Let’s begin…
Portugal to beat Scotland @ 1.23
*Odds are subject to change
Scotland’s first match of their Nations League campaign saw them come up short against a gritty Poland side, with Steve Clarke’s side losing 3-2 on home soil.
And the League A adventure does not get any easier this Sunday thanks to a trip to face the mighty Portugal, who beat Croatia 2-1 in their opener.
Cristiano Ronaldo was once again on the scoresheet for Roberto Martinez’s side – and we expect him and his array of world-class team-mates to get the job done with relative ease against a wounded Scotland.
Ronaldo’s strike against Croatia took him to 900 career goals, a truly extraordinary achievement. He is at 3.90 to open the scoring in this match.
Spain to beat Switzerland @ 1.68
After winning Euro 2024 in rather epic fashion, Spain were brought back to reality somewhat with a 0-0 draw away at Serbia on Thursday evening.
However, influential figure and Ballon d’Or nominee Rodri missed the match as he was serving a one-match UEFA ban and is in line to return against Switzerland – which is why we are backing La Roja to claim an away victory here.
The Swiss lost 2-1 to Denmark in their opening match and will also be without key defender Nico Elvedi against Spain after he picked up a 57th-minute red card.
Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams against a weakened defence? It could spell trouble for the hosts.
Croatia vs Poland: Both teams to score @ 1.78
This promises to be a cracking Nations League match and one in which it is incredibly tough to pick an outright winner.
There is talent aplenty in both of the squads, with superstar striker Robert Lewandowski scoring yet again in Poland’s 3-2 win out in Scotland.
With each of these teams finding the back of the net and also conceding on Thursday, we really like the look of the BTTS odds here.
Over 3.5 goals to be scored in the match is intriguingly priced at 2.95, if you are looking to boost your odds in a combo bet this weekend.
Northern Ireland to beat Bulgaria @ 3.00
We end with our boldest shout of the four, as Northern Ireland go into their second match of the September international break as the slight underdogs.
However, they will be buoyed by a deserved 2-0 win over Luxembourg and could spring a real surprise in Bulgaria.
The Bulgarians kicked off their Nations League season in unconvincing fashion, drawing 0-0 in Belarus and seeing Filip Krastev shown a red card in the 73rd minute.
Yes, they dominated possession and had nine shots on target, but a solid-looking Northern Ireland outfit may have the tools to nullify their threat and pick up another crucial win.
