THE group stage comes to an end at Euro 2024 tonight and there should be plenty of thrills with seven of the eight sides in action still in with a shout of reaching the last 16.
Most of the drama should come in Group E where Belgium, Romania, Ukraine and Slovakia all head into the final clash sitting on three points.
The Belgians were expected to breeze through that section with Ukraine favourites for runners-up slot but they face off in Stuttgart with tension hanging in the air.
Goal difference is keeping Ukraine bottom of the pile just now so they need a draw at least – but even that might not be enough if the other game also ends level.
So it's a night where we should see plenty of twists and turns before finding out who has booked a place in the knockout stages and who is left sprawled on the canvas.

Ukraine v Belgium Top Betting Tips
Lots of the final group games have been cagey so far with over 2.5 goals failing to land in seven of the eight matches. But there's so much attacking talent on show in this game that it bodes well for plenty of goalmouth action.
Over 2.5 strikes pays just 4/6 with Betfred but if you combine that with BTTS then the odds increase to 21/20.
Player bets probably offer most value though and Youri Tielemans is 13/8 for a shot on target after scoring a cracker in Belgium's last game.
Ukraine playmaker Heorhii Sudakov has looked a threat in their first two games and he's evens in the same market.
Slovakia vs Romania Top Tips
The other Group E game is a tough one to call with Slovakia and Romania looking equally matched on the evidence of their games so far.
That makes the half-time draw appealing but the odds are poor at just 8/13 while under 2.5 goals is even shorter at 2/5.
The Slovaks have collected just one card across their two games so it might be a good idea to back Romania for most cards at 11/8.
Backing Denis Dragus for a shot on target didn't pay off for me against Belgium but he should still lead the line for Romania and the same bet looks good value at 5/4 against weaker opposition.
Georgia vs Portugal Top Tips
Georgia were written off ahead of their first appearance at a major finals but they have performed admirably and head into their final Group F game with Portugal knowing a win would take them into the last 16.
The Portuguese have looked a cut above the rest of the teams in this section but I'd imagine Roberto Martinez will make lots of changes with his team already assured of a place in the knockout rounds.
The Georgians should have a go and there might be value in backing BTTS and over 2.5 goals at 11/10.
The likes of Joao Felix, Goncalo Ramos and Diogo Jota could start for Portugal as Martinez freshens things up. Liverpool star Jota is 11/8 for anytime scorer and that looks good if he gets the nod.
Czech Republic vs Turkey Top Tips
Turkey's incredible fans will make this feel like a home game for them again and they will need that support as they seek the point that will guarantee a place in the last 16.
The Czechs need to go all out for a win having banked just a point so far and that should make for an entertaining game. Over 9.5 corners looks good at 5/6 while combining BTTS and over 2.5 goals pays 11/10 for this one.
Mojmír Chytil looks set to deputise for crocked Czech striker Patrik Schick and the Slavia Prague ace is 12/5 to grab his 23rd goal of the season.

Both BETWAY
The have met twice In the last month with a 1-1 draw here and a 3-1 brave fc win in the other so why not.
In May the game here had BTTS at 8-11 and today it’s 13-10 which is a bit odd so maybe bookies are party to some information here but hey ho, that’s the gamble
Prediction 1-2
Is ‘Brave FC’ the same team as Inter Gainesville Elvis?
William hills call them the villages kf.
Most bookies list them as brave SC as do flash score 👍
They are now 5-4 to score at BETWAY by the way …
Cheers Elvis
