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.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
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.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">

<div class="team-name note rc-t">
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.</div>

Joachin Loew could stick with the same starting XI that beat Portugal in
their first Euro 2012 match, with Mario Gomez leading the line ahead of
Miroslav Klose once again.</div>

<div class="team-name note rc-t">
There were murmurs that Lars Bender may have started the last game at
right-back, but in the end Jerome Boateng got the nod, and he should
start again. Hummels had a great game at centre-back and could start again ahead of Per Mertesacker.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Prediction</b></span><br />
This game has been billed as one of the top games of the group stages
and both teams have been backed as potential winners of the competition.
This match was expected to decide which team would finish top of the
group, but after the Netherlands' disappointing result against Denmark,
it might well decide whether they even make it through to the
quarter-finals.<br />
<br />
Both teams have a wealth of attacking talent and could, and possibly
should, have scored more in their first fixture, so it will be
interesting to see whether or not they can find their feet in this game.<br />
<br />
Nerves will be high and the Dutch will be desperate for a result, but
they must make sure they do not get frustrated and let their performance
drop as a result. A draw would keep both teams in the running without
guaranteeing that either is through, and that may well be the result.<br />

Therefore the true hero for the Danes, keeper Stephan Andersen, will

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Prediction</b></span></div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
Despite an outstanding result against the Netherlands, Denmark may feel
that they still need to secure at least a draw in this match, with
Germany to play in the last round of fixtures.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
Portugal will feel that they must win this game if they have any chance
of progressing to the quarter-finals, so they are likely to be the more
attacking of the two sides, with the Danes happy to soak up the pressure
and try and hold out for another clean sheet.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
Cristiano Ronaldo may be able have more of an influence against a weaker
full-back in Lars Jacobsen and could be the key to victory for
Portugal, which would make this group extremely interesting going into
the final round of fixtures.</div>

<b>Poland</b> </div>

<div class="team-name note rc-t">
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.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
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.</div>

<b>Russia</b> </div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
Russia's first-choice 'keeper Igor Akinfeev has trained without any
recurrence of his knee injury, though he did so with heavy strapping on
the area. Malafeev, his replacement in the last game also has a knock,
but should be fine to start if Akinfeev does not make it.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
Roman Pavlyuchenko performed extremely well when he came on against the
Czech, picking up a goal and an assist in the 16 minutes he was on the
pitch. Alexander Kerzhakov looked dangerous but was off the mark with
his finishing, so his place in the starting lineup this time round is in
doubt.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span id="divAdnetKeyword">Prediction</span></b></span><br />
Poland will have been disappointed not to have beaten Greece last time
out, after going a goal up and having a one man advantage for a sizeable
portion of the game. They will, however, have been buoyed by the fact
that they did not throw the game away after Szczesny was sent off.<br />
<br />
Russia, meanwhile, stormed to an impressive 4-1 win over the Czech
Republic last time out, and will be hoping for a repeat performance here
against one of the host nations. Alan Dzagoev and Andrey Arshavin will
be the ones to watch out for, and Poland will have to stop them if they
are to stand any chance of victory.<br />
<br />
Poland need a victory and once again the home crowd will give them a
boost, but they faded against the Greeks and if Russia put in another
good performance they will be too strong.<br />

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.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
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.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">

Salpingidis will surely start after an excellent goalscoring cameo
against the co-hosts, while Fourtounis will also hope to feature.</div>

The Czech's have no fresh injury concerns going into Tuesday's game but
will have been hurt by a crushing 4-1 defeat to Russia on the opening
day. Goalscorer Vaclav Pilar was impressive despite the defeat and will keep his place on the left wing.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
Elsewhere the likes of Petrzela and Hubschmann will hope to start in
place of Rezek and Jiracek, while Pekhart, Lafata and Necid are waiting
in the wings if Milan Baros is dropped.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Prediction</b></span><br />
The Czech Republic will feel that they may need to win this game to have
any chance of qualifying, with a draw perhaps not good enough to take
into their final game with Poland having conceded 4 to Russia last time
out.<br />
<br />
Greece will feel relieved after they looked dead and buried at half time
against Poland, trailing 1-0 and with a man down. The draw may have
felt like a victory had Karagounis not missed a penalty that could have
won them the game.<br />
<br />
Santos' side face group favourites Russia last so are also likely to
look to seal all 3 points knowing that Dick Advocaat's team are in
excellent form, which should mean that there are goals in this match.<br />

Sweden's full-backs will need to be on the top of their game against

between Ibrahimovic, dropping deep, and Tymoshchuk.</div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Prediction</b></span><br />
Ireland will play as usual and look to build from a potential clean
sheet. However, they must try to open Croatia up at some stage, knowing
that an unlikely progression from Group C may hinge on a win in this one
and attempting to pick up a draw with Spain or Italy.<br />
<br />
Croatia will need their creative players to be on top form to break down
a resolute and well-drilled Ireland defence, so Luka Modric could be
the key to this game. If Ireland can shackle the Spurs man they may have
a real chance.<br />
<br />
Both sides will see this as a must win game but Croatia are more likely
to look to control possession and though a draw doesn't really help
either side, it could be the most likely outcome.<br />

These two countries' Euro 2012 preparations could not really have been
more contrasting - Spain won all 3 of their warm-up games, with little
to worry about, while Italian football has been shrouded in controversy
after the latest match-fixing allegations, which were followed up by the
friendly against Luxembourg being cancelled due to an earthquake in the
region, before a resounding 3-0 loss to Russia.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
Italy have had their preparations for the tournament disrupted and may
be affected as a result, while Spain have had a smooth ride, here both
during and since qualifying. The Spaniards will be confident of a win
here and a good run in the tournament, with a view to retaining the the
trophy they won in 2008.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
A 2-1 win for the Italians when these sides met in a friendly last
August will not count for much at all, though this will certainly still
be a closely fought game. However, this time around, Spain should take
the spoils and start of Euro 2012 in the manner many will expect of
them.</div>

There has been much speculation in the weeks leading up to Euro 2012
about whether Dutch manager Bert van Marwijk would opt to play both his
star strikers Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Robin van Persie, despite
favouring a 4-2-3-1 formation. In qualifying, van Persie was often
deployed on the right side of the attacking midfield trio, but he played
the lone striker role in last weekend's friendly against Northern
Ireland, scoring twice in a 6-0 demolition.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
Ibrahim Afellay also impressed in that game, scoring a very good goal
and winning a penalty. He could well start this game as a result in the
same attacking lineup, leaving van Marwijk with some outstanding options
on the bench, with Huntelaar, van der Vaart and Kuyt all likely to
feature as well.</div>

There have been doubts of late over Christian Eriksen's form, but there
is little doubt about his place in the starting eleven given the

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span id="divAdnetKeyword">Prediction</span></b></span><br />
<br />
The Netherlands are up there with the favourites to win Euro 2012 given
the vast depths of attacking talent in their squad, but questions do
still remain over their defensive options and whether that backline will
be able to deal with the very best that Europe can provide. They have
struggled to replace Giovanni van Bronckhorst at left-back and that is
where they might struggle, and also where the Danes may profit in this
game.<br />
<br />
Netherlands warmed up for the finals with a 6-0 rout of Northern Ireland
last week, and though Denmark will put up more of a fight, the Dutch
must be favourites here.<br />
<br />
Rafael van der Vaart has highlighted the fact that his side are in the
competitions' 'Group of Death' and that their opponents here should not
be underestimated. Denmark have some quality players including youngster
Christian Eriksen, who plies his trade in Holland, and could cause an
upset, but that outcome is quite unlikely, and Netherlands should pick
up an essential win if they are to win this group. The sides last met in
the group stage at the 2010 World Cup, when the Dutch ran out 2-0
victors. A similar scoreline this time around is not too unlikely.<br />

<div class="team-name note rc-t">
Sporting Lisbon's Marat Izmailov was the only slight injury concern
coming into the tournament but he is back in full training and will vie
for a starting berth with youngster Alan Dzagoev, alongside captain
Arshavin.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
The more mobile option of Alexander Kerzhakov looks favoured over Pavlyuchenko and Pogrebnyak up front.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
The only other position that may be up for grabs is a place between the
posts, with Akinfeev hoping to stave off competition from Malafeev
despite training separately from the group with a knee problem over the
weekend.</div>

<b>Czech Republic </b></div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
The Czech's will be relieved that playmaker Tomas Rosicky has overcome
any injury concerns prior to the tournament to be in contention and he
should start in behind the striker as he did in the last half of the
season to great effect with Arsenal.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
Striker Milan Baros, however, does have a muscular problem and underwent
a scan on Wednesday as a precaution, with the likes of Necid and
Pekhart in reserve.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
Other key players will include experienced internationals such as Cech,
Kadlec and Plasil, with the winger spots potentially the only ones up
for grabs.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Prediction</b></span></div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
Russia will probably go into what is undoubtedly seen as the weakest
group at the tournament as the favourites to progress, though every game
is likely to be extremely tight, with this one no different.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
Both of these teams are very experienced at this level, and both
managers will be looking to their creators in attacking midfield to
spark some magic that could decide this game.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
As is customary on the opening day of such a big tournament, the match
could be an edgy encounter at first and will be decided by the team that
settle into their style of play the quickest, and Russia will hope to
impose themselves on the group with a win here.</div>

<div class="team-name note rc-t">
Poland have no new injury concerns ahead of the curtain raiser at Euro

competition in front of their own fans.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
</div>

Star man Robert Lewandowski will lead the line, providing the Poles'
main goal threat ahead of Ludovic Obraniak, who has had an impressive
season in Ligue 1.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">

<div class="team-name note rc-t">
Lukasz Piszczek was highest rated right-back in the top 5
European leagues this season, contributing with 4 goals and 7 assists
in the Bundesliga. He likes to get forwards and will certainly do so for
his country. </div>

<b>Greece</b></div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
There will be competition at centre-back between the two Papadopoulos's,
Kyriakos and Avraam. Kyriakos has youth on his side and has had a
decent season at Schalke this year. He also picked up the winning goal
in last week's 1-0 friendly win over Armenia.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
The main problem for Greece in recent weeks has been the lack of an out
and out goal scorer - in their two warm-up friendlies in recent weeks
they scored 2 goals, with both goals coming from defenders. That is
something that they will need to improve on if they are to make headway
in Group A at Euro 2012.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
They do not, though, concede many goals and will be typically difficult
to break down. When they won the competition in 2004, their team was
built on a solid defence and things will be the same this time around.</div>

</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
Euro 2012 begins here with what some might describe as one of the
lower-profile matches this tournament will host. However, that will in
no way detract from the occasion, with two nations with fantastic
support come together. In European club competition, both Poland and
Greece are difficult places to go to due to the passionate crowds, and
this will be a typically noisy affair.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
Both teams have prepared for the competition in positive yet understated
manners in friendlies - although neither team lost any of those games,
they were largely played against teams that will not provide the same
challenge as any of the games they will play at Euro 2012. The only game
in which either team scored more than once was in Poland's 4-0 win over
lowly Andorra last weekend, and not much at all can be drawn from that
result.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
Further, the last time these sides met was in a goalless draw in a
friendly in March 2011, and that may well set the precedent for this
match. Both sides pride themselves on solid defensive displays, whilst
trying to catch their opponents out when they get drawn forward. With
the added fact that this is the first game of the competition, nerves
and tensions will be high, and this could be a cagey affair, decided by
the odd goal.</div>

<div class="team-name note rc-t">
<br /></div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
Portugal come into this game off of the back of consecutive 0-0 draws,
most recently and disappointingly against Macedonia, which goes against
the stereotype that they are a real attacking threat but weak at the
back.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
Portugal will, as usual, look to attack down the flanks, though Turkey's
most dangerous players are also stationed wide and the opposing
full-backs will need to be on the ball.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
The fact that Turkey are without the experienced Gokhan Gonul to face
Ronaldo could be an issue and one can expect the Portugal captain to
steal the headlines here.</div>

</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
Netherlands are one of the favourites to win Euro 2012, and will be huge
favourites to comfortably win here, given that Northern Ireland did not
even qualify and have a severely weakened squad at their disposal.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
Bert van Marwijk will experiment with his players and will possibly use
this as an opportunity to test how well his 2 star strikers can work
together, with van Persie out on the right, as he was deployed for much
of their qualifying campaign.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
Northern Ireland will not expect to get anything out of this game and
will play without any pressure on them. They will struggle against the
might of the Dutch, who simply have much better players in their ranks,
and even if they rest a lot of those, the score should still never
really be in doubt.</div>

It was announced on Wednesday that David Villa would definitely not be
fit in time to play at the European Championships this summer due to the
broken leg he suffered back in December. He missed the majority of the
season as a result and has finally given up any hope of making it back
in time for the Euros. Spain are also set to be without Carles Puyol due to a knee injury.</div>

Spain play this friendly with a squad that is likely to be changed
significantly before the final one is selected for the European
Championships. Some of their players here will not make the final cut
for the Euros so will be looking to impress before the Barcelona and
Athletic Bilbao players are brought in.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
Spain are always expected to dominate their games, even without the
likes of Xavi and Iniesta, given the vast array of talent in the ranks.
Serbia, meanwhile, will be able to play under no pressure as they failed
to qualify for the Euros. New manager Mihajlovic has said he will quit
if he fails to get them to the 2014 World Cup, but the result against
Spain is unlikely to mean much.</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
</div>
<div class="team-name note rc-t">
Spain should take control of the game and break a stubborn Serbia
defence down with their patient passing game, though they won't be at
their best due to their missing players.</div>

Ajax playmaker Christian Eriksen will be the key man in behind lone

Down in the Stade Geoffrey-Guichard this game is absolutely huge in the

only one point above Les Verts. The home side led by Christophe Galtier

Bordeaux are in pole position after Yoan Gouffran’s 90th minute penalty

Toulouse record of five games without a win has seen their season end in
a whimper, however they do have a slight hope of playing in the Europa

Of course for the islanders of Ajaccio anything but a win could see them
drop back down to Ligue 2 at the first attempt. So many different
possibilities on the final day but with their weaker goal difference
they would need to pick up at least a point to have any hope of
survival. </div>

This is the only game were both teams could possibly go down.
Valenciennes would be devastated to go from 12th to 18th on the last day
but only two points clear of Ajaccio, it could happen. Of course every
team below them would have to win, when you consider the six teams below
them have a combined total of 9 wins in 36 games, this is a very remote
possibility.</div>
