Euro Group F Matches

Northern Ireland will have to contest with the likes of Portugal and Russia if they are to have any hope of finishing top of a difficult Group F. New manager Michael O'Neill will have to motivate his troops and boost their self-belief as they prepare for a very tricky qualification process. Portugal have been known to take their foot of the gas during qualification, which means if Russia and Israel get off to a flying start it could prove to be a very interesting group.

Group F Table

Portugal have been installed as the outright 4/7 favourites to win the group but Russia (2/1) are a strong unit and will be a difficult team to break down. Israel are priced at 8/1 to win the group but their main aim will be a play-off spot.
