UEFA Nations League Predictions

Almere have won five of their last six games and have scored three or more goals in four of those victories. They face a struggling Dordrecht who head into this tie having lost five on the spin, conceding a massive 18 goals in this period.

Sweden were humbled in the World Cup, but they should have more success against a Romania side winless in their last six away games. They have lost four of these, but they should find the net against a Sweden side without a clean sheet in 15 attempts.

Italy have won nine of their last 11 games and can start their UEFA Nations League campaign with a win over a Belgium side that have lost four and drawn one of their last five meetings with Friday’s hosts.

Hungary are on a four-game unbeaten streak across all games and they’ve won their last two on home soil. Hungary can make the most of their home advantage and claim three points against Ukraine, who are in mixed form with two defeats in their last four.

Montenegro’s home results have generally been fairly impressive as they won two and lost two at home during World Cup qualifying. The hosts have never lost to Cyprus and have won the last two head-to-head meetings, they can claim maximum points on Friday.

Both teams have scored in five of Girona’s six Segunda Division games, but they have won three of their last four and should have the beating of Albacete, who have picked up just one point from a possible 18 this season.
