Referee:‬ J. Eriksson

Netherlands 
 
Some big calls will need to be made by Bert van Marwijk after the surprise defeat to Denmark in their opening game at the weekend. His side had more shots off target (22) than any club had in a game in Europe's top 5 leagues this season, and they will have to work on their finishing if they are to do as well as many had tipped them to at Euro 2012.
 
One of those decisions is whether to include Klaas-Jan Huntelaar to add some extra threat in front of goal. Ibrahim Afellay may be the one to drop out, while Robin van Persie would then move out wide. However, It was an off day for the Dutch and they may well stick to their guns with the same starting XI.
 
Joris Mathijsen has recovered from the injury that kept him out of the Denmark game and trained with the squad for the first time at the weekend. Van Marwijk has said he should be fit, so he may come in for Ron Vlaar.

Denmark 
 
With no fresh injury concerns, Denmark are likely to name the same side that pulled off the shock result of the first round of fixtures by beating the Netherlands 1-0.
 
Therefore the true hero for the Danes, keeper Stephan Andersen, will keep his place ahead of Lindegaard, whilst Jacobsen and Zimling should also start ahead of Wass and Poulsen.
 
Lasse Schone will hope to start ahead of Rommedahl on the opposite flank to goalscorer Krohn-Dehli.

Poland vs Russia Preview : EURO 2012 Qualifying - Group A

Pre Match

Stadion Narodowy — Warszawa

Poland 
 
Poland will be without their suspended first-choice goalkeeper after his sending off in the opening game against Greece. Przemyslaw Tyton replaced him and saved a penalty with his first touch in that game, so he will start against the Russians here.
 
Otherwise, Poland are likely to be unchanged from the team that drew last time out, though one rumoured change could see Obraniak drop out and Dudka come in. Dangerman Robert Lewandowski will again lead the line, providing the main goal threat for the Poles.

Greece 
 
After a shaky display in the opener, keeper Chalkias' place in the starting XI could come under threat from Sifakis. Avraam Papadopoulos' tournament is sadly already over after he returned to Greece having torn the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee against Poland.
 
His starting defensive partner Sokratis is suspended after a somewhat harsh dismissal in the first half of Friday's match, meaning youngster Kyriakos Papadopoulos may be partnered by veteran midfielder Katsouranis in defence.
 
Salpingidis will surely start after an excellent goalscoring cameo against the co-hosts, while Fourtounis will also hope to feature.

Ukraine vs Sweden Preview : EURO 2012 Qualifying - Group D

Ukraine 
 
Ukraine must choose between Artem Milvskiy, Andrey Voronin, Marko Devic and veteran Andrey Shevchenko to start up front, with their main threat coming from wide areas.
 
Youngsters Konoplyanka and, in particular, Yarmolenko will have a heavy creative burden on their shoulders in front of the home crowd, with a lot of pressure on them to produce at the age of 22.
 
Anatoliy Tymoshchuk will hope to protect a fragile backline, with right-back Gusev given a licence to support attacks occasionally.
