Finland made a good start to the tournament, beating Denmark in an emotional match where Christian Eriksen suffered cardiac arrest. Finland will be out to register yet another win which will almost guarantee them a safe passage into the last 16, but it will not be easy against a wounded Russian outfit who will be looking for their first set of points.
Russia got off to a bad start to this year’s tournament as they were thoroughly beaten 3-0 by Belgium. The 2018 world cup hosts will be looking to turn their fortunes around when they face Finland but they will have to improve from their shambolic performance against the Belgians.
Finland are this groups underdogs as this tournament is their first ever major tournament appearance, but Russia must be very careful in order to avoid being beaten by these minnows. Russia will obviously take an offensive approach in this match because anything less than a win will be disastrous to their campaign.

Turkey vs Wales Tips
This a make or break tie for both Turkey and Wales because they both failed to register wins in the first match and they will be out to collect maximum points. Turkey have a huge disadvantage in this group because they have a -3 goal difference after the first match and they will need to beat Wales with a huge scoreline in order for them to have a positive goal difference.
Wales will be feeling a bit more confident because they played particularly well in their opening fixture and were unlucky to come out without maximum points. With stars such as Gareth Bale, Aaron Ramsey and Daniel James at their disposal, Wales will be favourites to win but there are no guarantees in tournament football and Turkey might surprise them.
This match promises to be a good watch and you can certainly expect an improved performance from Turkey.

Italy vs Switzerland Tips
Italy are the huge favourites to top this group and this is so because Roberto Mancini has assembled a group of talented players who are just blowing the world away with some great performances. Italy are on a 28 game unbeaten streak and it does not look like Switzerland will break that record judging from their opening match against Wales. Italy have an exciting squad which features the likes of Bonucci, Jorginho, Nicolo Barella, Immobile and Insigne amongst others.
After failing to win their first match, Switzerland will be hoping to win this match against Italy to enhance their chances of progressing to the next stage of the competition, but that will be a huge task because Italy are a well oiled machine which some are beginning to see them as outside favourites at this tournament.
