Kevin Hatchard steered the Daily Acca ship superbly in Paul Robinson's absence, and the latter aims to keep then run going on his return today. Here are his Nations League selections:

Portugal to take charge of their Group

Bet 1: Back Portugal @ 3/10 - KO 19:45 BST

Portugal and Czech Republic bring identical records into this League A Group 2 fixture, as they have both drawn with Spain and beaten Switzerland.

The Czechs had the advantage of playing both of their matches at home so far though, and this will be much tougher away in Lisbon.

The hosts also had a much more convincing win over the Swiss, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring two of his team's four goals.

Haaland to fire Norway to another victory

Bet 2: Back Norway @ 1/3 - KO 19:45 BST

The Norwegians have won both of their League B Group 4 fixtures to date, as they bid to ger promoted into League A.

Erling Haaland has scored all three of their goals so far, and perhaps most impressive for Ståle Solbakken's side is that both victories were away from home.

Despite missing out on World Cup Qualification, Norway are a dangerous team and are on a four match winning streak. They should prove far too strong for a Slovenia side that have just lost 0-2 at home to Sweden and 4-1 away at Serbia.

More of the same for Northern Ireland

Bet 3: Back Under 2.5 Goals in Kosovo v Northern Ireland @ 40/85 - KO 19:45 BST

You can just about set your watch by Under 2.5 Goals in Northern Ireland games, and I see no reason as to why their trip to Kosovo will be any different.

Ian Baraclough's team are yet to win a Nations League fixture since the competition began, and despite a solid enough World Cup Qualifying campaign, he is back under a bit of pressure.

They have now failed to score in any of their last three outings, and nine of their last 12 have seen this selection land.

Kosovo were able to win in Cyprus - something which Norn couldn't - but they too have a penchant for low-scoring affairs, with five of their last six going Under 2.5.
