On June 19, the European Championship will enter matchday 6, and the six teams will face the second round of the group stage. Hosts Germany play Hungary in an effort to qualify early. Croatia and Albania face a do-or-die affair, with the other match between Scotland and Switzerland.

Croatia VS Albania (21:00)

Both teams suffered defeats in their opening group game, with Croatia losing 3-0 to Spain and Albania to Italy. Neither team can afford to lose the second game, and if they lose again, their hopes of progressing to the round of 16 will be very slim.

Croatia had 53 per cent possession and 15 shots on goal against Spain in their opening game, but were kept a clean sheet. Coach Dalic said the team needed to play more efficiently in Game 2.

Despite losing their opening game, Albania were impressive against the defending champions and showed a strong overall quality. Brazilian coach Silvinho said that the team has adapted after the first group game and believes that the team will gradually improve.

Recommendation: Croatia is older as a whole, Albania is full of overall impact, and Albania is optimistic that Albania can win this game.

Germany VS Hungary (0:00)

The hosts, Germany, made their first game a dazzling surprise, ending the embarrassment of losing their debuts in three consecutive tournaments with a big victory. If they can continue to beat Hungary this time, they will have a place in the last 16 ahead of schedule.

Hungary lost 3-1 to Switzerland in their opening group game, and a further defeat would make their hopes of progression to the round of 16 very slim.

In the last European Championship and the 2022 UEFA Nations League, Germany were placed in the same group as Hungary, and in the three meetings between them, Hungary are unbeaten against Germany with 1 win and 2 draws.

Recommended for this game: Germany and Hungary have met 36 times in history, and the Germans have a slight advantage with 13 wins, 12 draws and 11 losses, scoring 73 goals and conceding 65 goals. The strength of the two sides is better than the German team, and the record is slightly ahead, and this game is optimistic about the German team's continued victory.

Scotland VS Switzerland (03:00)

Facing a 5-1 defeat to Germany in the first game, Switzerland can secure a place in the round of 16 as long as they can win this game.

The Scots could not afford to lose their first game and could have their hopes of making it out of the group stage of the tournament for the first time if they lost to Switzerland.

The last time the two teams met was back 18 years ago, and the two teams had met 16 times before, with Scotland holding a slight advantage with 8 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats, scoring 26 goals and conceding 24.

Recommendation: The Scottish team's first fighter was frustrated, coupled with the suspension of defender Portiaus, it is difficult to wrestle with the united Swiss team this time, and the Swiss team is recommended to take all 3 points.
