After last night's impressive Scotland win at Hampden the UEFA Nations League kicks in to gear in full tonight with 10 games across three of the leagues and there are a few cracking ties lined up in the top tier of the competition.
In Group A1 Denmark have made a solid start with nine points from 12 but will be seeking some revenge over Croatia for a 1-0 defeat in Copenhagen back in June.
The Danes have been in terrific form these last few years, breezing through World Cup qualification – their only loss, to Scotland, came after qualification was well wrapped up – then following that up with impressive wins in France and Austria that have helped them to top spot in the group. The defeat to Croatia being the only real blot on their copybook.
The Croats have been equally impressive but a 3-0 defeat at home to Austria sticks out like a sore thumb on their list of recent results. Their ageing squad (only five are under 27) led by 37-year-old Luca Modric might not have too many more cracks at a major tournament left and everything will be focused on Qatar in the winter where they've been group with Canada, Morocco and Belgium.
Denmark are certainly capable of going to Zagreb and getting a result but you'd probably want slightly bigger than the 2/1 on offer to get involved. It's a game the Danes must-not-lose and a draw might be a satisfactory result for them so it could be a cagey affair. Both sides' matches in the group have averaged Under 2.5 goals so far and it took until the 69th minute before the deadlock was broken between the sides in the Summer. No goal before 32:00 looks a good option at 5/6.
In the same group, holders France desperately need a win to save face and avoid the possibility of finishing bottom of the group which would see them drop into the second tier of the competition. They're winless in four group games so far but surely they can't go five without a win at home to Austria tonight? With a trip to Denmark after this one the French simply must win at 2/5.
Wales could hardly have things any tougher in Group A4 alongside Poland, Netherlands and Belgium. It's a trip to the latter for Rob Page's men tonight and there's been little to separate the two nations in recent meetings. The Welshmen have earned two creditable draws against the team ranked No.2 in the world, but both of those were in Cardiff so tonight's clash will be a tougher proposition.
Much like the aforementioned Croatia squad this golden generation of Belgian football are running out of opportinities to earn some silverware for their nation but it's still a squad packed full of quality. They've also got goals all over the pitch. No fewer than 13 of their squad have scored five international goals, compare that to just three in the Welsh squad to have done so at this level, with Gareth Bale the obvious outlier on 40 goals for his country.
Netherlands have been tremendously entertaining recently. Both teams have scored in each of the six matches this year and all but one has gone Over 2.5 Goals and matches are averaging over four goals. They shared four in a 2-2 draw with Poland in June and there could be a few more tonight again. Over 2.5 Goals pays 17/20, combine that with Over 1.5 Netherlands goals for a 5/4 BetBuilder.

Not sure who you’ve got it on with macca but it’s over 10/1 at 365 , unless you had if with them and its drifted , good luck anyway mate ?
Before the tips go up for the day just want to say that Scotland were outstanding. First time since my teenage years in the 90’s that Scotland have been so consistent and actually going into games with expectation replacing hope. 4 top class full backs in Robertson, Tierney, Patterson and Hickey. Midfield brimming with quality and up top a workhorse in Adams with big Dykes doing a job also at international level.
Long may it continue ???????
Well said ?
Just wait till you see the real Loch Ness Drogba play for Scotland ?
This same squad was totally rotten v Ireland. This threw a lot of bets last night . Yes they did play well tho !
Chelsea that’s one bad result,we could do that for any side…. England lost 4-0 to Hungary. I’m in my mid 40’s and the last 25ys or so have been horrendous watching. Now Scotland are a solid international team,we are a couple of centre halves and a quality striker from being a later stages of tournaments team. From a country that has a population half of a that London alone has its great progression.
I’m sorry it downed yours and others bets however

France v Austria

Kazakhstan v Belarus 3pm
Not one for big stakes, but I’ll be having a nibble on btts at 11/10 and 2+ Kazakhstan goals at 33/20. The home side are 4 points clear at the top of the table, so have massive incentive to win this to get promoted. They drew 1-1 away to Belarus, albeit they seem to have been dominated based on the stats, and Belarus have to win to avoid relegation, so I think both will score. BOL if you follow
Btts in after 45 mins✅… Cheers mate ?

Looking at a double tonight featuring 2 of the following 3 games and wondering if anyone has an opinion on which is the most likely to bomb.
Over 1.5 Team Goals
France
Turkey
Queen of the South
QOTS won the same fixture 4:1 at the weekend but obviously this is a cup game.
Any opinions appreciated.
Probably France i wouldn’t put a penny on them.
Thanks Macca. Could always change them to 1.5 match goals instead which will cover 1:1
You would think theyhave to start playing better soon surely, especially with Mbappe’s current form.
Yeah i think Match goals will be better,i’m on btts but i certainly wouldn’t back them to win i don’t think they care for the Nations league.

Well done, great shout. Took some of this in play as well. Under 4 and Under 3. Unbelievable only 1 corner.
Mmac I was originally drawn to Lichtenstein conceding a lot of corners and not getting many but having checked Andorras stats for away corners the obvious bet was a low corner count.

?????? COLOMBIA ??????
Rionegro Águila v Unión Magdalena
22:05
Colombian Categoria 1
MAGDALENA to score 10-11 NAP/NB (DOUBLE STAKE ) at SKYBET.
*could have took BTTS 5-4 as NB but I’m happy with the Magdalena goal price*
Rionegro good at home and scored in 20 of last 21 home league games.
Magdalena scored in 8 of last 9 away games and scored in 13 of last 16 games overall.
Magdalena finished bottom in the 1st half apertura league but are sat 2nd this time and unlike rionegro see plenty goals at both ends
3 head to heads historically seen magadalena score in all 3 with the most recent in march 2022 which saw a 2-1 win for Magdalena which was one of only 2 wins they achieved in their 20 games.
Prediction 1-1
