Euro 2020 - Day 2 Tactical Preview

https://pythagorasinboots.com/euro-2020-matchday-2-tactical-preview-of-belgium-v-russia/

Denmark vs Finland and Belgium vs Russia seem to be the most intriguing games tactically on June 12th, while Wales vs Switzerland does have potential for a Welsh upset. Our favorite match to watch will be Denmark vs Finland as Denmark have largely gone under the radar as one of the more exciting international teams to watch that aren’t outright favorites for the tournament.

Walia - Szwajcaria

By having play focused on the right flank, forcing a shift from the Swiss, forwards Harry Wilson and Gareth Bale will target the isolated Manuel Akanji. Bale will start on the right hand side but will be expected to cut inside and overwhelm the Swiss central defenders.

The Swiss attacking structure can be seen below. With no traditional wingers expected to play, width will come from the wide areas. Mbabu versus Williams and Roberts versus Rodriguez will prove to be crucial individual battles as this is where Switzerland are strongest and where Wales are weakest. Seferovic and Gavranovic will remain central with the idea of overwhelming Joe Rodon who is likely the central centre-back that is starting this game.

Dania - Finlandia

Denmark are one of the dark horses for this tournament, and for good reasons. Schmeichel, Christensen, and Eriksen have all won prestigious trophies this season and are surrounded by quality players in their own respect. Below is how Denmark will attack Finland. Maehle will provide width on the left like he does so well for Atalanta, while Wass and Poulsen can be expected to overwhelm and outnumber the Finnish left wingback.

It’s hard to say where Finland will create chances from in this game. Their attacking structure, as seen below, does not do them many favours. Left wingback Raitala will not be expected to advance as much as his right sided teammate Uronen, meaning that Denmark will always know which side to defend the most, if needed. Teemu Pukki will lead the line but, despite his cult hero status amongst football fans, he will not be expected to grab as many goals as easily as he does for Norwich.

Belgia - Rosja

Belgium has always been weak in the fullback position, being forced to play wingers as wingbacks instead. Lukaku will lead the line for Belgium and will almost certainly win his individual battles. With the absence of de Bruyne, Lukaku may be expected to drop deeper into midfield during build up phases of play like he does for his club Inter, in order to help penetrate what is expected to be a very rigid and workman-like low block from Russia.

Russia will likely rely on counter-attacks and the pace of Golovin and Fernandes to attack the space left behind the Belgium wingbacks. If given time in possession, Russia will attempt to attack the space between Jason Denayer and Vertonghen with their towering forward Dzyuba and the more technical Golovin.
