Kosovo won 4-0 in their visit to Cyprus last month and they were 2-1 victors away to Lithuania over the weekend.

Scotland have lost five of their last six matches, but they’ve scored in four of those defeats. The hosts have scored in a defeat in each of their previous three games, including a 2-1 loss in Portugal. Meanwhile, Portugal have won all three of their games since Euro 2024, conceding in each.

Switzerland have lost all three of their games since Euro 2024 in convincing fashion. They were beaten 2-0 by both Denmark and Serbia, while they lost 4-1 at home to 10-man Spain last month. The Danes have won two of their first three games in this group and they held out for 78 minutes in a 1-0 loss at Spain on Saturday.

Poland have seen both teams score in seven of their last eight games, including all three of their clashes at Euro 2024. They meet a Croatian side who have had BTTS land in four of their last five, with the visitors heading into this with confidence following consecutive victories.

The visitors may have disappointed in Germany in the summer, but they have begun the 2024/25 UEFA Nations League campaign with a perfect record of three wins from three. The Selecao have won their last four meetings with Scotland and can claim another three points on Tuesday.

The Shrews have drawn one and lost three of their last four competitive home games and face an Exeter City side that have won five of their last seven in all competitions. They have beaten Bolton and Leyton Orient on the road this term and Paul Hurst’s side could be their latest victim as they look to break into the play-off positions.

The visiting Gunners are unbeaten in ten competitive games this season and have won seven of those. They won both meetings with the Cherries last season to make it five wins in a row against these opponents, so back them to continue their title charge on Saturday evening.

Gary O’Neil looks on the brink of getting the sack and his chances of remaining in a job will not be helped by the visit of Manchester City on Sunday, with the hosts sitting rock-bottom of the Premier League having lost six and drawn one of their seven league assignments this term.Manchester City have had a few slip-ups this season, but they are yet to lose this term and their failures to win have come against much stronger opposition than Wolves. Pep Guardiola’s side hammered Wolves 5-1 in their last meeting in May, and I would not rule out a similar scoreline at Molineux on Sunday.

Razvan Marin scored from the spot against Lithuania last month and followed that with another penalty goal against Cyprus last time out, meaning he has scored in five of his last seven appearances for club and country.

Real Madrid clinched a record-extending 15th Champions League trophy at Wembley last season and they look good value to make it 16 in Munich next year.

They have won 15 of their 18 appearances in the final and have won six of the last 11 instalments, with their last defeat in the final of this competition coming back in 1981 against Liverpool.

Los Blancos’ storied history in this competition would have put them among my favourites for the trophy even before their business in the summer, but the transfer window has been kind to them and they head into the 2024/25 campaign with arguably the best squad in the world.

The world-class talents of Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior remain instrumental to Carlo Ancelotti’s side, but the arrival of arguably the world’s best player in Kylian Mbappe could send them stratospheric.

As if that wasn’t enough, teenage sensation Endrick has also arrived in the Spanish capital and scored on his home debut against Real Valladolid.

Led by a manager who has won the Champions League a record five times with two separate teams, it would take a brave man to oppose Real Madrid.

Athletic won the Copa del Rey last term and they’re seen as the strongest Spanish side in the competition. With eight of the last 11 seasons seeing a Spanish winner of the Europa League, Athletic are standout value at 12/1.

Copenhagen made the Champions League last 16 earlier this year, making it through a group that contained Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Galatasaray. They finished four points off the Danish title in May and slipped into the Conference League as a result, where the change in format offers them a path to glory. After a decent summer transfer window and a strong domestic start, Copenhagen can make an impact in a competition which has a vulnerable trio of favourites.
