Tricky
On paper these look like relative formalities for the two favourites - Turkey are not the team they were 4 or so years ago whilst the Swiss are arguably the weakest side in the group, but have home nation status to point to, which is always a massive plus.
Neither Portugal nor the Czech Republic will want to slip up in these games - both will know that an opening game win will make it theirs to lose to not qualify for the knockout phase, and both teams are fancied to progress deep into the tourney, so will want to hit the ground running it what should be fairly straight forward qualification for them both. Its interesting that Bet365 make the Czech's only the narrowest of favourites to win the game, (13/8 v 7/4 Switz) - maybe this down to it being the opening game and Switz having home status, but I cannot see anything other than a Czech win here. 13/8 is value in itself IMO, but I have to agree with TheCaptains recommendation of a Draw/Czech win HT/FT forecast at 5/1 on B365 - we'll give the Swiss 45 mins to hold out the Czechs before class shows through. I expect Portugal to win fairly comfy, though cant get excited by them at 8/11. My vote - a la The Captain - Draw/Czech Rep HT/FT

I'm going for a pretty simple double on Czech win and Portugal Win @ 4.31 on Ladbrokes.
Would be worried about the HT scores as I'd expect a cagey start by all teams but over 90 mins (particularly from 75-90) surely class will prevail. My Opinion, I'd go for HT draw/FT Czech but not with much confidence, think I'd prefer the "safer" option @100/30 (maybe better elsewhere) as the extra 1.69 (5/1) is a far more risky bet imo.

my vote
i was going to go for portugal ht portugal ft but decided on abit of value and my vote is......
draw ht, czech rep ft @ 6.00 can see this game being a tight cagey affiar, its the 1st game of the tournament, neither team will want to lose. swiss have a good defence, they dont concede many goals, i think they can hold out till ht, but over 90 mins i think the czechs will sneak the win 1-0 maybe 2-0

Austria v Croatia
Solid Croatia win here for me, to win both halves @ 3/1 decent price. Germany v Poland I'll be leaving this match alone, I think Poland are a decent side and may cause Germany some problems, nothing of any value to bet on that i've seen.

draw ht, czech rep ft @ 6.00
Right on to Sunday
Germany V Poland Ok - I think Germany will win, but at 1.53 this is very skinny odds - Germany appear to have scored goals for fun in the Qualifiers, (13 against San Marino but then that was San Marino!) But they don't conceed many - That however, is qualifying. In tourneys they seem to gear up to throttle the weakest side and then squeeze the life out of the other two games. I think therefore they will be out to clobber Austria. Against Poland they will not want to loose and I can't see Poland Scoring (they failed to score against the US in a friendly in March) My Best bet is therefore 'Poland can't reply' @ 2.37 but a back up of the UNDER 2.5 @ 1.95 Austria V Croatia Austria don't win many - and don't score many either - They also have a relatively sound defense by the looks of it. Croatia will be too strong for Austria and again I am tempted by the unders market but at 1.75 again there is no value here. Croatia at 1.9 seems to be a fair bet and therefore thats my recommendation for this game. My best bet here is Croatia win at 1.9 but a back up of Croatia/Croatia HT/FT at 3.0 may have more value. Just my thoughts. Lee
