Netherlands vs Austria
With just one point needed to secure a spot in the Euro 2024 knockout stage, the Netherlands face Austria in their final Group D match on Tuesday. The Netherlands aim to advance to the knockout rounds for the eighth time in their last nine European Championship appearances. They moved closer to this goal by holding tournament favorites France to a 0-0 draw on Friday night.
Austria can win Group D if they take maximum points and France does not. However, if they draw and France loses, Austria will finish third based on head-to-head records. Even one point should be enough for Austria to progress as one of the best third-placed teams, allowing them to reach the knockout rounds for the second consecutive European Championship.
Netherlands Predicted XI: Verbruggen; Dumfries, De Vrij, Van Dijk, Ake; Reijnders, Schouten; Frimpong, Simons, Gakpo; Depay
Austria Predicted XI: Pentz; Posch, Danso, Lienhart, Mwene; Seiwald, Laimer; Wimmer, Baumgartner, Sabitzer; Gregoritsch
France vs Poland
Two-time European champions France will face already-eliminated Poland at Borussia Dortmund’s Westfalenstadion in their final Group D game on Tuesday. Didier Deschamps’s team is second in Group D, behind the Netherlands based on goals scored. Their Polish opponents have finished last and will be disappointed to be the first team eliminated from the competition. Should France finish third, they might face England or Spain in the last 16.
France Predicted XI: Maignan; Kounde, Saliba, Upamecano, Hernandez; Kante, Rabiot; Dembele, Griezmann, Thuram; Mbappe
Poland Predicted XI: Szczesny; Bednarek, Dawidowicz, Kiwior; Frankowski, Zielinski, Slisz, Moder, Zalewski; Swiderski, Lewandowski
England vs Slovenia
England, knowing a point will ensure their qualification for the Euro 2024 last-16, conclude their Group C campaign against Slovenia at the RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne on Tuesday night. A poor performance against Denmark saw the Three Lions escape with a point, while Slovenia also drew with Serbia.
Despite accruing four points from a possible six, Gareth Southgate’s squad has yet to impress fully. Their opponents, Slovenia, are still seeking their first-ever win at a European Championship finals.
England Predicted XI: Pickford; Walker, Stones, Guehi, Trippier; Bellingham, Rice; Saka, Foden, Gordon; Kane
Slovenia Predicted XI: Oblak; Karnicnik, Brekalo, Bijol, Janza; Mlakar, Elsnik, Cerin, Stojanovic; Sporar, Sesko
Denmark vs Serbia
The Allianz Arena in Munich will host a crucial Group C match on Tuesday evening, as Denmark and Serbia battle for a place in the last 16. Serbia, at the bottom of the group standings, have struggled throughout the competition. They managed a 1-1 draw against Slovenia last week but will need to improve significantly in this fixture.
Denmark, meanwhile, sits in second place and has been impressive over the past month. They held England to a 1-1 draw in their previous game and will be looking to secure their knockout stage spot with a strong performance against Serbia.
Denmark Predicted XI: Schmeichel; Andersen, Christensen, Vestergaard; Bah, Hojbjerg, Hjulmand, Maehle; Eriksen; Hojlund, Wind
Serbia Predicted XI: Rajkovic; Veljkovic, Pavlovic, Milenkovic; Zivkovic, Ilic, Lukic, Mladenovic; Tadic, Milinkovic-Savic; Mitrovic
