We've picked out an 8/1 four-fold for Saturday's Nations League action.
England are backed to win in Croatia, while Spain and Switzerland are both fancied to combine victory with a clean sheet. The remaining selection comes in Skopje, where the lack of goals from North Macedonia and Scotland points towards Under 2.5.
Croatia vs England: England to win
England are backed to take three points from their trip to Croatia, with Thomas Tuchel's side carrying the stronger recent attacking form into the Group A3 meeting.
The Three Lions responded to their opening 3-2 defeat against world champions Spain by winning 2-0 away to Czechia on Tuesday. Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane were again the goalscorers, meaning both players have now found the net in each of England's opening two Nations League matches. England have therefore scored four times across their first two games despite facing Spain and a Czech side that began the campaign with a narrow defeat to Croatia.
Croatia also have three points, but their most recent performance raises concerns ahead of facing another elite attack. After beating Czechia 2-1, they were comprehensively beaten 4-1 by Spain, struggling to contain Spain's pace and movement in the final third.
There is also a useful recent head-to-head reference. England beat Croatia 4-2 at the World Cup earlier this summer, with Kane, Jude Bellingham and Marcus Rashford among the scorers. England have won the last two competitive meetings between the nations.
With England coming off a controlled away victory, Croatia having conceded four last time out and the Three Lions already beating them convincingly this summer, England at around 17/20 provides the opening leg.
Spain vs Czechia: Spain to win & BTTS/No
Spain are backed to continue their perfect Nations League start while keeping Czechia off the scoresheet.
Luis de la Fuente's side have opened Group A3 with two wins from two, beating England 3-2 at Wembley before dismantling Croatia 4-1 on Tuesday. That latest victory extended Spain's unbeaten run to 40 matches, with Lamine Yamal scoring twice as the world champions produced another dominant attacking display.
Czechia have gone in the opposite direction, losing both of their opening Nations League matches. They were beaten 2-1 by Croatia before losing 2-0 to England, leaving them with one goal scored and four conceded.
The head-to-head record also strongly favours La Roja. Spain are unbeaten in seven previous meetings with Czechia, winning five and drawing two.
Spain have conceded in both Nations League games so far, so the clean-sheet element carries more risk than simply backing the home win. However, Czechia's limited attacking output combined with Spain's ability to dominate possession makes Spain to win and BTTS No at 8/15 an appealing second selection.
North Macedonia vs Scotland: Under 2.5 Goals
North Macedonia and Scotland both arrive in Skopje desperately short of goals, making Under 2.5 goals the preferred angle.
Neither nation has scored across the opening two rounds of Group B1. North Macedonia were beaten 3-0 by Switzerland and 2-0 by Slovenia, while Scotland followed a 0-0 draw in Slovenia with a 3-0 home defeat to Switzerland.
That means the two sides have combined for zero goals across four Nations League performances.
The wider trends are even more convincing. North Macedonia have now failed to score in six consecutive matches, while Scotland are on a run of four straight games without finding the net.
With both nations still searching for their first Nations League goal, Under 2.5 at 4/6 makes the third leg.
Switzerland vs Slovenia: Switzerland to win & BTTS/No
Switzerland are backed to continue their perfect Nations League start while keeping Slovenia off the scoresheet.
Murat Yakin's side have opened Group B1 with consecutive 3-0 victories, beating North Macedonia away before repeating the scoreline against Scotland at Hampden Park. Switzerland therefore arrive with six goals scored and none conceded.
Slovenia are also unbeaten and have yet to concede, drawing 0-0 with Scotland before beating North Macedonia 2-0. Saturday represents a significant increase in difficulty, though, as they travel to face the group's strongest attacking side.
Recent meetings also favour Switzerland. The nations met during qualification for the 2026 World Cup, with Switzerland winning 3-0 at home before a 0-0 draw in Slovenia.
With Switzerland scoring three times in each of their Nations League matches, yet to concede and having already beaten Slovenia 3-0 on home soil recently, Switzerland to win and BTTS No at 20/21 completes the accumulator.
