Wednesday Nations League Tips: Italian job will be completed

Dan Fitch is backing Italy to make it to the semi-finals of the Nations League, as he previews the pick of Wednesday's international matches.

If Austria look short here it's for a good reason. The entire Norwegian squad have been told to self-isolate after a positive Covid-19 test and were denied permission to play away in Romania over the weekend.

It seems as if the Norwegian FA are now trying to put together a team that can compete in this match, comprised of the U21 side and other eligible players not selected in the original squad. Under the circumstances, over 3.5 goals should land at 2.0.

Belgium home form will continue

Belgium 1.71 v Denmark 5.8; The Draw 3.95

This match will decide who wins Group A2 and goes through to the semi-finals, with Belgium just needing to avoid defeat to ensure that they stay on top.

Belgium's 2-1 win over England extended their unbeaten home record to 24 games (W19 D5), with the side last losing on Belgian soil back in 2016. Denmark have done well to get themselves into contention, but Belgium should win this at 1.71.

Reliable Italians will get the job done

Bosnia 9.6 v Italy 1.4; The Draw 5.2

Italy beat Poland 2-0 on Sunday and now need a win to guarantee that they top Group A1 and make the last four of the Nations League.

They are now unbeaten in 21 games (W16 D5). Italy kept clean sheets in 14 of these games, including the reverse fixture against Bosnia. Back Italy to win to nil at 2.5.

Goals will flow

Hungary 2.94 v Turkey 2.64; The Draw 3.5

Both teams have built up a decent unbeaten record, with Hungary having not lost in five games (W3 D2) and Turkey having gone six games without a defeat (W1 D5).

Turkey beat Russia 3-2 on Sunday, which was their fifth consecutive match in which both teams scored. You can back both teams to score at 1.74.

Home side are difficult to beat

Poland 3.8 v Netherlands 2.1; The Draw 3.8

Poland are being underestimated here. Their 2-0 away defeat against Italy, was their first loss after an unbeaten spell of five games (W4 D1). At home they are unbeaten in nine (W7 D2).

Netherlands won 3-1 at home to Bosnia over the weekend, to end a sequence of five games without a win (D3 L2). Both teams have a chance of winning Group A1, so this should be competitive. Poland are 1.81 to avoid defeat in the Double Chance market.

Motivated teams will produce goals

Serbia 2.82 v Russia 2.74; The Draw 3.2

Serbia are bottom of Group B3, but have a chance of avoiding relegation if they beat a Russian side that are top of the group and need a win to guarantee promotion.

So neither team should be lacking in motivation. Both teams to score has landed in five of their last seven games for both Serbia and Russia. It can be backed to be successful again at 1.92.
