#2 Two goals will be a premium
Only five teams scored twice in this opening round - France, Wales, Germany, Italy, Hungary - and they all won. As mentioned above with the places up for grabs, the battles have been tactical, and scoring two goals has proven enough to put the game beyond reach. Expect this trend to continue.
There have been 22 goals scored so far, roughly 1.8 goals a game. That's a goal every 49 minutes, round about perfect, one each half. What's more revealing is that 16 of the 22 goals have come in the second half, including seven in the last 15 minutes, showing that almost every game has been in the balance right till the very end, with it being difficult to predict which way the game would swing.
That's helped keep all the games interesting .
