The UEFA Nations League 2020/2021 Discussion Thread

Let's look forward for an interesting game to night, Portugal vs Spain. Am betting on Portugal having seen their recent improvement in attack. I think with Ronaldo and Bernard Silva partnership we lead them to victory tonight, Spain on the other hand has young stars. If Portugal is not careful they might hurt them within a second. Just hoping to see Ronaldo on the score line, this will help him against Manchester city game during the weekend game.  Interesting week ahead in football 😊

Ukraine will playing as a host against Scotland today and several days ago they were failed to win even with big scores from Scotland and their position were taking over by Scotland on group standings but at least they already forget their losses and can bounce back with win from Armenia but the latest news from this team is there were several players who got injured before and this might be will have an effect for their performance today and after seeing this situation i was slightly doubt they can able to win from Scotland

Thanks again to Harry Maguire for making it again, as always we'll acknowledge his efforts. When Saka came on to play England at 2-0 down against Germany, he was involved in all three goals. An excellent job.

I disagree with so serious critics against Maguire that is over exaggeration in my opinion. However, I agree that Maguire currently has poorer performance that what he can do. Temporarily he has a worst time in Manchester United after three seasons there and he brings it to England team too. His performance can only be improved if he can get his confidence back that is likely impossible at the moment.

It was an excellent performance by both teams. Before the World Cup tournament in Qatar begins, action needs to be taken earlier. It is now time for Southgate to advance as England's Coach.

Southgate has achieved good things with England team in World Cup 2018 and Euro 2020 but now even he has a long contract, he is under pressure to be sacked. If England won't get good result in the upcoming World Cup, semi final or final, he will likely be sacked.

I believe British expect to have title so even it is semi final or final, it will be considered as failure.

Portugal vs Spain will determine who will be the winner in Group B. Portugal only needs a draw in this match, while Spain needs an absolute victory.
In the first meeting they were only able to draw 1-1. In that match Spain did dominate the game, but they struggled to penetrate Portugal's defense and their attacks were not very effective.
Maybe in this match Spain will be able to dominate the game again, but for sure Portugal can read the game that is usually played by Spain.
I predict Portugal will come out victorious in this match by a narrow score.

I didn't expect this performance from England.

They played better football today than what we saw in their last game. Today's game gives the coach a good hint on how his world cup first eleven should look like for England. For Germany, although they equalized, If this is their world cup team and how they intend to play, It will take a streak of luck for them to get to the finals to even win the cup. Another thing was a fact also from the games today is that the Italian team would have caused an upset in the world cup had they qualified.

That moved England national team to five (5) games without a single win for England. They should have won that game for turning the game around in a couple of ten to fifteen minutes immediately after the score was two for Germany and nothing for England.
The game saw Harry Kane scoring and has just two goals left to beat Wayne Rooney's goal margin for England National Team. He currently sits at 52 goals.

Also, still amazed nobody's talking about Gareth Southgate's level of bias and how he has been shortsighted when he picks player's. How can he pick and put Harry Maguire that is not in the right mentality and mood, Luke Shaw was a bit outstanding and he was part of the scores for england but was too lazy to track down Kai's last goal and equalizer.

I literally can't wait to see and watch the world Cup, Southgate will still do everything to play and put Harry Maguire and that may likely Leeds to his faluire during the world Cup.

I hope we watch a good game tonight, like England vs Germany.
Spain needs to win for the group lead, Portugal has the home advantage, it will be a tough game for Spain tonight.

Today's UEFA Nations League Group A matches promise to be very interesting, because all teams still have something to fight for. Teams of Portugal and Spain are struggling to qualify for play-offs, while Switzerland and the Czech Republic are playing to remain in the A League. I believe that teams playing at home will achieve their goals and not lose tonight's games.

[fzkto]

What a battle it was between England and Germany! To be honest I didn't get a chance to watch this match, but the score of 3-3 speaks volumes. Pity Germany couldn't win, then they could have passed Hungary in the group. Well, Italy has shown class and is first in the standings. Well done. They were able to do well from the start without showing good results. Hungary also played well, beating England and Germany. I think that's a great achievement for them and a surprise for many football fans.

[hashrateproducts]

The game tied to a 3-3 draw with Germany having a narrow escape to defeats. England comeback in the second half was really a big action pulled by Gareth Southgate and this motivates the fans. Truthfully, I was in support of Germany to win the game but turns out that their Frontlines missed several goal chances like their youngster, Musiala keypasses to Timo Werner which the Striker missed. But england players are still in better shape ahead of their upcoming games and the both teams seems to get fully fit for the world cup.

I think you can try and bet on a Portuguese win against Spain today or on both teams to score... Spain lost to Switzerland in their last game and don't look strong, while Portugal have been making good progress in recent matches... Although Spain has the motivation to get to the top of the group, but I don't think they will be able to win today... Personally, I will try to make a multi-bet on that Portugal and Switzerland win...

I think this match will be a draw. The last four matches between Portugal vs Spain have been draws. However, considering the recent form, Portugal can be put ahead. In the last match, Portugal won against their opponent Czech Republic by 4-0. On the other hand, Spain lost their last match against Switzerland. But I guess today's match will be a 1-1 draw.

[Alanaz]

60 minutes of time passed and Italy now took the lead with a score that was quite difficult for Hungary to follow.
2 Goals from young Italian players Raspadori and Dimarco seemed to be the end for Hungary because it was difficult for them to follow behind with their current condition even though the Hungarian resistance and the games they played were actually always entertaining.

I'm surprised that Italy plays so well. The team is completely new after failing to qualify for the World Cup. Only 4 players are still with them from those games. Wilfried Gnonto in the forward with 18 years, this is also surprising. But they are doing well, or better than The team in last year.

It seems that Italy now wants to find a new alternative by continuing to play their young players in order to have more experience in the future and this is definitely quite good in my opinion because indeed since a few years ago Italy has continued to do the same thing with their old players even though it is quite good in terms of experience still they need regeneration.
The match ended without any additional goals after 2 goals scored by their young players.

If you're still expecting change or improvement from Southgate,then you should be ready to lose money on staking on England. Excerpt they sack Southgate and bring in new manager, that will bring in new ideas and tactics . Because Southgate can't deliver this team to any victory.  He doesn't need a chance at all, he should be sacked immediately or else, they will have themselves it he blame.  Most surprisedly thing he did, was to leave Sancho behind, Sancho that's on fire recently for players that are not consistent

It baffle me how Gareth Southgate still played calamitous Maguire in their defence, this is a player who is prone to errors, it was very glaring two of the goals scored by Germany was his fault, I don't know Southgate dropped an in-form Sancho as well as played Saka out of position in their previous match but played him in the right position in their match against Germany consequently his introduction to the match made an instant impact, I hope in the final list for the World Cup Sancho has to be included even Rashford deserve a spot in the list else the English team might flop in that tournament.

I predict Portugal will come out victorious in this match by a narrow score.

Spain make a lot of changes to their starting line-up: 7 new after the 2-1 defeat to Switzerland. That means Gaya, Koke, Carlos Soler, Carvajal, Morata, Hugo Guillamon and Rodrigo are the 7 in and they start from the beginning. I think Spain will risk more because a draw is not enough for first place and the semi-finals.

Portugal is in better form at the moment and I expect them to control the match from minute one. Spain will have to attack sooner or later since they need to win to get final 4 place and that will be the time for Portugal to strike.

Should be a good match hopefully, this could also finish 0:0 but early goal should unlock it. My bet tonight is on Portugal to not loose.

[buwaytress]

I always say do not wager on these games, it's obvious that teams do not play the way they should, they play basically by not caring about it at all. Too many big nations ended up losing before to make it worthwhile for gambling.

Hence why we should all be betting against big nations.

Speaking of "big" ones. Armenia are over 10/1 to beat Rep of Ireland. If that's not good value in a week of upsets, I don't know what is. Yes, it's bottom team playing away but curious about Armenia's only win of the group so far? No prizes for guessing...

Should be a good match hopefully, this could also finish 0:0 but early goal should unlock it. My bet tonight is on Portugal to not loose.

Should be value bet in live if Spain start brightly for 20 mins and it's still 0-0. I'm staying away, want to enjoy last week's good fortune and just keep smaller bets on underdogs.

This will be the most interesting match to watch today because the two countries has a good number of stars which are currently playing in the biggest teams in Europe. Apart from Ronaldo and Silva in the Portugal team everyone will be looking forward to seeing better performance from Diego Jota, Bruno Fernandes and Ruben Dias and in the Spanish side we have their hitman Alvaro Morata, Ferran Torres and Pablo Sarabia. It's going to be an interesting match and the winner will be topping the group so we hope we don't get disappointed with their performance tonight. Ronaldo is likely to be on the scoreline because he has a way of making himself known in an important match like this one don't forget his last performance against Spain in a 3:3 draw when he scored a hat trick, hoping that he does that again tonight.

[3meek]

Ukraine and Scotland have been playing a lot... This is the third game in the last three months, with both teams beating each other by a big score... I don't know who will win tonight, because Ukraine are once again playing in Poland, although a big number of fans will be coming there... It seems to me that Scotland have picked up the pace and are playing better lately... Anyway I think both teams will score...

[swogerino]

Few minutes before the match between Portugal and Spain what's your prediction? My prediction is three nil, Portugal will win tonight, having seen Their formation and the players tonight I feel comfortable with them, to win tonight.  In the Same vein expect two goals from Ronaldo then one from Bernard Silva.

Based on their recent performance Spain looked really bad and if they play like that game against Switzerland not losing today for Spain would look a really huge surprise to me.If they play differently and play like they used to then the most logical result is a draw in this game.Most predicting websites are showing a 1-1 draw for this game but I think Portugal should win this if they find Spain in the same condition as they played against Switzerland.I have bet on a Portugal narrow win tonight because their form is greatly on the rise recently and the odd is good enough at 2.35 which for me was inviting.

At the moment the match is still tied and I don't think Portugal can beat Spain. Bruno Fernandes and Cristiano Ronaldo are in the starting eleven. Spain's squad is also very good. This match will end in a draw in my opinion. It will be a good fight before the World Cup for both teams. Big games like this are important for teams to weigh themselves.
