UEFA Nations League / England vs Germany

Analysis:

The two sides are preparing for Nations League action on Monday when England take on Germany.

 

England

England won’t want a repeat of their last result here after a 1-0 Nations League defeat in their last game at the hands of Italy. A common trait of recent England games is the high number of scores with a nil in them. Taking their previous six matches leading up to this one, in 5 of them a wager on "Both Teams to Score" would have lost. Such a trend won’t necessarily be sustained into this next game, though.

 

Germany

Germany have been a threat going forward in the lead-up to this encounter, scoring 9 goals in their previous 6 matches. Having said that, Germany have had their own issues at the back, also conceding in 6 of those same clashes.

 

Verdict:

We’re thinking that Germany may not find it easy to register a score against this England team who we think should get a goal themselves and run out victorious. That’s why our selection here is for a narrow 1-0 victory for England at the end of the 90 minutes.

 

Home win

UEFA Nations League / Italy vs England

 

 

Analysis:

There is Nations League action happening on Friday as Italy will be taking on England.

 

Italy

Matches with Italy have usually been exciting affairs of late with high scoring being a real hallmark. Over their past 6 games alone, the sum total of 20 goals have been scored for both teams combined (at an average of 3.33 goals per game) with 8 of them belonging to Italy.

 

England

Gareth Southgate's England have seen their efforts on goal rewarded a total of 6 times throughout their previous 6 matches. The total of goals that have been scored against them during the equivalent period adds up to 7.

 

Verdict:

We’ve got the feeling that England and Italy could both end up scoring in what appears to be a good match-up, with little separating these two teams. A draw is a real possibility, as we are expecting there to be little between them. We’re therefore tipping a tight encounter with a score draw after 90 minutes.

 

Draw

 

UEFA Nations League - Slovakia vs Azerbaijan Match Preview

 

 

Analysis:

Slovakia will be faced with Azerbaijan on UEFA Nations League League C Group 3 on Thursday.

 

Slovakia

Slovakia have been relegated from second tier after getting four points only. However, on League C, although they managed to beat Belarus and Azerbaijan both 1-0 on the road, they lost to Kazakhstan twice. Now they rank 2nd on group table with 6 points only. To be mentioned, Kazakhstan will host Belarus a few hours earlier than this game. Once Kazakhstan successfully defeats Belarus, it will be useless for Slovakia to win this game, so the team's morale possibly depends on the result of Kazakhstan VS Belarus.

 

Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan have only picked up 1 win, 1 draw and 2 loss in the previous four rounds, ranking second to the last now and only 2 points above of Belarus. Their only winning result is the 2-0 home victory over Belarus last round.

 

Prediction:

The difference in strength between these two teams is still relatively large, I will follow the odds to support Slovakia here. Also, judging from the weak attack in the previous rounds, there should not be many goals.

 

Pick: Slovakia to win

 

O/U Pick: Under 2.5 goals

UEFA Nations League - Belgium FC vs Wales FC

 

 

Analysis:

Belgium and Wales will have a nation league game at Den Dreef Stadium on Thursday.

 

Belgium

Belgium suffered a 1-4 defeat against the Netherlands in the opening group game. However, Belgium quickly relieved their load by thrashing Poland 6-1 in the second round. After that, they accumulate four points from the next two games, putting them two points behind the group's top-place team, Netherlands.

 

Wales

The Welsh team is currently threatened with relegation because they have only one point from their first four games in this group. What's worse, Joe Allen and Ben Davies will possibly be absent due to injuries and Gareth Bale is not in form because he has play a MLS game on Monday.

 

Verdict:

Beligium have not been defeated by Wales since 2021. Besides, Belgium have the home advantage. According to above, Belgium are more likely to win.

UEFA Nations League - Scotland FC vs Ukraine FC

 

 

Analysis:

Hampden Park will witness a game between Scotland and Ukraine.

 

Scotland

They are second in the group. To move to League A, they must have a winning streak in their upcoming games. Che Adams, John McGinn, and Stuart Armstrong are in the squad, and the team valued a total of €339 million.

 

Ukraine

Despite not having a home advantage this season, they have played better than expected, going 2W-1D. Now they rank at the top of Group 1, League B. They will upgrade to League A as long as they take three points from Scotland in the coming game.

 

Verdict:

With one point separating them, the two teams are vying for first place. Since Ukraine had the psychological advantage because they defeated Scotland 1-3 in their previous match, it is expected that Ukraine will triumph once more.

 

Pick: 2

 

UEFA Nations League - Iceland vs Israel Prediction

 

 

Analysis:

Lagardersvaunur Stadium will witness a game of Group B, League B of UEFA Nations League.

 

Iceland

They got a 0-1 away win from San Marino in the last friendly game. It has been seven months since their last victory. There is a lack of talented players in the team. The total value of the team is just €23.18m.

 

Israel

In the last game, they defeated Albania, ranking the top of Group B, League B, with two points ahead of Iceland. They focus more on offence, with 4 scoring goals and 3 conceding goals totally in group fixtures.

 

Verdict:

Israel have never been defeated by Iceland in the past, which take the upper hand. Besides, Iceland are not in form while Israel are ambitious. Considering that Israel are weak in defence, we believe both team to score and a narrow away win.

 

Predict: Under 2.5

UEFA Nations League- Ukraine vs Armenia

 

Pick:1x2   Ukraine  @1.22

 

Analysis:

The match between Ukraine vs Armenia for the UEFA Nations League competition is scheduled to be played on 11 June, 2022. The match kicks off at 14:00 UK time. It will take place at the Stadion Miejski LKS Lodz, in Łódź.

 

Ukraine

Ukraine are on a run of one defeat in 10 games since Euro 2020. A 1-0 win over the Republic of Ireland on Wednesday meant the Ukraine bounced back brilliantly from the disappointment of failing to qualify for the World Cup after losing their play-off to Wales. Each of his four wins have come away from home, and this match is being played at a neutral venue in Poland due to the war in Ukraine.

 

Armenia

Armenia have had a meteoric rise of late, earning promotions in both Nations League campaigns so far, but they remain as low as 92nd place in the FIFA rankings. That is down to a poor run of just two wins in 13 games, with each of those victories coming at home. On the road, they have lost five of the last seven and are winless in eight.

 

Verdict

The Blue and Yellows have never lost to Armenia, winning five of their eight meetings, although they have not faced each other since 2003. I predict that Ukraine will win this game with at least two goals in the 90 minutes.

UEFA Nations League - San Marino Vs Malta Prediction

 

 

Pick:1x2   Malta  @1.25

 

Analysis:

San Marino Vs Malta will kickoff on 5 June at Stadio Olimpico San Marino.

 

San Marino

San Marino lost against Estonia in their last match, losing the Nations League D clash with 2-0 score line. San Marino have not won any of their last 20 matches. They have lost 18 of their past 20 matches across all competitions. They are currently in a very poor form.

 

Malta

Malta last Europe World Cup Qualifiers clash was against Slovakia and the game ended in a 6-0 loss. They have earned 3 wins, yielded 12 defeats and 5 draws in previous 20 matches. In their previous 10 away matches they managed to get 1 wins, 6 defeats and 3 draws.

 

Verdict: Hopefully, Malta should be able to win this game.

 

PICK: X2
