The second round of the European League quarterfinals began, and many strong dialogues continued to be staged. The first round behind France, Portugal and Germany three strong can overturn the wind, and the quarter-final will stage extra time or even penalty shootout, who can fight out the siege and advance to the semifinals first.

Mbappe's poor performance France's second round or small win outThe UEFA Nations League quarter-finals featured a 2018 World Cup final clash between France and Croatia. In the first half of the first leg, Menion saved Kramaric's penalty, and then in the 26th minute, Perisic assisted Butimir to head the goal, and Perisic staged a volley in stoppage time, and finally Croatia 2-0 France, which broke out a surprise. Mbappe, who is worth 160 million yuan, had a disappointing performance, losing the ball 21 times and missing many good chances.
First leg Croatia 2-0 France
According to the data opened by the agency, the odds of France's promotion are 1 to 2.5, and the odds of Croatia's promotion are 1 to 1.5, so it is not easy for the Gallic rooster to return to the home field. In the score odds of the second round, the odds of the 0-0 draw between the two sides and France's 1-0 small win are the lowest, I am afraid that France will not qualify for the last four.
Portugal will struggle until extra time to reverse the home sword
In the group stage of the European League of Nations, Portugal won 4 and drew 2 undefeated to lock the first place to advance, but the first round of the knockout tournament, Portugal met the test. Although Portugal goalkeeper Costa saved an Eriksen penalty in the first half, the 8-23 shooting ratio also reflected the difference between the two teams in attack. In the end, with the substitute Hoylen scored, Denmark occupied the first opportunity to advance 1-0 at home, sending the latter the first defeat of the European Nations League this season.
The total value of Portugal's starting 11 is 517 million euros, while Denmark's is 171 million euros. The two sides met in the first leg, Portugal possessed the ball as high as 56%, but only 2 of 8 shots were on target, and did not create a great opening chance. After the game, Portugal's passing and control tactics were questioned, and they were hardly a threat in the face of Denmark's high pressure. However, the statistics still favor Portugal, with 1-0 and 2-0 wins being the lowest odds. In addition, Portugal's promotion odds are 1 1.8, Denmark's promotion odds are 1 1.9, from the 50-50 data, the game may be dragged to extra time.
Germany has a clear chance of a double win over Italy
The first leg of the contest, Italy made a dream start, the first half of the eighth minute Tonali push blitz success, the 48th minute, Kimisi assisted Leindenst header equaliser. In the 75th minute, Kimish assisted Gretzka to head a reverse goal, and finally Germany won a 2-1 reverse victory over Italy. Kimisi contributed 2 assists, quickly found the form after returning from injury, and he obviously improved the control of the German midfield.
Italy was reversed by Germany, and the set piece defense was once again criticized. Under Spalletti, Italy's low defence was exposed to more problems, with opponents able to easily get the ball in midfield and still have time and space to dispose of it. Italy has only won 1 victory in the face of German tanks in the last 6 official games, psychologically does not occupy the advantage, and the Blue Jackets want to overturn the away wind, it is not easy. The latest odds put Germany at 1.11 to 1 and Italy at 6.5 to 1. In terms of score, Germany has the lowest odds of winning 1-0 and is expected to beat Italy in two rounds to advance.

In the second half, Reinders helped the Netherlands win 2-1. In the 81st minute, Dutch defender Hartoin was sent off for a flying tackle on Le Norment. In stoppage time, substitute Merino staged an equaliser to help Spain retreat, and the Matador Army extended its unbeaten run to 17 games.
According to the odds offered by the relevant agencies, the odds of a 1-1 draw between the two sides are the lowest, followed by Spain winning 1-0, 2-0 and 2-1.

From the perspective of the promotion odds, Spain's promotion odds are 1.33 to 1, and the Netherlands' promotion odds are 3.25 to 1, and Spain is expected to remain undefeated with its home advantage.
