Wales is trying to remain competitive without Bale
“The Dragons” have long been a curious team that cannot boast of a bright game. Still, they, at the same time, showed good results. The debut Euro, when they managed to immediately reach the semi-finals in 2016, stands apart.

Finland is eager to play at the second Euro in a row
“The Eagle Owls” made their debut in the “big” draws at the previous such tournament.

Thus, it’s quite natural that the Scandinavians’ fight will continue in the play-offs.
