FotMob Daily Briefing: Four things to look out for on Day 3 at the Euros

FotMob Daily Briefing: Four things to look out for on Day 3 at the Euros

Partager

Euro 2024 is up and running and we’re now in to the glorious three-game match days! Now, In this daily feature on FotMob, which is going to run for the entirety of the tournament, here are four things you should look out for across day three of the competition as Poland face the Netherlands, Slovenia entertain Denmark, while Serbia and England clash in the final game of the day.

Goals, goals, goals 

Netherlands have really found their feet over recent matches. Ronald Koeman’s men have scored 19 goals in their last five outings and have suffered just one defeat during this run, a 2-1 loss against Germany. 

On paper, 4-0 wins over Iceland and Canada might not seem like much to write home about but Iceland beat England at Wembley while Canada held France to a 0-0 draw earlier this month.

The fact the Netherlands were able to just sweep these teams aside is an indication that they should be taken seriously as contenders. Surprisingly though, they aren’t viewed as one of the favourites. A strong start could see people change their opinions and a first final appearance since 1988 could be on the cards if things continue to go their way. 

No goals, no goals, no goals 

Poland don’t have the best record at the European championships. 

For starters, Michał Probierz’s side have finished bottom of their group in three of the four competitions they have qualified for. Many are tipping them to finish dead last in Group D having been drawn with Netherlands, France and Austria. 

Despite being able to call upon Robert Lewandowski (although not here, thanks to his injury), goals have been a problem for Poland over the years at the Euros. In fact, they have scored over one goal in just one of their 14 matches in this competition and though they have been amongst the goals in their recent fixtures, the likelihood of that carrying over into the summer tournament is not high. 

Giants 

Denmark are viewed by a lot of people as dark horses. 

They have bounced back from a shocking performance at the 2022 World Cup where they finished bottom of a group containing France, Australia, and Tunisia. They topped their qualification group for Euro 2024 and conceded just 10 goals across their 10 matches. 

The Danes will be looking to repeat the heroics of Euro 2020 when they reached the semi-final stage only to lose to England. 

Kasper Hjulmand’s men have solid foundations and potential difference-makers in the forward line. They are set up well for knockout football. But one thing that people are overlooking is just how physical this squad is. Of the 26 players within the squad, 22 are over 6ft.  

This powerhouse group of players really does have the potential to cause an upset or two this summer. 

England expects

Heading into Euro 2024, England are viewed as favourites by many. 

The Three Lions made it all the way to the final of Euro 2020 and reached the quarter-final stage of the 2022 World Cup. Their squad is littered with talent and Gareth Southgate’s biggest concern is how he manages to fit so many world-class players into a balanced XI. It is a nice problem to have. 

Yet England arrive in Germany in poor form. Their 3-0 win over Montenegro is their only victory in their last four outings and they suffered a shock 1-0 loss to Iceland last time out. 

They are up against a Serbia side making their first appearance at the European Championships since 2000. They’ll have a point to prove and England might not have the stomach for the battle on matchday one. 

The pressure is on. How will they handle it?
