Spain vs France Match Analysis
Spain vs France is a battle of quality and tactics going into the fixture as we see two coaches with different ideologies trying to secure a win which would automatically provide the EURO 2024 final qualification. Spain have arguably been the best side in the tournament so far and France have continued to struggle in front of goal.
Spain with the quality they possess in front of goal have continued to be ruthless on the attack with the defence line also standing as one of the best in the tournament so far.
It is expected that they come firing on all cylinders in the fixture against France following their shocking defeat at the UEFA Nations League at the hands of Les Blues at the UEFA Nations League in 2021.
France possesses the best midfield unit in the tournament so far with the solid effort of the former Chelsea man N'Golo Kante.
Spain is expected to win this fixture given their clinical ability in front of goal but the experience of France at this stage of the competition can not also be ruled out as well.
We select Spain as the winner of this fixture and as one of the countries that would qualify for the UEFA Euro 2024 final.

England vs Netherlands match analysis
Perfectly poised to be an interesting and exciting fixture is the England vs Netherlands Euro 2024 fixture. With so much on the line it is expected that all players go all out in this fixture to ensure their country secure the Euro 2024 final ticket.
Although both sides have not been up to a flying start as they are usually known for based on the quality of players they both possess, they have however managed to get the job done. This fixture is expected to be a different bout entirely with both sides taking each other on.
We however tip Netherlands to secure the win in this fixture because they have been the better and most resilient side in this tournament so far. They have faced tougher tests in terms of opposition and also possess a different crop of players England have been made to face since the start of the tournament.
