Croatia - Portugal
Round of last 16 Stade Bollaert-Delelis
25/06/2016 22:00 EET
With the victory over Spain and headed the group, Croatia totally wrong accounts and make sure that all previously linked to favorites fall into one stream to the finish. Before Modric company and a wonderful opportunity to even reach the finals. for this purpose, however, must still be overcome three obstacles, one of which is a team of Cristiano Ronaldo. In truth Mariners totally frustrated. They failed to record
a single victory, and the genius of Ronaldo and the good form of Nani not sufficient, because other lines have great problems. Forecast to rank Croatia ahead in the tournament.
Croatia comes with confidence against Portugal!
Croatia is one of the few teams that fascinates in the group stage of Euro 2016. The chess players matte European champion Spain (2: 1) to reserves, gave no chance for Turkey (1: 0) and conceded late drama Czech Republic (2: 2 ).
Ante Cacic and company demonstrate excellent shape and can boast with 5 wins in 7 matches played in 2016.
Modric, Rakitic and Perisic mostly appear in the form of his life and drama of Dorcas rally even more teams.
Great joy for the breeder is that all of its stars are online and there are no injuries and punished. With problems were Luka Modric and Mario Mandzukic, but expect both to appear in the game.
Portugal ranked eighth-finals of Euro 2016 without a win!
Previously considered one of the favorites at Euro 2016 - the team of Portugal qualify difficult to eighth-finals of Euro 2016 as one of the best third after three consecutive draws. Never before has a team without a win had not qualified for the knock-European.
Selecao trailing three times against Hungary in their last match of the group, but eventually rid the skin after 2 fancy goals from Cristiano Ronaldo after the break to 3: 3. Previously, the record 0: 0 Austria and 1: 1 with Iceland.
However, it should be recognized that the average Portugal makes a whopping 23 beats per game, so that only the lack of opportunity left them without complete success of the group.
Selecao won their last 3 matches against Croatia without allowing a goal.
In the first two games of Euro 2016 bad luck prevented the star striker Cristiano Ronaldo to questioning and criticism of him immediately flew. In the third battle of Portugal against Hungary, however, he broke with 2 goals and an assist for the score 3: 3, which provide a place of Sailors in the knockout phase.
Also, Ronaldo broke several records so far. He was the first who managed to score 4 different European leagues, and the first that scored 7 major forums (EP / SP). And besides now №1 and player in history by number of matches of European Cup with a total of 17.
The game and both teams so far is quite nice, though Portugal reached this stage of the tournament without a win. Interesting was the match against Hungary, as in this meeting fell 6 goals and Ronaldo had a factor.
No doubt in this match Cristiano will be a factor. This class is one of the best in the league and can become a goal, if it continues on this path.
Serious injury leave Croatia without one of the holders and it will no doubt be quite difficult for them.
As I said, only one goal will activate everything in this race. It is very important how the teams will start this match.
Portugal are favorites to me and many other players.
I also think that the teams are different. Portugal has an offensive style, but Croatia knows how to play against such teams and it showed against Spain beat them 2-1.
Croatia qualified after finished the leader in group D, which was considered one of the worst. Two wins and a draw is their asset until even the last meeting overcame favorites Spain 2 - 1. Definitely, they managed to our impressions of the game and after the two streams developed in this way chess players are one of the main favorites to reach the final. The eventual their rival in the next phase is Switzerland or Poland. Portugal, on the other hand, was a much more impersonal presentation in groups and are expecting far more. Without a win and three draws, the Portuguese were on the brink of elimination from the tournament and a crazy last match completed 3-3 with Hungary.
Ronaldo shone in the first two matches and this is reflected very negatively on the game of his team - only the third meeting saw something valuable from it. But the fact is that the whole team of Portugal seeks primarily Ronaldo and rely on him in many aspects - and when his game does not work, the performance of the whole team suffers significantly. Of course, Croatia are aware of this and will try to isolate it to the maximum extent - if you deal with this problem have significantly better chances of winning.
Knockout phase is always very difficult for any team and we've seen surprises of all kinds. Here I'd give predistvoto Croatia due to much better their game to date. The team seems much more organized and concentrated mainly in the construction of their game in attack. Furthermore, he showed against Spain that can be very dangerous on the counterattack. Hungary failed to score goals 3 goals against Portugal and if they show greater stability here, I expect hatvatite fail to punish them for it.
Two teams that are presented in a completely different way in the group stage to face each other in Lens tonight.
Portugal failed to achieve any victory in a stream with Iceland, Austria and Hungary, and reached the knockout stage with three draws. That sent them against the strong team of Croatia, who was impressive in his first three games, which is a favorite in this part of the scheme along with Belgium.
Croatia team showed what it is capable of reversal at 2: 1 against the current champion Spain, without two of their big stars Mario Mandzukic and Luka Modric. In their absence Kalinic and especially Perisic revealed huge potential. Mandzukic and Modric will surely return composition and Croats are favorites to win.
Portugal, however, is an experienced fighter tournament, and players from the class of Ronaldo, Nani and Quaresma could seriously jeopardize counterattack Croatian door.
Our recommendation is to seek goalscoring markets in this game.
On Wednesday, teams of Portugal and Hungary made a match of the tournament so far finished 3: 3. In the elimination phase of the tournament of such scale we can hardly expect a repetition of such a result, but the odds for over 2.5 goals is tempting.
The undisputed strength of Croatia's midfield, which will certainly create situations in this game. With Cristiano Ronaldo and two three class names around him did Portugal holds power up front, which will threaten the Croatian door.
Option Both teams to score [(2.15)] does cover the score 1: 1, which is one of the favorites in this market.
As the Portuguese are an outsider in the match coefficient biggest star Cristiano Ronaldo to score is slightly higher 2.50 and also a good option for a stake in this meeting.
Chief referee of the meeting is certain Spaniard Carlos Velasco Carbide, with helpers Alonso Fernandez and Yuste Jimenez. Union Carbide has not been judging of Portugal, while Croatia will play for the third time.
Croatia .vs Portugal
Match Croatia - Portugal will be one of the most controversial and difficult to predict matches of the second round of the tournament. Similarly, the expectation of bookmakers who provide a relatively equal chance of both teams. 2.80 to win against Croatia 3.10 for Portugal and 1.80 coefficient Croatia to qualify ahead, against 2.00 a factor that seemed to Portugal.
When we talk about Portugal before us always comes out the name of Cristiano Ronaldo as he is undoubtedly a very good player who mistakenly directs us that where he plays, the team should be the winner. It is this illusion significant cost means of a lot of bettors Portugal and the team failed to win a single match in the group phase.
If we are realistic and aside from Cristiano Ronaldo, it will see that the players of Croatia together as a team are much better than those of Portugal. Croatian guard Daniel Subasic is classes above his colleague Rui Patricio. "Pensioner" Carvalho can not compete with Vedran Corluka as similar examples abound, and indeed remains the sole Ronaldo, but he alone is not enough for Portugal to beat outsiders even as Hungary.
Second round №3: Croatia - Portugal June 25, 2016
Croatia is our favorite in this meeting as one of the main favorites to win the trophy. Team especially bright excel in the final round group when fared over Spain and finished first. Croatia were an outsider against the Spaniards, and at the meeting it is justified, but eventually a few good attacks "chess players" achieved their goal, it must be noted that Croatia were without several key players such as Luka Modric, who is suffering from an injury.
On Saturday, Croatia will have all its available stock. Portugal also have personnel problems, but I do not see how this will eliminate a rival, especially with what showed a game to date. Victory will not be easy for the Croats, but as we saw their game against Spain, they have a very well physically prepared players who will play at full speed until the end of the match, unlike those of Portugal, which after 60th minute the game now play a completely different way.
Perhaps the only match Italy - Spain looks at the sign stronger than the battle Croats and Portuguese. I think it is not necessary to say that the "drafts" walked in his quartet of Spaniards and rightfully went to the playoffs from the first place. Wards Ante Cacic looked the most balanced team championship. Balkantsev good in defense and attacking game, but for the fighting qualities and character of the Croats say it is best to Vedran Corluka, who played with a bandaged head most of the group stage.
Very much in the game against Croatia will depend on whether Luka Modric play - certainly the most important and strongest footballer current composition. Considering how important the Real Madrid midfielder for the team, I think he will, even though the injury, as, in fact, is his last major tournament, where it will be at its peak. Apart from Modrica, in the game "Draughts" I would single out Ivan Perisic, who unlike his season at Inter, looks very strong and is a true team motor. In general, allocate someone from balkantsev thankless task. At this tournament, all the good and the team is able to wipe very many things, especially when you consider the draw of the tournament.

Only lazy people do not smashed the Portuguese after the group stage. Wards Fernando Santos is not just playing with fire, and set fire to themselves shape. If in the first two rounds of this could be attributed to the composure and relaxation, the fight with the Hungarians left a lot of questions. It is obvious that the team needs a shake-up and I think it will happen.
Portugal national team
In the first place it is necessary to change something in the defensive play - conceding four goals, "European Brazilians" were on this indicator one of the worst teams in the tournament. The first meeting was quite good in the support zone of Danilo, who, unlike of William Carvalho, not fond of attacking play. Impact on the protection actions and slowness Ricardo Carvalho; it is possible that Santos will return to the base, Bruno Alves, who, though not as experienced but better prepared physically. I must return to the defense Rafael Guerreiro, who is more agile and robust attack protection. In attacking the actions everything seems to be normal, limping only realization of the moments, but it's a long-standing scourge pireneytsev.

It will be surprising if badly playing throughout the group stage of the Portuguese, do not miss the superb acting by the Croats. But it will be just as surprising, "European Brazilians" do not find the strength to answer. Still, the group from Portugal was some underestimation, and the manner of opponents playing (on defense), it prevented the Portuguese. On the other hand, Croatia was just as good and at Euro 2008, where they defeated a group of Germans and took the first place, but in the fourth they lost not sparkling Turks. Now history repeats itself a little, both teams have much more to add, and especially the Santos team, which is very much out of luck. But often it happens that Fortune gives all full when you need it most.

Wales - Northern Ireland
Round of last 16 Parc des Princes
25/06/2016 19:00 EET
For both British team reaching the knockout was a huge success and while the composition of Wales there are stars of world class and this more or less expected, it is in the team of Michael O 'Leary talk about grandiose success to come out of a group with Germany, Poland and Ukraine. I expect the quarterfinals to get the team of Wales. Clean historically they outperform Northern Ireland, and recently prevail in the balance between the two teams. Of course must be taken into account and equality, but here it is a game of huge importance, not control, so do not expect surprises.
Wales bring emotions boring group stage of Euro 2016!
One of the most attractive teams at this World Cup - Wales finished in first place in Group B after 2 wins and 1 loss and goal difference 6: 3. Chris Coleman and company defeated Russia with the classical 3: 0 in their last match of the stream, the first they Slovakia 2: 1, and in the middle of England lost 1: 2 by conceding a goal in extra time.
Now dragons involved a large football competition for the first time after 58-year break, will compete with Northern Ireland in the British derby of the eighth-finals of Euro 2016.
Wales does not know the taste of loss in their last 5 games against Northern Ireland. The last clash between the two teams was in March this year. The match finished 1: 1, but the Dragons were without their two stars - Bale and Ramsey.
Coach Chris Coleman said: "Northern Ireland is a team that is very well prepared physically. This is their strength. They were organized and hard to break through in defense. "
Gareth Bale said: "Although we could not win against England, we achieved a moral victory with first place in our group. It is always nice when you do something like that against this opponent. Northern Ireland, however, is a completely different team - they like more to defend themselves. Perhaps even more than us. "
Gareth Bale scored in each of the matches so far and made the most shots of the tournament so far (11). His colleague Aaron Ramsey is also in top form.
Northern Ireland's eighth-final despite the 2 losses 3 games!
Northern Ireland was ranked the second round with only one victory - over Ukraine with 2: 0 and two defeats with 0: 1 - from Poland and Germany. However, this was enough for third place.
The team of Michael O'Neill conceded just 2 goals at Euro 2016 so far, but only a miracle saved them from defeat against Germany after Bundestima their applied targets 28 strokes.
Striker Kyle Lafferty commented: "We have one of the best defenses of the tournament. I do not think this unit from our team gets the praise it deserves for the work done so far. "
Lafferty will most likely remain in the reserve account are Connor Washington.
In this eighth-finals of Euro 2016 will play teams of Wales and Northern Ireland. I expect a real British derby with many challenges and with many crosses, typical things about football who practice these two countries.
So far, over the years the two teams have played three games - two draws and one win for Wales.
Probably one of the bettors this meeting will play Gareth Bale to score any time or over 2.5 goals, etc.
Perhaps there will be no small number of cards in this game. Rudeness is also part of their game.
And crosses will be an integral part of their attacks.
Based on all these things have listed and given the high stake - quarter-final, my forecast for this meeting is the number of corners is over 10 with my first and perhaps only this month bet 10 points.
After poor results in friendly matches before the start of the championship many predicted that Wales will leapfrog your group.
"Dragons" But success went to 2: 1 over Slovakia, which put them in an excellent position for their next meetings. The loss of England was quickly overcome with success over Russia and eventually Bale and company won the group.
So players Chris Coleman is dropped in the easier half of the scheme and have the chance to continue to write history. If Aaron Ramsey and Gareth Bale continue with games that showed in the group stage can take his team even further.
And if Wales had serious doubts that will emerge from the group, the Northern Ireland hardly the biggest optimists believed that the group will continue in Germany, Poland and Ukraine. Win 2: 0 against the latter and minimal losses against the favorites and were enough to qualify them as the best third team.
Only two goals conceded against these rivals show the strength of Northern Irish defense, which cashed only eight goals in ten games during qualifying.
Coach Michael O'Neill expressed his satisfaction with the draw as his players play in the Premier League and Championship, and know each other well with their opponents. This gives them additional confidence and assurance that they can continue the quarterfinals, which hardly have dreamed.
Wales are favorites to win and this is normal, having glanced at the individual qualities of the players of both teams. Those of the "dragons" are more classrooms, and on top is a megastar Gareth Bale.
Chief referee of the match will be Martin Atkinson from England.
Wales qualified for the knockout phase after two victories in the group and earned 6 points. In their last meeting, Gareth Bale and company literally scattered Russia and won with 3: 0. Chris Coleman's boys play good football, but their opponent to eighth-finals given every chance to dream team. In the camp of Wales no injured or suspended players. Ben Davis and Sam Vokes hang cards and you have to be careful if they want to take part in a possible quarter-final. Chris Coleman has no reasons to make changes in its composition and will rely on XI defeated Russia.
Probable teams: Wayne Hennessy, James Chester, Ashley Williams, Ben Davies, Chris Gunter, Joe Allen, Joe Ledley, Neil Taylor, Aaron Ramsey, Gareth Bale, Sam Vokes;
Interesting facts about Wales:
Eighthfinal №2: Wales - Northern Ireland Euro 2016
In the first part of the European Cup, Wales managed to overcome the group stage without much difficulty;
Gareth Bale with Álvaro Morata shares first place scorer with 3 goals. Real Madrid striker failed to score in the 3 matches of his team and with the greatest contribution to the good performance of Wales;
Northern Ireland qualified for the knockout phase with only 3 points earned. Boys Michael O'Neill made their way to the game against Wales as one of the best occupied third place in the group. Now Northern Ireland like his opponent could wish for more matches of Euro 2016. Michael O'Neill also no personnel problems and can count on all his players. Craig Katkat, Jonny Evans, Jamie Ward and Stuart Dallas hang cards and you have to be careful if they want to avoid any possible punishment. Michael O'Neill will rely again on the defensive scheme of the game - 4-5-1, with only Kyle Lafferty will harass the Welsh defense.
Probable teams: Michael McGovern, Aaron Hughes, Gareth Macon, Craig Katkat, Jonny Evans, Jamie Ward, Corry Evans, Oliver Norwood, Stephen Davis, Dallas Stewart, Kyle Lafferty;
Interesting facts about Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland also managed to overcome the group stage in their first participation of European finals;
Northern Ireland out for the fourth time at Parc des Princes, still not recorded a victory (P1, H2);
Wales showed great class and literally unravel Russia a few days ago. Northern Ireland again will rely on very closed game and will look for their chances mainly in static positions. Given the presence of players like Gareth Bale, Aaron Ramsey and Joe Allen in Wales, our preferences tend to win for the boys of Chris Coleman.
As it often happens, fans Russian national team after the departure of the national team are beginning to wish that an opponent, who knocked Russia out of the tournament, success - it is not a shame to lose to someone who has achieved success later. In the case of Wales reason to hope for passage of Northern Ireland more than significant.
The first and main argument - Gareth Bale. The main star, able to pull out the match on his mighty shoulders. In the case with the current convocation of the national team to pull out - too disparaging verb. I did not have to pull out, in all matches played Wales deliberately and confidently, with a particular tactical game plan.
The second argument for Wales - Aaron Ramsey. Hated Arsenalski fans great midfielder proved a game against Russia, and his bunch of Bale allowed the team to defend the number and attacking skill - the number of players most attacks at the gate Akinfeev did not exceed two or three people. The number of shots on target in Wales is 4 times greater than that of Russia.
Total strokes per match roughly the same amount was applied. Also, there is equality in other terms: the same time of possession, number of corners, fouls, etc. What does this tell us? The fact that the equal, in general, the game is the result of the master made devastating. It is the master reach the target, scoring, be realized. Masters, who was not in the national team of Russia and the attention, we come to the subject of the forecast - is not and Northern Ireland.
Wales - Northern Ireland: the predicted squads
Wales: Hennessey - Davies, Williams, Chester - Taylor, Ledley Allen, Gunter - Ramsey, Vox, Bale
Northern Ireland: McGovern - Hughes, McAuley, Ketchart Evans - Ward, Evans, Norwood, Davis, Dallas - Washington
Again, as in the game Belgium - Ireland, an analogy with the club English football, but now is not the Premier League and I miss a favorite against the underdog, and the FA Cup and the middle peasants charged, having a part of a couple of stars against a team from the Championship.
So, for example, that the world has shown the Northern Ireland national team in the game against Germany? Nothing. The statistics after the game some fans corrosive found shot on goal in Germany, but could not remember his one - the entire game on the field was only Germany. Only in the first half for the Irish played a bar, beam, nose protector, causal place goalie and terrible bad luck, Thomas Mueller.

However, against the World Champions played. As shown winning a match against Ukraine? A typical British football - the second goal finished the canopy in the penalty area. The second goal was scored because the Ukrainian goalkeeper parried the ball after a long-range strike in front of him, the attacker had no choice but to plant the ball. More attacks at the gate of Ukraine, in fact, was not.
Maybe they were in confrontation with Poland, in the first match? Yes, there were a couple of attempts: fresh, substitute striker Conor Washington from CRC ran one on one with Schestny, but rested the goalkeeper did not even hit the ball. Be able to implement such moments he would not play for the CRC. More it was spectacular, but totally ineffective kick from outside the penalty area by Kyle Lafferty from Norwich. This, alas, everything.

Switzerland - Poland
Round of last 16 Stade Geoffroy Guichard
25/06/2016 16:00 EET
Switzerland was able to eighth-finals without impress!
Switzerland finished second in Group A with a total of 5 points after one win 1: 0 against Albania and two draws - 1: 1 Romania 0: 0 with France. So with only 2 goals scored and one allowed, Crusaders were able to eighth-finals of Euro 2016.
Switzerland has only one win in total 10 his match with Poland so far achieved in the control back in 1976.
Poland is without conceding a goal at Euro 2016 so far!
Poland finished second in Group C of the European Championship with 7 points after two minimum wins with 1: 0 against Northern Ireland and Ukraine and a friendly zero draw with Germany.
And although the band did not allow Polish goal in the group stage, the players of Ukraine, for example, created a lot of points against them, but the lack of class in the final stage left them empty-handed.
Star striker Robert Lewandowski (2.50 to score) not scored in the last 6 games of Poland, and hopes for more in the tournament are related to it.
His colleague Millikan at least scored 1 goal and 1 assist at Euro 2016 so far.
After the group stage these teams are ranked and go against each other. The game of both teams is pretty good and I think both teams deserve promo, but can not happen.
According to Bukit all match with equal performance, but the goal will activate the game for both teams and it could become a factor for at least 3-4 goals in the game.
It must not forget that only Lewandowski is a great striker who could surprise at any time the door of the home team in this meeting.
Both teams have good scorers and I think we can expect quite an interesting clash.
Personally, I expect better performance Poland and I think have more forces in this race.
The teams of Switzerland finished unbeaten in their group and now out in the first second round of Euro 2016.
The team of Poland is the favorite in this match and that is understandable in view shown so far. Lewandowski and company won with 1: 0 Northern Ireland and Ukraine with the same result. Against the third favorite for the title
Germany does escaped zero draw. The team showed good and stable game and not by accident before the start of the race was considered one of the hidden favorites.
The Swiss were not so impressive in the group stage. They won a difficult victory with 1: 0 over debutant Albania, which in much of the match game with a man less. Then "crusaders" made a good game at 1: 1 draw with Romania. Goalless draw against France is not indicative of the performance of the team as the hosts need only a point to finish first in the group.
Poland is definitely the favorite, but the poor performance of the team is a concern. Meanwhile, the Swiss were stable in defense and will look for their chances to surprise the favorites. Perhaps the tie looks more reasonable choice in this clash, especially having in mind the high stakes of the game.
Under 2.5 Goals option is favored in market bets because both teams performed better in defense than in attack in the group stage.
All three matches of the Swiss far failed to pass the limit of 2.5 goals, two of them ended with a stated goal. "Crusaders" scored only two goals but conceded just one.
Three meetings of Poland did ended with marked under 1.5 goals such as "Polish battalion" did not allow a hit in his neck.
Chief referee of the match will be Mark Clattenburg of England.
Switzerland came second in their group behind Team France and ahead of Albania and Romania. Now the Crusaders have an outstanding chance to progress forward in the tournament, as proved in the easy flow that leads to the finish. Vladimir Petkovic no personnel problems with injured or punished players before the match with Poland. Next he will booked out of a possible quarter-final Granit Xhaka, Valon Behrami, Bree embolism and Fabian Shaar. The composition of Switzerland do not expect major surprises. So Harris Seferovitch will again lead the attack once against France in the position of striker saw Bree embolism.
Probable teams: Jan Sommer, Stephan Lichtsteiner, Fabian Shaar, John Dzhoru, Ricardo Rodriguez, Valon Behrami, Granit Xhaka, Xherdan Shaqiri, Admir Mehmed, Blerim Xhemajli, Harris Seferovitch;
Interesting facts about Switzerland:
Eighthfinal №1: Switzerland - Poland Euro 2016
Switzerland qualified for the knockout phase for the first time in the 4 their interests;
The last time Switzerland has played an elimination game of the grand final of the World Cup in 1938;
Switzerland remains unbeaten this championship as crusaders for the first time in its history will play at the stadium in Saint-Etienne;
Poland won 7 points in its group and remained at second place after Germany only because of his goal-difference. Polish battalion also as Switzerland had a great chance to fall in the upper stream, which ensures relatively lighter rivals ahead in the tournament. Wojciech Schesni continues to treat strain he got in the first game of his team Tournament against Northern Ireland. Guard Roma will again be replaced by Lukasz Fabianski in the starting line-up of Poland. The new star of Poles - Bartosz Kapustka even been punished for accumulated yellow cards. His place on the left side of midfield will take Kamil Grositski.
Probable teams: Lukasz Fabianski, Lucas Pishchek, Michal Pazdan, Kamil Glik, Arthur Yedrechuk, Jakub Błaszczykowski, Grzegorz Krihovyak, Krzysztof Machinski, Camille Grositski, Robert Lewandowski, Arkadiusz Millikan;
Interesting facts about Poland:
Poland recorded their first victory of the European Cup, having previously had 3 losses and 3 draws;
Poland is also undefeated at Euro 2016, as recorded 2 wins and 1 draw;
Poland has not received any goal in their last 4 games (3 of which are Euro 2016, including the World Champion - Germany)
Switzerland and Poland seem completely equivalent rivals. We expect very strong tactical battle that can not be solved after 90 minutes. Yet we give a slight advantage for Team Switzerland, which showed against France that has great potential.
Switzerland took place in the playoffs, not having suffered any defeat, and gave the palm to his quartet only team Didier Deschamps. It looks very good result, but if you dig a little deeper, it turns out a little differently. The first meeting in the tournament - and immediately win than not a successful start? But those who have seen this fight, they will say that the game most of the match in the majority of the squad Vladimir Petkovic, looked worse than the weaker names Albania. In fairness, balkantsy all had to pull a draw in this game.
In the second round of the Swiss passed a test of the Romanian national team, and also, admittedly, look unimportant. Yes, it created a lot of chances to score in the opponents' goal, but his if they were less, then not much. In the third meeting sponsored Petkovic played with tournament hosts, but, if agreed, both teams rolled up dull 0: 0, so it is difficult to objectively evaluate this match.
One of the weakest Swiss places - central defense. Djourou and Cher, the players rather modest possibilities, even in spite of the fact that the play is not the weakest clubs. For the player of Hamburg and all usual glory of one of the major tragedies on the football field, so often he was nervous and, as a consequence, is mistaken. But the attack at the Alpines okay: Shakira, Seferovic, Mehmedi and embolism look very formidable weapon.
Switzerland - Poland projected squads
Switzerland: Sommer - Lihshtayner, Djourou, Cher, Rodriguez - Xhaka, Behrami - Shakira, Jemal, Mehmedi - Seferovic
Poland: Fabianski - Pischchek, Glick, Pazdan, Jędrzejczyk - Grzegorz Krychowiak, Monchinski - Grosicki, Milik, Błaszczykowski - Lewandowski
Spare
Switzerland: Hits, Bürki, Elvedi Lang, Mubandzhe, Von Bergen, Fernandes, Fry, Zakaria, Derdiyok, embolism, Tarashay
Poland: Boruc, Szczęsny, Tsionek, Wawrzyniak, Salyamon, Yodlovets, Peszko, Stazhinski, Zielinski, Stempinski
Poles, along with the German national team, became the team that managed to keep its gates shut at the end of the group stage. Of course, the main achievement - a zero with Germany, but objectively speaking, "dimanshaft" in the quartet did not play, and 50% of its capacity. However, Ukrainians, for example, have not been able to crack the defense of the Poles, attacking the gates of their terrible barrage of attacks.
Adam collective Navalki - quite balanced team. There is a leader in every line: Glick, Grzegorz Krychowiak Lewandowski. Many criticized Robert Lewandowski for the fact that he has not scored any goals, but no one notices him a huge amount of work, and then how much attention he distracts the defense on himself, which sometimes is more important than goals scored. If the Swiss are no losses in the composition, then the "red-white" will not play a rising star Bartosz cabbage, which is likely to replace Kamil Grosicki, knowing French fields and not much inferior to the young players.
Switzerland - Poland: readers Forecast
Total more - 3.12
Total less than - 1.42

As is known, the attack wins games, but defense titles. If it suited to the analysis of the match through this prism, Switzerland, with his dashing play and relatively weak protection, inferior collective Adam Navalki. Poland is good on the back of the line and not much inferior in front of the Swiss national team, which is absolutely in every game there were serious problems with the attacks of the enemy. Therefore, it is seen Poles favorite in this confrontation.

Croatia comes with confidence against Portugal!
Croatia is one of the few teams that fascinates in the group stage of Euro 2016. The chess players matte European champion Spain (2: 1) to reserves, gave no chance for Turkey (1: 0) and conceded late drama Czech Republic (2: 2 ).
Ante Cacic and company demonstrate excellent shape and can boast with 5 wins in 7 matches played in 2016.
Modric, Rakitic and Perisic mostly appear in the form of his life and drama of Dorcas rally even more teams.
Great joy for the breeder is that all of its stars are online and there are no injuries and punished. With problems were Luka Modric and Mario Mandzukic, but expect both to appear in the game.
Portugal ranked eighth-finals of Euro 2016 without a win!
Previously considered one of the favorites at Euro 2016 - the team of Portugal qualify difficult to eighth-finals of Euro 2016 as one of the best third after three consecutive draws. Never before has a team without a win had not qualified for the knock-European.
Selecao trailing three times against Hungary in their last match of the group, but eventually rid the skin after 2 fancy goals from Cristiano Ronaldo after the break to 3: 3. Previously, the record 0: 0 Austria and 1: 1 with Iceland.
However, it should be recognized that the average Portugal makes a whopping 23 beats per game, so that only the lack of opportunity left them without complete success of the group.
Selecao won their last 3 matches against Croatia without allowing a goal.
In the first two games of Euro 2016 bad luck prevented the star striker Cristiano Ronaldo to questioning and criticism of him immediately flew. In the third battle of Portugal against Hungary, however, he broke with 2 goals and an assist for the score 3: 3, which provide a place of Sailors in the knockout phase.
Also, Ronaldo broke several records so far. He was the first who managed to score 4 different European leagues, and the first that scored 7 major forums (EP / SP). And besides now №1 and player in history by number of matches of European Cup with a total of 17.
The game and both teams so far is quite nice, though Portugal reached this stage of the tournament without a win. Interesting was the match against Hungary, as in this meeting fell 6 goals and Ronaldo had a factor.
No doubt in this match Cristiano will be a factor. This class is one of the best in the league and can become a goal, if it continues on this path.
Serious injury leave Croatia without one of the holders and it will no doubt be quite difficult for them.
As I said, only one goal will activate everything in this race. It is very important how the teams will start this match.
Portugal are favorites to me and many other players.
I also think that the teams are different. Portugal has an offensive style, but Croatia knows how to play against such teams and it showed against Spain beat them 2-1.
Croatia qualified after finished the leader in group D, which was considered one of the worst. Two wins and a draw is their asset until even the last meeting overcame favorites Spain 2 - 1. Definitely, they managed to our impressions of the game and after the two streams developed in this way chess players are one of the main favorites to reach the final. The eventual their rival in the next phase is Switzerland or Poland. Portugal, on the other hand, was a much more impersonal presentation in groups and are expecting far more. Without a win and three draws, the Portuguese were on the brink of elimination from the tournament and a crazy last match completed 3-3 with Hungary.
Ronaldo shone in the first two matches and this is reflected very negatively on the game of his team - only the third meeting saw something valuable from it. But the fact is that the whole team of Portugal seeks primarily Ronaldo and rely on him in many aspects - and when his game does not work, the performance of the whole team suffers significantly. Of course, Croatia are aware of this and will try to isolate it to the maximum extent - if you deal with this problem have significantly better chances of winning.
Knockout phase is always very difficult for any team and we've seen surprises of all kinds. Here I'd give predistvoto Croatia due to much better their game to date. The team seems much more organized and concentrated mainly in the construction of their game in attack. Furthermore, he showed against Spain that can be very dangerous on the counterattack. Hungary failed to score goals 3 goals against Portugal and if they show greater stability here, I expect hatvatite fail to punish them for it.
Two teams that are presented in a completely different way in the group stage to face each other in Lens tonight.
Portugal failed to achieve any victory in a stream with Iceland, Austria and Hungary, and reached the knockout stage with three draws. That sent them against the strong team of Croatia, who was impressive in his first three games, which is a favorite in this part of the scheme along with Belgium.
Croatia team showed what it is capable of reversal at 2: 1 against the current champion Spain, without two of their big stars Mario Mandzukic and Luka Modric. In their absence Kalinic and especially Perisic revealed huge potential. Mandzukic and Modric will surely return composition and Croats are favorites to win.
Portugal, however, is an experienced fighter tournament, and players from the class of Ronaldo, Nani and Quaresma could seriously jeopardize counterattack Croatian door.
Our recommendation is to seek goalscoring markets in this game.
On Wednesday, teams of Portugal and Hungary made a match of the tournament so far finished 3: 3. In the elimination phase of the tournament of such scale we can hardly expect a repetition of such a result, but the odds for over 2.5 goals is tempting.
The undisputed strength of Croatia's midfield, which will certainly create situations in this game. With Cristiano Ronaldo and two three class names around him did Portugal holds power up front, which will threaten the Croatian door.
Option Both teams to score [(2.15)] does cover the score 1: 1, which is one of the favorites in this market.
As the Portuguese are an outsider in the match coefficient biggest star Cristiano Ronaldo to score is slightly higher 2.50 and also a good option for a stake in this meeting.
Chief referee of the meeting is certain Spaniard Carlos Velasco Carbide, with helpers Alonso Fernandez and Yuste Jimenez. Union Carbide has not been judging of Portugal, while Croatia will play for the third time.
Croatia .vs Portugal
Match Croatia - Portugal will be one of the most controversial and difficult to predict matches of the second round of the tournament. Similarly, the expectation of bookmakers who provide a relatively equal chance of both teams. 2.80 to win against Croatia 3.10 for Portugal and 1.80 coefficient Croatia to qualify ahead, against 2.00 a factor that seemed to Portugal.
When we talk about Portugal before us always comes out the name of Cristiano Ronaldo as he is undoubtedly a very good player who mistakenly directs us that where he plays, the team should be the winner. It is this illusion significant cost means of a lot of bettors Portugal and the team failed to win a single match in the group phase.
If we are realistic and aside from Cristiano Ronaldo, it will see that the players of Croatia together as a team are much better than those of Portugal. Croatian guard Daniel Subasic is classes above his colleague Rui Patricio. "Pensioner" Carvalho can not compete with Vedran Corluka as similar examples abound, and indeed remains the sole Ronaldo, but he alone is not enough for Portugal to beat outsiders even as Hungary.
Second round №3: Croatia - Portugal June 25, 2016
Croatia is our favorite in this meeting as one of the main favorites to win the trophy. Team especially bright excel in the final round group when fared over Spain and finished first. Croatia were an outsider against the Spaniards, and at the meeting it is justified, but eventually a few good attacks "chess players" achieved their goal, it must be noted that Croatia were without several key players such as Luka Modric, who is suffering from an injury.
On Saturday, Croatia will have all its available stock. Portugal also have personnel problems, but I do not see how this will eliminate a rival, especially with what showed a game to date. Victory will not be easy for the Croats, but as we saw their game against Spain, they have a very well physically prepared players who will play at full speed until the end of the match, unlike those of Portugal, which after 60th minute the game now play a completely different way.
Perhaps the only match Italy - Spain looks at the sign stronger than the battle Croats and Portuguese. I think it is not necessary to say that the "drafts" walked in his quartet of Spaniards and rightfully went to the playoffs from the first place. Wards Ante Cacic looked the most balanced team championship. Balkantsev good in defense and attacking game, but for the fighting qualities and character of the Croats say it is best to Vedran Corluka, who played with a bandaged head most of the group stage.
Very much in the game against Croatia will depend on whether Luka Modric play - certainly the most important and strongest footballer current composition. Considering how important the Real Madrid midfielder for the team, I think he will, even though the injury, as, in fact, is his last major tournament, where it will be at its peak. Apart from Modrica, in the game "Draughts" I would single out Ivan Perisic, who unlike his season at Inter, looks very strong and is a true team motor. In general, allocate someone from balkantsev thankless task. At this tournament, all the good and the team is able to wipe very many things, especially when you consider the draw of the tournament.
Croatia - Portugal projected squads
Croatia Subasic - Srna, Vida, Corluka, Vrasalsko - Modric, Brozović - Perisic, Rakitic, Badel- Mandzhukich

Only lazy people do not smashed the Portuguese after the group stage. Wards Fernando Santos is not just playing with fire, and set fire to themselves shape. If in the first two rounds of this could be attributed to the composure and relaxation, the fight with the Hungarians left a lot of questions. It is obvious that the team needs a shake-up and I think it will happen.
Portugal national team
In the first place it is necessary to change something in the defensive play - conceding four goals, "European Brazilians" were on this indicator one of the worst teams in the tournament. The first meeting was quite good in the support zone of Danilo, who, unlike of William Carvalho, not fond of attacking play. Impact on the protection actions and slowness Ricardo Carvalho; it is possible that Santos will return to the base, Bruno Alves, who, though not as experienced but better prepared physically. I must return to the defense Rafael Guerreiro, who is more agile and robust attack protection. In attacking the actions everything seems to be normal, limping only realization of the moments, but it's a long-standing scourge pireneytsev.

It will be surprising if badly playing throughout the group stage of the Portuguese, do not miss the superb acting by the Croats. But it will be just as surprising, "European Brazilians" do not find the strength to answer. Still, the group from Portugal was some underestimation, and the manner of opponents playing (on defense), it prevented the Portuguese. On the other hand, Croatia was just as good and at Euro 2008, where they defeated a group of Germans and took the first place, but in the fourth they lost not sparkling Turks. Now history repeats itself a little, both teams have much more to add, and especially the Santos team, which is very much out of luck. But often it happens that Fortune gives all full when you need it most.

Wales - Northern Ireland
Round of last 16 Parc des Princes
25/06/2016 19:00 EET
For both British team reaching the knockout was a huge success and while the composition of Wales there are stars of world class and this more or less expected, it is in the team of Michael O 'Leary talk about grandiose success to come out of a group with Germany, Poland and Ukraine. I expect the quarterfinals to get the team of Wales. Clean historically they outperform Northern Ireland, and recently prevail in the balance between the two teams. Of course must be taken into account and equality, but here it is a game of huge importance, not control, so do not expect surprises.
Wales bring emotions boring group stage of Euro 2016!
One of the most attractive teams at this World Cup - Wales finished in first place in Group B after 2 wins and 1 loss and goal difference 6: 3. Chris Coleman and company defeated Russia with the classical 3: 0 in their last match of the stream, the first they Slovakia 2: 1, and in the middle of England lost 1: 2 by conceding a goal in extra time.
Now dragons involved a large football competition for the first time after 58-year break, will compete with Northern Ireland in the British derby of the eighth-finals of Euro 2016.
Wales does not know the taste of loss in their last 5 games against Northern Ireland. The last clash between the two teams was in March this year. The match finished 1: 1, but the Dragons were without their two stars - Bale and Ramsey.
Coach Chris Coleman said: "Northern Ireland is a team that is very well prepared physically. This is their strength. They were organized and hard to break through in defense. "
Gareth Bale said: "Although we could not win against England, we achieved a moral victory with first place in our group. It is always nice when you do something like that against this opponent. Northern Ireland, however, is a completely different team - they like more to defend themselves. Perhaps even more than us. "
Gareth Bale scored in each of the matches so far and made the most shots of the tournament so far (11). His colleague Aaron Ramsey is also in top form.
Northern Ireland's eighth-final despite the 2 losses 3 games!
Northern Ireland was ranked the second round with only one victory - over Ukraine with 2: 0 and two defeats with 0: 1 - from Poland and Germany. However, this was enough for third place.
The team of Michael O'Neill conceded just 2 goals at Euro 2016 so far, but only a miracle saved them from defeat against Germany after Bundestima their applied targets 28 strokes.
Striker Kyle Lafferty commented: "We have one of the best defenses of the tournament. I do not think this unit from our team gets the praise it deserves for the work done so far. "
Lafferty will most likely remain in the reserve account are Connor Washington.
In this eighth-finals of Euro 2016 will play teams of Wales and Northern Ireland. I expect a real British derby with many challenges and with many crosses, typical things about football who practice these two countries.
So far, over the years the two teams have played three games - two draws and one win for Wales.
Probably one of the bettors this meeting will play Gareth Bale to score any time or over 2.5 goals, etc.
Perhaps there will be no small number of cards in this game. Rudeness is also part of their game.
And crosses will be an integral part of their attacks.
Based on all these things have listed and given the high stake - quarter-final, my forecast for this meeting is the number of corners is over 10 with my first and perhaps only this month bet 10 points.
After poor results in friendly matches before the start of the championship many predicted that Wales will leapfrog your group.
"Dragons" But success went to 2: 1 over Slovakia, which put them in an excellent position for their next meetings. The loss of England was quickly overcome with success over Russia and eventually Bale and company won the group.
So players Chris Coleman is dropped in the easier half of the scheme and have the chance to continue to write history. If Aaron Ramsey and Gareth Bale continue with games that showed in the group stage can take his team even further.
And if Wales had serious doubts that will emerge from the group, the Northern Ireland hardly the biggest optimists believed that the group will continue in Germany, Poland and Ukraine. Win 2: 0 against the latter and minimal losses against the favorites and were enough to qualify them as the best third team.
Only two goals conceded against these rivals show the strength of Northern Irish defense, which cashed only eight goals in ten games during qualifying.
Coach Michael O'Neill expressed his satisfaction with the draw as his players play in the Premier League and Championship, and know each other well with their opponents. This gives them additional confidence and assurance that they can continue the quarterfinals, which hardly have dreamed.
Wales are favorites to win and this is normal, having glanced at the individual qualities of the players of both teams. Those of the "dragons" are more classrooms, and on top is a megastar Gareth Bale.
Chief referee of the match will be Martin Atkinson from England.
Wales qualified for the knockout phase after two victories in the group and earned 6 points. In their last meeting, Gareth Bale and company literally scattered Russia and won with 3: 0. Chris Coleman's boys play good football, but their opponent to eighth-finals given every chance to dream team. In the camp of Wales no injured or suspended players. Ben Davis and Sam Vokes hang cards and you have to be careful if they want to take part in a possible quarter-final. Chris Coleman has no reasons to make changes in its composition and will rely on XI defeated Russia.
Probable teams: Wayne Hennessy, James Chester, Ashley Williams, Ben Davies, Chris Gunter, Joe Allen, Joe Ledley, Neil Taylor, Aaron Ramsey, Gareth Bale, Sam Vokes;
Interesting facts about Wales:
Eighthfinal №2: Wales - Northern Ireland Euro 2016
In the first part of the European Cup, Wales managed to overcome the group stage without much difficulty;
Gareth Bale with Álvaro Morata shares first place scorer with 3 goals. Real Madrid striker failed to score in the 3 matches of his team and with the greatest contribution to the good performance of Wales;
Northern Ireland qualified for the knockout phase with only 3 points earned. Boys Michael O'Neill made their way to the game against Wales as one of the best occupied third place in the group. Now Northern Ireland like his opponent could wish for more matches of Euro 2016. Michael O'Neill also no personnel problems and can count on all his players. Craig Katkat, Jonny Evans, Jamie Ward and Stuart Dallas hang cards and you have to be careful if they want to avoid any possible punishment. Michael O'Neill will rely again on the defensive scheme of the game - 4-5-1, with only Kyle Lafferty will harass the Welsh defense.
Probable teams: Michael McGovern, Aaron Hughes, Gareth Macon, Craig Katkat, Jonny Evans, Jamie Ward, Corry Evans, Oliver Norwood, Stephen Davis, Dallas Stewart, Kyle Lafferty;
Interesting facts about Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland also managed to overcome the group stage in their first participation of European finals;
Northern Ireland out for the fourth time at Parc des Princes, still not recorded a victory (P1, H2);
Wales showed great class and literally unravel Russia a few days ago. Northern Ireland again will rely on very closed game and will look for their chances mainly in static positions. Given the presence of players like Gareth Bale, Aaron Ramsey and Joe Allen in Wales, our preferences tend to win for the boys of Chris Coleman.
As it often happens, fans Russian national team after the departure of the national team are beginning to wish that an opponent, who knocked Russia out of the tournament, success - it is not a shame to lose to someone who has achieved success later. In the case of Wales reason to hope for passage of Northern Ireland more than significant.
The first and main argument - Gareth Bale. The main star, able to pull out the match on his mighty shoulders. In the case with the current convocation of the national team to pull out - too disparaging verb. I did not have to pull out, in all matches played Wales deliberately and confidently, with a particular tactical game plan.
The second argument for Wales - Aaron Ramsey. Hated Arsenalski fans great midfielder proved a game against Russia, and his bunch of Bale allowed the team to defend the number and attacking skill - the number of players most attacks at the gate Akinfeev did not exceed two or three people. The number of shots on target in Wales is 4 times greater than that of Russia.
Total strokes per match roughly the same amount was applied. Also, there is equality in other terms: the same time of possession, number of corners, fouls, etc. What does this tell us? The fact that the equal, in general, the game is the result of the master made devastating. It is the master reach the target, scoring, be realized. Masters, who was not in the national team of Russia and the attention, we come to the subject of the forecast - is not and Northern Ireland.
Wales - Northern Ireland: the predicted squads
Wales: Hennessey - Davies, Williams, Chester - Taylor, Ledley Allen, Gunter - Ramsey, Vox, Bale
Northern Ireland: McGovern - Hughes, McAuley, Ketchart Evans - Ward, Evans, Norwood, Davis, Dallas - Washington
Again, as in the game Belgium - Ireland, an analogy with the club English football, but now is not the Premier League and I miss a favorite against the underdog, and the FA Cup and the middle peasants charged, having a part of a couple of stars against a team from the Championship.
So, for example, that the world has shown the Northern Ireland national team in the game against Germany? Nothing. The statistics after the game some fans corrosive found shot on goal in Germany, but could not remember his one - the entire game on the field was only Germany. Only in the first half for the Irish played a bar, beam, nose protector, causal place goalie and terrible bad luck, Thomas Mueller.

However, against the World Champions played. As shown winning a match against Ukraine? A typical British football - the second goal finished the canopy in the penalty area. The second goal was scored because the Ukrainian goalkeeper parried the ball after a long-range strike in front of him, the attacker had no choice but to plant the ball. More attacks at the gate of Ukraine, in fact, was not.
Maybe they were in confrontation with Poland, in the first match? Yes, there were a couple of attempts: fresh, substitute striker Conor Washington from CRC ran one on one with Schestny, but rested the goalkeeper did not even hit the ball. Be able to implement such moments he would not play for the CRC. More it was spectacular, but totally ineffective kick from outside the penalty area by Kyle Lafferty from Norwich. This, alas, everything.

Switzerland - Poland
Round of last 16 Stade Geoffroy Guichard
25/06/2016 16:00 EET
Switzerland was able to eighth-finals without impress!
Switzerland finished second in Group A with a total of 5 points after one win 1: 0 against Albania and two draws - 1: 1 Romania 0: 0 with France. So with only 2 goals scored and one allowed, Crusaders were able to eighth-finals of Euro 2016.
Switzerland has only one win in total 10 his match with Poland so far achieved in the control back in 1976.
Poland is without conceding a goal at Euro 2016 so far!
Poland finished second in Group C of the European Championship with 7 points after two minimum wins with 1: 0 against Northern Ireland and Ukraine and a friendly zero draw with Germany.
And although the band did not allow Polish goal in the group stage, the players of Ukraine, for example, created a lot of points against them, but the lack of class in the final stage left them empty-handed.
Star striker Robert Lewandowski (2.50 to score) not scored in the last 6 games of Poland, and hopes for more in the tournament are related to it.
His colleague Millikan at least scored 1 goal and 1 assist at Euro 2016 so far.
After the group stage these teams are ranked and go against each other. The game of both teams is pretty good and I think both teams deserve promo, but can not happen.
According to Bukit all match with equal performance, but the goal will activate the game for both teams and it could become a factor for at least 3-4 goals in the game.
It must not forget that only Lewandowski is a great striker who could surprise at any time the door of the home team in this meeting.
Both teams have good scorers and I think we can expect quite an interesting clash.
Personally, I expect better performance Poland and I think have more forces in this race.
The teams of Switzerland finished unbeaten in their group and now out in the first second round of Euro 2016.
The team of Poland is the favorite in this match and that is understandable in view shown so far. Lewandowski and company won with 1: 0 Northern Ireland and Ukraine with the same result. Against the third favorite for the title
Germany does escaped zero draw. The team showed good and stable game and not by accident before the start of the race was considered one of the hidden favorites.
The Swiss were not so impressive in the group stage. They won a difficult victory with 1: 0 over debutant Albania, which in much of the match game with a man less. Then "crusaders" made a good game at 1: 1 draw with Romania. Goalless draw against France is not indicative of the performance of the team as the hosts need only a point to finish first in the group.
Poland is definitely the favorite, but the poor performance of the team is a concern. Meanwhile, the Swiss were stable in defense and will look for their chances to surprise the favorites. Perhaps the tie looks more reasonable choice in this clash, especially having in mind the high stakes of the game.
Under 2.5 Goals option is favored in market bets because both teams performed better in defense than in attack in the group stage.
All three matches of the Swiss far failed to pass the limit of 2.5 goals, two of them ended with a stated goal. "Crusaders" scored only two goals but conceded just one.
Three meetings of Poland did ended with marked under 1.5 goals such as "Polish battalion" did not allow a hit in his neck.
Chief referee of the match will be Mark Clattenburg of England.
Switzerland came second in their group behind Team France and ahead of Albania and Romania. Now the Crusaders have an outstanding chance to progress forward in the tournament, as proved in the easy flow that leads to the finish. Vladimir Petkovic no personnel problems with injured or punished players before the match with Poland. Next he will booked out of a possible quarter-final Granit Xhaka, Valon Behrami, Bree embolism and Fabian Shaar. The composition of Switzerland do not expect major surprises. So Harris Seferovitch will again lead the attack once against France in the position of striker saw Bree embolism.
Probable teams: Jan Sommer, Stephan Lichtsteiner, Fabian Shaar, John Dzhoru, Ricardo Rodriguez, Valon Behrami, Granit Xhaka, Xherdan Shaqiri, Admir Mehmed, Blerim Xhemajli, Harris Seferovitch;
Interesting facts about Switzerland:
Eighthfinal №1: Switzerland - Poland Euro 2016
Switzerland qualified for the knockout phase for the first time in the 4 their interests;
The last time Switzerland has played an elimination game of the grand final of the World Cup in 1938;
Switzerland remains unbeaten this championship as crusaders for the first time in its history will play at the stadium in Saint-Etienne;
Poland won 7 points in its group and remained at second place after Germany only because of his goal-difference. Polish battalion also as Switzerland had a great chance to fall in the upper stream, which ensures relatively lighter rivals ahead in the tournament. Wojciech Schesni continues to treat strain he got in the first game of his team Tournament against Northern Ireland. Guard Roma will again be replaced by Lukasz Fabianski in the starting line-up of Poland. The new star of Poles - Bartosz Kapustka even been punished for accumulated yellow cards. His place on the left side of midfield will take Kamil Grositski.
Probable teams: Lukasz Fabianski, Lucas Pishchek, Michal Pazdan, Kamil Glik, Arthur Yedrechuk, Jakub Błaszczykowski, Grzegorz Krihovyak, Krzysztof Machinski, Camille Grositski, Robert Lewandowski, Arkadiusz Millikan;
Interesting facts about Poland:
Poland recorded their first victory of the European Cup, having previously had 3 losses and 3 draws;
Poland is also undefeated at Euro 2016, as recorded 2 wins and 1 draw;
Poland has not received any goal in their last 4 games (3 of which are Euro 2016, including the World Champion - Germany)
Switzerland and Poland seem completely equivalent rivals. We expect very strong tactical battle that can not be solved after 90 minutes. Yet we give a slight advantage for Team Switzerland, which showed against France that has great potential.
Switzerland took place in the playoffs, not having suffered any defeat, and gave the palm to his quartet only team Didier Deschamps. It looks very good result, but if you dig a little deeper, it turns out a little differently. The first meeting in the tournament - and immediately win than not a successful start? But those who have seen this fight, they will say that the game most of the match in the majority of the squad Vladimir Petkovic, looked worse than the weaker names Albania. In fairness, balkantsy all had to pull a draw in this game.
In the second round of the Swiss passed a test of the Romanian national team, and also, admittedly, look unimportant. Yes, it created a lot of chances to score in the opponents' goal, but his if they were less, then not much. In the third meeting sponsored Petkovic played with tournament hosts, but, if agreed, both teams rolled up dull 0: 0, so it is difficult to objectively evaluate this match.
One of the weakest Swiss places - central defense. Djourou and Cher, the players rather modest possibilities, even in spite of the fact that the play is not the weakest clubs. For the player of Hamburg and all usual glory of one of the major tragedies on the football field, so often he was nervous and, as a consequence, is mistaken. But the attack at the Alpines okay: Shakira, Seferovic, Mehmedi and embolism look very formidable weapon.
Switzerland - Poland projected squads
Switzerland: Sommer - Lihshtayner, Djourou, Cher, Rodriguez - Xhaka, Behrami - Shakira, Jemal, Mehmedi - Seferovic
Poland: Fabianski - Pischchek, Glick, Pazdan, Jędrzejczyk - Grzegorz Krychowiak, Monchinski - Grosicki, Milik, Błaszczykowski - Lewandowski
Spare
Switzerland: Hits, Bürki, Elvedi Lang, Mubandzhe, Von Bergen, Fernandes, Fry, Zakaria, Derdiyok, embolism, Tarashay
Poland: Boruc, Szczęsny, Tsionek, Wawrzyniak, Salyamon, Yodlovets, Peszko, Stazhinski, Zielinski, Stempinski
Poles, along with the German national team, became the team that managed to keep its gates shut at the end of the group stage. Of course, the main achievement - a zero with Germany, but objectively speaking, "dimanshaft" in the quartet did not play, and 50% of its capacity. However, Ukrainians, for example, have not been able to crack the defense of the Poles, attacking the gates of their terrible barrage of attacks.
Adam collective Navalki - quite balanced team. There is a leader in every line: Glick, Grzegorz Krychowiak Lewandowski. Many criticized Robert Lewandowski for the fact that he has not scored any goals, but no one notices him a huge amount of work, and then how much attention he distracts the defense on himself, which sometimes is more important than goals scored. If the Swiss are no losses in the composition, then the "red-white" will not play a rising star Bartosz cabbage, which is likely to replace Kamil Grosicki, knowing French fields and not much inferior to the young players.
Switzerland - Poland: readers Forecast
Total more - 3.12
Total less than - 1.42

As is known, the attack wins games, but defense titles. If it suited to the analysis of the match through this prism, Switzerland, with his dashing play and relatively weak protection, inferior collective Adam Navalki. Poland is good on the back of the line and not much inferior in front of the Swiss national team, which is absolutely in every game there were serious problems with the attacks of the enemy. Therefore, it is seen Poles favorite in this confrontation.
