Poland vs Czech Republic
Poland's equaliser against Russia ensured that qualification is still in their hands as they head into the Czech Republic match. The Poles showed character after going behind, and once they leveled were arguably the better side against Group A's strongest team. Knowing they need a victory, means their Borussia Dortmund duo of Robert Lewandoski and Jakub Blaszczykowski will need to continue their impressive form so far at the tournament, if they are to progress.
Despite Petr Cech's error, the Czech Republic recorded a much needed victory against Greece, impressively putting their heavy opening day defeat to Russia behind them. Two early goals Michal Bilek's side, meaning a point vs Poland (providing the Greek's don't beat Russia by two goals) will see the Czech Republic progress, in doing so eliminating the co-hosts.

Greece vs Russia
After recovering a point from dire straights against Poland in their opener, the Greek's really missed a chance to keep qualification in their hands against a far from brilliant Czech Republic side. Two goals down after six minutes wasn't the ideal start; however another goal from a Greek substitute proved they have options to change the game from the bench.
Russia could've ensured qualification was sealed with a game to go against Poland; however Jakub Blaszczykowski's goal meant they still need a draw against Greece; however a defeat unless by a few goals will see them progress. Alan Dzagoev once again scored to take his tally to three in just two games; but captain Andriy Arshavin was kept quieter then he did in Russia's opener.

These two met in the European Championships in 2004 and the Russians beat the eventual champions, back them to do so here!
