Will Fernando Santos still be smiling after Portugal's match with Spain?

"Spain let their advantage slip when they lost 2-1 at home to Switzerland on Saturday and now have to go for it."

Back both Portugal and Spain to score at 1.8810/11

Spain need a win in Portugal and Dan Fitch is backing both teams to score, as he previews the action from Tuesday's Nations League schedule...

Irish can take advantage of Greece position

Greece 1.9720/21 v Northern Ireland 4.216/5; The Draw 3.39/4

Live on Premier Sports 2

Greece clinched promotion from Group C2 within four games and then lost to the bottom side Cyprus. That Cyprus victory meant that though third placed Northern Ireland beat Kosovo 2-1 on Saturday, they are still in danger of relegation. With Northern Ireland needing a result, both teams to score could land in a fourth successive game for them, this time at odds of 2.26/5.

Kosovo will get the point they need

Kosovo 1.645/8 v Cyprus 5.79/2; The Draw 3.7511/4

Cyprus are in with a shot of avoiding relegation, following their shock win over Greece. They would leapfrog Kosovo and possibly Northern Ireland with another victory. A draw would be enough for Kosovo to remain safe, so with home advantage, let's back the stalemate at 3.7511/4.

Republic can avoid relegation

Republic of Ireland 1.42/5 v Armenia 10.519/2; The Draw 4.57/2
Tuesday 27 September, 19:45
Live on Premier Player

This game will decide who is relegated from Group B1, with third placed Republic of Ireland a point ahead of Armenia. The visitors won the reverse fixture, but have since lost every Nations League game with increasingly big margins. A Republic win and over 2.5 goals is 2.47/5.

Trend will continue

Ukraine 2.56/4 v Scotland 2.9215/8; The Draw 3.4549/20

Live on Premier Sports 1

The other game in Group B1 will settle the promotion issue. Ukraine are two points behind the leaders Scotland and need a win, but they don't exactly have home advantage, with the match being held in Krakow, Poland. All of Scotland's last four games have seen over 2.5 goals, while the same has been true in three of Ukraine's four. Back a repeat at 2.111/10.

Low scoring game of no stakes

Albania 2.0521/20 v Iceland 3.711/4; The Draw 3.259/4
Tuesday 27 September, 19:45
Live on Premier Player

With Israel having clinched promotion from Group B2 and Russia having been automatically relegated, there's nothing riding on this match between Albania and Iceland. It's hard to imagine it getting out of first gear and under 2.5 goals should be backed at 1.715/7.

Goalscorers provide value

Norway 2.3611/8 v Serbia 3.4549/20; The Draw 3.3512/5
Tuesday 27 September, 19:45
Live on Premier Player

The top two teams in Group B4 meet to decide who wins promotion. Though level on ten points, it's Norway that hold the advantage having won the reverse fixture. With both sides very motivated, the result could go either way, so stick to the reliability of their goalscorers. Erling Haaland has six goals in this campaign and is 2.01/1 to score, while Aleksandar Mitrovic has five and is 2.56/4. You can combine both to score in a Bet Builder at odds of 5.41441/100.

Goals will flow

Sweden 1.768/11 v Slovenia 4.77/2; The Draw 3.711/4
Tuesday 27 September, 19:45
Live on Premier Player

Sweden need to beat Slovenia to avoid relegation, while the visitors just need a draw to remain safe. The odds of the Swedes are awfully short considering that they've lost each of their last four games. Sweden won the reverse fixture, but Slovenia are unbeaten in three (W1 D2), which includes a victory over Norway in their last game. This should be competitive and both teams to score and over 2.5 goals can be combined at odds of 2.3811/8.

Spain have to go for it

Portugal 2.427/5 v Spain 3.412/5; The Draw 3.412/5

The biggest match of the night comes from Group A2, where the leaders Portugal need to avoid defeat against second placed Spain to go into the Nations League Finals. Spain let their advantage slip when they lost 2-1 at home to Switzerland on Saturday and now have to go for it. Both teams to score should land at 1.8810/11.

Swiss will bounce Czechs out of group

Switzerland 1.728/11 v Czech Republic 6.05/1; The Draw 3.8514/5
Tuesday 27 September, 19:45
Live on Premier Player

That win over Spain means that Switzerland just have to avoid defeat to ensure that the Czechs are relegated from Group A2, rather than them. Czech Republic win the reverse fixture, but have lost the last three, while Switzerland now have back-to-back wins over Portugal and Spain. Back the hosts and under 3.5 goals at 1.9420/21.
