As the European Football Championship rapidly approaches the end of the first round, on Monday we will see three more intriguing matches. The historic return of Scotland Scots have not played in major tournaments since 1998, and for the end of this streak, the team and their fans should be thankful to the cursed Nations League. It was this tournament that opened the doors to EURO 2020 for the Scots. The new generation of Scots has truly interesting footballers, and the biggest star of the team should be called the left-back shining in the "Liverpool" ranks, Andrew Robertson. The midfield will be tried to be cemented by Scott McTominay, who is entrenched in the ranks of "Manchester United", and the goals of this team's fans are awaited from Che Adams. The Czechs also have solid names in their lineup. Strangely enough, Tomas Soucek was one of the key players who allowed the "West Ham" team to dream of a place in the UEFA Champions League. In attack, the Czechs have Patrik Schick, who is established in the ranks of "Bayer". This match will be crucial for both teams in order to think about a place in the knockout stages, as they will still have to compete with Croatia and England in this group. Interestingly, even the bookmakers do not see any clear favorites in this pair, only a slight advantage is given to Scotland.
Lewandowski's start Although the Poles are far from favorites in the championship, they have one of the best footballers in the world in their ranks - Robert Lewandowski, who should be a very important factor in today's match. The Slovaks are considered outsiders in Group E, but compared to other groups, their chances of advancing are not that bad - bookmakers rate them at about 38 percent. These matches should partly answer the question of which team will try to fight for second place in the group, as Spain is clearly the favorite here. Slovakia's leader should still be called veteran Marek Hamsik, and the defense of this team is cemented by Milan Skriniar, who constantly dominates major European clubs and triumphed with "Inter" in the "Serie A" championship. The Poles are given as much as 58 percent chance to win this pair, but the Slovaks should not be written off too soon.
COVID-19 hit the Spaniards Today, the European Championship will begin with the Spaniards, who will face the Swedes, arriving at the championship after all without the injured Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Spaniards are clearly experiencing a generational change, and the team's coach Luis Enrique did not invite the injured Sergio Ramos to the team, a decision that sparked a storm of discussion among the team's fans. As if the problems were not enough, the Spaniards faced the coronavirus just before EURO 2020, due to which they could not enjoy the match against Lithuania, and also had to train individually for a few days. The Swedes will try to take advantage of these Spanish problems, as they have truly interesting players in their ranks. It is necessary to highlight the young attacking talent Alexander Isak, who scored as many as 17 goals last season in the "La Liga" championship. He should be successfully supported by Emil Forsberg, and in the defense line the Swedes have Victor Lindelof from "Manchester United". Bookmakers give the Spaniards more than 75 percent chance of winning, but considering all their problems, the Swedes have a great chance to start EURO 2020 with at least one point.
Order of the fourth day's matches: 16:00 Scotland - Czech Republic 19:00 Poland - Slovakia 22:00 Spain - Sweden
