BBC Sport football expert Mark Lawrenson is taking on BBC Radio 5 Live's pundits, presenters and commentators to predict the outcome of every game at the 2020 European Championship.

Vicki Sparks claimed top spot on Saturday after correctly predicting that Wales and Switzerland would end up as a 1-1 draw and then got the winners of all three of Sunday's games right to retain her place at the top of the leaderboard.

For England's opening game against Croatia on Sunday, 11 of our pundits were spot on for a Three Lions victory - but no-one guessed the correct 1-0 scoreline.

For Scotland's game against the Czech Republic on Monday, only three of our pundits predicted that Scotland would lose - though no-one predicted the 2-0 scoreline correctly.

Lawro's predictions

A correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth 10 points. The exact score earns 40 points.
