The UEFA Nations League 2020/2021 Discussion Thread

[execijutiere]

In the Austria - France match, I bet on the first victory of the French in this edition of the UEFA Nations League. In the second game of Group 1, it seems to me that the Danes will continue their winning streak against Croatia. Croatia looks terrible so far. The great advantage of the Danes will also be playing in front of their own fans.

France will probably win. They have to win or they have no chance of getting out of the group. In the other match of the group I think Denmark will not lose. Denmark has a good squad. After France failed to win the first two matches, they are considered the favorite.

The Danish national team exceeded their expectations in this tournament. The Croats, on the other hand, fell short of expectations. I think Denmark will win if there are no surprises in this match. Croatia, on the other hand, finishes last in the group and is relegated to classification B. Especially in the first match, they beat France 2-1 in France, which gave Denmark a great advantage. Also, in the matches played yesterday, North Macedonia lost 3-0 to Georgia. I think this is a big problem. North Macedonia should have won this match comfortably. I must admit I was very surprised.

France is like the country version of PSG. They motivate the opposing team only with their staff. Such wide and high quality feet must dominate the world football. France is one of the absolute favorites of every tournament on paper, but since euro 2020, they are far from that old France national team profile, there is a noticeable underperformance, but in the world cup, the things will be different. For the Croatia game: Mbappe, Benzema, Griezman, Ngolo Kante, Pogba, Giroud, Theo Hernandes, Hugo Loris. These are the 8 main team players and none of them played in this match and that means France played this match with the 2nd squad. In my opinion, they don't care about this trophy for France (they already got this trophy last year) or they are testing other 2nd squad players to see how they perform.

Already in the international league, strong teams like France would want to show their alternative squads. So maybe they don't care about this trophy. On paper, I think France is at a much better level than most national teams. They are one of the most favorite teams to win this trophy and other trophies. They are aware of this quality and perhaps underestimate their competitors for this reason.

Portugal again won in the UEFA Nations League tournament over the Czech Republic. A 2-0 win at Estadio Jose Alvalade put Portugal in the lead of Group 2. The Czech Republic had to drop to 3rd as Spain won over Switzerland which took the points to 5.

Spain effort to avoid an unwanted result was achieved thanks to Pablo Sarabia only goal in the 13th minute. There are tasks that must be improved by L. Enrique for the good of the Spanish national team, one of which lies in the front line based on the 3 matches they have played.

Portugal success in getting 3 points made them now firmly at the top of the Group B standings, actually I hoped that the Czechs would be able to provide a fierce resistance in that match but Portugal who played at home were actually able to dominate throughout the match, the neat and organized Portugal game made it very difficult for the Czechs to develop their game  and even they were only able to create 1 shot on target  in the match, different from matches against switzerland and spain, even though at that time the czech also lost in possession but their attacks were clearly more effective than the match against portugal.

Indeed, when playing against Croatia these names were not in the starting lineup but were on the bench. Against Croatia only got a draw with the second squad, but what about when playing against Denmark with a losing result, while playing against Denmark the names mentioned were played in the match. The previous title in 2021 is not a benchmark for the team to give up, because a great team is a team that is able to defend the title. So I don't think this moment guarantees even if they have a lot of star players in the squad, because the dark horse teams will always play better.

I'm not sure if France will win. I can't call the Austrian team weak. They had a remarkable 3-0 win over Croatia. So Austria has the ability to play well against strong teams. This match has a good chance of being drawn.

Denmark has won the last two matches 2-1 against France and Austria. They will definitely want to continue this continuity. And that's why I think the Danish team is the favorite against Croatia.

Portugal is too strong for Czech that 2-0 is enough for them to get 3 points and get first position in standings group and in the other hand for today match Austria Vs France and as defending champion France still cannot showed satisfied performance because in the last 2 matches they only get 1 draw from Croatia and lose from Denmark so against Austria today their manager targeted 3 points and i think they can be able to won the match because from history side showed France is more better than Austria

Portugal successfully beat the Czech Republic with a score of 2-0 through goals scored by Manchester City's João Cancelo and a goal by Valencia's Gonçalo Guedes. Result made Portugal managed to move up to first place with 7 points from 2 wins and 1 draw, 2 points adrift of Spain who are in second place in Group 2 of the UEFA Nation League. In the match against the Czechs, Portugal was able to appear dominant and had almost 64% possession of the ball compared to 36% of the Czech possession. In addition, Portugal was also able to record 11 kicks on goal.

Well, it's a well-deserved victory! I expected at least one goal from the Czech team, but Portugal was too strong for them! And Spain one as we all thought it will, I expected more than one goal from Spain, but the win is a win!

I am not sure about anything with these two games, France and Croatia desperately need points, but Austria and Denmark are not the teams we should underestimate! It will be interesting for sure, I have some small bets on goals, but before some bigger bets, I will wait for the games to start... I would like to see the first 5-10 minutes and will there be some pressure from the beginning, after that, I will make some decisions!

Benzema and Mbappe must play from the first minutes, then the chances of winning will be much higher. I understand that the players need a rest, but to see France after two rounds with one point is somehow not customary. I decided to make such a multibet, for the victory of France today 1.6 and for Germany 1.4 (the match will be played tomorrow), the total odds is 2.3. But need to see before the match of France what line-up will play, in case Deschamps wants to experiment again.

I believe France can win the game against Austria. they have to win because this will be an important point. after previously they did not get a win.
France must learn from Austria's game, which won a landslide victory over Croatia. Dropping Mbappe and Benzema at the same time, I don't think it's bad. but have to see how the fitness of the players. especially the older Benzema.

Although they didn't win the match, at least credit should be given to them as they managed to ensure no goal was scored in the second half, even while making opportunities for themselves. In their last five games, they've just been able to secure a win against Switzerland and it also but it looked luck was not on there side yesterday again. I believe Coach Silhavy will have a lot on his plate when they meet Spain on Sunday as they managed to get to a draw during their last meeting.

I also have the same belief, have no doubt that France will be able to win over Austria in this maml match, the unsatisfactory results in the previous 2 matches will be a big motivation for France to be able to take full points in this match.
for Mbappe and Benzema it looks like they will play together in this match, from the predictions of the Line-ups while France immediately fielded 3 attackers Mbappe, Benzema and also A.Griezmann.
With the squad currently owned by France, they should be able to win with a big score.

France will probably win. They have to win or they have no chance of getting out of the group. In the other match of the group I think Denmark will not lose. Denmark has a good squad. After France failed to win the first two matches, they are considered the favorite.

France will have a very important match against Austria today, after getting 2 negative results in the previous match, now France is in third place with 1 point, as the seeded team in the group of course it is quite painful to see France current position, facing Austria of course be a great opportunity for France to get points and move up to second place later, on paper France is clearly superior to Austria but the name of football is indeed very difficult to predict as was the case in the previous two French matches.

With 1 draw and 1 loss, France will play very carefully in their match against Austria later. this is a very good condition to raise the morale of the French players. Even so, Austria is not an opponent to be underestimated. Because they managed to beat Croatia in their previous match.

In the same hour we will also see the Denmark vs Croatia match. This should be an easy match for Croatia because they are both experiencing a slump like France. Let's wish France and Croatia all the best in this match.

While watching the Turkey-Lithuania match, something caught my attention. Turkey used to be passive in the game when they scored and they were drawn to the defense. But now they don't stop when they score and they struggle to score more goals. This is just like the German National Team. Stefan Kuntz brought discipline to the Turkish National Team and adapted it to the game.

Portugal have been the most attracting team of their group so far.

Their efforts in the Nations League do not go unnoticed. They are treated as a serious competition in the nations league and progresses to the next round to win the trophy. Impressive performance against the Czech Republic. It was a team effort. The Portuguese have excellent players, but they must work together well if they are going to achieve anything at the World Cup.

They played with Trengginas which made the Czech players unable to get out and only continued to survive during the game but in this case Portugal still had a bit of homework to do especially if you see the second half they ran the tension was a little different when compared to the first half.
But even so, they deserve appreciation for this achievement and they are firmly in the first position while in the group stage.

it's true but I think what happened with Portugal's game in the second half was due to the fatigue of their players, but having them 2 goals up in the first half made it happen. but the Czech Republic could not take advantage of it well because in terms of quality even though the Portuguese players were a little underperforming they could still equalize so that the final result was still the same 2-0 for Portugal's advantage.

In terms of players and the game, it is clear that there is quite a difference and it is very likely that France will not receive significant difficulties there but if you look at France's performance over the last 2 matches, it will also be a pretty risky bet in my opinion.
Counterattack from Austria is always troublesome if we look at their previous 2 matches.

Denmark if are in high confidence right now and they want to keep picking up points to maintain their confidence.

[jakdanyel]

About the matches today, I think there is already a very visible favourite team for one of these. That team are obviously France. They started the group stage very badly by getting one draw and one loss. It must be time they won a match. Austria have the capacity to surprise France but there is still a big power difference between these teams. In case France start the match with their best players like Mbappe, Benzema etc. they should be able to defeat Austria. About the Denmark v Croatia match, I think it can end up with a draw.

What I like about this match is that F. Santos did some pretty good things like rotating players and making a little difference in terms of tactics because when Bruno came in there, the midfield was a little more lively but on the other hand they played more patiently and didn't rush. -Hurry in front of goal. Apart from that, there are also some young players who were introduced from the start to make their confidence in regeneration visible and this is quite good in my opinion
