Bet of the day

Ukraine to beat North Macedonia – ITV, 2pm

Ukraine have lost their last six games at the European Championship finals but they looked a good side against the Netherlands and should topple North Macedonia, who are the tournament's lowest ranked team.

First goalscorer fancy of the day

Ukraine v North Macedonia – ITV, 2pm

Attacking midfielder Ruslan Malinovskiy popped up with an assist in Ukraine's 3-2 loss to the Netherlands and can get on the scoresheet in the Romanian capital.

Best bet
Ruslan Malinovskiy to score the first goal

Player to be carded

Denmark v Belgium – ITV, 5pm

Danish holding midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg wasted a glorious opportunity when his penalty was saved against Finland but his main task is to restrict opposition attacks and he looks a likely yellow card recipient against Belgium.

Best bet
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg to be carded

Man of the match

Netherlands v Austria – BBC 1, 8pm

Classy attacking midfielder Marcel Sabitzer was at the heart of Austria's best moves against North Macedonia and his quality could shine through against a Netherlands side who take a few chances in defence.

Best bet
Marcel Sabitzer to be man of the match
