England v Czechia Tip - Back more first-half goals at 11/82.38

The 17/118.00 on Czechia may even seem a bit short to some given England's thumping win in Croatia while the Czechs have lost every game so far. The Three Lions are 2/171.12 with the only question mark being whether Thomas Tuchel will make many changes at Wembley.

Czechia haven't been totally battered like Croatia have been a couple of times, but the Czechs have conceded at least twice in every game and after failing to score against Tuchel's side at home it's hard to see them finding the net at Wembley. The England win to nil is 8/111.73.

But for a better value of 11/82.38 take a look at England to score twice or more in the first half. They've scored six in the opening 45 minutes so far this campaign, and if Tuchel doesn't shuffle his pack up front too much then the likes of Kane, Gordon and Bellingham could help blow Czechia away early.

Croatia v Spain Tip - Get 17/102.70 on Spain to win again

The absolute last thing Croatia need after a record 7-0 pasting by England is the visit of world champions Spain - who arrive as unsurprising 2/91.22 favourites in Spilt, with the hosts priced as unlikely winners at 19/210.50. Spain won the reverse fixture 4-1 last week.

Luis de la Fuente's side made it 41 games unbeaten (in 90 minutes) by beating Czechia at the weekend and part of that run comes from not conceding the opening goal in their last 32 games in a row. Lamine Yamal has incredibly opened the scoring in all three games so far inside the first six minutes (scoring after 2, 2 and 6 minutes).

Yamal got the second half off last game so he'll be back firing and is 1/12.00 to score anytime, and a no doubt popular bet for first goalscorer at 4/15.00.

Spain's failure to keep a clean sheet yet hasn't put them in too much trouble bar the England game but it should mean Croatia get chances. The hosts surely won't be as bad as they were last time out, so we'll back them for a goal as I think they'll make this much more of a contest.


Scotland v Slovenia Tip - Back 7/24.50 Slovenian stats double

19:45 kick-off
Live on BBC Two

A first win for Sebastien Pocognoli last time out but another red card in the 2-0 victory in North Macedonia that Scotland dominated. They also dominated the reverse fixture with Slovenia, creating 2.16xG from 17 shots and six on target, but drew 0-0.

The Scots are 3/41.75 for victory at Hampden but they'll have to finish their chances off to avoid something of an upset from 15/44.75 shots Slovenia. The visitors made Switzerland work hard for victory last time out though and can prove stubborn opposition away from home, so the draw at 5/23.50 can't be ruled out totally.

Ultimately Scotland are the better side but just two goals (against North Macedonia) from 15 shots on target in the group so far is cause for concern, especially with outstanding Slovenia keeper Jan Oblak only conceding twice and saving 12 of 14 shots on target (5 vs Scotland, 6 vs Switzerland).

So I'll go for a Bet Builder in this one with a bet that landed in the reverse fixture and Slovenia's game in Switzerland backing 4+ saves from Oblak and over 2.5 Slovenian cards. They have three against Scotland and five away at the Swiss.


Switzerland v N. Macedonia Tip - Back 7/52.40 fast start as Swiss roll on

19:45 kick-off

Switzerland could seal promotion here with a win and a Scotland v Slovenia draw. The win part shouldn't be a problem as not only are 25/126.00 shots North Macedonia the group's whipping boys but the 1/101.10 Swiss should really be in the group above.

They dispose of the poor teams, going 19 games without defeat to anyone outside the top 20, while at home they're outstanding as only Spain (twice) have won a competitive fixture on Swiss soil in the last 36 matches.

So this should just be a case of how many for the hosts, and it could be a few as no team managed more than their 26 shots on target from the first three Nations League games, while the Macedonians have failed to score yet and have generated precious little going forward. What they have done well is pick up cards with 11 so far including four in the reverse fixture.

At a decent price of 7/52.40 the bet here is for over 1.5 Swiss goals in the first half. It's landed twice, included the reverse fixture, while they scored one against Scotland and also had a penalty shout overturned by VAR so has plenty of weight behind it.


Estonia v Iceland Tip - Back hosts to hold improving Iceland

19:45 kick-off

Estonia have massively overachieved so far in going unbeaten thanks to away draws in Iceland and Bulgaria and beating Luxembourg 1-0 last time out. They're still big 4/15.00 home underdogs, ranked over 50 places lower than an Iceland side who arrive on a high after back-to-back 3-0 wins.

The visitors are 11/201.55 with the sense they're getting themselves into gear now after a sticky patch of seven games without a win, and at their best they're a level above League C quality. Estonia also don't score many goals so they'll have to keep this tight but they have become a hard side to beat of late.

The last four head-to-heads have all been draws, another stalemate here is 29/103.90 and it stands a chance if Estonia hold out, as this has the sense of a game where an early Iceland goal could see them run away with it. But I'll give the hosts the benefit of the doubt that they can grind out another point.


Luxembourg v Bulgaria Tip - Both teams to score the bet

19:45 kick-off

The only goals these two have scored in the group so far came in Luxembourg's opening 2-1 victory in Bulgaria. They're 1/12.00 for a repeat victory while the hapless visitors are 13/53.60 after just one win in 12 - being that price against Luxembourg shows how far they've fallen.

Both teams to score here is 11/102.11 as they've both struggled in front of goal, but luckily they're playing each other so I actually fancy that to come in here given the two defences on show. The result could go either way but let's back goals.
