The UEFA Nations League 2020/2021 Discussion Thread

[n0ne]

Turkey was pretty close to a humiliating defeat against Luxemburg, but they managed to equalize the result at the end.
The rest of the games were no surprise. France, Belgium and Netherlands were way stronger than their opponents. Croatia had problems with Denmark, but the Croatian attack was really good at the end of the game. Can't wait to see Italy vs. England. The English team seems like a favorite for winning this match, but the Italians cannot be underestimated. I also think that Gibraltar can get a draw against Bulgaria.

The match was alive till the last, because whenever Luxemburg makes a goal Turkey used to make a goal. This way there is consecutive goals from Luxemburg followed by Turkey. So, from the beginning to the end the goals used to get levelled often. Finally at the 69th minute Luxemburg lead the match 3-2 and Turkey fought till the last and levelled the goals 3-3 once again at the last moment.

About Poland, their defeat is not a shock for me because they rely too much on Lewandowski. They failed in latest Euro when Lewandowski was constrained by opponents and other players can not support or cover Lewandowski.

A huge disappointment in Poland, not because of result but mostly because of style of game. It was a really bad game and thinking about World Cup coming, there is nothing to be optimist.
About Lewandowski - yes, there is still too much hoping for a one man who will do all the job. On the other hand, hard not to see that usually he plays much better games Bayern and Barcelona than in national team.

In the 69th minute, Luxembourg took the lead with the score 2 - 3 instead of 1-3. Turkey got their second goal after Luxembourg defender (Maxime Chanot) scored an own goal. From this 2 - 3 score, Turkey managed to equalize the score after Ismail Yuksek, who was a substitute, scored a goal in the final minutes of the match.

FYI, this match is the debut match for Ismail Yuksek in the national team, he made a good debut with his 1 goal. About the game as a whole, I am quite disappointed with Turkey's performance, they are a strong team, but can only get a draw with Luxembourg.

I never expected Hungary to still be able to hang on to the top position on the table in their group after 4 games played, but I think there is a high chance for Hungary to suffer a defeat today when they play against Germany. Germany are a strong team whenever they are playing in front of their home fans, and I guess Germany should be able to claim a victory at the end of the match today.

I’m looking forward to Italy vs England. England haven’t won any game in their group and they’ll face a tough task to avoid the ignominy of relegation to League B for the first time. A defeat to Italy today will  confirm relegation for them who realistically must win Italy and at home to Germany on Monday if they want to stay up. I think they’ll organize themselves this time around and fight to avoid relegation.

[bering]

What do you guys think about Italy vs England tonight which is the same game as it was the final in the last Euro cup,we had the first encounter between these two teams finish 1-1 and I think that can be the result of tonight game also but I don't know why bookies show as a slight favorite England when they could not win at home both in the final of the Euro and both at this league.I think it either finishes 1-1 or Italy makes a narrow win tonight.

I had checked the odds for them and England has odds @2.44 and Italy @3.15 and a bit surprised indeed because bookie provide high odds for Italy because compared to their recent performance Italy slightly better on this competition and their meetings records showed both of teams has been playing draw 4 times in a row and not impossible this match results will be similar such as their previous matches so might be draw result will be good for this match for bet option instead of moneyline

[hahay]

I quite regretted missing to bet on yesterday's match for League A, it was a win on paper of course for Belgium, Croatia, France and Netherlands. But apart from that I am quite impressed with Olivier Giroud who is still actively playing for the national team and is also still sharp in scoring goals at the age of 35, but it looks like France does not have a high chance of qualifying. Of the five matches played, they only won in that match, which of course has a long distance from the leader of the standings because Croatia has 10 points while France has 5 points.

[MK-74]

A bit disappointed with the performance of Turkey tonight after betting on them to win against Luxembourg I never thought the game could turn out to be something that Turkey's side will struggle to get a draw.

You're not the only one disappointed, you can be sure of that. Everyone had bet that Türkiye would win this game, but it didn't happen like that. I lost $100 just because of this game.

[3meek]

I don't understand how after 4 games Italy and England could be in the relegation zone and England have not won a single game at all... But tonight is another repeat of the last European Championship final... I wonder if England can win this time? But I don't think the match will be interesting... Probably Germany and Hungary will be more entertaining because Germany is in the second place in the standings and can get to the first one if they win...

[Pulsar77]

Let's see what you got. First game, Croatia and Denmark both can score, it's highly possible. For 1.89 odds I wouldn't miss it. The only problem is their last two games finished with only one side scoring goals. If one of these teams take the lead early then it's very possible to see an equalizer.
For France - Austria game I think it's up to Austria. France desperately need three points so they have to do everything to score a goal. Austria might find positions from counter attack. Will Arnautovic and Weimann both play today? Maybe we see more defensive Austria squad.
Poland - Netherlands game is the most possible match to finish with both teams to score.
Overall it looks like a good parlay but I don't have high confidence about that. I'm not sure if all these teams are hungry to score goals, some may accept goalless draw as well.

Both of my parlays lost yesterday because I put both teams to score for Poland - Netherlands in both of them.    This was the match I was also trusting the most but Poland were really ineffective interestingly. We didn't watch that ambitious Poland in their previous head-to-head.

France - Austria match was under control of France from the beginning to the end. I made a mistake there actually. I should have waited for the squads to be announced before placing my bet on it. Because France were in a dangerous condition in their group and it was very possible for them to start with their main players. It really happened and Austria were desperate against them.

Probably Germany and Hungary will be more entertaining because Germany is in the second place in the standings and can get to the first one if they win...

It is an important game for both teams. Not only historically but also about the first place in the table. A draw will do no one any good, but only the danger that Italy will suddenly have the same points with Hungary, if they managed to beat England. So both teams will go for a win. Therefore it will be an exciting match. But I do not make any predictions who will win.

England needed to redeem their image by winning today's match against Italy after losing last year European competition finals to Italy, they team has to up their game after being winless in their last four previous matches, the team is under pressure with their poor performances so far in the Nation league, personally I think Gareth Southgate player selection had been the major concern, picking players who are benched in their various clubs in starting eleven had already backfired, I hope he won't repeat such a mistake today by choosing the best and regular playing squad to avoid an embrassing defeat in today's match.

Italy still has some solid chances of winning the group but it is extremely hard. I think this match will be both teams to score for sure with a juicy odd. England for me will be relegated inside this group for sure. Hungary has an amazing chance against Germany to try and get some important points

Italy have more injuries and their form have been becoming worse and worse after the Euro final match. In contrast, England don't have big improvements or big decreasing performance. So I think England can win this match but they also have issues with their defense. So Italy will have some chances with counter attack but only if their attacking players can play well.

It is very final preparation before the World Cup so England and Southgate won't waste it. He will let England starting this match with a strongest squad as possible.

Even though some Italian players have been injured, I don't think England can win this match easily because the match will be held at the San Siro and this will be an advantage for Italy. Moreover, England had a poor performance in UEFA Nations, which they haven't won once and only have 2 points. If we look at the motivation of the two teams, I think Italy will be more serious in these matches because they have already failed to get a place in the World Cup, so UEFA Nations will be the ground to show their football.

While for Germany I would be extremely surprised if they don't win in their home field against Hungary,a team that lately brought problems to Germany.

Italy - England match might be England's last chance to stay in their current league. There is a three-point gap between these teams now and England are on the brink of relegating. I expect to see England playing extra tonight to get a win here. England win @2.44 seems very favourable to bet on for me. Maybe it is a big risk but I believe it's worth taking now. Southgate must have his best players in the starting eleven to reach their goal easier.

Hungary's run so far has been really surprising for many people but I don't see it that way. Because most of the favourites aren't caring about this tournament properly and they only use this as a preparation opportunity for the World Cup. If Hungary win today they are qualifying for the playoffs. But I think this time we will see a better performance from Germany unlike their first match. Germany don't have an odd worth betting on though (1.31). But I might combine it with my England choice.

Bit surprise for bigger odds to Italy because match held on San Siro as Italy home match, looking on UEFA Nation League standing group 3 Italy have great achievement than England were Italy won 1 of 4 games, different with England never won of 4 games with 2 draw. Little mistake maybe by giving bigger odds for Italy than England usually home team always get small odds than away team. Italy favorite to win in this games depending they play in front of their fans and have bigger expectation after failure pass to World Cup 2022 and UEFA Nation League could be recovery way for Italy get great achievement.

[fzkto]

Germany must beat Hungary, not only to get to the top of the group, but because they are stronger than Hungary and must show their class, especially as the World Cup is about to start. I can't make any predictions about Italy's match with England because they both play badly in this group. I'll try to guess that Italy will win because they don't have any competition in the near future and they need to show they're still alive.

Yes, Hungary plays a stable football also right I think their defense is really good but even if it's hard Germany will beat Hungary. There are 1.39 odds and I'm considering taking this risk, and I'm thinking of adding a bet for the match between Italy and England. I haven't fully checked the England roster, but I think they will be on the field with a really good starting eleven for this match, I will add this match, there is 2.40 odds. Let's see, it's almost time for the games to start.

Italy left without a World Cup, they will have to focus on other tournaments. Of course, the League of Nations is a tournament without a big status, but if such a situation has happened, then you need to achieve success in the current tournament. Germany can refer to these matches as a preparation for the World Cup, I looked at the starting line-up of Germany, it seems that Flick wants to win this match, but Hungary has already proved that this tournament is interesting for them and they are quite dangerous.
