The Euro 2024 action continues on Sunday with three more group matches including the first matches for England and the Netherlands.
Pre-tournament favourites England take to the field for the first time in arguably the pick of the day’s fixtures when they tackle Serbia, while their Group C opponents Slovenia and Denmark come face-to-face in Stuttgart.
Our final tip focuses on the Group D opener in Hamburg as a Poland team missing talisman Robert Lewandowski play an in-form Netherlands side.

Bet of the Day
Netherlands to win to nil v Poland @ 51/40
The Netherlands and Poland will both know the importance of a strong start having been drawn into a tricky group alongside France and Austria. The Dutch should be the team to take a first step towards the knockout stages with victory in their opener.
The Oranje have been impressive in both attack and defence in recent fixtures, winning six of their last seven games with a 2-1 defeat to Germany being the only blemish on their record. They kept clean sheets in each of these victories and could shut out Poland too.
Poland are currently unbeaten under manager Michal Probierz, who has five wins from his eight games in charge, however they will be without captain and star striker Robert Lewandowski for the opener due to injury and that will likely hamper their chances of taking anything from the game.
With Poland’s firepower heavily weakened, the Dutch could go through the 90 minutes relatively untroubled and edge to another clean-sheet victory.
Special of the day
England to win and Both Teams to Score v Serbia @ 11/5
England have been drawn in a favourable group alongside Serbia, Denmark and Slovenia and they are expected to start their campaign with victory over the Eagles on Sunday.
The Three Lions went unbeaten in their qualifying campaign, winning six of their eight matches, and arguably boast the strongest attack in the tournament in terms of depth with Harry Kane, Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham heading to Germany after brilliant seasons for their clubs.
However, their defence can be prone to errors and is now without Harry Maguire through injury, which could give Serbia a chance to get on the scoresheet. The talented Dusan Vlahovic and Aleksandar Mitrovic are both more than capable of finding the back of the net.
Longshot of the day
Slovenia to win v Denmark @ 13/4
Although they are the favourites to finish bottom of Group C, Slovenia’s performances in qualifying will give them belief that they can produce a shock and they could stun 1992 champions Denmark.
Slovenia qualified behind the Danes in Group H only on their head-to-head record, scoring more and conceding less than Sunday’s opponents in that section, and they have lost only one of their last 12 matches.
Denmark were poor in their last major tournament as they bowed out at the group stage of the 2022 World Cup and they are susceptible to underwhelming performances. If they are not at their best, they could be made to pay by the side ranked 57th in the world.
