Greece v Russia v Turkey , Saturday, Live on ITV 1, k/o
19:45pm
Greece and Russia both enter this game knowing it is a must win if they stand
any chance of qualifying, and it will be interesting to see whether this affects
Greece’s approach to the game. Their ‘anti-football’ managed to stifle Sweden
for nearly 70 minutes on Wednesday, and neutrals will hope they do not turn in a
similar performance against the Russians. In complete contrast to their
opponents, the Russians were punished for their positive approach by the
impressive Spaniards, who consistently caught them on the break. The Russians
will be sweating on the fitness of their main striker Roman Pavluchenko, who
managed to score a late consolation against Spain, and will be vital for the
Russians bid for the quarter finals.

Switzerland v Portugal , Live on ITV 1, Sunday, k/o 19:45pm
Switzerland will be looking to pull back some respect against group winners
Portugal in Basel, having already missed out on qualification. They face a tough
task to end their competition on a high, as Ronaldo and co. continue to build
momentum as they enter the knockout stages. Their 3-1 win over the Czechs was
not as convincing as it sounds, with their early lead being cancelled out by
Libo Sionko, and they were pushed all the way till Ricardo Quaresma sealed the
game in the 90th minute. New Chelsea manager Phil Scolari will have to decide
whether to stick with the a winning side as the quarter finals loom, or use this
game as a chance to rest some of his stars.

Turkey v Czech Republic , Live on ITV 1, Sunday, k/o 19:45pm
The biggest game of the weekend takes place in Geneva on Sunday as Turkey face
the Czech Republic in a winner takes all battle for the final qualification
place from Group A. The two sides have identical records entering this game, and
UEFA have confirmed that should the game end in draw penalties will decide the
winner, without the need for the usual 30 minutes extra time. This should lead
to a fascinating encounter, and it is Turkey who will arguably go into the game
with more confidence following their injury time winner against the Swiss. Arda
Turan’s 90th minute winner put Turkey on the brink of qualification, and it will
be to him and Middlesbrough’s Tuncay who the Turks look to take them into the
quarter finals for only the second time ever.
The Czech’s will have to recover from their 3-1 loss to Portugal, and may change
tactics and employ giant Jan Koller up front alongside Milan Baros to present a
physical presence to the Turks defence. Without the inspirational Pavel Nedved
the Czechs lack their former quality, but still have a strong enough backbone
with keeper Petr Cech and their lively forwards to cause Turkey problems. BGbet
make the Czechs 13/10 favourites in 90 minutes, while VC are 11/5 about the draw
and a penalty shoot out to decide the second qualifier from Group A.
