PORTUGAL V FRANCE
7.45pm Now that the Euro 2020 (or now 2021!) Playoffs are over, attention turns back to the Nations League for the next few days and we have some excellent fixtures ahead. Portugal hosting France is the highlight fixture on Saturday and it’s fantastic that all football bets are 0% commission on BETDAQ Betting Exchange! Both these sides are going well at the top of Group A3 with ten points each and with only two matchday’s left this fixture could decide who tops the Group and heads to the Nations League Finals.
France suffered a shock 2-0 loss at home to Finland in their warm-up fixture for this game. Finland have beaten the Republic of Ireland twice recently but I don’t think anyone seen that coming! While Portugal beat Andorra 7-0 which would have been a nice confidence booster given they have struggled to score at times. This should be an excellent fixture, and while it’s not a surprise to see an open market I feel France are too big here at 3.25. Portugal are a good side, but I wouldn’t have them as short as 2.5 to beat a side like France and I’m happy to take a small chance to go with the French win. A Portugal lay might be an option for some, but it’s the France win at 3.25 for me.
The Ultra Says:
One point win France to beat Portugal at 3.25 on BETDAQ Betting Exchange

GERMANY V UKRAINE
7.45pm It’s a huge night in Group A4 and we have some fascinating fixtures ahead over the next few days. Germany have to play Spain on the final day next week, but Ukraine managed a 1-0 win over Spain in the last round of fixtures to blow this Group wide open. Germany have drawn with Switzerland twice along the way, meaning that there’s only one point between Germany, Spain and Ukraine heading into tonight. With Germany and Spain playing on the final day anything is possible, but Ukraine need a result here if they are going to reach the Finals.
It’s fair to say that Germany haven’t been seen at their best in this Group. However, perhaps that is just a sign of the times. They have been going through a transitional period for a few years, but with Bayern Munich winning the Champions League and looking strong they are likely to benefit from that going forward with young talent coming through the ranks. Ukraine have proven to be a very solid team in a very tough Group, and while they might not get the result they need tonight I feel that they will keep things very tight. Under 2.5 goals is 2.86 and that looks worth a small investment.
The Ultra Says:
One point win Under 2.5 goals at 2.86 on BETDAQ Betting Exchange

SWITZERLAND V SPAIN
7.45pm The other massive game in Group A4 tonight is Switzerland hosting Spain. In the last round of fixtures, Spain really let their grip on this Group slip. With Germany drawing twice against Switzerland, Spain basically had the Group won. They still have a one point advantage and a win here could land them the Group depending on what Germany do against Ukraine but they have left themselves work to do after being in a very strong position. Switzerland have been the worst team in a very strong Group, and look certain to go down to League B. Spain have to win, even though they do have home advantage against Germany next week.
Spain played out a tight affair with the Netherland earlier in the week ending with a 1-1 draw. That should leave them spot on for tonight, and the 1.93 on them looks very good value. Switzerland lost against Belgium 2-1 in a friendly, and while they are a solid side who shouldn’t be wrote off, Spain look at least ten ticks too big for me at 1.93. They look the best bet of the night.
The Ultra Says:
Three points win Spain to beat Switzerland at 1.93 on BETDAQ Betting Exchange
