TIPSTER PREDICTS FINAL RESULTS

Playing at home
The first games to consider are the quarter-finals. The star of the four matches is probably the meeting between Portugal and England at the Luz stadium in Lisbon. Both teams have improved on their initial performances, and have shown they possess the players and skill to win the tournament. Tipster believes that home support could play an important role but that if England qualify for the semi-finals they could win the tournament.

European champions to prevail
Tipster's feelings about the second quarter-final are that France will beat the Greeks. After a win against Portugal in the opening match of the tournament, Greek results have not been as strong. Coach Otto Rehhagel’s team got a draw against Spain and lost their third match against Russia by two goals to one. The French, on the other hand, are undefeated and played well against England. If the Greeks beat the French it will be one of the biggest upsets of the tournament.

Sweden on target
On Saturday, Sweden play against the Netherlands. Only England have scored as many goals as Sweden so far and Henrik Larsson's current form will keep Swedish fans hoping for more. Tipster is inclined to believe that Sweden could get round their Dutch opponents.

Czechs hoping to confirm
The last quarter-final sees Group D winners the Czech Republic take on Denmark. After finishing top of arguably the most difficult group, on nine points, coach Karel Brückner’s team will be looking to confirm against a strong Danish team. The fact that they were able to beat Germany and rest a number of key players encourages Tipster to believe that they will progress to the semi-finals.
