Wednesday evening treats Fantasy managers to four more Euro 2016 fixtures before the curtain comes down on the group stages.

First up at 5pm, all four teams in Group F have a chance of progressing to the final 16.

With a single goal from 49 attempts, profligate Portugal have done little to justify their place as pre-tournament favourites to top the group but know that a win against Hungary will be enough to earn them at least a runners-up spot.

Iceland and Austria do battle in the other fixture. Like Portugal, the latter arrived as one of the dark horses for the tournament but have been a major disappointment and failed to score in their opening two fixtures, managing just four efforts on target. Iceland, meanwhile, have registered just 12 attempts on goal thus far – a tally superior only to Sweden’s 11.

Given that the second-placed team in Group F will face England in the next round, the Three Lions will be keeping a keen eye on the results here.

Indeed, considering that the Group F winners square up the runners-up in Group E – which look likely to be Belgium – topping the table could prove a less appealing route into the knockout stages.

    Portugal are second by virtue of having fewer bookings than Iceland.

    1. TJ_777
      • 11 Years

      Are you sure?

      1. Konig Luther

        in 2nd, but not because of that (atm)

      • 11 Years

      Portugal are 2nd due to goals scored.

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        That's an argument for the "inevitability" of England-Portugal.

        Have to go and make those counts for the 3rd placed.

      Autosubs only come into effect if you make no subs and no captaincy changes over the week . One captaincy change or sub and auto subs do not come into effect

    Is it just me that finds the expression "on a hatrick" a bit odd when a player has two goals. On course for a hatrick maybe..

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah. On a hattrick to me sounds like he actually has one.

    Just a reminder... Portugal will finish second in Group F and will face England in the last 16... because of that old chestnut, the fair play record.

    Portugal currently have 2 points to Iceland's 7, and the lowest points wins. It's 1 point for a yellow, 3 for a red.

    Unreal!!!!

    1. Konig Luther
