Man of the Moment

Patrik Schick has certainly delivered the goods for the Czech Republic in recent matches. Both he and his fellow countrymen hope he can add to the 5 goals he has managed in the previous 6 internationals.

It is tempting to look for Yussuf Poulsen to shine once again for Denmark, as he has been their most prolific marksman with 3 goals in their previous 6 internationals.
