The Best EURO 2024 Matches to Watch This Week (and Where to Stream Them)
The first round of the Euro 2024 group stage has ended. There weren’t many surprising results: the top teams in their group stages took all three points (with the exception of Belgium’s defeat to Slovenia). However, things are now getting more interesting with the second stage of the group stage set to begin on Wednesday 19 June. There’s still a lot going on this week, and perhaps the best matches are yet to be played. Here are the best matches taking place this week that you can stream right at home or from your phone .
Spain vs Italy
On Thursday, June 20, the leaders of Group B will go head-to-head at 3:00 pm ET. Spain, led by Luis de la Fuente, beat Croatia with an impressive 3-0 victory, becoming one of the strongest opponents to start the tournament. Italy, led by Luciano Spalletti, also beat their rivals Albania in a physical match 2-1. This match promises to be very technical and tactical and not to be missed. The winners are likely to finish top of their group, so both countries will be hoping with all their might. You can watch this match on Fox, Fubo TV, ViX and Vix Premium Desportes 1.
Netherlands vs France
This Friday, June 21, at 3:00 pm ET, another clash of the titans will take place between 2022 World Cup finalists France and current Group D leaders, the Netherlands. France beat Austria thanks to a freak own goal and also suffered an injury to their star player Mbappe with a broken nose (he will still have to play against the Dutch). The Netherlands managed to snatch all three points from Poland thanks to a winning goal from former Manchester United striker Weghorst, who came off the bench. Regardless of their current form, both of these giants are sure to put on a show. You can watch this match on Fox, Fubo TV, ViX and Vix Premium Desportes 1.
Switzerland vs Germany
Rounding out the weekend full of European action is Switzerland vs. Germany, with the final match of the week taking place on Sunday, June 23 at 3:00 pm ET. This will be the first match of the tournament, with a parallel match (Scotland v Hungary) taking place at the same time, but all eyes are sure to be on the current Group A leaders. If they weren’t there before, hosts Germany are now clear favorites for the tournament after a stunning opening a 5-1 win against Scotland that felt more like an exhibition match for the Germans. Switzerland also had a strong first game, defeating Hungary 3–1. It will be a surprise if the Swiss beat the Germans, but Nati’s A team will certainly make Germany work hard to get the three points.
