Football betting tips for today

Don't expect another boring shutout. While France usually chokes the life out of games under Zidane, they just leaked a frustrating goal to Italy. De Bruyne is in supreme, electric form after his brilliant brace against Turkey. Both teams find the net.

Romania lost all three games in the UEFA Nations League, while allowing 12 goals. They will also miss their starting central defenders, which will only increase their defensive problems. On the other hand, Sweden won seven points in their first three games and beat Romania 2:1 in the H2H match. 

Both teams are very good defensively. Both sides conceded three goals in three Nations League rounds. Also, in the previous H2H match, it was 0-0. We are not likely to see more than two goals in the upcoming tie. 

Hungary kept successive clean sheets against Northern Ireland and Georgia, while Ukraine have scored only once in three group games. With both teams struggling to score, BTTS - No looks like a solid value selection.

With several influential Turkish attackers also unavailable, another efficient Italian performance looks likely. Italy's recent matches have generally been low-scoring. Two of their last three games finished with fewer than 2.5 goals, including the 2-0 defeat to Belgium and 1-1 draw with France.

Georgia's attack is desperate to break a 5-match goalless drought across all competitions, and stars like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Georges Mikautadze are too dangerous to remain quiet for long. Northern Ireland have scored 4 goals in their last 3 group games and look confident at home. While the hosts kept 3 consecutive clean sheets, Ballard’s injury compromises their backline, paving the way for both teams to find the net at Windsor Park.

With Cyprus unbeaten in their four meetings with Latvia, another tight match is expected, with a narrow win for the home side as the most plausible outcome. Latvia have lost the majority of their away matches in international competitions over the last three to four years, only securing wins against European minnows such as Gibraltar and Andorra. 

History repeats itself. Les Bleus own this specific border rivalry with six consecutive competitive wins over their neighbors. Belgium freezes when they face the French midfield press. I’m backing the home side to get the job done.

Romania lost all three games in the UEFA Nations League, while allowing 12 goals. They will also miss their starting central defenders, which will only increase their defensive problems. On the other hand, Sweden won seven points in their first three games and beat Romania 2:1 in the H2H match. 

The Brave Falcons are flying high on a three-game winning streak. Mirko Vučinić’s men hold all the momentum while Armenia lost six of their last seven competitive games. I honestly don't see the visitors stopping this red-hot home side.

Bosnia and Herzegovina have two draws in their last three matches. Poland, meanwhile, has drawn twice in their last four games. Also, the previous meeting between the two sides ended 0-0. Another draw is very possible on Monday night. 

Neither team is particularly efficient going forward, with both lacking the ability to create scoring chances. Latvia have scored just once so far and failed to find the net in five of their last seven away internationals.

Don't expect another boring shutout. While France usually chokes the life out of games under Zidane, they just leaked a frustrating goal to Italy. De Bruyne is in supreme, electric form after his brilliant brace against Turkey. Both teams find the net.

Both teams scored in four of Romania's last five games. They failed to score only in the last game against Poland, when they received an early red card. Meanwhile, both teams scored in all three of Sweden's UEFA Nations League games. 

Montenegro’s defense is a leaky faucet that hasn't kept a clean sheet in nine straight competitive matches. Don't expect them to start now. Armenia is desperate for points and always finds a way to score, having already breached this backline twice just days ago. Take both teams to find the net.

Bosnia and Herzegovina are scoring regularly at home. They scored at least one goal in seven of the previous eight games at home. On the other hand, Poland have scored in the last seven matches. We should expect goals on both sides on Monday in Zenica. 

Hungary kept successive clean sheets against Northern Ireland and Georgia, while Ukraine have scored only once in three group games. With both teams struggling to score, BTTS - No looks like a solid value selection.

Turkey have been creating chances on a regular basis but have struggled to convert most of them. They failed to score against both France and Belgium, and there is little reason to suggest that the same could not happen again on Monday.

Georgia's attack is desperate to break a 5-match goalless drought across all competitions, and stars like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Georges Mikautadze are too dangerous to remain quiet for long. Northern Ireland have scored 4 goals in their last 3 group games and look confident at home. While the hosts kept 3 consecutive clean sheets, Ballard’s injury compromises their backline, paving the way for both teams to find the net at Windsor Park.

Forget the recent low-scoring trends. These squads have too much attacking fire to stay quiet, especially with Olise pulling the strings and Belgium tearing teams apart on the road. I remember their wild five-goal thriller in 2021. This one easily clears the line.

Romania went over 2.5 goals in all three games, with 12 goals conceded. Meanwhile, Sweden went over 2.5 goals in two out of their three UEFA Nations League games. Moreover, the first h2h game between these teams went over 2.5 goals.

This rivalry is pure chaos. Four of their last five meetings cleared this line easily, averaging a wild four goals per game. Montenegro's last seven consecutive matches ended with at least three goals on the scoreboard.

It has already been mentioned that neither team is particularly capable of creating many goalscoring opportunities, but both remain relatively solid defensively at this level of competition. Under 2.5 goals has landed in the majority of their matches in this UEFA Nations League campaign, including Cyprus' last two matches and Latvia's first two fixtures.

Both teams are very good defensively. Both sides conceded three goals in three Nations League rounds. Also, in the previous H2H match, it was 0-0. We are not likely to see more than two goals in the upcoming tie. 

With several influential Turkish attackers also unavailable, another efficient Italian performance looks likely. Italy's recent matches have generally been low-scoring. Two of their last three games finished with fewer than 2.5 goals, including the 2-0 defeat to Belgium and 1-1 draw with France.

Recent statistical trends heavily favor a low-scoring encounter in Belfast. Northern Ireland have conceded 0 goals in 3 Nations League fixtures this campaign, utilizing a disciplined defensive structure. Georgia have struggled immensely in the final third, failing to score a single goal in their 3 group matches. Their previous meeting ended in a tight 1-0 victory for Michael O'Neill's side, suggesting another cagey, defensive tactical battle.

Bosnia-Herzegovina are unbeaten in their first three Nations League matches, but they have drawn two of them. Their last three home games have also finished level after 90 minutes, and they may take a cautious approach knowing that avoiding defeat keeps them ahead of Poland in the group.

Poland scored six against Romania, but they will be without suspended Robert Lewandowski, who scored a hat-trick in that victory. Their away form has also been poor, with just two wins from their last eight matches on the road.

Bosnia and Herzegovina have two draws in their last three matches. Poland, meanwhile, has drawn twice in their last four games. Also, the previous meeting between the two sides ended 0-0. Another draw is very possible on Monday night. 

Hungary have been in solid form, losing only one of their last seven matches. With Ukraine’s confidence potentially damaged by their shock 3:0 defeat against Northern Ireland, I fancy the visitors to avoid defeat.

Northern Ireland enter this fixture unbeaten at the top of Group B2, picking up 7 points from 3 matches. However, Georgia are fighting for survival at the bottom with 1 point and will be highly motivated under Ramaz Svanadze after sacking Willy Sagnol. In the reverse fixture, Georgia dominated with 22 shots and 62% possession, only losing to a 99th-minute goal. With the hosts missing key defender Dan Ballard, Georgia can bounce back to snatch a draw or an away win.

Recent results suggest one goal could prove decisive on Monday. With Ukraine reeling from a shock defeat against Northern Ireland, Hungary could gain revenge for last week’s 1:0 loss in Budapest.

Turkey have lost all three UEFA Nations League matches so far, despite accumulating higher-than-average xG figures, but ultimately failing to convert their chances. With Italy's pragmatism and home advantage, coupled with the absence of Arda Güler through suspension, the Azzurri should see this game out relatively comfortably.
