Euro 2016 Schedule: Quarterfinals Fixtures, TV Info, Times, Live Stream, Picks

Hosts and pre-tournament favourites France have survived to the quarter-final stage of Euro 2016, as have world champions Germany and well-fancied Belgium.

However, the last 16 saw some major casualties as defending champions Spain lost to Italy, in-form Croatia were knocked out by Portugal and England fell to minnows Iceland.

As a result, an intriguing final eight remain, with Wales' progression one of the big surprises of the tournament so far, per Bleacher Report UK:

Germany's Clash with Italy the Headline Match

To the surprise of many, Italy have looked arguably the most complete side at the Euros in France so far, returning two brilliant performances to beat Belgium in the group stage and Spain in the last 16.

Per Bleacher Report's Dean Jones, Antonio Conte's men look the most in-form outfit ahead of the quarters and their clash with Germany should be brilliant:

Italy have not been perfect all through the tournament having lost to the Republic of Ireland in the group stage after a turgid 1-0 win over Sweden.

However, Germany haven't looked consistently good either, struggling at times against all three group opponents—Ukraine, Poland and Northern Ireland.

Against Slovakia, though, Joachim Low's side finally put in a performance worthy of their world-champion status as they eased past them 3-0, the goals coming from Julian Draxler, Mario Gomez and Jerome Boateng.

History is against the Germans ahead of Saturday's clash, per Oddschecker:

But Die Mannschaft look to be building well into Euro 2016 and, at least on paper, they have much more quality upon which to call than the Azzurri.

Portugal and Poland are also both sides that look to be building into the tournament. Indeed, the Portuguese have definitely not hit top gear yet after failing to win any of their first four matches in 90 minutes.

They did, though, show excellent resilience and opportunism—not to mention pace on the break—to come up with a 117th-minute winner against Croatia, while Poland were fortunate to come through on penalties from the last 16 against Switzerland.

Per football writer Stefan Bienkowski, Polish goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski was the only truly exceptional performer against the Swiss, and a similarly tepid performance from the rest of the side against Portugal will likely end in defeat:

Complacency is likely the only thing that can prevent France and Belgium progressing to the last four.

Wales and Iceland have been a breath of fresh air so far at Euro 2016 and showed immense resilience to get this far, but they will both have to make a huge step up in terms of quality to get past their quarter-final opponents.

Wales were second best in much of their last-16 clash against Northern Ireland, but they eventually claimed the win after a delivery of great quality from Gareth Bale.

In Belgium they face up to a side with much greater all-round quality—who have just thrashed Hungary 4-0—and two players in Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard who have lit up the tournament, per Opta:

Meanwhile, Iceland were fantastic in beating England to make the last eight, but France are simply a much better side than the Three Lions and have the home advantage.

Iceland will sit deep again against Les Bleus, and though that tactic paid dividends against an England side with no cutting edge, players like Antoine Griezmann and Dimitri Payet should be able to break their resistance.
