"introduction": "After a month, UEFA Euro 2020 – a unique format involving 11 different host countries comes to an end at Wembley with Italy vs. England taking the center stage in the final scheduled for kick-off at 20:00 (GMT+1) on Sunday, the 11th of July.",
"localteam": "Italy assured their place in the final on Tuesday after defeating Spain in a penalty shootout at Wembley. Both sides had remained locked in a 1-1 draw after 120 minutes. A curling shot into the far-left corner from Federico Chiesa (60') flew past Unai Simon to hand Gli Azzurri the lead right on the hour mark. But an equally fantastic goal from second-half substitute, Alvaro Morata (80') had Donnarumma diving the wrong way as Spain levelled the scoreline. Moments later, Berardi saw his goal ruled off by the flag before the game went on to penalties. Unai Simon kept Locatelli's penalty out but Spain failed to take the advantage as Mikel Oyarzabal fired well above the cross-bar. Minutes later, Donnarumma kept Alvaro Morata's poor effort out before a Jorginho-styled penalty from the Chelsea midfielder sent Italy into the final. The Blues are on the verge of picking up their second European Championship after 53 years, - their first being in 1968 under the late coach, Ferruccio Valcareggi. Roberto Mancini will be looking to pen his name in the annals of history as the first coach to hand Italy the European title in this modern football era. - With a side unbeaten in six games across all competitions: WWWWWD. Federico Chiesa's performance against Belgium saw him keep his place in the starting line-up for the game against Spain. He is expected to keep Berardi on the bench once again while playing alongside Insigne and Lazio's Immobile in Mancini's attacking 4—3—3 formation. Manuel Locatelli, currently on Juve's radar with a €40 million bid on the horizon is expected to start from the bench once again on Sunday with Jorginho and Verratti being preferred choices in the midfield. On availability, Roma's Leonardo Spinazzola went under the knife days ago after picking up an Achilles tendon rupture and will not be available for this fixture. Last Sunday, Roma's new head coach, Jose Mourinho confirmed that the 28-year-old will be out for a few months.",
"visitorteam": "The Three Lions put up another convincing performance on home soil at Wembley on Wednesday, defeating Denmark 2-1 after extra time to seal a place in the final. The Danish Dynamite picked up the lead after a stunning free-kick from Mikkel Damsgaard (30') at the half-hour mark found its way over the wall and into the back of the net. But an own goal from the Danish captain, AC Milan's Simon Kjaer (39' O.G.) gave England a huge helping hand. However, a dubious penalty which was awarded while another ball was on the pitch saw Harry Kane (104') tuck in the rebound after an initial save by Danish goalkeeper, Kasper Schmeichel. It was his 4th goal of the tournament, one which propelled England into their first-ever European Championship final. On Sunday, Gareth Southgate's 4—2—3—1 formation will see the English captain leading the attack once again. Harry Kane is a goal shy of joining Cristiano Ronaldo and Patrik Schick as joint top-scorers of Euro 2020. Gareth Southgate has kept everyone happy despite the stiff competition for a starting spot in the star-studded squad. And barring any late injuries, we could see the same personnel from the game against Denmark start against Italy when England returns unbeaten in six games across all competitions: WDWWWW. This final comes after 50 games, 140 goals and a total attendance of 1,032,105 fans at the stadiums.",

"introduction": "Wolverhampton Wanderers vs. Manchester United kicks off at 16:00 (GMT+1) on Sunday, May 23 at the Molineux Stadium.",
"localteam": "Wolverhampton Wanderers lost to Everton on Wednesday the 19th of May at Goodison Park where they made their penultimate appearance of the season. With only one shot on target in the final 42 minutes, Wolves failed to find an equalizer to Richarlison’s goal (48’). The Brazilian had got on the end of Gylfi Sigurdsson’s cross minutes after the interval. Nuno’s men will be finishing outside the top-ten this season. After three defeats in five games: LDWLL (Premier League), Wolves remain in 12th place with 45 points from 12W, 9D & 16L. Over the last two seasons: 2018/19 & 2019/20, Wolves have finished inside the top-ten, 7th place on both occasions. However, they have failed to replicate last season’s form partly due to the loss of key personnel – most importantly, Raul Jimenez while the likes of Pedro Neto, Traore, and Daniel Podence have hit a rough patch of form. With 10 goals in total between the trio and a team goal ratio of only 0.95 goals per game, Wolves have struggled to pose any real threat to the opposition. Nuno Espirito Santo chose a 3—4—1—2 formation against Everton and will likely do so once again on Sunday. Rui Patricio was an unused substitute against the Toffees but could return to the starting lineup on Sunday.",
"visitorteam": "Manchester United were denied a win by relegated Fulham in their last home game of the season. The Red Devils were held to a 1-1 draw after Fulham’s Joe Bryan (76’) equalized with just over a quarter of an hour left to play. Bruno Fernandes' flick split Fulham’s defense and enabled Edinson Cavani (15’) to break away and chip the ball over goalkeeper Alphonse Areola from 40 yards. – A remarkable goal and contender for goal of the season from the man-of-the-match. The Uruguayan recently had his contract extended for a year (until June 22) after a stellar performance with the Red Devils. United are 2nd with 71 points after 20W, 11D & 6L. A goal ratio of 1.92 goals per game has seen them score 71 goals – the second highest in the league, behind Manchester City (78). With only one win in five games for the Red Devils: DWLLD (Premier League), they appear not to be in the best form ahead of the Europa League final against Villarreal on May 26. A 4—2—3—1 formation with Cavani in attack is expected to face Wolves on Sunday. Phil Jones and Anthony Martial are ruled out of this tie while Harry Maguire's availability remains in doubt.",

"introduction": "West Ham United vs. Southampton F.C. kicks off at 16:00 (GMT+1) on Sunday, May 23 at the London Stadium.",
"localteam": "West Ham defeated West Bromwich Albion, 3-1 in their penultimate fixture of the season on Wednesday, the 19th of May away from home. A goal from Tomas Soucek (45’) at the stroke of half-time coupled with goals from Angelo Obinze Ogbonna (82’) and Michail Antonio (88’) saw the Hammers outscore West Bromwich Albion whose only goal was scored by the Brazilian, Matheus Pareira (27’). The win leaves West Ham with a form that reads: LWLDW (Premier League) and in 6th place. Over the course of the season, West Ham have scored 59 goals (1.59 gpg) and conceded 47 - hence, they have a goal difference of +12 coupled with 62 points after 18W, 8D & 11L. David Moyes was hoping to play the UEFA Champions League with West Ham next season but it appears he would have to settle for the Europa League. On Sunday he would be looking for his 19th victory of the season with the Lions. His preferred 4—2—3—1 formation would be seen again on Sunday when he takes on Southampton. Michail Antonio who has 10 goals this season will likely be leading the attack once again. West Ham have no major injury worries ahead of this tie.",
"visitorteam": "Southampton remain in 14th place after 12W, 7D & 18L. On Tuesday, the 18th of May, they lost to Leeds United, 2-0 on home soil. The first half came to an end without any goal but Leeds’ top scorer, Patrick Bamford broke the deadlock in the 73rd minute for what would be his 16th goal of the season. The game would have finished at 1-0 but in the final moments, Tyler Roberts (90’+ET) found the back of the net for Leeds’ second goal – the final goal of the game. 2-0! It finished as the second defeat for Southampton in five games: DLWWL (Premier League). The Saints have scored 47 goals (1.27 gpg) over the course of the season and conceded 65. - Hence, have a G.D. of -18. Ralph Hasenhüttl’s Southampton could finish in 12th place if they win this tie and the other results go their way. However, they will be looking for at least a draw. A 4—4—2 formation with Danny Ings and Tella in attack is expected from Ralph Hasenhüttl when Southampton with 43 points make their final Premier League appearance of the season. William Smallbone, Oriol Romeu, and Ryan Bertrand are all ruled out of this tie. Martin Atkinson will officiate this tie while Craig Pawson will be the VAR. Peter Kirkup will be the assistant VAR for the game.",

"introduction": "Sheffield United vs. Burnley F.C. kicks off at 16:00 (GMT+1) on Sunday, May 23 at Bramall Lane.",
"localteam": "Relegated Sheffield United lost to Newcastle United on Wednesday the 19th of May when they visited Saint James’ Park. The game ended 1-0 but the score-line wasn’t a true reflection of the events in the game. Sheffield’s McGoldrick had a clear-cut chance to put the Blades ahead but pulled his shot wide – missing Newcastle’s goal by inches. Newcastle had their chance at the other end twenty minutes later, but goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale was called into action and produced a fantastic save to deny Jonjo Shelvey a goal. The Magpies eventually broke the deadlock after a fantastic header saw Joseph Willock (45’+ET) score his 6th successive goal in the Premier League. Aged 21, he became the youngest player to do so. 1-0! It finished as Sheffield United picked up their third defeat in five games: WLLWL (Premier League). The Blades would be joining Fulham and West Bromwich Albion in the Championship next season. They will remain in 20th place regardless of the result from this fixture. The Blades have scored only 19 goals (0.51 gpg) this season but conceded as many as 63. They have 20 points after 6W, 2D & 29L. Paul Heckingbottom will likely adopt a conventional 4—4—2 formation on Sunday in the final game of the season. The striking partnership between McGoldrick and Jebbison will likely be seen again. On availability, Jack O’Connell, Billy Sharp, Oliver Burke, and Oliver McBurnie are all ruled out while Ethan Ampadu remains doubtful.",
"visitorteam": "Burnley are 11 points above the bottom three in 17th place with 39 points after 10W, 9D & 18L. On Wednesday, they succumbed to another defeat, 3-0 in the hands of Liverpool. The Reds moved to 4th place on the league table after the win. Roberto Firmino (43’) had put Liverpool ahead two minutes before stoppage time in the first half before Nathaniel Phillips (52’) doubled the lead in the second. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (88’) dazzled Burnley’s defense and left three players in shock after he fired home for his first goal of the season. It was the 3rd Premier League defeat in five games: WLWLL for Burnley. The Clarets haven’t been impressive in front of goal – scoring only 33 goals (0.89 gpg) this season. Sean Dyche’s 4—4—2 formation will see the duo consisting of Vydra and Chris Wood working together up-front in search of goals for Burnley. Robbie Brady, Kevin Long and Ashley Barnes are all ruled out of this tie while Nick Pope remains doubtful. Kevin Friend will officiate this tie while Lee Mason will serve as VAR. Matthew Wilkes will be the assistant VAR.",

"introduction": "UEFA Euro 2020 – Semi-final fixture, England vs. Denmark kicks off at 20:00 (GMT+1) on Wednesday, the 7th of July at Wembley Stadium.",
"localteam": "The Three Lions breezed past Ukraine in Saturday's quarter-final fixture played at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Dominant, they pinned the Ukrainians on their own half for the most part of the game. Harry Kane (4') helped England to the lead inside the opening minutes after getting on the end of a defense splitting pass from Raheem Sterling for the only goal of the first-half. A minute into the second-half, England doubled the lead after Luke Shaw picked out Harry Maguire (46') from the crowd with an inch-perfect cross. Four minutes later, Harry Kane (50') completed the brace, – once again with Luke Shaw providing the assist. The English captain would have completed the hattrick but was denied by a remarkable save from the Ukrainian goalkeeper, Geroge Buschan. Moments later, Jordan Henderson (63') put the game to bed midway through the second-half with England's fourth, his first-ever goal for the Three Lions. Yet to concede a goal at Euro 2020, England returns unbeaten in six games across all international competitions: WWDWWW. The Three Lions are also unbeaten since the turn of the year. The last time they tasted defeat was on the 15th of November 2020 when they lost to Belgium, 0-2. On Wednesday, Gareth Southgate's 4—2—3—1 formation will see Harry Kane leading the attack once again while Dominic Calvert-Lewin is expected to make an off-the-bench appearance. Jack Grealish was an unused sub in the game against Ukraine. However, he is expected to make an appearance before the game comes to a close on Wednesday when England returns to face the Danish Dynamite.",
"visitorteam": "Denmark defeated Czech Republic, 2-1 at Baku Stadium when both sides met on Saturday the 3rd of July. Thomas Delaney (5') put the Danes ahead in the opening minutes with a fine header off a corner kick from Jens Stryger Larsen. After several clear-cut chances went by on both ends, the Danes eventually doubled their lead through Kasper Dolberg (42') who tapped in a cross from Joakim Maehle to leave the stunned Czech goalkeeper, Tomas Vaclik watching as the net rattled. But Czech's Patrik Schick (49') would halve the deficit and draw level with Cristiano Ronaldo as joint top-scorer after bagging his fifth goal of the tournament. The 2-1 win leaves Denmark with three straight victories in six games across all competitions: WLLWWW. Coach Kasper Hjulmand's 3—4—2—1 formation or its variant, 3—4—3 will see Yussuf Poulsen return to the starting line-up. Meanwhile, Dolberg is expected to start off the bench with the return of the RB Leipzig forward. Danish captain, AC Milan's Simon Kjaer has been instrumental in the latest string of positive results for the Danish Dynamite. He will return to put in another solid performance at the heart of the three-man Danish wall on Wednesday. Expected at his right is Chelsea's Andreas Christensen, and on his left, Southampton's Jannik Vestergaard. The winner of this fixture will face either Spain or Italy in the final at Wembley on Sunday, the 11th of July.",

"localteam": "Italy defeated Belgium on Friday, the 2nd of July at Allianz Arena, Munich, to set up this semi-final fixture against La Roja. Kevin De Bruyne had tested Donnarumma earlier with a vicious shot before Romelu Lukaku forced a save out of the 22-year-old Italian goalkeeper who remains without a club after his contract with AC Milan ran out on the 30th of June. Minutes later, a venomous shot from Nicolo Barella (31') handed the Italians the lead. The Azzurri struck again – extending their lead with a stunning 20-yard curling shot from Lorenzo Insigne (44'). A minute later, they saw their two-goal lead cut down to one after giving away a penalty. Romelu Lukaku (45' P) wasted no time in sending the outstanding Italian goalkeeper the wrong way, - halving the deficit at the stroke of half-time. However, both sides – most notably, Belgium, failed to convert any despite having several clear-cut chances. The 2-1 win saw Italy extend their unbeaten record run to 32 games across all competitions and leaves them with a sextuple of victories: WWWWWW. Known for the 4—3—3 formation, Roberto Mancini will likely return with the same shape on Tuesday. Berardi is expected to find his way back into the starting line-up after being dropped to the bench against the Red Devils. Meanwhile, Leonardo Spinazzola who tried to outrun his legs in the game against Belgium will miss this fixture and will be sidelined for months after rupturing an Achilles tendon. Manuel Locatelli, the subject of a €35M bid from Arsenal was an unused sub against Belgium. He is expected to start from the bench once again on Tuesday.",
"visitorteam": "Spain were held to a 1-1 draw against Switzerland at the end of 120 minutes before the game went on into a penalty shootout. An own goal from Denis Zakaria (8' O.G.) minutes after kick-off had given Spain an early lead. But Xherdan Shaqiri (68') levelled the score-line minutes after the break. Nine minutes after the Swiss goal, Spain picked up the numerical advantage after Remo Freuler (77' R.) saw a straight red for a reckless two-footed challenge. However, the Swiss held firm – keeping the door closed until the end of extra time despite being the side with a man down. But a string of poor penalties - albeit from both sides, eventually saw Spain besting the Swiss in the shootout. On Tuesday, an attacking 4—3—3 formation which has become prominent over the length of the tournament will likely be seen again from Luis Enrique. In attack, we can expect Alvaro Morata to be flanked on the right by Ferran Torres and on the left by Pablo Sarabia. However, the PSG winger, Sarabia remains doubtful due to an abductor problem. He is expected to undergo further tests before the game on Tuesday. The Red Fury remains unbeaten in six games across all competitions: DDDWWD*.",
