Finland or draw against Russia
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.

Finland or draw double chance
Turkey v Wales
BBC One, 5pm
Turkey's Euro 2020 campaign got off to a false start in Rome but a more positive performance can clinch three points against Wales, who were fortunate to draw 1-1 with Switzerland on Saturday.

Turkey
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.

Best bet
Italy -1 on Asian handicap
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
