The big games just keep on coming in the Nations League and the clash between Turkey and France in Istanbul is the pick of tonight's action.
The swashbuckling French were looking good for World Cup glory in the summer before coming a cropper in the semi-finals against Spain.
Long-serving boss Didier Deschamps has been replaced by fellow 1998 World Cup hero Zinedine Zidane but Turkey away is a tricky first fixture for him.
Turkey vs France top betting tips
The Turks were flagged up as World Cup dark horses this summer but flopped as they failed to make the knockout stages.
They still have a talented squad though and could cause Zidane a few problems in his first game at the helm.
Les Blues shipped six goals in their last outing, albeit in a meaningless third-place play-off against England, so I fancy BTTS and over 2.5 goals tonight at 10/11 with Bet365.
Keeping Kylian Mbappe quiet will be a tough task for the Turks and he's 4/6 for anytime scorer. I'm more drawn to the 6/4 on offer for assist king Michael Olise to set up another goal.
The Bayern Munich winger boasts 14 assists for Les Bleus, with seven of them coming at the World Cup.
Italy vs Belgium
The other games in Group A1 also has the potential to be a cracker as Italy take on Belgium in Rome.
Roberto Mancini, the man who led the Azzurri to glory at Euro 2020, is back at the helm after spending the last three years in Saudi Arabia.
Italy are still reeling from missing out on another World Cup and they're up against a Belgian side who reached the quarter-finals this summer.
The Red Devils are also under new management, with Dutchman Mark van Bommel taking the reins, so it's a tricky one to predict.
The half-time draw is a good option in what should be a tight game and it pays 5/4 with Bet365.
Both teams possess plenty of talent in attack so I'm going to back keepers Gianluigi Donnarumma and Senne Lammens to make over 2.5 saves each. That pays 13/8 in a bet builder at Bet365.
Georgia vs Northern Ireland
Georgia flopped in World Cup qualifying but will be looking to build up a head of steam in the Nations League, starting with tonight's clash against Northern Ireland.
After winning plenty of admirers at Euro 2024, the Georgians failed to push on and crashed to defeat in five of their six World Cup qualifiers.
Despite that disappointment, Willy Sagnol remains at the helm and things have improved a little during a run of four friendly games without defeat.
Northern Ireland are usually a tough nut to crack with Michael O'Neill at the helm and they reached the World Cup play-offs before losing to Italy in the semis.
But Georgia have more firepower in attack, boasting PSG star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Villarreal's Georges Mikautadze, so they look justified favourites at 5/6.
Combining the home win with over 1.5 goals tonight pays 13/10 and that's where my money is going.
