Turkey to beat Wales

Italy to beat Switzerland

Russia were utterly clueless for large parts of their 3-0 loss to Belgium and their frustrations could grow with a failure to defeat Finland. Elsewhere Italy can stay in charge of Group A with a home win over Switzerland while Wales could succumb to Turkey.

Finland v Russia

BBC One, 2pm

Finland got off to a flyer with their 1-0 success in Copenhagen and they can add at least another point against the Russians, who looked well off the pace in their 3-0 loss to Belgium.

Italy v Switzerland

ITV, 8pm

Italy played with a lot of intensity and quality in their 3-0 success over Turkey and can follow it up with a comfortable success over Switzerland, who lack a killer instinct in front of goal.

Bet of the day

Finland or draw against Russia

Russia were outclassed by Belgium on Saturday night, leaving them with just three victories in the last 12 games, and they may struggle to bounce back against the defensive-minded Finns, who are a tricky team to play against.

First goalscorer fancy of the day

Wales v Turkey

Wales were let off the hook at the weekend by some errant Swiss finishing but they could be punished by Turkey target man Burak Yilmaz, who has netted 29 goals in 68 internationals.

Best bet
Burak Yilmaz to score the first goal

Player to be carded

Italy v Switzerland

Switzerland midfielder Granit Xhaka saw plenty of the ball against Wales but he will have to do a lot more destructive work against Italy and could pick up his first yellow card of the tournament.

Best bet
Granit Xhaka to be carded

Man of the match

Wales v Turkey

Turkey are likely to see a lot more of the ball than they did against Italy in Rome and a lot of their best moves could go through talented attacking midfielder Hakan Cahanoglu, who looks a strong man-of-the-match candidate.

Best bet
Hakan Cahanoglu to be man of the match
