This will be a new-look Germany squad as new manager Jurgen Klopp has effectively named two squads for the Nations League games and that could lead to an open affair. Germany have gone seven games without a clean sheet and have only failed to score in one of their last 15 games. Both teams have scored in four of Serbia’s last five games and they have gone 11 without a shut-out so goals at both ends looks a strong play. We should see an improved Germany and they should be able to claim the points against this fairly average Serbia team. Serbia have suffered a pair of 2-1 Nations League defeats, to Greece and the Netherlands, so a 2-1 home win seems an obvious correct score prediction.

The Netherlands have an excellent record against Greece with nine wins in 11 meetings and can continue that dominance with three points on Thursday. The Dutch have hit the ground running under new manager Xavi after a draw with Germany and a 2-1 win over Serbia. They were unfortunate not to beat the Germans and could have won by a bigger margin against the Serbs, and those performances suggest they should have too much for Greece. Clean sheets have been an issue for the Dutch as they have gone 10 games without conceding. Greece are a tough side to break down and have only lost two of their last eight games, with both of those losses coming by one-goal margins. Take a chance on a 2-1 win for the visitors.

Israel have shipped six goals across 12 games, while Kosovo have conceded three and have scored twice themselves. Over 2.5 goals has landed in four of Israel’s last five and in three of Kosovo’s last four, so these teams should be able to combine for at least three goals.

Goals could be at a premium here as two sides with limited attacking options meet. Gibraltar’s last two games have finished 0-0 and there have only been two goals scored across their last four games against European rivals, none of which have been scored by them. Malta have recorded two clean sheets in their last three games and haven’t scored more than twice in any of their last 10 games so under 2.5 goals looks the best angle here.

Seven of Norway’s last eight games have seen at least three goals scored. Wales should be able to add to the goals total as Norway’s defence has looked suspect at times, and the visitors have the firepower to make this a fairly high-scoring affair.

Norway have three wins in their last six games and should be too strong for out of form Wales, who are on a three-game losing streak. Seven of Norway’s last eight games have seen at least three goals scored and Wales should be able to strike in defeat as Norway’s defence has looked suspect at times.

Joao Felix scored against both Wales and Norway and the Al-Nassr forward can keep that streak going by making it three goals in as many games when Portugal take on Denmark.

AZ Alkmaar striker Mexx Meerdink scored both of the Netherlands’ goals against Serbia, including one from the penalty spot. Meerdink has three goals in seven games for his club this season in the Eredivisie and can follow up his performance against Serbia with an anytime effort against Greece.

Man City forward Erling Haaland has scored in seven consecutive games for club and country, including three in two for Norway during the international break. He can continue his streak with a goal in Cardiff.

Ireland’s reaction after a 1-0 defeat to Kosovo deserves plenty of credit as they hammered Israel 3-0, and they can build on that positive performance by taking the game to Austria. The visitors have opened with a pair of wins but they are yet to keep a clean sheet and that streak is set to continue in Dublin.

Denmark failed to qualify for the World Cup as they lost a play-off to Czech Republic, having been denied automatic qualification by Scotland. They are in mixed form in general with just three wins in their last eight games. Defending champions Portugal have won their opening two Nations League games and have just one loss in their last 12, the visitors look capable of coming away with maximum points.

After snapping their winless run with a victory over Real Salt Lake, the Seattle Sounders claimed a 3-1 victory over Minnesota United last weekend. Sporting KC have lost 17 of their 26 matches this term, and they’ve conceded three or more in eight of their 10 away defeats.

Monaco have spent the last couple of seasons in the Champions League, losing 5-4 on aggregate to PSG in last season’s knockouts.

They’ve appointed former Flamengo boss Filipe Luiz as their new manager, and the former Chelsea defender has an impressive track record. He led the Brazilian side to their domestic title, and brought continental success in the Copa Libertadores.

Strasbourg reached the last four of the Conference League last term, and this Monaco side are capable of going even further under a highly-rated young manager.

City aren’t quite right yet under Enzo Maresca. They may well come good but Lens away was arguably the worst road trip from Pot 4 while Napoli and Leipzig represent stern tests from Pot 3. And then there’s PSG and Barcelona. Altogether a tough test.

The home game against Bodo/Glimt and trip to Slavia ought to be the bedrock of a campaign in which Dino Toppmoller’s impressive group – who have already beaten PSG in the French Champions Trophy – can emerge successfully.

Barcelona could easily lose in Paris, legitimately drop points at Galatasaray and at home to Man City. One more slip and the top eight could feasibly elude them.

PSV’s hammerings of Napoli and Liverpool last term were rare highs in an otherwise disappointing campaign. This season’s draw looks far kindlier for Peter Bosz and his Eredivisie big-hitters.

BVB came close to the top eight last season and have a great draw this year with Betis, AEK Athens, Sabah and even Inter Milan at home looks winnable.

Arsenal were flawless 12 months ago and should have no difficulty getting to the 16 points which are probably required.
