Friday 18 June

M1 Sweden v Slovakia: This is the sides’ third competitive contest, and a first since a Marcus Allbäck double earned Sweden a 2-0 win in Stockholm in 2002 World Cup qualifying on 2 June 2001.

M2 Croatia vs Czech Republic: Croatia opened Euro 2020 with a 0-1 defeat in England while the Czechs won 2-0 away in Scotland. This game is at Hampden Park.

M6 IB Vestmannaeyjar vs UMF Fjolnir: IBV have won three and drawn the other of their last four games. Fjolnir are second in the second division standings in Iceland but already eight points behind runaway leaders Fram.
