class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With everything to play for in the race for a play-off place, Al Hain-Cole expects a tight game between the Tartan Army and Ruttensteiner’s men

Scotland could take a major step towards the play-offs when they welcome Israel to Hampden Park for Saturday’s World Cup qualifier.

The Tartan Army are currently second in Group F, one point ahead of their visitors after six matches played.

Scotland vs Israel latest odds

Having lost just one of their last five games on home turf, Scotland are 9/10 (1.90) favourites with bet365 to establish a four-point cushion between themselves and third place by coming out on top here.

However, Willibald Ruttensteiner’s men are unbeaten in their last four fixtures against this opposition and Israel can be backed at 16/5 (4.20) to leapfrog them into the play-off spot with a victory in Glasgow.

Three of the last four encounters between this duo have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 23/10 (3.30) on them cancelling each other out once again in this one.

Grant Hanley is suspended after an accumulation of yellow cards, although Scott McTominay is back in contention after missing the last two qualifiers due to injury.

Hatem Elhamed is absent due to suspension for Israel, while Ariel Harush, Eitan Tibi, Orel Dganiand and Omer Atzili are all injured.

Scotland vs Israel preview

Having started this campaign with just one win from the opening four group games, Steve Clarke’s team put themselves in a strong position thanks to successive wins over Moldova and Austria.

However, they were certainly made to sweat for those six points, winning both by a narrow 1-0 margin and needing a penalty to score past the Austrians in Vienna.

In fact, they have only hit the net three times in their last six fixtures – a slightly worrying record as they prepare to take on a defence they have scored past just twice in the four most recent meetings over the last year.

With so much at stake, they will therefore aim to keep things tight and hope to shut down an Israel side that have failed to score in five out of the last 10 away fixtures.

Scotland vs Israel tips & predictions

All in all, odds of 3/4 (1.75) seem generous on no more than one team getting on target for Scotland’s seventh match in eight, as well as a third in four against Israel.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Recent encounters between Yakin's men and the Green and White Army have proved tense and tight games, and Al Hain-Cole expects more of the same

Northern Ireland will be hoping to leapfrog Switzerland into the World Cup qualification play-off places when they travel to Geneva on Saturday.

Ian Baraclough’s men are three points adrift of their hosts in third place in Group C, having taken five points from the opening four fixtures.

Switzerland vs Northern Ireland latest odds

After running out 4-1 winners in Lithuania in their last competitive away game, Northern Ireland are available at 10/1 (11.00) with bet365 to move into second spot with a big win at the Stade de Geneve.

However, Switzerland have only lost one of their last 34 World Cup qualification matches stretching back to 2008 and are clear 3/10 (1.30) favourites to move six points clear of their opponents by coming out on top here.

Three of the last four encounters between this pair have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 4/1 (5.00) on them cancelling each other out once again on this occasion.

Switzerland vs Northern Ireland team news

Gregor Kobel has withdrawn from the squad due to injury, while Granit Xhaka is also sidelined with a long-term knee injury.

Trevor Carson, Michael Smith, Alistair McCann, Corry Evans, Gavin Whyte and Shayne Lavery have all pulled out of the squad through injury and illness, although Paddy McNair is back in contention following suspension.

Switzerland vs Northern Ireland team news

Although a potentially decisive game in this group, this fixture is unlikely to attract too many neutral viewers tuning in hoping for goalmouth action.

Indeed, the seven previous meetings between this duo have produced a meagre total of six goals, with six of those games seeing no more than one goal scored and three of the most recent four finishing 0-0.

More of the same seems likely considering Murat Yakin’s team have seen only one goal at either end in their last three qualifiers and the Green and White Army have failed to score in three of their four group games but kept a clean sheet in two of the last three.

Switzerland vs Northern Ireland tips & predictions

Having held each other to a goalless stalemate only a month ago in Belfast, odds of 2/1 (3.00) represent excellent value on under 1.5 goals being scored for the sixth consecutive meeting between Switzerland and Northern Ireland.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Southgate's men have scored most of their goals after the break in recent matches, and Al Hain-Cole expects more late action in Andorra la Vella

England look set to get back to winning ways when they travel to the Estadi Nacional to take on Andorra in Saturday’s World Cup qualifier.

After four wins from their opening four Group I matches, the Three Lions were held to a 1-1 draw away in Poland last time out.

Andorra vs England latest odds

Having won all five of their previous encounters against this opposition – scoring 20 goals and conceding none – England are overwhelming 1/50 (1.02) favourites with bet365 to return to form by coming out on top in Andorra la Vella.

Koldo Alvarez’s Andorra are actually unbeaten in their last two home games but remain huge 40/1 (41.00) outsiders to pull off a shock victory against the Euro 2020 runners-up, or priced at 16/1 (17.00) to even earn a point.

Andorra vs England team news

Moi San Nicolas, Albert Alavedra and Marcio Vieira are all unavailable due to suspension for the home side, meaning 41-year-old captain Ildefons Lima is likely to start in the centre of defence.

Reece James and Kalvin Phillips have both withdrawn from the squad due to injury, with Ben Chilwell and James Ward-Prowse called up in their place.

Andorra vs England preview

While they eventually ran out comfortable 4-0 winners in the reverse encounter, Gareth Southgate’s side were made to work for that result by their underdog opponents.

Indeed, the scoreline remained at just 1-0 until the 72nd minute, when Harry Kane eventually doubled the advantage from the penalty spot.

This has been quite a recurring theme for England, who have scored just two of their last 12 goals in World Cup qualifiers before half-time.

It is likely to be a similar story against the Tricolors, who have only let in seven first-half goals in their last 10 fixtures but conceded 19 times in the second 45 during that run.

Andorra vs England tips & predictions

With Andorra set to dig in and frustrate an opponent that has one eye on the upcoming game against Hungary, odds of 10/11 (1.91) look like solid value on the majority of goalmouth action not taking place until after the break for the fourth encounter in five between these sides.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Allianz Stadium hosts this meeting between two of the best attacking sides on the continent, an encounter which should see goals at both ends

A place on the podium is up for grabs for Italy and Belgium when they meet in the UEFA Nations League third-place play-off on Sunday.

It is the fixture that neither side would have wanted to play yet defeats to Spain and France respectively in the semi-finals mean Roberto Mancini’s men will face Roberto Martinez’s side in a repeat of this summer’s Euro 2020 quarter-final. 

Italy vs Belgium latest odds

The Azzurri triumphed 2-1 in the most recent meetings between the sides in July and another Italy success can be backed at 11/10 (2.10) with bet365.

Belgium,  meanwhile, have lost four of their last five clashes with Italy and are offered at 5/2 (3.50) with the draw available at 23/10 (3.30) .

Italy vs Belgium Latest team news

The European champions are without Leonardo Bonucci after his sending off against Spain on Wednesday evening.

Belgium for their part are without Real Madrid forward Eden Hazard who picked up an injury in the defeat to world champions France.

It remains to be seen how seriously both managers approach the game or whether they use it as a chance to have a look at squad players. 

Italy vs Belgium preview

Belgium will come into the game the more deflated of the two sides having blown a two-goal lead against France, conceding a third goal in injury time just seconds after they had what they thought was the winning goal ruled out for offside.

Despite their disappointment, however, the Belgians should still be relied upon to find the back of the net, something they have done with extraordinary consistency over the last three years.

Indeed Martinez’s side are on a 39-match scoring streak in all competitions with the last time they drew a blank coming in their 1-0 World Cup semi-final defeat to France in July 2018.

Italy for their part have netted in 32 of their last 35 fixtures and still managed to look dangerous on the break in spite of Bonucci’s first-half red card.

Italy vs Belgium tips & predictions

Both teams to score is priced at 8/11 (1.73) and looks an obvious selection for a game involving these two free-scoring sides.

Backing goals at both ends in the first half is offered at 7/2 (4.50) and paid out the last time the teams clashed in July.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With both teams looking more comfortable in attack than defence, Al Hain-Cole expects an entertaining final between La Roja and Deschamps' men

Spain and France will go head-to-head for their first Nations League trophy when they meet in Milan for Sunday’s final.

Luis Enrique’s men overcame European champions Italy in their semi-final, with Ferran Torres scoring twice in a match that saw Loonardo Bonucci sent off.

Spain vs France latest odds

Having lost just one of their last seven games against this opposition, Spain are available at 19/10 (2.90) with bet365 to lift the trophy with another big win at San Siro.

France came back from 2-0 down to beat Belgium 3-2 in their semi-final and are slight 29/20 (2.45) favourites to follow that up with another victory.

Just one of the last 11 encounters between this pair has resulted in a draw, but you can get odds of 11/5 (3.20) on them taking the final into extra-time after a deadlocked 90 minutes.

Spain vs France team news

Match-winner Ferran Torres will face a late fitness test after coming off injured in the victory over Italy, with Yeremi Pino in line to replace him in attack should he fail to recover.

Lucas Digne has withdrawn from the squad with a hamstring injury, while N’Golo Kante is unavailable due to Covid-19.

Spain vs France preview

Having once again decided to go with his controversial back three against Belgium, Didier Deschamps will have been disappointed to see his side fall two goals behind within the first 40 minutes.

The World Cup-winning coach now has a decision to make over how he sets up a backline that has looked particularly fragile in recent games, keeping just one clean sheet in seven fixtures.

That vulnerability is sure to be tested by a Roja team that have not failed to find the net in nine games, scoring 22 goals in that time but keeping only two clean sheets in the most recent seven.

Spain vs France tips & predictions

With both sides looking much more impressive going forward than in defence, odds of 5/6 (1.83) look like solid value on both getting on target in a fittingly entertaining Nations League final on Sunday.

That bet would have paid out in six of France’s last seven outings, as well as five of the last seven for Spain.
