**Germany vs Hungary** Germany and Hungary meet again in their UEFA Nations League Group A3 opener, just two months after their last meeting at EURO 2024, where the Germans won 2-0 to knock Hungary out of the tournament. Germany have struggled in the Nations League, winning just three of their 16 matches (D9, L4). Head coach Julian Nagelsmann will aim to improve that record, but must do so without recently retired stars Thomas Müller, Manuel Neuer, Toni Kroos, and Ilkay Gundogan. Meanwhile, Hungary’s defeat to Germany at the EUROs was their third in the last five matches (W2), a surprising slump considering Marco Rossi’s men went unbeaten in 14 games before that (W9, D5). This worrying trend has prompted the manager to make changes, introducing six new faces to this month’s internationals, with four potentially making their first senior appearance. Hungary have enjoyed a steady rise in this competition since its inception in 2018, securing successive promotions and maintaining their place in League A in the last edition. Notably, that campaign included two impressive away wins: a 4-0 thrashing of England at Wembley and a 1-0 victory over Germany in Leipzig. Therefore, the home side cannot afford to take their visitors lightly. **Bet Prediction: Germany are the far superior team and will be roaring to go after the Euros disappointment. Our bet of the day is a big win for Nagelsmann’s men.**
**Ireland vs England** The Nations League marks the start of a new era for Ireland and England, who have appointed new managers to begin an exciting cycle for both nations. Heimir Hallgrimsson famously led Iceland to victory over England at Euro 2016 and has taken charge of Ireland, aiming to steer them to Nations League success and revive Irish fortunes. His first task is navigating a home game against England, a team Ireland have historically struggled to beat (D6, L1). With most of their recent wins coming against lower-ranked teams like Malta, Gibraltar, and Armenia (W6, D2, L10), a statement win against the Three Lions would be a perfect start to Hallgrimsson’s tenure. England are also starting a new era under interim boss Lee Carsley, who replaced Gareth Southgate after the defeat to Spain in the EURO 2024 final. Carsley managed the England U21 side and has playing experience, racking up 40 caps for Ireland. England are in League B, no thanks to a disappointing League A campaign in 2022/23. However, given their FIFA ranking (#4), talent pool and significant superiority to other Group B2 teams, the Three Lions should make a swift return to League A. **Bet Prediction: England might be missing big names like Phil Foden, Jude Bellingham and Cole Palmer, but they should still have enough to take all three points here.**
**Portugal vs Scotland** Portugal got off to a perfect start in their UEFA Nations League campaign with a 2-1 win over Croatia on matchday one. Goals from Diogo Dalot and the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo (his 900th official goal) kept the 2019 winners in the running to replicate their success, having failed to reach the final in any of the four editions since. Roberto Martinez’s men now take on Scotland, the lowest-ranked team in League A, providing them with the perfect opportunity to open their campaign with two successive victories. Recent form may be patchy but there is no denying the depth of quality in this Portugal squad. Their run before the EUROs saw them lose just once in 13 games, and on their day, especially at home, it’s hard to bet against them. Scotland, on the other hand, suffered a cruel defeat in their Nations League opener against Poland, as two spot-kicks - including a 97th-minute goal led to a 3-2 defeat. It was a harsh welcome to League A for Scotland, whose fans must be struggling to find optimism after watching their seeing their side win just one of their last 13 internationals (D4, L8). That win came against UEFA’s third-lowest FIFA-ranked side, Gibraltar, and defeating a Portugal side they haven’t beaten since 1980 might be a tall order. **Bet prediction: Scotland have failed to score in 3 of their last 5 away games and we expect that to continue here. The hosts have too much firepower and our full time prediction is a Portugal win.**
**Poland vs Croatia** Poland are rebuilding after a disappointing Euro 2024, and what better way to start than with a last-minute opening win against Scotland away from home? Robert Lewandowski was heavily involved, setting up the opener and scoring the second from the spot before leaving the field with 20 minutes left. A 97th-minute penalty, expertly dispatched by Roma midfielder Nicola Zalewski, gave Michal Probierz’ men an excellent start, and they will be looking to build on that momentum. Croatia, on the other hand, started their Nations League campaign with a 2-1 defeat to Portugal. Despite matching their opponents for long stretches, their lack of pace in attack and any real firepower, with Luka Modric stationed behind Andrej Kramaric in a rigid 4-4-1-1, made it easy for the Portugal defence to cope. They will be eager to make amends quickly but must create more chances, as their run of three goals in their last four games (D2, L2) is worrying. **Bet Prediction: Both nations have only ever met three times, with two wins apiece and a draw. Notably, none of the games have featured more than one goal.** **You can get the best odds by backing a low-scoring affair here.**
**Israel vs Italy** Israel will participate in their first-ever Nations League A campaign, having earned promotion from Group B2 by going undefeated in their four matches (W2, D2). However, success at this level might be harder to come by, especially against Italy, whom they have never beaten in five previous meetings (L5). Furthermore, Israel has won just two of their last ten games, and without any real home support - as this game will be played in Budapest - it’s hard to back them here. Italy, on the other hand, will be desperate to make the most of what should be their easiest fixture on paper and restore some pride after a disappointing Euro 2024, where they crashed out in the last 16. Luciano Spalletti is yet to fully convince, but the Nations League is a tournament where they’ve historically performed well, losing just two of 16 matches in the league phase. A positive result against France before traveling to Budapest means there’s some wiggle room. However, their record of just two wins from their last nine away fixtures means nothing can be taken for granted. **Bet prediction: Italy may have struggled in recent times, but Israel have been worse. There is talent in this Italy side and our full time prediction is a narrow win.**
**Switzerland vs Spain** The second round of UEFA Nations League features Switzerland taking on European champions Spain in what promises to be an exciting affair. The Swiss suffered a 2-0 defeat to Denmark in their opener, and they’ll need to be at their absolute best to get a positive result against this all-conquering Spain side. Their record in this fixture certainly leaves little room for positivity, with just two wins in their previous 25 meetings (D5, L18). However, there is a glimmer of hope, as Switzerland came out on top in their last meeting, winning 2-1 to end the Spaniards’ unbeaten run in 2023. Defending champions Spain have become accustomed to winning in recent times, boasting an impressive nine victories from an 11-game unbeaten run (D2), including their historic UEFA Euro 2024 Championship finals win over England. Their ability to score goals has been a key factor in this success, but surprisingly, they failed to find the net in a goalless draw against Serbia on Thursday, ending a streak of 15 consecutive competitive fixtures with at least one goal. However, Spain’s strength goes beyond their attack. They are currently on an eight-game unbeaten streak on foreign soil (W7, D1) and have not conceded more than one goal in a single competitive game since March 2023. **Bet Prediction: Spain have failed to score just once in 25 games against Switzerland, and after their goalless affair against Serbia, they will be itching to put things right.** **We are backing Spain to win as part of our daily bet tips, and that’s a pick that could offer you good value.**
**France vs Belgium** France are perennial favorites for every competition these days, and they will be aiming to make amends for their semi-final defeat at EURO 2024 with a strong showing in the Nations League. They opened their campaign with a home loss against Italy and will now face Belgium at the Decines-Charpeiu stadium in Lyon. Kylian Mbappe, who has three goals in five games for Real Madrid, will be relied upon once again to provide the firepower for Les Bleus, and the addition of Michael Olise to the squad is a welcome development. Although their form in this competition has been disappointing, with just one win in six UNL games since 2021, Didier Deschamps’ men will feel confident going into this one, having lost only once to Belgium in their last seven meetings. Meanwhile, Belgium were disappointing at the last Euros, despite the pool of talent available to coach Domenico Tedesco. Failure after failure at international tournaments has severely dampened the hype surrounding Belgian teams, but they will look to set things right in the Nations League. The last time Belgium faced France, at Euro 2024, they fell to a 1-0 defeat, and their recent form has been mediocre (W2, D3, L2). They will need to improve to get a result against a strong French team. **Bet prediction: This should be a tight, low-scoring game, following the trend of recent meetings. France are at home and have Mbappe, who could make the difference. Full time prediction: France win .**
