Bet of the day
Belarus or draw double chance for 21/20
Luxembourg lost 2-0 in Belfast on Thursday and may find it difficult to justify their favouritism as they face a tough-to-beat Belarus side on Sunday.
The visitors picked up a point at home in their opening UEFA Nations League match against Bulgaria and, despite heavy home defeats to Russia and Israel in June, they have proven difficult to break away from home.
The visitors have lost just one of their last five away games, including a draw away in Switzerland and a 1-0 win in Kosovo. They beat Luxembourg 2-0 away in their last meeting of 2018 and have lost just two of their 12 encounters with Sunday opponents, so bet on them to avoid defeat at the Stade de Luxembourg.
Special offer of the day
Portugal total goals over 2.5 on 11/10
Scotland have three home games against Poland in their UEFA Nations League opener and could face another tough night in Lisbon on Sunday.
All three goals were the result of errors by the Scots, and Portugal have the attacking talent to punish those defensive lapses: their all-time leading scorer Cristiano Ronaldo, supported by Pedro Neto, Rafael Leao, Bruno Fernandes, Diogo Jota and Joao Felix.
The Selecao have scored 36 goals in their ten Euro 2024 qualifiers and have scored at least three goals in seven of their last ten home games. Given that the Tartan Army have conceded 12 goals in their last five matches, expect Roberto Martinez's side to score a few in Lisbon.
Long shot of the day
Poland to beat Croatia 10/3
Poland's last trip to Croatia ended in a 1-0 win in 2006 and Michal Probierz's side look well placed to repeat the feat this Sunday.
The Watrens suffered a defeat to Portugal in their opening UEFA Nations League game on Thursday and face a Polish side riding a wave of confidence after their latest win at Hampden Park.
Croatia are a team in transition, missing some key players: defender Domagoj Vida and midfielder Marcelo Brozovic are retiring after Euro 2024, while Nikola Vlasic, Lovro Majer, Josip Stanisic and Josip Juranovic are injured.
