With us in the European Championships, it's always been more random than a World Cup actually, so you could look at any one of 10 teams and think they could win it.

The 37-year-old is also yet to manage a club himself.

That's how he became an extraordinary player. It is not just Gnabry's attacking prowess - he has scored nine goals for Bayern in 18 games this season - that has impressed Nouri. He is lightning quick, a clinical finisher, but he puts a lot of work now in his defence - that was something he was missing before," Nouri said.

The UK, France and Spain will look inside mostly because it makes things easier for the players, their families, even for the agents, to travel around.

Ruh Brest will host another team from Brest - Dinamo. Ruh did 2 draws and win at the last 3 games played. Their shape is not so bad. Dinamo Brest did 3 defeats at the last 3 games played. My bet is that both teams to score. It is derby match. And I predict open football with goals and dangerous moments. Dinamo has a big motivation to win here. They takes the 11 th place in the table.

I was hope that odds on goals in this match will be maybe even bigger, because this is second Russian league, where teams mostly playing with strong defense, but never mind, 2,00 is more than ok. So, reason for this bet is Spartak Moskva II, because that is team who is playing without any pressure and mostly very efficient, similar like Benfica II or Porto II in Portugal second league. Home team is lost against Shinik in last round at home 1-3, so I hope that this duel can be similar and efficient, also. I will try with this bet.
