A bitter blow in Brazil, as Vasco da Gama conceded a 95th-minute leveller to underline just why it's sometimes good to use the Draw No Bet market. A second push of the week, and we move on.

We switch our focus to international matters now, and the UEFA Nations League clash between Belgium and Iceland.

Having finished an impressive third at the World Cup, Belgium have continued their fine form. They smashed Scotland 4-0 in their first post-World Cup friendly, and in the Nations League they have won 3-0 in Iceland and beaten Switzerland 2-1.

Iceland have already been relegated from the top tier, after losing all three of their Nations League games. New coach Erik Hamren has found it tough to maintain Iceland's incredible sequence of overachievement, although a 2-2 friendly draw against France in Guingamp provided a glimpse of what his side is still capable of.

Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku has been struggling with a hamstring injury, so Michy Batshuayi will deputise. Coach Robert Martinez is expected to field his strongest available line-up, with a place in the Nations League Finals up for grabs.

Iceland can call upon one of the German Bundesliga's most in-form strikers. Alfred Finnbogason has been sensational for Augsburg since returning from a knee injury, and has scored seven goals in just six league games.

Belgium have been flawless so far in this competition, while Iceland have already lost 6-0 and 3-0 in the Nations League. I'll back the hosts to rack up another handsome victory.
