Hello gang! The AFCON Qualifiers and the Nations League are on the agenda for the next few days. Here are my tips for the first matches.
Croatia v Spain – Thursday 15 November – Nations League – BET HERE
It’s hard to bet against Spain considering they beat Croatia 6-0 back in September. Victory will ensure that they finish top of their group and they’re in good form with three wins in four matches since the World Cup. Croatia have only won one game in 90 minutes since the World Cup group stage and haven’t managed to score yet in the Nations League. I see an Away Win.
Match Tip: Over 2.5 Goals
Mr. Predictor’s Verdict: Croatia 1 v 2 Spain
Egypt v Tunisia – Friday 16 November – AFCON Qualifiers – BET HERE
It was a poor World Cup for Egypt, who lost all three of their matches in Russia, but they have won all three of their matches since. Tunisia are on a four-game winning run and have beaten the Pharaohs in four of their last five meetings. Both teams have scored in seven of their last ten away games, so I think they’ll get a Draw here.
Match Tip: Both Teams to Score
Mr. Predictor’s Verdict: Egypt 1 v 1 Tunisia
Morocco v Cameroon – Friday 16 November – AFCON Qualifiers – BET HERE
Morocco have won nine of their last ten AFCON qualifiers on home soil and have only conceded once during that run. They’re unbeaten so far in qualifying, as have Cameroon, who have drawn two and won one. There have been Under 2.5 Goals in all of the Indomitable Lions’ last ten away qualifiers, and I think they’ll struggle to score here. I’m backing the hosts.
Match Tip: Under 2.5 Goals
Mr. Predictor’s Verdict: Morocco 1 v 0 Cameroon
Netherlands v France – Friday 16 November – Nations League – BET HERE
Both of these sides have done well in a very tough group. Netherlands recorded a win over Germany last time out and will avoid relegation with another victory here. France only need a point to assure top spot, which is achievable considering they’re unbeaten in 15 matches. Both teams have scored in four out of five games for both sides, including their meeting two months ago which Les Bleus won 2-1. I’m going for a Draw this time.
Match Tip: Both Teams to Score
Mr. Predictor’s Verdict: Netherlands 2 v 2 France
Wales v Denmark – Friday 16 November – Nations League – BET HERE
I can’t see many goals here. There have been Under 2.5 Goals in seven of Wales’ last ten matches, as well as in nine of their last ten for Denmark. The visitors are yet to concede in the Nations League after two matches, but Wales know that they can’t finish bottom after two wins against Ireland. I expect a low-scoring Draw.
Match Tip: Under 2.5 Goals
Mr. Predictor’s Verdict: Wales 1 v 1 Denmark
