Russia v Portugal, Wednesday (16.00) -

Portugal are sure to score in this one.

Cristiano Ronaldo will lead the line for the European champions, but the depth of their squad was proven by the fact that they did not need him to score in drawing 2-2 with Mexico on Sunday.

Fernando Santos’ side have now scored at least twice in their last eight matches, managing two six-goal hauls in that time.

Russia, though, are in decent form themselves.

They have netted in eight of their last nine matches, including in all of their last four.

Back goals here, then.

Germany v Chile, Thursday (19.00) -

Considering that Germany are fielding a weakened side, these two teams are well matched and should both score.

The world champions put three past Australia in their first group game, and with Julian Draxler and Leon Goretzka featuring, their threat is still significant.

Full-strength Chile should score themselves, though.

Alexis Sanchez will start in this one having appeared off the bench to significant effect against Cameroon, while their record of 11 goals in five matches bodes well.

Czech Republic U21 v Italy U21, Wednesday (17.00) -

Both teams have scored in five of Czech Republic U21’s last six games, and that record should continue in this one.

Vitezslav Lavicka’s side scored 13 goals in their four matches heading into this tournament – so should not be deterred by a blank against Germany – but conceded to the likes of Moldova.

Italy, meanwhile, are one of the favourites to win the competition and are bound to score themselves.

Luigi Di Biagio’s side have scored in six of their last eight matches, and boast the impressive Federico Bernadeschi and Domenico Berardi in attack.

England U21 v Poland U21, Thursday (19.45) -

England were in decent goalscoring form coming into this tournament, scoring three against Italy, two against France and four against Denmark in the last few months.

But having been held to a 0-0 draw with Sweden in the first group match, their comeback victory against Slovakia on Monday gives them a further platform from which to build.

The form of Nathan Redmond is crucial to Aidy Boothroyd’s side’s chances, so his goal in that game was timely, as was the encouraging performance of Tammy Abraham.

It helps, too, that Poland have conceded twice in each of their last four matches, including the first two of this competition.

The tournament hosts have scored in all of their last 10 matches, though, so there should be goals at both ends in this one.
