Switzerland vs Northern Ireland: Predictions, odds & betting tips

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Gregor Kobel has withdrawn from the squad due to injury, while Granit Xhaka is also sidelined with a long-term knee injury.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

Andorra vs England: Predictions, odds & betting tips

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.

Italy vs Belgium: Predictions, tips & betting odds

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.

Spain vs France: Predictions, odds & betting tips

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.

Colombia vs Brazil: Predictions, tips & betting odds

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The visitors have been in superb form and, having won the most recent clash against Reinaldo Reyna's men, Goal is backing another win for La Canarinha

Brazil aim to continue their relentless march towards qualifying for next year’s World Cup when they visit Colombia on Sunday evening.

Tite’s side have won all nine of their matches in CONMEBOL’s qualifying tournament to sit eight points clear at the top of the table and another win against Los Cafeteros would all but secure their spot at Qatar 2022.

Colombia vs Brazil latest odds

These sides met in the group stage of the Copa America this summer with Brazil scoring two late goals to come from behind and record a 2-1 win.

Colombia are unbeaten in 90 minutes in the seven games they have contested since that defeat and bet365 price them at 3/1 (4.00).

An away victory for Brazil can be backed at evens (2.00) with the draw at 21/10 (3.10).

Colombia vs Brazil team news

Reinaldo Reyna could make changes to the Colombian forward line with Duvan Zapata a possibility to replace either Radamel Falcao or Rafael Santos Borre who both started in the goalless draw with Uruguay.

The hosts have no major players missing though for the visit of the continent’s most in-form side.

Brazil for their part are without Casemiro who pulled out of the squad with a tooth problem, although Neymar should return having missed the win in Venezuela through suspension. 

Colombia vs Brazil preview

La Canarinha’s 3-1 win in Caracas on Thursday saw them concede only their third goal in nine qualifying matches.

Indeed, Brazil have kept seven clean sheets in the tournament so far, in stark contrast to Colombia who have managed just three shut-outs in 10 matches.

The visitors should be fancied to record another win given their form and quality, yet it should be a tight encounter in the humidity of the Caribbean city of Barranquilla, where Colombia generally tend to compete well against the continent’s most powerful footballing nations.

Brazil’s last visit ended in a 1-1 draw and backing another low-scoring game should appeal. 

Colombia vs Brazil tips & predictions 

Brazil to win and under 3.5 goals in the game is offered at 6/4 (2.50) and looks like an appealing option, one which has paid out in six of the Brazilians’ last seven World Cup qualifiers.

Argentina vs Uruguay: Predictions, tips & betting odds

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>This regional rivalry tends to produce tight matches and, with both teams in strong defensive form, opposing goals makes sense

The Estadio Monumental hosts an appealing fixture on Sunday as Argentina face neighbours Uruguay in CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying.

Lionel Scaloni’s side sit second in the table, three points ahead of La Celeste, although a win for the visitors in Buenos Aires could see them overtake their rivals. 

Argentina vs Uruguay latest odds

The last meeting between these sides came in the Copa America in June, with Argentina winning a tight game by a 1-0 scoreline.

Another success for the Albiceleste can be backed at 8/13 (1.61) with bet365 with the draw available at 5/2 (3.50).

Uruguay are winless against their more illustrious neighbours in their last five games and are offered at 5/1 (6.00) to end that run. 

Argentina vs Uruguay team news

The hosts will be led by Lionel Messi who is set to captain the side once more, with Inter forward Joaquin Correa likely to lead the line as he did in the goalless draw against Paraguay.

Argentina have no major injury concerns heading into the game, with Uruguay too boasting a clean bill of health.

Luis Suarez started against Colombia in the last game and he is likely to feature once more, with Edinson Cavani or Darwin Nunez possible candidates to partner him up front instead of Bryan Rodriguez. 

Argentina vs Uruguay preview

There is no love lost between these two international rivals and this fixture tends to produce tight, aggressive matches.

The visitors have kept four clean sheets in their last six qualifiers and will aim to keep things extremely tight once more against an Argentina side who were frustrated in Paraguay on Thursday.

Opposing a high-scoring game makes plenty of sense and Diego Godin will aim to mark his record-breaking 150th appearance in the heart of the Uruguay defence with another solid performance.

Argentina have also seemingly solved some of their defensive issues and their record of six clean sheets in nine matches is one of their best defensive runs in recent years. 

Argentina vs Uruguay tips & predictions

Under 2.5 goals and both teams to score ‘no’ is priced at evens (2.00) and looks to offer excellent value in what should be a close encounter.

Estonia vs Wales: Predictions, odds & betting tips

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With Rob Page's men looking fragile at the back recently, Al Hain-Cole expects them to share the scoring with an in-form Blueshirts attack

Wales will be aiming to return to winning ways when they travel to Tallinn to take on Estonia for Monday’s World Cup qualifier.

The Dragons achieved a creditable 2-2 away draw with Czech Republic on Friday, their second stalemate in successive Group E games.

Estonia vs Wales latest odds

Held to a goalless draw in the reverse encounter against this opposition, Wales are available at 9/20 (1.45) with bet365 to turn one point into three at the Lillekula Stadium.

Thomas Haberli’s side moved to within four points of their opponents with their 2-0 home win over Belarus and Estonia can be backed at 7/1 (8.0) to reduce that gap even further by coming out on top here.

The visitors have actually drawn three of their last four fixtures in all competitions and are priced at 29/10 (3.90) to play out yet another stalemate in this one.

Estonia vs Wales first goalscorer

The home team’s top scorer in qualification with three goals to his name, Henri Anier is their 9/1 (10.0) favourite to open the scoring while Erik Sorga can be backed at 12/1 (13.0) after breaking the deadlock against Belarus on Friday.

Having stepped up in Gareth Bale’s absence to score against the Czechs last time out, Aaron Ramsey and Daniel James are priced at generous 7/1 (8.0) and 13/2 (7.50) first goalscorer odds respectively in this clash.

Estonia vs Wales preview

Although pleased with an important point gained away to their closest rivals for the play-off spot, Rob Page’s men will have been disappointed to concede an equaliser within two minutes of going ahead before falling behind just after half-time.

After conceding twice in the previous away game in Belarus, they do not look in great shape defensively for another potentially tricky trip on Monday.

Indeed, Estonia have only failed to score once in their last eight games in their own backyard, grabbing two goals in each of their first three group games at home to Czech Republic, Belgium and Belarus.

Estonia vs Wales betting tips & predictions

On current form, odds of 13/8 (2.63) seem very generous on both teams to score for Estonia’s seventh home game in nine, as well as a fourth consecutive group game on the road for Wales.

Faroe Islands vs Scotland: Predictions, odds & betting tips

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>After the exhilaration of the Israel win, Al Hain-Cole thinks the Tartan Army could be in for a frustrating 90 minutes against Ericson's men

Click Here: rugby store

After their dramatic late win over Israel, Scotland will be hoping for a more comfortable victory when they travel to Torshavn to take on the Faroe Islands on Tuesday.

Saturday’s victory has left Steve Clarke’s men in a strong position in their bid for a play-off spot, moving them four points clear of their closest challengers with three games still to play.

Faroe Islands vs Scotland latest odds

Having eased to a 4-0 victory over this opposition in the reverse encounter, Scotland are 2/7 (1.29) favourites with bet365 to take another big step towards sealing second place with three points here.

Faroe Islands are second from bottom in Group F with four points from their opening seven matches but can be backed at 11/1 (12.0) to cause an upset by coming out on top or 4/1 (5.00) to earn a creditable draw.

Faroe Islands vs Scotland first goalscorer

Lyndon Dykes is the visitors’ 9/2 (5.50) favourite to open the scoring at Torsvollur after getting on target in each of his last three internationals, while John McGinn offers decent value at 15/2 (8.50) after scoring the first two goals in March’s reverse encounter.

Klaemint Olsen looks like the home team’s best bet at 14/1 (15.0) to break the deadlock after scoring three times in his last four appearances, with Joan Edmundsson on offer at 16/1 (17.0) to add to his seven international goals with the opener.

Faroe Islands vs Scotland preview

While emotions were running high following Scott McTominay’s last-minute winner against Israel, the Tartan Army will need to get straight back to business for a game that could represent a significant banana skin.

Indeed, Hakan Ericson’s side are not quite the whipping boys their reputation might suggest, having conceded more than twice in only one of their last nine home games – restricting Denmark and Austria to just three goals between them at this ground in qualification.

This is cause for concern for a Scotland team that have struggled for cutting edge at times, scoring more than once in just one of their last eight fixtures.

Faroe Islands vs Scotland betting tips & predictions

In fact, odds of 19/20 (1.95) seem like decent value on under 2.5 goals being scored for the Faroes’ third game in four and a seventh match in nine for Scotland.

England vs Hungary: Predictions, odds & betting tips

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having run out comfortable 4-0 winners in the reverse encounter, Al Hain-Cole expects the Three Lions to ease to victory over Rossi's men

England will be looking to take another step towards World Cup qualification when they welcome Hungary to Wembley on Tuesday.

Gareth Southgate’s men are four points clear at the top of Group I, having won six and drawn one of their seven matches so far.

England vs Hungary latest odds

Currently enjoying a 12-match winning streak in World Cup qualification on home turf, England are 1/6 (1.17) favourites with bet365 to extend that run to 13 with another victory here.

Hungary’s chances of reaching the play-offs were dealt a major blow by their 1-0 home defeat against Albania on Saturday but they can be backed at 14/1 (15.00) to resurrect some glimmer of hope by pulling off a shock win in London.

Just one of the 12 previous meetings between these two sides has resulted in a draw, but you can get odds of 6/1 (7.00) on them playing out a stalemate in this one.

England vs Hungary first goalscorer

Kept on the bench during the 5-0 win in Andorra, Harry Kane is the 9/4 (3.25) favourite to open the scoring on his return to the line-up, while Raheem Sterling is available at 4/1 (5.00) after breaking the deadlock in the reverse encounter.

With main striker Adam Szalai out injured, Daniel Salloi and Roland Sallai are the visitors’ equal 22/1 (23.00) front runners to silence the home crowd with a surprise opener for the away team.

England vs Hungary preview

Having taken seven points from the first available nine in Group I, Marco Rossi’s team were disappointed to lose 4-0 in the reverse encounter against this opposition in Budapest.

It is fair to say that the wheels have come off their qualification bid since then, with a narrow 2-1 home win over Andorra sandwiched between damaging defeats against play-off rivals Albania.

Those two strikes against Andorra – one from the penalty spot – are Hungary’s only goals in the last four matches, while they have now gone seven games without a clean sheet.

England vs Hungary betting tips & predictions

With the Three Lions back to full strength and boasting an intimidating home record in qualifiers, odds of 13/10 (2.30) seem generous on them beating this opposition by at least three clear goals once again.

Argentina vs Peru: Predictions, tips & betting odds

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The hosts have been in strong defensive form and should be able to keep out a poor Peruvian attack when they meet in Buenos Aires

Argentina welcome Peru to the Estadio Monumental, with Lionel Scaloni’s side aiming to continue their impressive run of form in CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying.

The Albiceleste beat neighbours Uruguay 3-0 at the weekend to extend their unbeaten run in the tournament to 14 matches and face a Peru team they beat 2-0 when they met in Lima in the corresponding fixture last year. 

Argentina vs Peru latest odds

The two-time world champions last tasted defeat in any competition over two years ago and bet365 make Argentina clear favourites at 3/10 (1.30) to record a win.

Peru for their part have won just three of their 11 qualifiers and were beaten 1-0 by struggling Bolivia at the weekend.

The visitors can be backed at 10/1 (11.00) to claim their first victory over Argentina since 1997, with the draw offered at 15/4 (4.75).

Argentina vs Peru first goalscorer

Lionel Messi has been in superb scoring form for his country with four strikes in his last three games and unsurprisingly is the shortest-priced player in the first goalscorer market.

The PSG forward can be backed at 7/4 (2.75) ahead of his team-mates Lautaro Martinez who is available at 4/1 (5.00) and Lucas Alario who is offered at 9/2 (5.50).

Peru’s joint-top scorers in the tournament are Christian Cueva and Andre Carillo who have both scored three times and are offered at 25/1 (26.00) and 22/1 (23.00) respectively. 

Argentina vs Peru preview

Peru have had clear problems in front of goal in the competition, scoring just 10 times in 11 matches.

Indeed, Ricardo Gareca’s men have failed to score in five games, most recently against a Bolivia team that have by some distance the worst defence in the tournament.

Argentina, meanwhile, have looked solid at the back, conceding just six times and keeping three consecutive clean sheets.

At home, they have let in two goals in 450 minutes in World Cup qualifying and should be able to keep a misfiring Peruvian attack at bay once more.
