England v Czech Republic - 19:45

Let’s start with good old England. World Cup semi-finalists; future Nations League champions; our heroes.

I’m backing Gazza’s lads to beat the Czech Republic with a -1 handicap.

The visitors are nothing special: a couple of defeats against Ukraine in their Nations League group doesn’t suggest they’ll trouble England too much.

Football starts its journey home on Friday – with a bang.

England -1 - 1pt @ 19/20

Moldova v France - 19:45

France are the world champions and have lots of players who can score loads of goals.

Moldova finished behind Belarus and Luxembourg in their Nations League group.

This won’t be a contest, and I’m backing France to win with a -2 handicap.

France -2 - 1pt @ 5/4

Portugal v Ukraine - 19:45

Finally, I’m backing Portugal to beat Ukraine.

Despite being without Cristiano Ronaldo for the entirety of their Nations League campaign, Portugal still topped their group, and their talisman returns for these crucial qualifiers.

Ukraine inexplicably lost 4-1 away against Slovakia back in November, and while they still won their Nations League group, I don’t believe they possess enough quality to hurt Portugal.
