Tuesday 27 June predictions: The third and final day of the European U21 group stage gets underway today, with the Veikkausliiga also on the pitch.
The third and final day of the group stage of the European Under-21 Championships starts today: Tonight the names of two more teams qualified for the quarter-finals will be known, those of group A. In group B, in fact, everything is already decided: Spain and Ukraine – who have already obtained the pass – will compete for the first place in the group, while Croatia and Romania will try to avoid the humiliation of the last place.
The Netherlands-Georgia and Portugal-Belgium will be in with a chance of making it through. The Netherlands will need to be less wasteful in the goal-scoring zone to beat the tournament surprise, while in Portugal-Belgium a draw would probably be pointless for both teams, so expect a lively match with goals especially in the second half.

Other match predictions
Speaking of goals, watch out for possible overtimes in the Finnish league: the main suspects are Haka-HJK Helsinki and KuPS Kuopio-IFK Mariehamn.
