Betting on Wednesday 28 June: The third and final day of the European U21 group stage comes to a close, with the Norway Cup also on the line.
Last day of the group stage of the European Under-21 Championship with Italy in the hunt for qualification to the quarter-finals. Against Norway the three points are needed, hoping that the nightmare scenario of a “biscuit” between Switzerland and France, which would eliminate Nicolato’s Azzurrini, does not become reality.
A biscuit that is actually difficult to ‘bake’: it is not a draw, but a victory for Switzerland with a one-goal difference from 3-2 to go up, with which France would finish the round in second place, then forced to face Spain in the quarter-finals.
Other match predictions
In the other group, elimination-threatened Germany go in search of three points against already-qualified England in a goal-scoring affair, but the Czech Republic are ready to make it all go away by avoiding defeat to Israel in a game with at least two goals in total.
