The second round of games take place in Group F on Saturday as Portugal take on Turkey after securing a win over the Czech Republic in their opener.

The Czechs face Georgia in a crucial second game that could decide the fate of both teams when it comes to progression to the knockout stages after they both fell to defeat in their opener.

Georgia vs Czech Republic (Saturday, 2pm)

Bet 1: Both teams to score

Georgia games tend to be exciting affairs, seven of their last 10 have gone over 3.5 goals and their first game, a 3-1 defeat to Turkey, was an end-to-end contest throughout.

They face a Czech Republic side that has seen both teams find the net in four of their last five encounters, something that looks likely to happen again. 

Bet 2: Patrik Schick to score

Patrik Schick failed to score in his opening game against Portugal but he could be value to get off the mark against a Georgia defence that conceded three times in their opening game.

The Bayer Leverkusen striker was the top scorer in Euro 2020 and is the Czech Republic’s leading marksman in the current squad with 19 goals in 39 national team appearances.

Bet 3: Georges Mikautadze to have a shot on target

Georges Mikautadze was a livewire for Georgia in their opener, taking four shots and finding the net. He is fancied to have a shot on target in this clash.

Turkey vs Portugal (Saturday, 5pm)

Bet 1: Portugal to win

Portugal looked laboured at times against the Czech Republic but they did win their 10 qualifiers and have enough attacking talent to secure all three points in this one.

Bet 2: Bruno Fernandes to score or register an assist

Bruno Fernandes was let down by his teammates’ finishing in their first game, where he created plenty of chances for them.

The Manchester United midfielder has 19 goals or assists in his last 14 games for the Iberians.

Bet 3: Zeki Celik to be shown a card

Zeki Celik will be pushing to start this game for Turkey but may face a tough time against Rafael Leao.

Celik was booked three times in four qualifying starts and is fancied to be shown a card here.
