Dallas bounced back from losing consecutive games with a 3-1 comeback win at Orlando before the international break as they look to maintain their strong start to the season. Nico Estevez’s side lost 2-1 at Vancouver last month, but the Canadians’ away form has been woeful.
England could do with a win to ease any Nations League relegation fears but there is little to suggest Hungary will roll over. The Magyars prevailed 1-0 when these teams met in Budapest recently and held the Three Lions to a draw in last October’s Wembley World Cup qualifier.
The last three encounters between Germany and Italy have ended in stalemate and another tight tussle is on the cards in Monchengladbach. Die Mannschaft and the Azzurri shared the spoils in Bologna earlier this month and both teams are unbeaten in Nations League Group A3.
Netherlands will be looking to strengthen their position at the top of Nations League Group A4 when entertaining basement dwellers Wales. The Dutch claimed a dramatic 2-1 win when these teams met in Cardiff last week and another entertaining encounter is anticipated.
Poland were put to the sword by Belgium last week but may have the chance to gain revenge in the return Nations League fixture. The Red Devils have since been rocked by a number of withdrawals and this could just be a case of one match too many after a long season.
Scotland need a win to get their Nations League campaign back on track but they will have to improve on their most recent showing after they were booed off the pitch against the Republic of Ireland. Steve Clarke’s side were all over the place in Dublin at the weekend.
Ireland laid to rest their Nations League hoodoo in emphatic fashion when beating Scotland and can build on that by avoiding defeat versus Ukraine. The men in green were edged out 1-0 by the same opponents in Dublin last week but there was nothing between the sides.
France are languishing at the foot of the Nations League Group A1 table and will be determined to ease any relegation fears by beating Croatia. The visitors enjoyed a boost when winning in Denmark last time out, but that may lead to a drop in intensity for this Paris clash.
Denmark suffered a frustrating loss to Croatia but are still top of Nations League Group A1 and can get back on track by beating Austria. The Danes have won the last four meetings, including two Qatar World Cup qualifiers and last week’s Vienna success in this pool.
Canada have named a strong squad for the Nations League and look too powerful for an experimental Honduras outfit in San Pedro Sula. The Reds prevailed 2-0 here in a January World Cup qualifier and are fancied to return home with maximum points once more.
Seattle Sounders will look to continue their dominance against Vancouver Whitecaps on Tuesday. The Sounders are unbeaten in 14 meetings with the Whitecaps, winning nine, and are firm favourites to prevail once again at Lumen Field.
Spain will hopefully have learned the lessons of last week’s 2-2 Nations League draw in the Czech Republic ahead of Sunday’s Malaga rematch. La Roja dominated that contest, having 73 per cent possession, but were caught out twice on the break.
Ukraine put in an inspired performance to see off Scotland in the World Cup play-offs and are fancied for another emotional triumph in Wales. Oleksandr Petrakov’s men played in a positive manner at Hampden Park, showing no signs of being adversely affected by events elsewhere.
Italy take on Argentina as the champions of Europe and South America meet at Wembley in the 2022 Finalissima. The match is a one-off tie over 90 minutes and will go straight to penalties if it ends in a draw and should be an entertaining spectacle, with tickets selling out.
