Wales vs Norway: Player will score and his team will win – Erling Haaland @ 1.77<\/b><\/h2>\n

We are witnessing something truly extraordinary with Haaland\u2019s output on the internatioanl stage. The Manchester City striker has scored 65 goals in 57 appearances for Norway, a record which makes you look twice out of footballing bewilderment. Haaland has scored in 18 of his last 20 competitive internationals, with the Scandinavian outfit going on to win 17 of those matches – the only blemish being the 2-1 defeat to Portugal last Sunday. But we expect normal Haaland-themed service to resume on Thursday evening in Cardiff against a Wales team which suffered consecutive losses vs Portugal (1-0) and Denmark (2-0).<\/span><\/p>\n

Portugal to beat Denmark @ 2.00<\/b><\/h2>\n

Portugal have got off to a great start under the leadership of Jorge Jesus, with back-to-back victories recorded against Wales (1-0) and Norway (1-2). Joao Felix has been the go-to man for the new manager so far in this round of Nations League fixtures, the Al-Nassr forward scoring in both games. Denmark responded to their 3-2 loss in Norway with the confidence-boosting 2-0 victory over Wales in Copenhagen, but it will be hard to repeat that feat against the Portuguese, who lost just one of their last 11 games in UEFA competition. If you fancy a similar selection to the one above, the in-form Felix to score and Portugal to win is at healthy odds of 4.60!<\/span><\/p>\n

Greece vs Netherlands: Draw no bet – Greece @ 2.36<\/b><\/h2>\n

It is the start of an exciting new era for Greek football courtesy of a hugely talented crop of young players, including Arsenal star Christos Tzolis. And the Greeks have really lived up to expectations at the start of this Nations League campaign thanks to consecutive away wins over Serbia (1-2) and – more impressively – Germany (0-1). Now it is a return to home soil for a match against Netherlands, who drew 1-1 with Germany before winning 2-1 in Serbia. The Dutch have yet to really click into gear under Xavi Hernandez and are now missing key attacker Cody Gakpo due to injury. As such, siding with the hosts could be the shrewd betting move to make here – with this pick seeing your stake returned to you in the event of a draw.<\/span><\/p>\n

France to beat Italy and both teams to score – No @ 2.62<\/b><\/h2>\n

France collected back-to-back 1-0 wins over Turkey and Belgium from Zinedine Zidane\u2019s first matches in the managerial hot-seat. Even without injured duo William Saliba and Ibrahima Konate, Les Bleus look strong as a defensive unit, with Liverpool ace Jeremy Jacquet one of the standout performers in this international break. After losing 2-0 at home to Belgium, Roberto Mancini\u2019s Italy secured a vital 4-1 victory in Turkey on Monday evening. So things are looking up for the wounded Azzurri, but achieving a positive result in France is a significant step to take so quickly. With that in mind, we are backing Zidane\u2019s boys to continue the trend of winning and keeping a clean sheet.<\/span><\/p>\n
