Modric.

Croatia vs Albania

        1.35     4.00     6.75

-1    2.20     3.30     2.62

Croatia lost three goals in the first half by Spain's short-term attack, and finally lost 0-3.

Due to the early deficit, Coach Dalic replaced Modric and other veterans in the second half and shifted his focus to the game against Albania, which is a weak group for Croatia to win this game.

From a tactical point of view, Budimir's starting centre-forward was not effective, while Gvardiol's left-back had neither an assist nor weakened the centre-back, and Dalic needed to make changes in the centre-forward and wing-back positions.

Albania were quickly reversed by Bastoni and Barella after scoring a lightning goal in the opening game, and the team's ability to create chances was in question, with the attacking ability limiting the team's ceiling.

Atalanta centre-back Jimsetti believes that the team should not take a fast pace against Italy, against Croatia, and it should be a more pragmatic choice for Albania to play a counterattack, after all, the back line is relatively safe, and they gave the Azzurri too much space in the last game against Italy.

In the first game, Albania lost to the defending champion by a small score, while Croatia was defeated, in this case, the data of this game is still completely good for the Plaid Army, I think Albania wants to get points is not very likely, this game is optimistic about Croatia to win, the reference score is 1-0, 2-0.

German team.

Germany vs Hungary

         1.18     5.35     9.50

-1     1.68     3.80     3.56

Germany's 5-1 win over Scotland in the opening game rewrote the embarrassment of losing in the opening games of the last three tournaments, and the team showed the strength of the tournament from 2002 to 2016, but it should be noted that in those tournaments, the German team had the curse of overturning in the second game of the group stage.

Nagelsmann changed the philosophy of hypnotic possession in German football in recent years, and under the organization of Tonik Ross and the impact of Musiala and Wirtz, the German team played a concise and fast effect in the first game, which made people see the familiar German tank.

Nagelsmann revealed before the game that the German team is currently full of health, including Gundogan, who suffered a violent tackle in the first round, so the team will continue to start the first game and win without substitutions.

Hungary was too slow to get into the first game, completely suppressed by Switzerland in the first half and conceded two goals, and coach Marcolossi said that this was the team's worst half-time performance after the European Championship, and the team made more mistakes in passing and receiving the ball in the backfield, which is not what Hungary should be capable of. Putting as much pressure on Germany's midfield as possible is what Hungary need to do.

Many players in the Hungarian team play in the Bundesliga, and they should be no strangers to the German players, but Rossi said that the return of Tonik Roth has completely improved the German team, so from the group stage of the last European Championship to the UEFA Nations League, the unbeaten results of three games, 1 win and 2 draws are not of great reference value, of course, Hungary is also very familiar with this opponent.

There is no way back for Hungary, the first game has already lost 1-3, even if it loses in this game, it is better not to lose big. The first round of the German team has not been tested too much, this game is the real first game of the tournament, optimistic that Hungary will not lose when less to win, the reference score is 2-1, 2-2.

Team Switzerland.

Scotland vs Switzerland

        4.50    3.42    1.60

-1     1.98     3.26     3.05

Scotland did not enter the rhythm at all in the first game, and finally lost to the host Germany with a score of 1-5, the team urgently needs to find the form of qualifying, facing Switzerland, coach Clarke should still continue to maintain a stable system, if he can get 1 point, Scotland at least maintain the competitiveness of qualifying, otherwise the team will face a lack of goal difference even in third place.

There will also be changes to the line-up, with Portius suspended for a red card, Billy Gilmour, who has the ability to intercept, also likely to take Christie's place, and Shankland up front with a good chance of replacing Adams.

Switzerland should still be unchanged, Denkarea and Zubair are still affected by suspensions, Dua, who opened the scoring in the first game, is expected to continue to play a single arrow, Embolo, who sealed the victory, is still a super sub, Xhaka and Freuler form a double midfield, and the Swiss midfielder is still superior to Scotland in terms of combing ability.

Judging from the situation of qualifying from the group, a draw for the Swiss team can basically ensure at least the third place in the group, this team does not have the ability to attack like a storm, it is a master of draws during the European preliminaries, and it will not be too aggressive in the main stage of the European Cup.

I think the process of this game will be more anxious, one point is acceptable to everyone, of course, Switzerland is stronger in terms of strength, I decided to take the plan of draw and draw, reference score 0-0, 0-1.
