EURO 2025 in Switzerland had its first quarter-finalist confirmed on Sunday. Will we see any more teams seal their progression with Monday's fixtures?
Before we get into today's action, what happened yesterday? ⏪
Norway became the first team to qualify for the quarter-finals with their 2-1 win over Finland. In both games so far, Norway have come out on top despite struggling to play on their terms. They'll need to improve to keep progressing.
Two second half goals winner saw hosts Switzerland bounce back from a defeat last Friday and confirm Iceland's early exit.
Switzerland and Finland are now both on three points and will face each other on the final Group A matchday on Thursday.
Who is playing today? 👀
Attention turns to Group B again, where wins for Spain and Italy would see both sides seal a place in the knockout rounds before they play each other on the final matchday.
Spain will be hoping for a repeat of their stunning 5-0 win over Portugal when they face Belgium before Portugal look to get back on track and salvage their hopes of qualification against Italy.

No Aitana Bonmatí, no problem. Vicky López became the youngest player to score for Spain at a major tournament last week, netting just seven minutes into their win over Portugal.
The midfielder has been prolific in Liga F for Barcelona over the past two seasons and looks like a star in the making. It never gets boring than watching a player like that explode on the international stage at a major tournament.

We know all about Spain and their quality, so it will be interesting to see if Italy can repeat their impressive performance against Belgium and begin to emerge as legitimate dark horses.
Of course, we'll have an ever better reading of them after their match against Spain. But making it two wins out of two would set them up for a quarter-final against one of the qualifiers from Group A, where each of the four teams are yet to put in truly convincing performances, and a realistic shot at reaching the semi-finals.
