Here We Go! After taking 36 games to elimate eight nations the European Championships step up a gear on Saturday as the knock-out stages of the competition explode in to action.
Either Wales or Denmark will be first to book a quarter-final berth when they meet in Amsterdam in the 5pm kick-off, live on BBC One.
The Welsh could've done a whole lot worse than be handed a tie with Denmark in the last 16. The Danes are currently ranked 10th in the official FIFA World Rankings, placing them above the likes of Germany (12th), Croatia (14th) and Netherlands (16th) but the Dragons aren't far behind them in 17th and this is an eminently winnable tie for Robert Page's side.
In Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey they'll have the two best players on the park on their day but they're ably assisted by a strong supporting cast and a club mentality that could see them emulate their wonderful success of 2016 that saw them elimanted by eventual winners Portugal in the semi-finals.
Sure the Danes have extra motivation to go deep in to the competition on behalf of the stricken Christian Eriksen but 2/5 on them to qualify seems extremely short. Conversely then the 7/4 on Wales to march on to the quarters looks worth taking on.
Saturday's other match sees the Italian juggernaut arrive at Wembley for a knock-out tie with Austria. Roberto Mancini's side have been untouchable at the tournament so far and are now a remarkable 30 matches unbeaten.
Even more astounding is their 11-game run without conceding. 9/20 to win becomes a much healthier 6/5 when you take Italy to win to nil. Like the great Italian teams of the past this particular vintage just love to defend but they're no slouches going forward either. The Azzurri should see off Austria, who racked up six points in Group C, to set-up a mouth-watering quarter-final clash with either Belgium or Portugal in Munich.
Greg's Bet of the Day takes in the Euros and MLS for a nice-looking 33/20 Double. Don't miss it.
If you've been following the Australian A-League then a little heads up that it's the Grand Final on Sunday morning, live on BT Sport, between Melbourne City and Sydney FC. Tolu has already penned his preview for the match if you fancy a punt.

played in Egypt !!!
Djibouti v Tajikistan
BTTS 3-1. (HILLS)
The only bookies offering btts on this game !!!!!!!
Huge price and could beover priced as Tajikistan 1-80 favourite have only ever played 2 games, though should win easily as Djibouti are rubbish, but if they are like their senior team they tend to be slack at the back
You need to back about 6 match goals to get evens at the bookies so they think it will be 5 or 6-0.
I’m hoping they score plenty then let Djibouti score later on ?
⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽
Wales v Denmark
Inplay Over 2.5 goals at 13/8 there has to be more goals Wales have to chase the game which is going to leave them open unless they score which they don’t look like doing.

BTTS and over 2.5 goals 6-4 ⚽ NB ⚽
Both sides seen BTTS in their 3 league games so far, and 2 of each team’s 3 btts been against same opponents, goianesa and Porto velho..
BTTS at EVENS very possible if my NAP wins but price to close to 4-5 for a home goal to bother with.
Prediction brasiliense btts and win
??????????????????????????
No joy with my bets in the Wales game LOSERS
To easy for the Danes
How long have going to get how good England are there an average team who are not in the same class as the the beckhams gascoigne scholes lampard and Gerrard and will never be near them but usual their a great team the team they have are too full of them selves I e the greileshes the mounts and so on they would not get a game with Moore’s and the Charlton years ago they would have chased them
Yes George, they are sh1t we know they are sh1t but just let us believe for a few weeks, like we do every time, that they have a chance.
