Both teams have scored in two of Slovakia’s last three internationals and in four of Montenegro’s last six matches.

Both teams have scored in five of Hungary’s last nine matches and although the Finns have been struggling for goals, they can exploit some weaknesses that have cost the hosts in recent games. However, Hungary’s superior quality in midfield and attack should see them grab the win.

Moldova have 11 defeats and no wins in their last 13 games. Bulgaria are in reasonable form with three wins in their last four games and they can come out on top at the Stadionul Zimbru.

Benin have won back-to-back games since taking Egypt to extra-time at AFCON. They face a Niger side on a four-game winless streak so back Benin to edge this friendly on neutral territory in Morocco.

The Czech Republic are gearing up for their first World Cup in 20 years and they should be able to beat Guatemala with plenty of room to spare. Guatemala were hammered 7-0 by Algeria in their last game and the Czechs are capable of putting together big wins over minnows after scoring 10 goals without reply against Gibraltar in two World Cup qualifiers. Back the Czechs to cover a -2 handicap.

Mexico have five wins in their last seven games and have conceded just one goal across that period. Serbia have five defeats in their last eight games and have only scored against Latvia, Saudi Arabia and Andorra during that run. Take the World Cup co-hosts to win without conceding.

It finished 2-2 the last time these nations met in 2022, but Montenegro have been in the doldrums of late and may lack the quality to live with the hosts. Take a 2-1 home win as Slovakia have better players and will want to impress their new haed coach.

Finland beat World Cup-bound New Zealand and held Cape Verde in the FIFA Series earlier this year, so they should be competitive and may escape with a 2-1 defeat in Budapest. Hungary have not scored more than two goals in any of their last 10 matches

Montenegro have been in the doldrums of late and may lack the quality to live with the hosts. Back Slovakia to win and concede as both teams have scored in two of their last three internationals and in four of Montenegro’s last six matches.

Sweden were beaten 3-1 by Scandinavian rivals Norway on Monday but they should find things easier when hosting a less-talented Greece on Thursday. The visitors are without a win in three games and are likely to see that streak extended by the Swedes, who have Alexander Isak fit and firing.

France have not conceded in five of their last six home games. They have won four of those games and have also won eight of their last nine overall. Meanwhile, Ivory Coast have failed to score in two of their three previous matches against France.

Spain haven’t been beaten since losing on penalties to neighbours Portugal in the Nations League final just under a year ago. They should be able to overcome Iraq but this game could be a low scoring one as Iraq conceded just 14 goals in their 21 outings in World Cup qualifying.

Isak’s return means Sweden should score goals, even if Arsenal’s Viktor Gyokeres doesn’t feature having just played in the Champions League final. Graham Potter’s side need to sharpen up in defence if they are to enjoy a solid World Cup and they can make strides towards that by shutting out Greece, who have gone three games without finding the net. As such, we fancy a 2-0 win for Sweden.

France have been machine-like of late and can find a way to win against a resolute and well-organised Elephants side that may lack penetration in a match where they are unlikely to see the lion’s share of possession. Back a 1-0 home win.
