We have UEFA Nations League Round 1 tips for the biggest games of the week, with action kicking off on Friday morning with a slate of games.
Punters can get the latest football odds at Neds, which are available for every game of the Nations League tournament.
Italy hasn’t shown much over the last 8-10 years, including missing out on the World Cup, and we can’t justify their odds for this match.
There is much better value with Belgium at $3.10, and although they can be tough to predict, we thought they played well in the World Cup for the most part.
Romelu Lukaku should get his name on the scoring sheet, and he could power Belgium to a famous road victory in Italy.
The French team is stacked with quality players, and although most of the attention goes to Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele shouldn’t be overlooked.
He was amazing in the World Cup for France when scoring plenty of goals, and he could pick up where he left off.
Getting $2.25 is a good price for Dembele to score in what should be a high-scoring affair, so we’re including him in our football predictions this week.
We fancy Croatia’s chances of beating Czechia in their opening game of the tournament, and the $2.15 odds reflect their hopes.
They have a team good enough to test some of the better teams in the Nations League if they put everything together, and Czechia could struggle in a tough pool.
We’re happy to take the $2.15 odds, as we priced Croatia at around $1.90 to win on the road.
Our UEFA Nations League tips include Spain to beat England, and the World Cup champions are brimming with confidence.
There is reason to get excited about the prospect of England in this tournament, but they often struggle to beat the top teams, and Spain is right at the top of the rankings.
Lamine Yamal could have an impact by scoring a goal, and he could have a big moment in the second half to put Spain ahead.
