England vs Latvia
John Pentin; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
After a composed 2-0 success over Albania, England now turn their attention to Latvia in a match they are expected to dominate from start to finish. Thomas Tuchel’s side monopolised possession on Friday and showed defensive steel throughout. Though the scoreline remained respectable, England looked like a side capable of much more. Latvia, by contrast, scraped past Andorra despite allowing several attempts on goal, and they lack the firepower or depth to offer resistance at Wembley.
The visitors have failed to find the net in six of their last ten matches on foreign soil. England, with the likes of Jude Bellingham pushing forward and Harry Kane in relentless form, should deliver a convincing performance. The Three Lions are unbeaten at home in World Cup qualifying for 24 years, and that trend should extend with another comprehensive display here.
Best bet – England to win both halves
Over 2.5 Goals | |
10/11 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Sweden’s firepower and England’s recent goal spree make this quarter-final a candidate for fireworks. Both sides prefer an attacking style and are more vulnerable defensively than the group table suggests. | |
Albania vs Andorra
Steve Harrington; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Albania’s outing against England may have ended in defeat, but they displayed moments of attacking intent late on and will be eager to bounce back against an Andorra side with limited ambition and little attacking threat. The hosts have a realistic chance of finishing second in their group and must take maximum points from games like these.
Andorra are winless in 16 competitive outings and have struggled to even register shots in recent matches. Their last trip to Albania ended in a comprehensive defeat, and they have never scored more than once in a World Cup qualifier away from home. With Armando Broja likely to feature from the off and Albania needing a statement win to build confidence, expect a one-sided affair.
Best bet – Albania -1.5 Asian handicap
Over 2.5 Goals | |
11/8 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Partizan’s urgency to overturn a first-leg deficit coupled with AEK’s away-day defensive frailties points towards another entertaining contest. With both sides capable in attack but suspect at the back, goals look certain. | |
Poland vs Malta
Wolfgang Shotten; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Despite a narrow win over Lithuania, Poland showed signs of dominance, registering 24 attempts at goal. Michal Probierz’s men are still building rhythm after a rough Nations League campaign but should be more clinical against Malta. The visitors managed to keep things tight against Finland but rarely posed a threat and now face a step up in quality.
Malta have leaked 13 goals in their last four away matches, and Poland – spearheaded by Robert Lewandowski – should punish any defensive lapses. A clean sheet in their previous outing also marked an improvement in Poland’s defensive setup, and they’ll aim to carry that forward. With deeper squad options and sharper attackers, the hosts are expected to control the match from kick-off to final whistle.
Best bet – Poland to win to nil
Both Teams To Score | |
8/13 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning After an entertaining 2-2 draw in the first leg, both teams should find the net again. Neither backline has shown stability, and with attacking momentum on both sides, BTTS is likely. | |
Lithuania vs Finland
Gram Dodd; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Although Finland are the stronger side on paper, their defensive performances have left a lot to be desired. They’ve conceded in all but one of their last 12 games, and Lithuania – while struggling in terms of results – have still managed to find the net at home. Edgaras Jankauskas’s side caused Poland a few problems before eventually falling short, and they have scored in eight of their last nine home fixtures.
Finland, meanwhile, rely heavily on individuals like Pohjanpalo and Antman to unlock defences, but their back line is yet to gel under new boss Jacob Friis. This clash looks ripe for goals at both ends, with Lithuania capable of at least one, even in defeat.
Best bet – Both teams to score
Universidad de Chile to Win & Over 2.5 Goals
| |
7/5 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Universidad are flying at home and meet a Guarani side missing key players and form. With both teams leaning towards attack, La U should take control and deliver a high-scoring victory. | |
Monday’s Super Double
Combine these two extra selections for a Monday double worth exploring:
Albania vs Andorra – Under 3.5 total goals
England vs Latvia – Jude Bellingham to score anytime
Bellingham was threatening throughout against Albania and will relish more freedom against Latvia’s porous defence. Meanwhile, Albania may dominate Andorra but tend to keep their games relatively tight. These two selections offer value, with one focused on individual quality and the other on tactical conservatism in what could be a routine win.
Thursday’s Super Double | |
10/1 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning England's quality in the final third has grown with each match and they’ll look to press early. Partizan are in must-score mode at home and are expected to come out firing from the start. Combining these two value picks gives a high-potential double for Thursday’s action. | |
