Sports Mole provides score predictions for both of Monday's Euro 2020 last 16 fixtures - Croatia vs. Spain and France vs. Switzerland.

Croatia vs. Spain (Monday, 5.00pm)

Spain will be looking to build on their five-star performance in their last match at the European Championship when they take on Croatia in the last-16 stage of Euro 2020 on Monday night.

La Roja finished second in Group E to advance to the knockout round of the competition, while Croatia, who were eliminated at this stage of the 2016 tournament, claimed second position in Group D behind England.

We say: Croatia 1-2 Spain

Croatia are more than capable of making this a very difficult match for Spain, and we are expecting a close contest. Aside from the Scotland clash, though, Croatia, who will be missing one of their key players, have struggled to perform this summer, and Spain should have just enough to advance to the quarter-finals of the competition.

France vs. Switzerland (Monday, 8.00pm)

Switzerland will aim to produce a shock of seismic proportions during their Euro 2020 last-16 clash on Monday, as they gear up to meet reigning world champions France at the National Arena in Bucharest.

Les Bleus finished first in the group of death to seal progress into the knockout rounds, while Switzerland managed to qualify as one of the four best third-placed outfits.

We say: France 2-1 Switzerland

Switzerland ought to take advantage of France's depleted left-hand side if Hernandez joins Digne on the sidelines for this contest, but trying to keep Deschamps's side quiet at the other end of the pitch is where the real challenges lie.

While we think the Swiss - who have had the luxury of a few more days off - can trouble France's defence and find the back of the net, Les Bleus should still pull through over the course of 90 minutes, but it is likely to be a closer affair than some may anticipate.
