Northern Ireland won 3-0 as the away side against Ukraine in the last batch of Nations League fixtures and they look well placed to do the double over Andrea Maldera’s troops at Windsor Park. Northern Ireland have an excellent home record with nine wins in their last 13, they are yet to concede in the Nations League and are facing a Ukraine team who have suffered back-to-back losses.

The reverse fixture finished 1-1 in October but on the balance of play Sweden were incredibly unfortunate not to claim all three points. With home advantage, the Swedes should dominate again and they can cover a -1 handicap. Sweden have scored more than once in each of their last four home fixtures and Bosnia’s last two losses have come by more than one goal.

Austria are unbeaten in the Nations League and are on a six-game winning streak on home soil and they should be able to make home advantage count against Ireland, but a clean sheet looks beyond the hosts. Austria have conceded in all four of their Nations League games and Ireland struck twice in the reverse fixture, a 2-2 draw. Ireland have scored in six of their last seven and can strike in defeat in Linz.

Helmond Sport have lost all six Eerste Divisie away games this season but they have netted in five of those, scoring a total of nine goals. Almere City have won four of their six at home but conceded three goals in their most recent home fixture.

Blackpool are the best bet to win at AFC Wimbledon on Saturday. The hosts are out of form and Blackpool can take advantage. AFC Wimbledon are struggling to get results, having gone seven League One games without recording a victory. They have lost four of their last five matches and it is now three games since they last won at home in the league.

Bristol Rovers look worth backing to take advantage of Chesterfield’s poor away form on Saturday. The visitors are winless in four consecutive League Two road games and have lost four of their last six. They have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 16 of their last 19 league matches, leaving them vulnerable against the hosts.

FC Volendam have lost six of their eight away games this season and face a Roda JC side yet to lose at home this season, winning five of their seven fixtures.

Inverness CT lost 5-1 in their last away game and have conceded two or more in three of their last four on the road, while Partick Thistle have scored twice or more in each of their last three at home.

Inter Bogota are underdogs for this tie but they have won three of their last four home games and beat Santa Fe here last season. The visitors are on a three-game losing streak away from home.

Blackpool are the best bet to win at AFC Wimbledon on Saturday. The hosts are out of form and Blackpool can take advantage. AFC Wimbledon are struggling to get results, having gone seven League One games without recording a victory. They have lost four of their last five matches and it is now three games since they last won at home in the league.

Exeter are unbeaten at home across all competitions this season and have won their last three in the league. They are facing a Cheltenham side who have four defeats and no wins in their last five away from home, and have just five points to show from their seven trips so far.

Goals at both ends has been a regular occurrence in Fleetwood’s recent games as both teams have scored in each of their last five, while both teams have scored in six of Tranmere’s last nine games. Fleetwood have scored in 12 of their 13 home games this season and Tranmere have scored in each of their last three league trips so goals at both ends looks likely.

Crewe look well placed to continue their impressive home form against Newport. The hosts are unbeaten in all seven League Two matches on their own turf this season and have lost just one of their last ten at home. Newport, meanwhile, are winless in seven away games this term and have failed to win nine of their last ten on the road.

Sweden hit three in a 3-1 success over Poland in their last home game and a repeat result has a chance here. Bosnia didn’t offer a great deal in attack in the reverse fixture but still managed to get on the scoresheet, while Sweden have just one clean sheet in their last 19 games.

A narrow home victory appeals, with Port Vale winning three of their last four League Two home games by a 1-0 scoreline. The hosts have also kept four clean sheets in their last five at home, while six of Accrington’s last eight league matches have produced fewer than three goals. Another 1-0 Port Vale victory looks a decent correct-score option.

Inverness CT lost 5-1 in their last away game and have conceded two or more in three of their last four on the road, while Partick Thistle have scored twice or more in each of their last three at home.

Goals at both ends are predicted and with home advantage Norway should be able to outgun Wales. Norway have won six games in 2026 and have scored at least three goals in four of those victories so a 3-1 home win has a chance.

Portugal have lost just one of their last 14 internationals and should be able to come out on top of a high-scoring Nations League clash with Denmark on Saturday.

Both teams have scored in Norway’s last 12 games and that pattern is expected to continue when they entertain Wales. The visitors won the reverse fixture 2-1 in a game where both teams scored in the first half so Craig Bellamy’s side are capable of hurting their hosts, even if they have failed to score in their other three group games.

The best bet is both teams to score when Wigan host Barnsley in League One on Saturday. The visitors have struggled at the back this season and there should be goals for both sides. Nine of Barnsley’s 12 matches in the league this season have seen both teams score, and there has been goals for both sides in five of the last seven League One meetings between Barnsley and Wigan.

Both teams to score looks the standout bet when Rochdale host York. Both sides have found the net in ten of York’s 14 League Two games this season, including five of their last six. Rochdale have scored at least twice in three of their last four matches, while York have failed to keep a clean sheet in all seven away games this term.

Austria are unbeaten in the Nations League and are on a six-game winning streak on home soil and they should be able to make home advantage count against Ireland, but a clean sheet looks beyond the hosts. Austria have conceded in all four of their Nations League games and Ireland struck twice in the reverse fixture, a 2-2 draw. Ireland have scored in six of their last seven and can strike in defeat in Linz.

Georgia have not scored a goal in their four Nations League games this season and it is difficult to see them making much headway against Hungary on Saturday. The Magyars look to have settled into the campaign in their last two matches, which included a 1-0 win over the Georgians and a 2-1 success over Ukraine when they gained revenge for a bad-tempered opening 2-1 defeat in Budapest. Georgia’s four matches have featured just two goals, but their issues are not solely centred on their exploits in this competition. Having made progress in recent years, they won just one of their six World Cup qualifiers and are drastically hampered by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia suffering a knee injury which will keep their star player out of action for the rest of the season.

Portugal have already qualified for the Nations League quarter-finals, thanks to four straight Group A4 victories including a 4-2 win in Denmark. Manager Jorge Jesus will demand a strong finish to the section from Portugal, whose record goalscorer Cristiano Ronaldo has retired from international duty. They beat a powerful Norway side 2-1 at home and away and should be backed for a high-scoring home victory over Denmark this weekend. The Danes conceded eight goals in the final four matches of their unsuccessful World Cup qualifying campaign and lost 3-2 in Norway on matchday one of the Nations League.

A pair of cup victories will have lifted the mood at Colchester, although it is hard to believe Danny Cowley’s men are suddenly back after wins over seventh-tier Worcester and Ipswich’s under-21s. Colchester have struggled against teams their own size, going ten games without a win in League Two, and that miserable league run is set to continue when Gillingham head to Essex. Gareth Ainsworth’s tough-to-beat Gills have lost only three of their last 13 League Two matches and have won three of their last four on the road, making them a nice price in the double-chance market against the second-bottom U’s.

It’s five wins on the spin in all competitions and eight in ten matches for MK Dons, who are finally getting to grips with League One football. Paul Warne’s Dons have won four of their last five league matches after a nine-game winless streak at the start of the season, and they can continue their surge up the third tier at the expense of Burton on Saturday. The Brewers have lost four of their seven league games on the road and the expected-goals models rate them as one of the poorest sides in the third tier, whereas Milton Keynes are performing like playoff contenders.

Crewe have gone three games without a win in the league but last week’s 2-1 FA Cup success over League One Wimbledon should have lifted the mood at Gresty Road. The Alex’s struggles have largely come on the road and they remain unbeaten at home in League Two, with 13 points from seven games. They’ve only lost once at this venue all season and that defeat came in an EFL Trophy game. Visitors Newport sit 10 places below the Railwaymen in the table but they’re only four points further back in a congested division, but their away form will be a concern. The Exiles are winless on their travels in League Two with four defeats in seven trips so Crewe look good value to claim all three points at an odds-against price.

Northern Ireland hammered Ukraine 3-0 on neutral soil last month and, while a repeat of that level of dominance appears unlikely, the Green and White Army should claim the three points in Belfast. They have picked up eight points from four games and face a Ukraine side that have claimed only one point in their last three games.

Hungary look to be growing into the Nations League following two straight victories and can asee off Georgia who are struggling to find the net.

Poland have been inconsistent lately, but they should have enough to see off Romania, who have lost all four of their Nations League games this season.

Austria are unbeaten in the Nations League and are on a six-game winning streak on home soil and they should be able to make home advantage count against Ireland, but a clean sheet looks beyond the hosts. Austria have conceded in all four of their Nations League games and Ireland struck twice in the reverse fixture, a 2-2 draw. Ireland have scored in six of their last seven and can strike in defeat in Linz.

Northern Ireland won 3-0 as the away side against Ukraine in the last batch of Nations League fixtures and they look well placed to do the double over Andrea Maldera’s troops at Windsor Park. Northern Ireland have an excellent home record with nine wins in their last 13, they are yet to concede in the Nations League and are facing a Ukraine team who have suffered back-to-back losses.

Hungary look to be growing into the Nations League following two straight victories and can asee off Georgia who are struggling to find the net.

Viktor Gyokeres has struggled for game time at Arsenal this season but he remains the main man in the Swedish attack, despite Alexander Isak’s presence. Gyokeres scored in all four of his side’s games in the last batch of Nations League games and can extend that streak on Saturday.

Troy Parrott scored both of Ireland’s goals in the reverse fixture and has four strikes in total in as many games in the Nations League.

Fleetwood’s Ronan Coughlan has five goals in his last eight games across all competitions and he can add to his haul against Tranmere on Saturday.

Austria are unbeaten in the Nations League and are on a six-game winning streak on home soil and they should be able to make home advantage count against Ireland, but a clean sheet looks beyond the hosts. Austria have conceded in all four of their Nations League games and Ireland struck twice in the reverse fixture, a 2-2 draw. Ireland have scored in six of their last seven and can strike in defeat in Linz.

Helmond Sport have lost all six Eerste Divisie away games this season but they have netted in five of those, scoring a total of nine goals. Almere City have won four of their six at home but conceded three goals in their most recent home fixture.

Turkey have lost all four Nations League ties and shipped three without reply when they met Belgium just over a month ago. They have conceded 11 goals in this run, while the Red Devils also beat Italy in the season’s first international break.

Czechia have conceded ten goals across four UEFA Nations League ties and were 3-1 losers in Oviedo at the start of October. Three of their four games have gone over 2.5 goals, while Spain’s four games have produced a total of 17 goals.

North Macedonia are yet to find the net after four UEFA Nations League ties and they have managed just one shot on target across this period. They lost 2-0 to Scotland in Skopje and each of the Tartan Army’s last three wins has been to nil.

Both teams have scored in all four of the Netherlands’ Nations League games, including a 2-2 thriller away to Greece last month. Greece did follow that with a goalless draw against Germany, but they found the net in all three Nations League games prior to that.

Iceland were deserved 3-0 winners over Bulgaria when they met in Reykjavik last month and they look good value to inflict a third Nations League defeat on their hosts on Friday. Bulgaria lost at home to Luxembourg in September and the favourites have taken eight points from a possible 12 this campaign.

Cheltenham may be up in fifth in the League Two standings but they have just one point from their last four away games and may fall foul of an Exeter side in excellent form. The Grecians have won three of their last four matches and are yet to lose at home this season, so back them for the points.

Just one point separates these two sides in the lower reaches of the League One table but it is 19th-placed Blackpool in the better form. They have lost just one of their last five, while the Dons’ winless run was extended to ten games in their 2-1 loss at Crewe.

Sheffield Wednesday are 6/5 favourites on Saturday afternoon but their extra-time defeat to Sheffield Wednesday in the weekend’s FA Cup tie left them without a win in five attempts. They have dropped points in four of their last five home league games and Plymouth have only lost one of their last six away fixtures.

Stockport are on the charge in League One and can live up to their favouritism against Reading on Saturday. The Hatters have won their last four home games by an aggregate scoreline of 7-2 and come up against a Reading side without a goal in their last three away days in the third tier.

Wigan are slowly recovering from a dreadful start to the season and, with two wins and a draw from their last three games, they can build up some momentum against the poor-travelling Barnsley. The Tykes have lost their last four away games and conceded 11 goals in the process and their last win on the road came in August.
