Richard Dunne: Can he salvage some pride for the Irish?Italy vs Rep. of Ireland (1945 GMT)

The Irish are already going home. But they play a big role in deciding how far Italy go in the competition. Should Croatia and Spain play out a draw, then Italy would need to win by 3 clear goals to guarantee a place, unless Croatia and Spain draw 2-2, which is the one result that would guarantee they both qualify.

Denmark vs Germany (1945 GMT)

After a crazy night in Group A, we are looking at Group B tonight, and pre-tournament favourites Germany are flying with two wins from two, but defeat against Denmark tonight, could still put them out of the Group stages.

Czech Republic vs Poland (1945 GMT)

It is all to play for in Group A. With no team qualified so far, although with first place Russia playing 4^th place Greece, this does seem like the battle of 2^nd place.

Denmark produced arguably the shock of the first round of matches, as they held on to a massive 1-0 win over the Netherlands, giving them a huge shock chance of reaching the knockout stages.

Greece vs Czech Republic (1700 GMT)

Petr Cech and his Czech teammates come into this game needing at least a point to stay in contention to qualify, but know a win will be a massive boost at the 4-1 drubbing handed to them by Russia in matchday 1.
