England vs. Germany (Tuesday, 5.00pm)

A quarter of a century on from their infamous encounter at Euro 96, old foes England and Germany renew hostilities at Wembley Stadium in the last-16 stage of Euro 2020 on Tuesday evening.
The Three Lions progressed in first place from Group D to set up a tie with Germany, who managed to claim second spot in the tournament's group of death.
We say: England 1-2 Germany (a.e.t)
There would be no better time for Kane and co to rediscover their golden touch against a Germany defence which is certainly not impenetrable, and it is exactly these sorts of tests that England must prevail in to prove their credentials as serious contenders for the crown.
Progressing from the group without a single goal shipped is undoubtedly a positive sign, but Germany's attackers are that little bit more potent than the Czechs or Croats. We would dearly love to back an England win, but in a tale as old as time, the Germans' winning mentality should shine through as another shot at glory goes begging for the Three Lions.

Sweden vs. Ukraine (Tuesday, 8.00pm)

After Sweden scored a late winner to top Group E last week - unwittingly helping Ukraine into the last 16 - the pair now clash in Glasgow on Tuesday evening.
With their Euro 2020 campaigns having progressed very differently so far, the final tie of the first knockout round will pit together an in-form Swedish side with decidedly fortunate opponents - who qualified with just three points and a negative goal difference.
We say: Sweden 2-1 Ukraine
Though Ukraine have sufficient attacking talent to break down a resolute Sweden rearguard at some point during the 90 - or perhaps 120 - minutes, the Swedes have barely lost in recent months for good reason.
Boasting their own handful of final-third threats, the Blagult can snatch the win and progress to the next stage, as a little collective cohesion goes a long way in tournament football.
