I think that Belgium seems the better team here - expect at least a point for them. In November, the Belgians beat Italy in a friendly match with 3-1 and it would gave them confidence that this far more important match can go back to victory. Nevertheless, more cautious bets.
Without exaggeration, the central meeting of the first round group stage, silver medalists Italians come into the fight with one of the tournament favorites, the Belgians.
It may well be that the current tournament final to mentor "Red Devils", so it would be logical to carry out his master properly. Marc Wilmots has got the golden generation of Belgian football and if he will show all his coaching profession, you no doubt will be able to achieve with this team, something more than the output in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.
The current Belgium - is, above all, attack and attack again, but this time the circumstances are added so that the coaching staff will have to reconsider their tactics. First and most importantly, why you should do this, a strong bias in favor of attacking players, as it was the world championship in Brazil. Second - Lombaerts injured and Kompany, who clearly held the line between defense and attack. Now, in defense of the four Belgian central defender that death will stand at the gate and only occasionally connect to the creative act. On the one hand, it will reduce the pressure on the gates of the enemy, and on the other, make it more reliable back line. Personally, my opinion that a reliable rear is more important than excessive advantage on the front.
Belgium - Italy: projected squads
Belgium: Courtois - Alderweireld, Denayer, Vermaelen, Vertonghen - Fellaini, Naynggolan - Azar, Witzel, De Bruyne - Lukaku
Italy: Buffon - Florence, Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini, darmian - De Rossi, Motta, Giaccherini - Pellet, Eder
Spare
Belgium: Minole, Gillet, Boyata, J. Lukaku, Meunier, Kabasele, Seaman, Dembele, Ferreira-Carrasco, Mertens, Batshuayi, origami.
Italy: Marchetti, Sirigu, Ogbonna, Candreva, passwords, Stephan El Shaarawy, Mattia De Sciglio, Sturaro, Bernardeski, zazen, Immobile, Lorenzo Insigne
Italy goes to the European Cup without knowing that it is there waiting. "Azzurri" has the best defense in the tournament, a good support area and dreaded the front line. Yes, there were times when the Italians lacked, and this set of performers, but they have always had a great striker or trekvartista, but in the present team is not such.
From all this, it can be fairly simple, but comprehensive conclusion, Italy is doing what she is best of all it turns out, for several decades in a row - to play defensively. It makes no sense to reinvent the wheel and take risks when there is the good old "catenaccio", just so, looking at the game, "Azzurri" in friendly matches reasoned Antonio Conte, so hail balls from the Italians in this game is not worth the wait. Team recently met each other and then the landslide, on account of the game and the victory won wards Wilmots. I think now the Belgians agree on such an outcome, but it is true that they are unlikely to refuse to paint the world, with one of the most renowned teams in the world and the current vice-champion of the tournament.
Chief referee of the match will be Mark Clattenburg of England.
Belgium won two of his three starts over the controls before the tournament against Norway (3: 2) and Switzerland (2: 1) and drew with Finland (1: 1). Before the start of Euro 2016, Mark Vilmots no serious personnel problems with composition. Thomas Vermaelen is doubtful for the match against Italy and if not restored in the starting line-up will start Jordan Lukaku. In attack, it seems that it will rely on Romelu Lukaku and the bench will remain targets three central strikers - Divock Origi, Christian Benteke and Mitchie Batsui. In midfield it will have no place for midfielder Tottenham - Moussa Dembele and it will remain the reserve.
Probable teams: Thibaut Courtois, Toby Alderveyreld, Jason Denayer, Jan Vergongen, Jordan Lukaku, Marouane Fellaini, Axel Witsel, Raja Naigolan, Kevin De Bruyne, Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku;
The Italians, though considered to EURO favorites I would not do that. Conte nachudil course, taking Pirlo. If injured verratti, Montolivo, Marchisio, Pirlo the veteran must be taken, but Conte did what he did. Let's see if he was right. The Italians do not play bright and at times in the match created 2 point Pirlo and could decide the outcome with the standard of the game. The Belgians have dropped out of the company and Lombaerts, that is, the problem outlined in the defense. But this Belgium team that at times recalls about defense. The main forces in wards Wilmots collected in the attacking line. Hazard, Lukaku, Benteke, origami arrange antiquity Buffon lovely evening. From these games are waiting for the beautiful game and an abundance of goals, but is likely to see a lot of struggle and dull draw.
Interesting facts about Belgium:
This is the first participation of Belgium in an Euro championship since 2000 when together with host the Netherlands and fifth in history;
The biggest success for the Reds was in 1980 when they lost in the final of the European Championship West Germany;
Italy arrived in France in a good mood after success in controls against Scotland (1: 0) and Finland (2: 0). Many spetsialistiti did not put the Azzurri among the favorites because of the lack of big stars in the team of Antonio Conte. Future at Chelsea will rely heavily on his former players at Juventus - Gianluigi Buffon, Leonardo Bonucci, Andrea Barzagli and Giorgio Chiellini, who will have the task to get ahead in the tournament. Offensively, Italy has high hopes of Eder and Graziano Pelle.
Group E: Belgium - Italy Euro 2016

Belgium has great players and accidentally singed hidden among the favorites in the tournament. Italy itself has problems and will rely primarily on strong defense. Belgians are more active team of Stade De Lyon would not be surprised if you leave with a prestigious victory on the way to elimination.
