Wales have been rocked by off-field issues involving absent head coach Ryan Giggs but still get the nod to edge out USA at Liberty Stadium in Swansea. The visitors are playing in their first match together since February and that will surely count against them in this international friendly. More...

Scotland have drawn the short straw in the Euro 2020 play-off finals by having to visit Serbia but travel in fine spirits following a fine run of results. Their hosts can call on a number of top-class individuals, but have been inconsistent in recent times and could be worth taking on at the odds on offer. More...

Northern Ireland and Slovakia both needed penalties to reach the Euro 2020 play-off finals and another tight tussle is expected in Belfast. The visitors are rated a superior side on paper, but past evidence shows they do not travel well and that should ensure a cagey contest at Windsor Park. More...

England have won their last five encounters with Wales and will be keen to extend that sequence in Thursday's friendly clash at Wembley. The Three Lions put in a couple of lacklustre Nations League displays last month and have been rocked by off-field issues featuring several players. More...

Slovakia and Republic of Ireland have a history of tight tussles and Thursday's Euro 2020 qualifying play-off promises to be another close encounter. These evenly-matched teams have played out four consecutive draws since the men in green shaded their first meeting 1-0 back in 2007. More...

Northern Ireland face a tough task when travelling to Sarajevo to face Bosnia and Herzegovina in a Euro 2020 qualifying play-off. The visitors are 12 places higher in the FIFA rankings, but their hosts have a far more talented team on paper and beat them twice in the Nations League two years ago. More...

Portugal and Spain warm up for the next round of Nations League matches with a high-profile Lisbon friendly and we're backing the hosts to prevail. The Navigators have assembled a strong, settled squad which looks well equipped to take on any team on the planet right now. More...

We've taken a fresh look at the Euro 2020 winner odds following the news that UEFA has postponed the finals by a full year due to the coronavirus outbreak. The tournament will now take place from June 11 to July 11 in 2021, staged in 12 different cities across Europe, with the semi-finals and final to be at Wembley. More...

Wales can secure automatic qualification for Euro 2020 if beating Hungary in Cardiff and are fancied to achieve that feat. The Dragons lost 1-0 to the same opponents in Budapest five months ago, but they have been strong on home turf, while the Magyars do not tend to travel well. More...

Scotland have a score to settle with Kazakhstan as they look to end their Euro 2020 Group I campaign on a high note at Hampden Park. The Scots started out with a 3-0 loss to the same team back in March, but have since had a change of leadership and look in better shape for the reverse fixture. More...

Germany have already qualified from Euro 2020 Group C but will still be keen to wrap up top spot when entertaining Northern Ireland in Frankfurt. Die Mannschaft have claimed eight straight wins over the men in green, who are resigned to finishing third in this pool and entering the play-offs. More...

Denmark only need a draw in Dublin to qualify from Euro 2020 Group D and recent history suggests they can hold the Republic of Ireland. These teams have met five times over the past couple of years and four of those games have ended in stalemate, with the Danes winning the other. More...

England have qualified from Euro 2020 Group A in impressive fashion, but they were given a scare by Kosovo when these teams met in Southampton. Gareth Southgate's side ultimately prevailed 5-3, but not before their opponents had created a favourable impression with some enterprising play. More...

Argentina lost out to Brazil in this year's Copa America semis but have won two of their last four Superclasico de las Americas meetings. La Albiceleste head into the latest renewal of this fixture in good shape and could prove a value bet to come out on top again in Saudi Arabia on Friday evening. More...

England have already hammered Montenegro 5-1 away in Euro 2020 Group A and are priced at prohibitive odds to do the double over them at Wembley on Thursday. The Brave Falcons have failed to score in their last four qualifiers and are currently without star striker Stevan Jovetic due to injury. More...

Belgium and Russia have dominated Euro 2020 Group I in impressive fashion, but we just feel the Red Devils are a class apart at present. They prevailed 3-1 when these sides met in Brussels at the start of this pool back in March, since when both teams have rattled off seven straight victories. More...

Scotland salvaged some pride from a poor Euro 2020 qualifying campaign when thrashing San Marino 6-0 but may have to settle for a draw when visiting Cyprus. Steve Clarke began his reign with a 2-1 victory over Cyprus at Hampden in June, but has been hit by injury problems ahead of the reverse fixture. More...

Wales must win their last couple of Euro 2020 Group C qualifiers to have any chance of a top-two finish and can start off by beating Azerbaijan in Baku. The hosts are bottom of this pool, having picked up just one point from six fixtures, although they have scored in all three home matches so far. More...

Michael O'Neill will be hoping to sign off his tenure as Northern Ireland boss on a high but faces a daunting test when the Netherlands visit Belfast. O'Neill is still in charge despite securing a switch to Championship club Stoke and will at least oversee this game and a trip to Germany in Euro 2020 Group C. More...

Switzerland must go for a win when taking on the Republic of Ireland in Geneva and are fancied to get their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign back on track. The Swiss are four points behind Ireland and Denmark, but have a game in hand and finish off with matches against Georgia at home and Gibraltar away. More...

England will be determined to quickly exorcise the demons of Friday's loss in the Czech Republic when visiting Bulgaria. The Three Lions tamely surrendered a decade-long, 43-match unbeaten run in European and World Cup qualifying matches in Prague but are expected to get back on track in Sofia. More...

Northern Ireland have a good record against the Czech Republic and are worth backing to grind out a draw in Prague. The Green and White Army picked up a point at Generali Arena during qualifying for the 2018 World Cup and have gone four head-to-head clashes without defeat. More...

Scotland must try to salvage some pride from a miserable Euro 2020 qualifying campaign when hosting Group I whipping boys San Marino. The Scots suffered a fourth straight defeat in this pool when losing 4-0 away to Russia on Thursday, but their opponents were crushed 9-0 by Belgium on the same night. More...

Wales have work to do to qualify from Euro 2020 Group E but can keep their hopes alive by drawing with table toppers Croatia on home turf. The visiting World Cup finalists impressed when slamming Hungary 3-0 in Split on Thursday but have not travelled too well during this campaign. More...

Netherlands were almost caught napping by Northern Ireland but will hopefully be more on the ball when visiting Belarus in Euro 2020 Group C. A fully focused Dutch outfit should be able to secure a smooth success in Minsk, against opponents who have failed to score in their last four home games. More...

Republic of Ireland will face Georgia for the seventh time in six years when travelling to Tbilisi for Saturday's Euro 2020 qualifier and have a great head-to-head record. The men in green have won five and drawn the other of their previous encounters, including a 1-0 Dublin victory back in March. More...

England have adopted an attacking approach in claiming four straight Euro 2020 Group A wins and can continue that trend when visiting the Czech Republic. Gareth Southgate's side beat the same opponents 5-0 at Wembley and have since scored 14 times versus Montenegro, Bulgaria and Kosovo. More...

Emile Heskey won 62 international caps for England as a powerful front man and performed with distinction for several Premier League clubs. In an exclusive interview with bwin, the former Liverpool, Leicester and Aston Villa forward discusses some of the hot topics in the game. More...

Germany entertain Argentina and a home win is expected in a rematch of the 1986, 1990 and 2014 World Cup finals. Die Mannschaft should be in good spirits following the recent Champions League exploits of their Bundesliga teams and have a youngish squad full of energy and enthusiasm. More...

Scotland's hopes of qualifying for Euro 2020 via Group I are all but over, so they should be able to play with freedom when visiting Russia. Their hosts are on course to finish second after posting five wins and a loss to leaders Belgium from six fixtures, including last month's 2-1 triumph at Hampden. More...
