Netherlands are blazing a trail in Group A4 and are favourites to lift the trophy next summer in the Nations League outright winner odds. England and world champions France have no chance of making the final four after stumbling their way through the early games.
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.
Switzerland were thrashed 4-0 by Portugal in Lisbon but can hopefully be much more competitive in the reverse fixture. Manager Murat Yakin has been rotating his squad, so he should have enough fresh players to challenge the Group A2 table toppers in Geneva.
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.
England will hope to claim some slight form of revenge for their Euro 2020 penalty shootout loss to Italy when these teams meet at Molineux. The Three Lions finished strongly in Tuesday’s draw with Germany and now need a victory to kick-start their Nations League campaign.
Games between Ireland and Scotland have historically been tight tussles and another close encounter is on the cards in Dublin. However, the Scots just seem to be in a better place than their hosts right now and they get the nod to shade this Nations League Group B1 match.
Wales have had time to celebrate reaching the World Cup finals and now need to focus on avoiding relegation in the Nations League. The Dragons held Belgium to a draw at home in a Qatar 2022 qualifier last November and are backed to pick up another solid point in Cardiff.
