Euro 2020 enters its second round of group stage fixtures on Wednesday, with Finland meeting Russia in St Petersburg (2pm GMT), Turkey taking on Gareth Bale's Wales in what is likely to be a hostile and partisan atmosphere in Baku (5pm) and, finally, Roberto Mancini’s impressive Italy side facing Switzerland at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome at 8pm.
