The Swiss have won 13 of their last 20 matches, and they should prove too strong for a Scotland side that made a meek World Cup exit. However, BTTS has landed in the hosts’ last four competitive games at Hampden, and in nine of Switzerland’s last 13 outings.

High-flying AFC Fylde have won three of their last four games and with home advantage they can see off stuttering Carlisle, who are winless in five (D2, L3). The visitors have scored in nine of their 10 games this season and can strike in defeat.

Over 3.5 goals have been scored in three of Forest Green’s last four games and in four of Wealdstone’s last six. Both attacks should be able to contribute and these sides can combine for at least four goals.

Halifax have scored in all of their home games and visitors Boston are yet to draw a blank on their travels. These in-form attacks should both be able to get on the scoresheet.

National League leaders Boreham Wood have won eight of their 10 matches this season, and they’ve put together a three-game winning streak at home. However, they’ve conceded in each of their home matches so far.

Wales have lost their opening two games of this international break without scoring, with injury issues hampering Craig Bellamy’s side. Norway suffered a 2-1 home defeat against Portugal on Sunday, but they created the majority of chances. They face an easier test in Cardiff, and they should be able to return to winning ways.

Austria claimed 3-1 wins over Israel and Kosovo in Vienna, and they look like the strongest side in this Nations League group by a distance. The visitors have scored three times in four of their previous six matches, and they should prove too strong for this Irish side.

After snapping their winless run with a victory over Real Salt Lake, the Seattle Sounders claimed a 3-1 victory over Minnesota United last weekend. Sporting KC have lost 17 of their 26 matches this term, and they’ve conceded three or more in eight of their 10 away defeats.

Bohemians have won four straight matches to move within a point of top spot in the League of Ireland. Dundalk have lost four of their last six league games, and they’ve suffered three straight defeats at home. The Bohs have won nine of 15 away trips this season, including a 3-1 victory at Dundalk.

Albacete’s loss at Girona on Friday was their sixth in seven matches this season. Albacete have lost all three home matches so far, while they were beaten 3-0 in this fixture back in April. Eibar have made a perfect start on their travels this term with three wins, and they can ease to another victory on Saturday afternoon.

Bulgaria have won just three of their last 16 games and lost at home to Luxembourg in their Nations League opener. Estonia have lost just one of their last five and can claim at least a point against their out of sorts hosts.

With Czech Republic on a four-match winless run and still getting used to new manager Santi Denia’s ideas, it is hard to see them stopping World Cup bronze medallists England from picking up three points in Prague. This pair’s Nations League openers produced a combined eight goals, so expect the net to bulge at least three times, too.

Over 3.5 goals have been scored in three of Forest Green’s last four games and in four of Wealdstone’s last six. Both attacks should be able to contribute and these sides can combine for at least four goals.

AFC Fylde have scored 21 goals in 10 league games this season and Carlisle have hit a respectable 18 themselves. Both teams gave scored in 90% of the visitors games this season so goals at both ends could be on the cards.

Luxembourg have won four of their five matches this year, including victories in Albania and Bulgaria in their previous two matches.

Both teams scored in the two meetings between these sides in 2023, and Iceland have seen both teams score in seven of their last eight Nations League games. Luxembourg have scored two or more in three of their five matches in 2026, and they can secure a 2-1 victory.

Only two of Slovenia’s last nine matches have featured more than two goals, while North Macedonia have conceded 18 goals across their last four defeats. The hosts don’t have the firepower to match those rampant wins, so back a 2-0 victory for Slovenia.

Ndoye recorded 0.76 Expected Goals without scoring against North Macedonia. The Nottingham Forest winger scored at Anfield earlier this season, while he found the net against Argentina and Algeria in the World Cup over the summer.

Anthony Gordon netted England’s equaliser against Spain and having also bagged the Three Lions’ opener in their semi-final defeat to Argentina at the World Cup, he rates the standout scorer pick. The Barcelona star has bags of pace and that should come in handy against veteran right-back Vladimir Coufal.

Croatia may have beaten the Czech Republic 2-1 in their first game of Slaven Bilic’s reign but Spain is a huge step up on those opponents and La Roja have kept seven clean sheets in their last nine games.

Slovenia are aiming to build on their 0-0 draw with Scotland at the weekend, and they meet a North Macedonia side that has lost four of their previous six. The visitors have failed to score in five straight games, and a solid Slovenian defence can shut them out on their way to victory.

Monaco have spent the last couple of seasons in the Champions League, losing 5-4 on aggregate to PSG in last season’s knockouts.

They’ve appointed former Flamengo boss Filipe Luiz as their new manager, and the former Chelsea defender has an impressive track record. He led the Brazilian side to their domestic title, and brought continental success in the Copa Libertadores.

Strasbourg reached the last four of the Conference League last term, and this Monaco side are capable of going even further under a highly-rated young manager.

City aren’t quite right yet under Enzo Maresca. They may well come good but Lens away was arguably the worst road trip from Pot 4 while Napoli and Leipzig represent stern tests from Pot 3. And then there’s PSG and Barcelona. Altogether a tough test.

The home game against Bodo/Glimt and trip to Slavia ought to be the bedrock of a campaign in which Dino Toppmoller’s impressive group – who have already beaten PSG in the French Champions Trophy – can emerge successfully.

Barcelona could easily lose in Paris, legitimately drop points at Galatasaray and at home to Man City. One more slip and the top eight could feasibly elude them.

Arsenal were flawless 12 months ago and should have no difficulty getting to the 16 points which are probably required.

BVB came close to the top eight last season and have a great draw this year with Betis, AEK Athens, Sabah and even Inter Milan at home looks winnable.

PSV’s hammerings of Napoli and Liverpool last term were rare highs in an otherwise disappointing campaign. This season’s draw looks far kindlier for Peter Bosz and his Eredivisie big-hitters.
