Spain ended Italy's world record undefeated run to book a place in Sunday's UEFA Nations League final on Sunday.
Their 2-1 win over 10-men was the Italians' first defeat in 38 matches and gives the Spanish the first chance to win silverware since 2012.
Standing in their way will be either Belgium or neighbours France who meet tonight in Turin in a match that sees the World Champions up against the team ranked number 1 in the world.
Both squads are brimming with quality so it's interesting to see how the bookies have priced this one up. France are favourites to win at 31/20 with Bet365 while the Belgians are 15/8. To qualify it's 4/5 France, Belgium 19/20.
After Spain overturned the odds on Wednesday the 15/8 on Belgium makes plenty of appeal. Their Golden Generation are running out of opportunites to capture that elusive piece of silverware and although the Nations League might be a very poor relation of the European Championships and World Cup it would still be a notable achievement for a nation who's only national title was won at the 1920 Olympics, which were held on home soil.
It should be a cracking game and with so many attacking players such as De Bruyne, Lukaku, Hazard, Benzema, Mbappe and Griezmann, we should rightly expect to see some goals. Over 2.5 pays a healthy 6/5 and is worth taking on.
Scotland's Under 21s are in tough qualifying group for the 2023 European Championships but can build an opening 1-1 draw with Turkey with a win against Denmark at Tynecastle. Mark Walker has previewed the match for us and puts his faith in Scot Gemmill's side who have claimed some notable scapls in recent years.
England's youngsters should have an easier evening in Solvenia where they're just 2/5 to make it two wins from two.

I just think 11/4 is too big to ignore on Liberia today.
Cape Verde players all play at a higher level but Liberia have the better form in the group and have home advantage.
Liberia are 13/8 DNB
But I’m just doing small stake on the win at 11/4 with Slybet.

Just to let yo know Inches, Liberia do not have home advantage, game is being played in Ghana,
just in case that alters your thinking on the game!
I didn’t realise thanks Williegee. But no I still think it was worth 20 quid on form. 1-1 atm but looking pretty even despite liberia being 5/1 dogs in play. Cheers.
Lost. Despite going 1 up they conceded in the 9nd minute to lose 2 1.

Newcastle takeover completed,January’s going to be an interesting month for them.
They will be competing with Liverpool and Man City in a few years and of course they’ll be looking at the Champions league again.
Only if they get a top top manager.
Who’s going to want to play their.
They will have to pay stupid wages to get any decent players.
Newcastle will an attractive proposition for all the top players with the money they have,a full house at a big ground.You’ll be surprised,you could also say the same about Man City look where they are now they can’t even fill their stadium.
A couple of observations:
1. You do realise the Saudis have virtually unlimited bank accounts, don’t you?
2. The Saudis like to be the best at everything. There is NO way they will invest in any football club & not pay top dollar for management & players.
They will be up there in a few years you can be sure of that.
It will certainly be an exciting project for the next Manager after Bruce, there will be so many interested in building the club back up. It can only really go onwards + upwards from here, money talks 💰💰💰💰💰
Sean567 will be a happy man!
Mourinho might even be interested at another crack in the Premier League when everything goes t*t’s up in Rome 🤔
Man city didn’t have that fair play bollocks to contend with at the beginning, so could spend what they wanted just like Chelsea did
Don`t know about the Saudis being best at football , but they certainly top of the league at kidnapping and chopping people up .
One good thing about Sports Direct. They do produce some of the world’s best over-size coffee mugs anywhere – although though they are plastered with the rather tacky SD logo 🤣

Should have gone for over 8 first half goals 😮😮😮🤣
Been trying to find a bit of value in the Portugal u21 game goal wise & with over 8 goals sitting at 5/4 it hasn’t been easy, but if you add in Portugal to score in the first 15mins it makes it more attractive. Liechtenstein are prone to an early goal with it being a fairly common occurrence looking back through their previous games. This bet could be over very quickly, but it also offers way better value if there is an early Portugal goal.

7-10. EVENS and 7-4 boooooo
2 struggling sides meet and at least they will both have a chance of some much needed points.
Both have a lot of players out due to injury mainly and national call ups etc.
Santos are in poorer form than Sao Paolo but sifting through the head to head they have scored in 11 of the last 13 head to head overall in the league, 11 of last 13 head to head here in all comps and in 4 of last 5 head to head here in the league.
Struggling to make a case for this really but got a feeling the need for points might lead to a couple of goals.
Prediction 1-1,

Think Skybet might of got it wrong with both the UEFA games. That was a massive price for Belgium to score 2+ goals. They did the same last night with the Italy game. They had BTTS at 11/10, as though they were playing a crap team. They were playing Spain who they had priced at a massive 3/1 to score 2+ goals which both duly obliged.. 👍
