UEFA NATIONS LEAGUE: We preview Saturday’s UEFA Nations League matches between ALBANIA v SCOTLAND and ITALY v PORTUGAL with recommended BETDAQ bets.
ALBANIA V SCOTLAND
7.45pm This is a huge game for after losing 2-1 to Israel and that result has really opened up Group C1. Israel now top the Group with six points while both of these sides sit on three – obviously the loser will be in massive danger of relegation and for Scotland that would be hugely embarrassing. They’ve had a very poor year though with six losses from their eight games and their lack of goals has been a killer for them.
The match odds at the time of writing currently trade; Albania 3.35, Scotland 2.54 and the draw is 3.2. While Scotland are having a poor year – it would be very unwise to simply blindly lay them here as Albania are so poor too. These sides met recently and Scotland ran out 2-0 winners; with home advantage. Obviously home advantage for Albania will bring the sides closer together however Albania have only score two goals in six games. We can see this being quite a low standard and possibly a 0-0 result too. However we’re happy to back the draw at 3.2 which looks the value.
BETDAQ BEST BET:
Draw at 3.2.

ITALY V PORTUGAL
7.45pm This is the highlight of the tonight from a class point of view and it will be very interesting to see can Italy beat this solid Portugal side. Things are nicely shaped in Group A3 too with Portugal on six points and Italy on four – Italy have played one game more so perhaps winning the Group is gone for them; however a win here would put the pressure on Portugal.
Italy are favourites with the match odds at the time of writing currently trading; Italy 2.26, Portugal 3.85 and the draw is 3.3. Portugal grinded out a 1-0 win when the sides met recently with home advantage and while the tables are turned this time around; Portugal have scored six goals in their last two away games. Those two games came against Scotland and Poland so this is obviously a big set up however we feel that Italy are too short here. We expect a much closer game than odds on 2.26 on Italy suggest and we have to lay them from a value point of view.
BETDAQ BEST BET:
Lay Italy at 2.26.
