The UEFA Nations League 2020/2021 Discussion Thread

[Sebas.tian]

Austria Vs France and Denmark Vs Croatia matches have ended, and I found out that only 1 of my 3 bets won. Based on the statistics of the game, France should have come out victorious in this match, because they really dominated the game. But it looks like they were unlucky because there was an early goal scored by Andreas Weimann in the first half. I don't think France has another chance here.

France really performed well in this match, but it was very difficult for them to achieve a goal from the first half, because Austria defense was very strong for Franc strikers to score goals. Austria really understood France tactics in the first half because France tried their possible best to defeat Austria but that opportunity was not there for them to achieve but before the end of first half Austria embraced one goal that made many people to concluded that France cannot achieve any goal till the end of the match. France later equalized the goal 1-1 in the second half after the coach has made some changes, they were enable to achieved one goal that made the match draw 1-1.

Netherlands for me is the most performing team of the tournament talking about beautiful gameplay and attacking style,they also have scored quite a lot of goals together with Belgium but Belgium lost the direct clash with Netherlands.I think the Netherlands is going to win tonight and have a clean sheet against Poland because Poland really suffered a lot against Belgium and they lost 6-1 to them.

Interesting game England vs Italy which I think the most common result expected here should be a draw.England has not shown quite a good football so far but they are England and this can change really fast.

Germany should win easily tonight or may be not so easily against Hungary but in the end it should win.

The situation in the group with France and Croatia changed even more interestingly. France are now in last place and Croatia have managed to beat leaders Denmark. I don't understand why the two favourites, who played in the last World Cup final, are now in the relegation zone.

First of all, this is not a serious competition, at the level of a world or European championship.
The main players France and Croatia came to this competition very tired after exhausting domestic competitions and without too much motivation and strength.
The main task of coaches is to try new players through this competition and not some sports result.
In addition, France was unlucky in the matches against Austria and Croatia and after the embarrassment against Austria, Croatia was forced to give preference to the main players in the matches against France and Denmark due to public pressure and great criticism, and this immediately affected the games and results.

Although this competition is an official competition from FIFA, I don't think any of the contestants will take it seriously (except for weak teams). These matches at UNL are like friendly matches that have no impact on them, very different from the UEFA Cup or the World Cup. Have you seen the news about Kevin de Bruyne who said that UNL is an unimportant competition? you can read it here.

An astonishing statistic. The 2 teams playing in the World Cup final and the scoreboard is quite interesting. I don't think anyone could have predicted that France would be last after 3 games. France still has a chance to lead the group, but this chance has diminished a lot. They should definitely get 3 points from the Austria match.

[3meek]

The last three games between England and Italy ended in a 1-1 draw... And in general these teams always score against each other, so I think today is a good bet that both teams will score... I also think that Italy are motivated to win the Nations League because they did not qualify for the World Cup... Bookmakers are giving a very good odds of 4.3 for them to win...

Either Deschamps is thinking of returning to first place in the group in the second circle, or he regards this entire tournament as practice games. Even though Benzema had a couple of very good chances yesterday to score a goal, in the first 80 minutes the impression that the French team was just waiting for the game to end, the last 10 minutes they were transformed but it was not enough to win. Now I will bet on France in every match - I think they will try to continue the fight because at the moment their results are simply indecent for a team of this level.

[Cryptmuster]

Deschamps seems confused in rotating players and using tactics because he always changes some of the tactics he has played in the 3 matches he has played.

There are so many capable players there but unfortunately in the 3 matches that have been done they are like little children playing because they always lose their way when attacking and cannot withstand counter attacks well.

This is what I wrote about yesterday, France had a much better chance of winning if Mbappe and Benzema came from the starting minutes, but Deschamps decided that Griezmann was the best option. As a result, Mbappe came on as a substitute for Griezmann only in the 63rd minute of the match, he scored the goal but the Deschamps gave him too little time to do more on the field. Unnecessary experiments led to the fact that France is in last place in the group, can’t imagine worse...

The fact is that Italy is now leading with 4 points and England are at the bottom of the table with 1 point and with that said, it looks like Italy does have a better chance of winning. But unfortunately, this match was held in England which is certainly one of the factors that made England the favorite team. But apart from that, of course, England has a mission of revenge, because Italy's victory in the Euro final yesterday was certainly a trigger for England to beat Italy at this moment.

[Balmain]

In the Austria-France match, Austria found the goal they scored early. After the mistake made in the defense, they made good use of the ball they won and found the goal with short and quick passes. France scored the goal with Mbappé in the 82nd minute and they had a really hard time finding the goal. Mbappe saved his team from defeat with his goal.

[execijutiere]

There are more interesting matches today than yesterday. Especially Italy-England and Netherlands-Poland.
Italy vs England might be boring. I hope not. I think today's matches will be more goal-scoring than yesterday, because when we look at the statistics and the last matches, it shows that it should be so. I'm very curious about the scores.

England vs Italy has odds of 2.0/3.3/4.1
I am a bit surprised by that. England is strong and they do play at home, but Italy won't  be an easy opponent. It is tempting to bet on an Italy  win or on England doesn't win in this game.
Hungary vs Germany has 6.5/4.5/1.5. Also tempting to bet on no-germany-win. Germany is the favorite here, but they haven't shown a convincing game yet. Hungary on the other side is looking pretty good these days

[KTChampions]

Austria 1 - 1 France

Judging by the composition that the coach puts on the field, he initially does not think about the tournament situation and about the need to score points. I bet on the victory of France and lost. On the one hand, I can't blame the players who, after a difficult season, are forced to play in this incomprehensible tournament, but on the other hand, it's annoying when teams play as if they don't need anything.

That's the reason I avoid betting on win market on unimportant matches like this sometimes they play beyond capacity sometimes as a strategy test
If you really want to bet it's better to take other options such as total goals or both teams to score no matter who wins for sure the goal is scored

But Total Over (2,5) also lost yesterday, although it was an obvious choice. Similarly with Croatia (1-1). If the team plays disgustingly, then this is reflected in all statistical indicators.

LOL, surprising that France was not able to win this match from Austria. They have Benzema, Mbappe, Griezmann and other best players but they haven't been able to win a match so far. France failed to get full points in their last 3 matches, are they not serious about playing in this competition?

2 draws and 1 defeat left France in the last position of the group. Denmark leads the standings with 6 points after losing to Croatia in today's match. It looks like there are a lot of people losing bets today because France failed to win the match.

I think most bettors are internally ready to lose money on bets in such a tournament (everyone sees the attitude of teams towards it), but still it’s a painful feeling when you find a game where the team must be motivated, made a bet, but the game is still friendly

England - Italy is going to be a very interesting match. I'm thinking of watching it but it is going to be played without spectators and this can drop the excitement level of this match too. England are my favourite side in this one and they really need this win here. They made a horrible start to the group by one draw and lose each. This is their chance to make up for this bad start but their opponent is really strong at the same time. I still expect to see a determined team against Italy.

Even though Italy is at the top of the standings, basically the quality of the two teams is not much different, we can compare their match against Germany and the result is a 1-1 draw. Therefore, even though these two teams are reflected in very different odds, I personally think they still have a chance to win, both from England and Italy. England do have a mission as I said before too and with that factor in mind, of course England will give all their best but for me it will still not be easy.

I agree with you. Italy and England are two teams with big quality, but in my opinion England this evening has something more than Italy, what? The fact that England has lost the final of European against Italy, and they will

try to do everything to win this match, so, I'm gonna to say that Italy will win this evening.

This is a very difficult match to predict, the teams have equal chances of winning and I don't agree with such a preponderance of bookmakers towards England. I think that Italy will not lose this match, for odds 1.9 this is a very good bet. Also, after the confident victory of Belgium over Poland, I think that they will continue their streak with a victory over Wales, and they also score at least two goals in this match.

[cryptofrka]

Croatia is really messing with my bets. I started watching the game and we were horrible - especially with the lineup that Dalić started with.
I placed a bet on Denmark and another one on their handicap win and they could have scored easily in the first 15 minutes or so.

After Dalić introduced Modrić and Kovačić we fully took control of the game and should have won with even a bigger difference.
Whatever I do - I simply cannot get our game correct. I missed the outcomes of all 3 of them so far.

England - Italy should be fun tonight though. I'm betting on England.

60,000 people coming to watch? That reminds me of the Barcelona game, haha. But I do assume that Germany will now win a match, because they have had a poor start in the Nations League this season. Players don't think the tournament is very important, but they do want to give the supporters some fun. And also in the run-up to the 2022 World Cup, this is a kind of important practice route to see how the players play together. Germany also has very strong players individually.
