We've picked out five bets for Friday night's 2026 World Cup qualifying action, including a 5/1 anytime goalscorer shout.
19:45 Friday - Denmark vs Scotland
Scott McTominay - Anytime Goalscorer (0.5pts) - Best price 21/4 with AK Bets, Priced Up Bet, Star Sports, and BresBet
Serie A's player of the season for 2025, Scott McTominay, is thriving since swapping Manchester for Naples. Playing in a more advanced midfield role for club and country has seen him regularly amongst the goals for the Tartan Army and Napoli.
McTominay has 11 goals in his last 19 competitive internationals, and has already got on the scoreboard for the season in Serie A. The 28-year-old is one of Scotland's greatest attacking threats and if they are to score tonight in Copenhagen, many will assume that McTominay will be the man striking the blow. 5/1 and above to score looks overpriced for a player who is in the form of his life. I'd play this down to 4/1.
19:45 Italy vs Israel
Sandro Tonali - Over 0.5 Shots on Target vs Estonia (2pts) - Best price 23/20 with Bet MGM & Virgin Bet
Whilst Tonali may not be hitting the target with regularity in the black and white of Newcastle, for his national team it's a different story. He has six shots on target in his last nine competitive appearances for Italy, including two goals in those matches.
Betfred
- Huge range of regular promotions
- 24/7 live chat service
- PickYourPunt builder for custom bets
Getting over even money with Bet MGM seems a strong play, considering that this same bet is currently priced 4/9 with Bet365. In their latest competitive away match, lowly Estonia conceded 11 shots on target vs Israel.
19:45 Moldova vs Israel
Israel to Score 2+ Goals vs Moldova (1.5pts) - Best Price 10/13 with Bet Goodwin (8/11 widely available)
Israel travel to Moldova in a must win game if they have aspirations of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup. Since 2021, Moldova have conceded 2+ goals in 71% of matches against teams ranked inside the world top 100, and Israel scored 2+ goals in both head-to-head meetings back in 2021. Look for Israel to cruise to victory in a pivotal game.
19:45 Switzerland vs Kosovo
Dan Ndoye Anytime Goalscorer (1pt) - Best Price 23/10 with Coral/Ladbrokes/William Hill
Switzerland forward Dan Ndoye enjoyed a dream start to his Nottingham Forest career, scoring on his debut against Brentford and then assisting a Callum Hudson-Odoi the next week. Ndoye has proved his quality in recent seasons at Bologna and for his national side.
Switzerland have been finding the net for fun in recent games, scoring 2+ goals in five of their last seven. Dan Ndoye found the back of the net in both of their June friendlies (4-0 win vs USA & 4-2 win vs Mexico). In what looks to be a cagey game between Switzerland and Kosovo, I like Ndoye at 2/1 and greater to prove himself as the standout attacker on the field and make it three consecutive games with a goal.
19:45 Ukraine vs France
Ukraine vs France - Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals - Best price 6/4 with Sky Bet
This game looks perfectly poised for goals, especially from the French end. A stacked attack comprimising of Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele, and Michael Olise (+ more), look certain to find the net at least twice themselves, so this is esentially a bet for Ukraine to score.
Both teams have scored in eight of Ukraine's last 10 games, and Ukraine have found the net against France in their three previous H2H's, dating back to 2021. France are also without first choice centre back, William Saliba, pulling out of the squad with injury.
