The UEFA Nations League 2020/2021 Discussion Thread

[mv1986]

There are only a few weeks to go for the next matches. We have seen the most powerful teams not caring about the Nations League much. As there is not much time left for the World Cup to start also I don't expect these teams to risk their most important players much in the Nations League matches. It is very probable to see so many rotations from them so I don't think of betting on any match in this tournament from now on.

I'm in the Nations League pool on one hand and I hope I can continue to get lucky in the remaining matches as well. It is really not easy to predict the score of the matches while teams are performing way different than normal. The schedule of players is getting tighter soon and this might cause some injuries to be seen. National teams will have a big task to keep their best players away from this situation.

That is an interesting aspect about this part of the Nations League right before the World Cup. I also think that coaches won't necessarily call for the players that are chosen for the final team already. It will be about giving chances to players who haven't yet had a chance or who still have to prove how well they function within the national team. Yet, there is also value in having at least a certain baseline within the squad or otherwise these tests are a bit like a roulette game. There are different player types. Some play well in any team, some only in some teams and then there are also disappointments. I am thinking about Werner here. He played so well for RB back then, then played at best average for Chelsea, comes back and disappoints again. That's why coaches have to choose wisely how many players they are going to leave home and which they still want to see on an international level.

We will start again soon with the Nations League. These will also be the last international competitions before the world championship starts. The most interesting encounter is between the Netherlands and Belgium. In Belgium, the Netherlands won 1-4, but Belgium was not motivated at all. The Netherlands will win the group. I think many countries take this as a kind of preparation for the World Cup. Because the title of the Nations League does not play any significant role in terms of content. They are glorified practice matches.

True, but at the end of the day these matches are glorified friendlies. They do not carry the same weight as a match in the World Cup, not even close.

Also any results cannot be taken too seriously because lots of teams don't send key players or they just don't play as hard to avoid injuries.

This will be felt, especially at this stage, as the main players have a lot of games in the clubs and the World Cup will take place in 3 months, right in the middle of the season. Therefore, it will be necessary to manage the players very well, so that they can remain in their best shape until the World Cup.

Again this super-important tournament is with us... eh 

So, what do you think of this multibet: Belgium vs Wales 1.42, France vs Austria 1.38, Turkey vs Luxembourg 1.29 (lol, that seems like the easiest money even for a single bet) and Germany vs Hungary 1.26. In total, it turns out 3.18 and looks quite reliable (although, adjusted for the status of the competition, the issue of reliability is debatable).

It looks a good one as a beginning,I think Belgium is a sure win seeing how badly Wales has performed in the tournament,also Turkey looks like an easy bet while Germany has had a 2-2 draw a couple of years ago against Hungary although the teams are not the same as they were back then,Germany is somewhat better and France the last choice has made quite a few surprise results in the Nations league,nevertheless the choice looks good and I wish you to win your ticket but as they say the more games you have the more chances for you to go bust.

With Hugo Lloris and Theo Hernandez withdrawn from the France squad due to their respective injuries, Didier Deschamps' squad are now without two more players to receive Austria's visit at the Stade de France Paris.

The French squad had previously accepted the resignation of Adrien Rabiot last week. While France were already without a number of key players for this week's Nations League games against Austria and Denmark, key players such as Paul Pogba, N'Golo Kante, Karim Benzema, Lucas Hernandez and Kingsley Coman who have suffered previous injuries are all sidelined.

France have played four matches in Group 1 with two draws and two defeats, and they are battling to avoid relegation.

I've also prepared a betslip consisting of three picks:

Belgium to win @1.42, both teams to score for Poland - Netherlands @1.74 and Slovakia to win @1.40.

Belgium still have a chance for the first place. If Netherlands lose points and they win then the point gap will be only one before the last matches. As Poland are trying to guarantee themselves about not relegating they would fight back against Netherlands in their upcoming match. For that match I think it won't be hard for any side to score at least one goal. Their previous match ended 2-2 and a similar result wouldn't be surprising. Slovakia are still keeping their leadership chance alive. They have no choice other than winning this. They beat Azerbaijan away before and they can do the same home also.

Interesting statistics. Bettors still believe much more in Denmark than in Croatia, even though Croatia beat both France and Denmark away from home in June, and now in the match with Denmark at home, the first place in the group is decided directly.
I wonder what chances they gave France before the games in June? 
Probably better than Denmark and Croatia today 

Denmark 8.50

Croatia 17.00

It is not the bettors who believe and set the odds, but the bookmakers, they are based primarily on statistics and the chances of teams to take first place in the group, which are higher in Denmark at the moment.

what's Interesting to me is how high the odds are for Croatia to win in their home stadium, they already beat them not so long ago 1-0 in Denmark, so 2.37 is pretty high for Croatia to win and betting on double chance in their favor seems like an easy bet.

Yeah, I saw the same thing. It seems a bit too high to be honest. I still think Denmark will win against Croatia, but I would have expected closer odds than that.

EUFA Nation league will return to play with tomorrow match between Scotland vs Ukraine although Ukraine has high odds in this match but they were the favourite to win especially they have good records from Scotland that on their latest meetings Ukraine can win 3-1 and for Scotland this probably their last chance to determined their position on the group because if they lose again then they will failed to taking over first position on group standings but for this match i will more prefer to pick both teams to scores considering their records showed Scotland or Ukraine can able to scoring goals each other

[tarable]

In UEFA the Nations League, Italy will play against England and Hungary. But currently Italy without Verratti, Verratti picked up a calf injury and was substituted in the second half of PSG's win over Lyon in Ligue 1 on Sunday with a calf problem.

PSG coach Christophe Galtier has explained regarding Verratti's injury that the 29-year-old will delay joining the Italy squad for a scan in Paris on Monday.

Italy coach Roberto Mancini has officially confirmed his team will be without Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti for the Nations League matches against England and Hungary. Currently, Italy is in Group 3 with 5 points from four matches and is currently in 3rd position in the standings.

Both teams are not very stable, so I can’t predict the winner here, but Ukraine plays well in attack and they score at least one goal in a match, while Scotland concedes a lot. Therefore, Ukraine TO1 for a odds of 1.99 is not a bad option, in extreme cases, if Ukraine scores only 1 goal, there will be a refund. But I don't like the League of Nations, because the teams don't take this tournament very seriously.

Why is there so much distrust in the strength of the Croatian team, which is the current world runner-up?
If you ask me, this is currently one of the best bets offered and a good opportunity to make money if you believe in the quality of the Croatian national team.
Who is ready to bet on Croatia?

This intended to replace friendly games, if they didn't invent this tournament we would still watch unnecessary international games anyway. I don't see much about complaining this tournament. Although I would choose no international tournaments except World Cup once in four years, I'd still accept these games as there is no other choice for us. Better than no football for two weeks.
Scotland and Ukraine will play in B League Group 1. First game was postponed so this will be their first meeting. They were also opponents in World Cup eliminations and Ukraine got a comfortable win this Summer. Nothing much changed but I expect Scotland to show better performance this time. I think they won't lose second time at home.

I'll pass the opportunity, Denmark is really good team and I still don't know how we beat them in that first game. They were much better in the first half but did not take their opportunities and then we brought in Modrić and it was enough to clinch the victory. Bear in mind that game was at the end of cycle and everybody was playing every 3 days so there was a lot of rotations.

We are also usually slow in our first game when new cycle starts so I am far from certain in our victory. We lost from much weaker team - Austira 3:0 at home in first game before those good results.

My money will be on both to score, I am quite sure Denmark will score and we are always good for at least one goal.

I'm a bit surprised that bookmakers have given bigger odds to Ukraine at 2.85 when in previous meetings they have been a stumbling block to Scotland. They rank top in their league and Scotland will do everything possible to ensure they top but I doubt it would be achieved.
 
 I would put my money on Ukraine because of their tactical pattern of play and although they haven't seen action in a while, they still have it them to win.

Yes, I am aware of Germany and France, but I think that unlike the summer games, these are already very close to the World Cup and here everyone will be interested in showing a normal game so as not to be criticized and additional pressure from the fans. Therefore, I assume that the favorites should realize their paper advantage.

I can see the current composition of squad for Ukraine almost be same when they beat Scotland several times ago and the names such as Stepanenko, Yaremchuk or Yarmolenko probably will played today so it proven Ukraine manager Oleksandr Petrakov looks very confident  they will beat again Scotland for second time so maybe they can continue their positive records again to today and get 3 points from this match although i am a bit doubt about it however regarding bet option yesterday i saw the odds for Ukraine still @2.95 and apparently it became to decline today and for your pick it's quite risky but the profit will be good if you won it

[fzkto]

The last time Ukraine beat Scotland in a World Cup qualifier by a big score. I think tonight's game will not be much different from the last one and Ukraine will win again. Although Scotland will certainly be keen to make up for their last defeat. The last but one meeting in the European Championship saw Scotland win 3-1. So I think the odds are even, but Ukraine will win again.
