I have to agree with your picks. What I predict:

 

Group A: 1.  2.  3.  4.  5.  6.  

Group B: 1.  2.  3.  4.  5.  6.  

Group C: 1.  2.  3.  4.  5.  6.  

Group D: 1.  2.  3.  4.  5.  6.  

 

Semis:  vs.  and  vs.  

Final:  vs.  

Winner:  

 

Notes:

 

• I actually think  deserves a medal here, but because of the draw, they will most likely meet  in the quarter finals, and I think  will win that matchup, although I believe they are currently stronger than both  and .
•  will most likely meet  in the quarter finals, that's why I don't predict them to make the semis either, although I believe they are stronger than  at the moment.

• The top 3 in Group A is very clear to me ( ), with   and  battling it out for the last spot in the Round of 16. That's really a toss-up for me, as I think they could all take that final spot.
   
• Group B:  and  are of course the biggest favorites. is a clear number 3 for me after their good performance this year in the Nations League. I don't think  stands any change, so  and  will battle it out for that fourth place.
   
• Group C is obviously the weakest here, with  not performing as well as they back in 2016 and 2017, although they should still finish 2nd. I don't see any serious threat for  in that group, they seem to be the clear group winners to me, whereas  is the clear number 6 here in my opinion. That means   and  will battle for third and fourth place.
   
•  and  are the clear favorites in Group D, but perhaps  could surprise them here. They have shown good results against weaker teams, but I think they're ready to make the next step. Surprised to see that  even qualified for this tournament. They should be happy with any win. I put  over for 4th place in this group because of home advantage and the slightly better results in the past year.
