class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having seen off Croatia in impressive form last time out, Al Hain-Cole is backing Les Bleus to ease past Shevchenko's men at the Stade de France

France will be hoping to give the home support something to celebrate when they welcome Ukraine to Paris for Wednesday’s international friendly match.

Les Bleus will be welcoming a small number of supporters back into the ground after playing their last match behind closed doors, with 1,000 fans set to take their place at the Stade de France.

France vs Ukraine Latest Odds

Having won eight and lost none of their last nine fixtures in all competitions, they are 2/5 (1.40) favourites with bet365 to reward the crowd with a victory in the capital.

Andriy Shevchenko’s men were thrashed 4-0 by Spain in their last match but can be backed at 7/1 (8.00) to bounce back with a shock win here.

Just one of the last seven meetings between this duo has resulted in a draw, but you can get odds of 7/2 (4.50) on this one finishing up all square.

France vs Ukraine Team News

Houssem Aouar has been handed a second chance to make his senior debut, having been forced to withdraw from the squad last time due to testing positive for COVID-19.

Andriy Pyatov and Taras Stepanenko have withdrawn, while Yevhen Konoplyanka and Oleksandr Zinchenko are injured for Ukraine.

France vs Ukraine Preview

Having been forced to play their impressive 4-2 Nations League win over Croatia without supporters, Didier Deschamps’ team will be confident of serving up a similar display for the fans this time out.

On current form, they should prove far too strong for a Yellow and Blue side whose only wins in their last eight away matches have come against Lithuania and Luxembourg.

The return of Kylian Mbappe and Paul Pogba should only add credence to that as well, considering they were absent for the victory over Croatia but are back in the squad this time around.

France vs Ukraine Tips and Predictions

Indeed, odds of 11/10 (2.10) seem generous on France winning by at least two clear goals against a Ukraine side that was so easily brushed aside by Spain in their last outing.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With both Southgate's men and the Dragons both looking more comfortable in defence than attack, Al Hain-Cole isn't expecting many goals at Wembley

Local bragging rights are up for grabs when England welcome Wales to Wembley for Thursday’s international friendly.

The Three Lions have not lost against their neighbours since the 1984 Home Championship, winning five out of five encounters since then.

England vs Wales Latest Odds

Having won each of their last seven fixtures on home turf, they are 3/10 (1.30) favourites with bet365 to come out on top once again here.

However, Ryan Giggs’ men come into this clash on the back of a four-match winning streak and can be backed at 8/1 (9.00) to get one over on their rivals in London.
 
The hosts were held to a 0-0 draw by Denmark in their last match, and there are odds of 9/2 (5.50) on them playing out another stalemate in this one.

England vs Wales Team News

Tammy Abraham, Jadon Sancho and Ben Chilwell have been ruled out after breaching COVID regulations, while Raheem Sterling is injured.

Hal Robson-Kanu, Gareth Bale, Joe Allen and Tom Lockyer are all missing for the visitors due to injuries.

England vs Wales Preview

Having scored goals for fun in last year’s qualification matches, Gareth Southgate’s team found the net just once in two frustrating fixtures against Iceland and Denmark during the last international break.

They could be in for another tough test when they take on the Dragons, who have conceded just three times in eight games and kept a clean sheet in each of the most recent four.

Nevertheless, England will at least be confident of keeping things tight themselves after going five matches in a row without conceding, particularly as their opponents have only struck 17 times across their last 17 games.

England vs Wales Tips and Predictions

All in all, odds of 23/20 (2.15) look generous on under 2.5 goals being scored for England’s third match in succession, as well as an eighth in eight for Wales.

All odds correct at time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With the Green and White Army struggling for form in recent fixtures, Al Hain-Cole can't see them finding their way past Bajevic's men in Sarajevo

Bosnia and Northern Ireland will be hoping to move one step closer to Euro 2020 qualification when they meet at the Stadion Grbavica in Thursday’s play-off semi-final.

The winner of this one-off clash will go through to a final against either Slovakia or the Republic of Ireland and the opportunity to qualify for next summer’s rescheduled tournament.

Bosnia vs Northern Ireland Latest Odds

Having come out on top in both of their Nations League meetings in 2018, Dusan Bajevic’s men are 10/11 (1.91) favourites with bet365 to progress with another win.

The Green and White Army have won just one of their last seven matches in all competitions, and are 16/5 (4.20) outsiders to pull off a big win in Sarajevo.

A draw would see this clash go to extra-time and potentially penalties, and you can get odds of 23/10 (3.30) on them remaining deadlocked after 90 minutes.

Bosnia vs Northern Ireland Team News

Haris Duljevic will not take part after testing positive for COVID-19, while Milan Duric has been called up to replace the injured Elvir Koljic.

Johnny Evans and Tom Flanagan are both available again after missing September’s matches, although Matthew Kennedy has been ruled out due to injury.

Bosnia vs Northern Ireland Preview

New manager Ian Baraclough certainly has large shoes to fill in replacing Michael O’Neill, who was originally supposed to be in charge for these fixtures before the coronavirus crisis caused their postponement.

Although he made a creditable start in the 1-1 away draw in Romania, the former Under-21 coach then saw his side thrashed 5-1 at home to Norway – hardly ideal preparation for such a crucial game.

In fact, things were not all rosy towards the end under O’Neill, whose tenure ended in a 6-1 defeat in Germany and just one win in the final five matches.

Bosnia vs Northern Ireland Tips and Predictions

All things considered, those 10/11 (1.91) odds look like the sensible option on Bosnia proving too strong for a faltering Northern Ireland on home turf.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Red and White held Southgate's men to a goalless draw in the reverse encounter, and Al Hain-Cole is backing them to keep things tight once again

England will be looking to build on their impressive win over Belgium when they welcome Denmark to Wembley in Wednesday’s Nations League clash.

The Three Lions ran out 2-1 winners over the world’s number one ranked side, leapfrogging them into first place in Group A2 in the process.

England vs Denmark Latest Odds

Having won six and lost none of their last seven matches in all competitions, England are 4/6 (1.67) favourites with bet365 to maintain their strong form with another victory here.

However, Kasper Hjulmand’s team has lost just once in 19 fixtures and is available at 4/1 (5.00) to move level on points with the hosts by coming out on top in London.

The sides shared a 0-0 draw in last month’s reverse encounter, and you can get odds of 14/5 (3.80) on them cancelling each other out once again.

England vs Denmark Team News

Harry Kane is set to start after Gareth Southgate rejected Tottenham’s request to release him from the squad, but Ben Chilwell and Kieran Trippier have both withdrawn from the squad.

Andreas Skov Olsen has left the Denmark squad after being stretchered off with a back injury in Sunday’s 3-0 win over Iceland.

England vs Denmark Preview

Although spirits are high now thanks to the Belgium result, the mood was far more muted after last month’s narrow 1-0 win over Iceland and the subsequent 0-0 draw in Copenhagen.

That goalless stalemate was no fluke for the Red and White, who have kept eight clean sheets in their last 10 matches coming into this clash.

They are therefore likely to set up in similarly defensive fashion once again when they take on Southgate’s men, who have only conceded once in seven matches themselves.

England vs Denmark Tips and Predictions

All in all, odds of 10/11 (1.91) are not to be missed on under 2.5 goals being scored once again between England and Denmark.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>After a pair of goalless draws, our tipster is backing the holders of the Nations League to get back to winning ways at the Estadio Jose Alvalade

Portugal look to cement their place at the top of Group Three of League A of the UEFA Nations League with a win over Sweden on Wednesday evening.

Fernando Santos’ men drew 0-0 in France at the weekend to stay in first position, although the result marked their second goalless draw of the international break after a stalemate in a friendly with neighbours Spain.

Sweden, meanwhile, are bottom of the group after three successive defeats but may be in good spirits after claiming a 2-1 friendly win over Russia last week.

Portugal vs Sweden Latest Odds

Portugal have not lost a competitive game on home soil since 2014, although they did lose 3-2 when Sweden visited in a friendly three years ago.

The hosts remain clear favourites to claim three points, priced at 9/20 (1.45) with bet365, with the visitors at 6/1 (7.00) and the draw at 16/5 (4.20).

Portugal vs Sweden Team News

The hosts are without goalkeeper Anthony Lopes and star forward Cristiano Ronaldo after they bothed tested positive for coronavirus.

Sweden defender Filip Helander has left the squad with an injury.

Portugal vs Sweden Preview

This will be the fifth meeting between these two nations in the last seven years, with the most recent clash seeing Portugal win 2-0 last month thanks to a brace from Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portuguese have a strong scoring record at home, understandably given the array of attacking talent they possess, while Sweden are yet to keep a clean in this edition of the Nations League.

Therefore, backing the hosts to score looks like an appealing prospect with Portugal netting at least twice in five of their last eight clashes against Sweden.

Portugal vs Sweden Tips And Predictions

Portugal to win and score over 1.5 goals is priced at 5/6 (1.83) and looks like a shrewd angle from which to approach backing a home win.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having lost their scoring touch in recent matches, Al Hain-Cole expects the Oranje to play out a low-scoring clash against Mancini's men in Bergamo

Click Here: kids football tracksuits

Italy will be aiming to move clear at the top of their Nations League group when they welcome the Netherlands to Bergamo on Wednesday.

Roberto Mancini’s team are in first place of Group A1 after winning one and drawing two of the three opening fixtures, extending their unbeaten streak to 18 games in all competitions.

Italy vs Netherlands Latest Odds

Having run out 1-0 winners in the reverse encounter in Amsterdam, they are even money (2.00) favourites with bet365 to continue their good form with another victory here.

The Oranje have failed to win any of their last three matches in all competitions but can be backed at 11/4 (3.75) to return to form by coming out on top at the Gewiss Stadium.

All three of the hosts’ previous home matches in this competition have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 12/5 (3.40) on them being held to another stalemate in this one.

Italy vs Netherlands Team News

Andrea Belotti is suspended for an accumulation of bookings after picking up a yellow card against Poland, with Ciro Immobile likely to deputise in attack.

Memphis Depay is available again after missing Sunday’s draw with Bosnia, although Marten de Roon will now serve a one-match ban following a yellow card in that clash.

Italy vs Netherlands Preview

While Depay’s return will be more than welcome, it will take a massive turnaround to improve an attack that has lost its way in recent fixtures – scoring just once in four matches and failing to find the net in each of the last three.

It is hard to see them improving on this against the Azzurri, who have only conceded twice in eight matches and gone three matches without conceding.

Nevertheless, Frank de Boer can at least draw some confidence from a backline that has conceded just twice in six fixtures themselves, making a high-scoring clash seem unlikely.

Italy vs Netherlands Tips and Predictions

Indeed, odds of 4/5 (1.80) seem like solid value on under 2.5 goals being scored for Italy’s eighth Nations League game in eight, as well as a seventh in eight for the Netherlands.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Both the Eagles and the Seagulls have been in fine goalscoring form this season and our tipster is backing Potter's men to continue their good run

Crystal Palace and Brighton will both be hoping to get their seasons back on track when they face off at Selhurst Park on Sunday.

The Eagles began the campaign in fine fashion with wins over Southampton and Manchester United but have since faltered, losing their last two matches before the international break.

It has also been a particularly tough run for the Seagulls who have lost to Chelsea, Man United and Everton, but did ease past Newcastle 3-0 in September.

Crystal Palace vs Brighton Latest Odds

Palace picked up six home wins last season – all against teams in the bottom half – and bet365 make them slight 13/8 (2.63) favourites to take the points on Sunday.

Brighton’s only win this season came on the road and they are 17/10 (2.70) to double their points tally with victory in London.

The sides played out a 1-1 draw in the corresponding fixture last term and a repeat result is offered at 23/10 (3.30).

Crystal Palace vs Brighton Team News

Patrick van Aanholt, Gary Cahill and James Tomkins are all injured for the hosts, but on-loan Michy Batshuayi is able to play after being ineligible against parent club Chelsea last time out.

Graham Potter is sweating on the fitness of Davy Propper, Tariq Lamptey and Alireza Jahanbakhsh, but Florin Andone and Christian Walton are out.

Crystal Palace vs Brighton Preview

Only six Premier League teams managed fewer than 40 goals last season and these two were both amongst that group, but it has been a completely different tale this time around.

The three goals that Palace scored against Man United were more than they managed in a single fixture in all of the 2019-20 campaign, whilst Brighton’s impressive tally of eight goals this term is bettered by only six sides.

Given that Roy Hodgson’s side have shipped nine goals in their last three games, the Seagulls will have plenty of confidence that they can continue their good form in front of goal.

Crystal Palace vs Brighton Tips and Predictions

Brighton are yet to fully reap the rewards of their goalscoring prowess this season and they should be afforded plenty of chances against a struggling and depleted Palace defence.

With that in mind, the 13/8 (2.63) price on the Seagulls to score over 1.5 goals with bet365 offers significant odds-against value for this clash at Selhurst Park.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Foxes and the Villans are the top-scoring teams in the Premier League this season and our tipster is backing plenty of action at the King Power

Aston Villa are looking to maintain their 100 per cent record when they visit Leicester City in the Premier League on Sunday evening.

The Villans have won all three of their games in the 2020-21 season with a 7-2 victory over champions Liverpool no doubt the highlight.

Leicester also have nine points but from four fixtures, and the Foxes will be determined to bounce back after a 3-0 home defeat by West Ham in their last game before the international break.

Leicester City vs Aston Villa Latest Odds

Leicester won 11 of their 19 home games in the Premier League last season and bet365 make them 5/6 (1.83) favourites to hand Villa their first defeat of this campaign.

Villa’s 3-0 win at Fulham in September was just their second away victory in 2020 and they are priced as 31/10 (4.10) outsiders to move onto 12 points this season.

These two sides played out a 1-1 draw in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup in January and another stalemate can be backed at 14/5 (3.80).

Leicester City vs Aston Villa Team News

Wilfred Ndidi, Daniel Amartey and Ricardo Pereira are all definitely out for Leicester, whilst James Maddison, Dennis Praet and Filip Benkovic are unlikely to feature.

Dean Smith will be without Wesley for the trip to the King Power Stadium, with Kortney Hause, Bjorn Engels and Tom Heaton remain doubtful.

Leicester City vs Aston Villa Preview

Aston Villa’s start to the season has been nothing short of incredible, with three consecutive wins more than they managed in all of last term.

Their total of 12 strikes is already 30% of the goals they managed last season and that new-found potency should serve them well against a Leicester side that have conceded seven times in their last three.

Going forward the Foxes have had no such problems, though, also netting 12 times this term including five in a thrashing of Manchester City in September.

Leicester City vs Aston Villa Tips and Predictions

The glut of goals scored by both these sides should point to another entertaining fixture on Sunday evening and the 2.025 price on over 3.0 goals on the Asian goal line looks the way to go here.

This bet will pay out if more than three goals are scored whilst the stake will be returned should there be exactly three.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With both teams in prolific form this season, Al Hain-Cole expects plenty of goalmouth action when Bale makes his Spurs debut against Moyes' men

Tottenham and West Ham will both be full of confidence when they meet at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in Sunday’s Premier League clash.

Click Here: Sao Paulo soccer tracksuit

Spurs ran out handsome 6-1 winners over Manchester United in their last match before the international break, having put seven goals past Maccabi Haifa in the Europa League in their previous fixture.

Tottenham vs West Ham Latest Odds

Having won four of their last five fixtures against this opposition, Jose Mourinho’s side are 4/7 (1.57) favourites with bet365 to come out on top once again here.

However, David Moyes’ men pulled off impressive 4-0 and 3-0 wins over Wolves and Leicester City in their last two league matches, and can be backed at 19/4 (5.75) to collect maximum points once again.

The hosts were held to a 1-1 draw by Newcastle in their previous home game, and there are odds of 16/5 (4.20) on them being forced to settle for a single point once again.

Tottenham vs West Ham Team News

Gareth Bale could be set for his debut after joining full training over the international break, although Eric Dier, Japhet Tanganga, Giovani Lo Celso and Steven Bergwijn are all doubtful.

Ryan Fredericks and Arthur Masuaku both injury doubts but Issa Diop is available following his coronavirus self-isolation, and new signing Craig Dawson will provide further defensive options.

Tottenham vs West Ham Preview

Mourinho’s team has been in prolific form since the frustrating 1-0 home defeat against Everton on opening day, scoring 25 times in just seven fixtures at an average of over three per game.

On the other hand, they are still awaiting a first clean sheet of the campaign and must now face a Hammers side also enjoying a rich streak – hitting the net 17 times in the last six matches.

Tottenham vs West Ham Tips and Predictions

With both teams missing defensive players and Bale set to make his debut, odds of 10/11 (1.91) look particularly generous on goals going in at each end and over 2.5 being scored on Sunday.

All odds correct at time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Bielsa's men have provided plenty of entertainment so far this campaign, and Al Hain-Cole expects goals at both ends when Wolves visit Elland Road

Leeds United will be looking to maintain their strong start to the season when they welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to Elland Road in Monday’s Premier League clash.

The Whites have taken seven points from the first available 12 since returning to the top flight, playing out a very credible 1-1 draw with Manchester City last time out.

Leeds vs Wolves latest odds

Unbeaten in 11 fixtures on home turf, they are 6/4 (2.50) favourites with bet365 to extend their run with an impressive victory.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s men bounced back from a shock 4-0 defeat at West Ham with a 1-0 win over Fulham before the international break and are priced at 19/10 (2.90) to follow that up by coming out on top here.

None of the last eight encounters between this pair have resulted in draws, but you can get odds of 9/4 (3.25) on them cancelling each other out in this one.

Leeds vs Wolves team news

Marcal should be available once again following injury, leaving Jonny as the only absentee for the guests.

Jack Harrison is available once again after being ineligible to face parent club Manchester City, although Liam Cooper, Diego Llorente, and Pablo Hernandez are all doubtful, while Kiko Casilla, Adam Forshaw and Gaetano Berardi definitely ruled out.

Leeds vs Wolves preview

While Wolves’ form this season has been fairly inconsistent, you know exactly what you’re going to get with Marcelo Bielsa’s team.

The newly-promoted outfit has provided plenty of entertainment so far with their exciting brand of football, scoring nine times while conceding eight in the opening four matches.

They will certainly back themselves to score past a Wolves defence that shipped four goals at West Ham in their last trip, although they may struggle to keep out the threat of Raul Jimenez and Co. at the other end.

Leeds vs Wolves predictions

All in all, odds of 4/5 (1.80) seem generous on both teams getting on target for Leeds’ fifth fixture in six this campaign.

All odds correct at time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
