As he showed in the World Cup, Romelu Lukaku doesn’t need much time on the pitch to make an impact.
He has a knack for scoring goals, and although Belgium doesn’t have much betting support at $3.10, they are the better team in this matchup, and Lukaku could give them a much-needed goal on the road.
Italy at $2.20 doesn’t interest us, especially given their form over the last few years.
France should beat Turkiye, as the $1.44 odds suggest, but we’re looking for better value. We’ve landed on France halftime/fulltime as our best bet for this game.
France has a wealth of goal-scoring options, and they could have an early impact. Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele should rifle some shots at the opposing goalkeeper in the first half, and they should convert.
Turkiye could be caught off guard, and France will be looking to hammer home an early advantage before winning the game.
Croatia could be a sneaky chance in the UEFA Nations League, and an opening win over Czechia is on the cards.
Czechia played solidly in the World Cup, but we don’t rate them nearly as highly as Croatia, who have good attacking options and a solid defensive line. That should be enough to see them win on the road.
It’s not easy to win in Czechia, but the $2.15 odds are enticing.
Our UEFA Nations League tips include England to send a statement to the rest of the opposition.
They have a tough first game to get things started against the World Cup champions, but playing at home helps, and England has the players needed to come away with the victory, including Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane.
It’s a matter of faith when backing England, but the $2.75 odds are worth taking.
