Can you feel the nerves kicking in?
While it’s not quite squeaky bum time just yet, it’s getting towards it. Perhaps squeaky hip time.
Italy are coming off the back of a superb win over Belgium in Group E and they kick off the action against Sweden, who couldn’t manage a shot on target against Ireland. Even Aston Villa would be able to do that. Elsewhere, Group D sees holders Spain look to improve against Turkey and an intriguing battle between the Czech Republic and Croatia.
To help guide our customers the right way in terms of betting, we’ve got our four TV Tipsters to help us out again with a correct score bet on all three games on Friday:
Teddy Sheringham: A three time Premier League winner and England international. He’s an exclusive PP columnist.
Mick McCarthy: The captain of Ireland for two previous major tournament appearances. Also an exclusive PP columnist.
A football trader: Has no football experience, but is an absolute wizard when it comes to the odds.
Karl: A computer that takes in stats and spits out a bet. Smarter than all humans at Power Tower combined.

So for the first time since the tournament began all of our tipsters agree on the outcome of two of the matches. Even Karl. We expect the harmony to last for about as long as Donald Trump’s junk.
