class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The last few meetings between these South American neighbours have been low-scoring affairs and that run should continue when they meet this week

Copa America champions Argentina face Paraguay as the Albiceleste look to continue their strong run of form in CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying.

Lionel Scaloni’s men sit second in the table, unbeaten in their last 12 qualifiers, and take on a Paraguay side who remain in the hunt for a spot at the World Cup despite recording just two wins from nine games in the current qualifying tournament. 

Paraguay vs Argentina latest odds

The most recent meeting between the sides came in June at the Copa America with Argentina triumphing by a 1-0 scoreline.

Another win for the two-time world champions can be backed at 4/7 (1.57) with bet365.

The last time the teams met on Paraguayan soil the game ended in a goalless draw in 2015 and another stalemate is on offer at 11/4 (3.75) with Paraguay clear outsiders at 5/1 (6.00). 

Paraguay vs Argentina team news

The hosts are without River Plate defender David Martinez and Brondby full-back Blas Riveros who have both pulled out of the squad.

The visitors for their part are missing Juventus forward Paulo Dybala who picked up a thigh injury in his side’s win over Sampdoria in Serie A.

Lionel Messi is included in the squad and expected to play a prominent part having started every match in the qualifying tournament so far. 

Paraguay vs Argentina preview

Last month saw Argentina claim convincing wins over Venezuela and Bolivia, the two bottom sides in the competition, although Paraguay should provide sterner opposition.

Eduardo Berizzo’s team have only lost at home to Brazil in the tournament and will be highly motivated against their more illustrious southern neighbours.

Paraguay have shown in recent years they are more than capable of frustrating Argentina and the record in this fixture over the last five meetings is extremely even: one win apiece and three draws.

While the visitors have more quality in their squad, they are likely to find it difficult to break down an organised side and backing another tight game looks appealing. 

Paraguay vs Argentina tips & predictions

Under 2.5 goals has paid out the last five times these nations have faced each other and is offered again at 4/6 (1.65).

Combining this selection with both teams to score ‘no’ sees the odds rise to an appealing evens (2.00).

Runaway leaders Brazil visit bottom team Venezuela for what is expected to be a one-sided contest in CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying.

Tite’s men have a perfect record in the tournament, winning all eight of their matches, in stark contrast to the north-west neighbours who sit bottom of the table with four points from a possible 27. 

Venezuela vs Brazil latest odds

The most recent meeting between the sides came at the Copa America where the five-time world champions ran out 3-0 winners.

Another Brazil victory is priced at 3/10 (1.30)  with bet 365 while the draw is available at 17/4 (5.25) . Venezuela have never beaten Brazil in an official match with their only success coming in a 2008 friendly.

It would be a major shock if La Vinotinto could pull off a win, with a home triumph offered at 8/1 (9.00) .

Venezuela vs Brazil team news

The hosts are without some of their most important attacking players, with forwards Salomon Rondon and Josezf Martinez both missing from the squad, along with midfielder Yangel Herrera.

Brazil are without Neymar for this game through suspension, while Roberto Firmino and Richarlison are out injured.

Last month Brazil were without nine Premier League players because of travel restrictions but players based in England have now been allowed to travel. 

Venezuela vs Brazil preview

Brazil have been in stunning defensive form during this qualifying campaign, having conceded just twice in eight games and that superb record is likely to continue.

Indeed those two goals came in the same game during a 4-2 win in Peru, meaning La Canarinha have kept seven clean sheets in eight matches, recording shut-outs in each of their last six World Cup qualifiers.

Against the weakest side in the tournament, who are missing some of their most dangerous attacking players, there should be plenty of interest in backing Brazil to claim another clean sheet in Caracas.

Venezuela vs Brazil tips & predictions

The visitors are offered at 4/5 (1.80) to keep a clean sheet and if we combine this selection with an away win the odds rise to a healthy looking evens (2.00) .

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Boys in Green have kept fans waiting for a breakthrough in recent matches, and Al Hain-Cole expects more late action against De Biasi's men

Republic of Ireland will be desperate for a morale-boosting victory when they travel to Baku to take on Azerbaijan for Saturday’s World Cup qualifier.

The Boys in Green are currently second from bottom in Group A, having lost three and won none of their opening five matches.

Azerbaijan vs Republic of Ireland latest odds

Without a victory in 13 competitive matches in all competitions, Ireland can be backed at 23/20 (2.15) with bet365 to finally have something to cheer about after coming out on top at the Olympic Stadium.

Gianni De Biasi’s men are bottom of the group with just one point to their name but Azerbaijan are on offer at 13/5 (3.60) to leapfrog their opponents by emerging victorious here.

The sides shared a 1-1 draw in the reverse encounter in Dublin, and you can get odds of 21/10 (3.10) on them cancelling each other out once again in this one.

Azerbaijan vs Republic of Ireland team news

Anton Krivotsyuk should return for the hosts at left-back after missing the 3-0 home defeat against Portugal due to suspension.

Alan Browne and Jayson Molumby are both suspended after an accumulation of yellow cards, while Ryan Manning has withdrawn from the squad due to injury and been replaced by Liam Scales.

Azerbaijan vs Republic of Ireland preview

Although they have secured only two points from the last three group games, Stephen Kenny’s team have provided plenty of drama during that spell.

Having led Portugal until the 89th minute before succumbing to two late Cristiano Ronaldo goals, they subsequently rescued a point against both Azerbaijan and Serbia with goals scored during the last five minutes.

In fact, each of their last five competitive fixtures has seen goals scored within the final five minutes of regulation time, meaning anyone tuning in on Saturday should be prepared to watch right up until the end.

Azerbaijan vs Republic of Ireland tips & predictions

In fact odds of 5/6 (1.83) offer decent value on a goal being scored after the 67th minute for Ireland’s sixth consecutive competitive game, as well as a third successive home match for Azerbaijan.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With everything to play for in the race for a play-off place, Al Hain-Cole expects a tight game between the Tartan Army and Ruttensteiner’s men

Scotland could take a major step towards the play-offs when they welcome Israel to Hampden Park for Saturday’s World Cup qualifier.

The Tartan Army are currently second in Group F, one point ahead of their visitors after six matches played.

Scotland vs Israel latest odds

Having lost just one of their last five games on home turf, Scotland are 9/10 (1.90) favourites with bet365 to establish a four-point cushion between themselves and third place by coming out on top here.

However, Willibald Ruttensteiner’s men are unbeaten in their last four fixtures against this opposition and Israel can be backed at 16/5 (4.20) to leapfrog them into the play-off spot with a victory in Glasgow.

Three of the last four encounters between this duo have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 23/10 (3.30) on them cancelling each other out once again in this one.

Scotland vs Israel team news

Grant Hanley is suspended after an accumulation of yellow cards, although Scott McTominay is back in contention after missing the last two qualifiers due to injury.

Hatem Elhamed is absent due to suspension for Israel, while Ariel Harush, Eitan Tibi, Orel Dganiand and Omer Atzili are all injured.

Scotland vs Israel preview

Having started this campaign with just one win from the opening four group games, Steve Clarke’s team put themselves in a strong position thanks to successive wins over Moldova and Austria.

However, they were certainly made to sweat for those six points, winning both by a narrow 1-0 margin and needing a penalty to score past the Austrians in Vienna.

In fact, they have only hit the net three times in their last six fixtures – a slightly worrying record as they prepare to take on a defence they have scored past just twice in the four most recent meetings over the last year.

With so much at stake, they will therefore aim to keep things tight and hope to shut down an Israel side that have failed to score in five out of the last 10 away fixtures.

Scotland vs Israel tips & predictions

All in all, odds of 3/4 (1.75) seem generous on no more than one team getting on target for Scotland’s seventh match in eight, as well as a third in four against Israel.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Recent encounters between Yakin's men and the Green and White Army have proved tense and tight games, and Al Hain-Cole expects more of the same

Northern Ireland will be hoping to leapfrog Switzerland into the World Cup qualification play-off places when they travel to Geneva on Saturday.

Ian Baraclough’s men are three points adrift of their hosts in third place in Group C, having taken five points from the opening four fixtures.

Switzerland vs Northern Ireland latest odds

After running out 4-1 winners in Lithuania in their last competitive away game, Northern Ireland are available at 10/1 (11.00) with bet365 to move into second spot with a big win at the Stade de Geneve.

However, Switzerland have only lost one of their last 34 World Cup qualification matches stretching back to 2008 and are clear 3/10 (1.30) favourites to move six points clear of their opponents by coming out on top here.

Three of the last four encounters between this pair have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 4/1 (5.00) on them cancelling each other out once again on this occasion.

Switzerland vs Northern Ireland team news

Gregor Kobel has withdrawn from the squad due to injury, while Granit Xhaka is also sidelined with a long-term knee injury.

Trevor Carson, Michael Smith, Alistair McCann, Corry Evans, Gavin Whyte and Shayne Lavery have all pulled out of the squad through injury and illness, although Paddy McNair is back in contention following suspension.

Switzerland vs Northern Ireland team news

Although a potentially decisive game in this group, this fixture is unlikely to attract too many neutral viewers tuning in hoping for goalmouth action.

Indeed, the seven previous meetings between this duo have produced a meagre total of six goals, with six of those games seeing no more than one goal scored and three of the most recent four finishing 0-0.

More of the same seems likely considering Murat Yakin’s team have seen only one goal at either end in their last three qualifiers and the Green and White Army have failed to score in three of their four group games but kept a clean sheet in two of the last three.

Switzerland vs Northern Ireland tips & predictions

Having held each other to a goalless stalemate only a month ago in Belfast, odds of 2/1 (3.00) represent excellent value on under 1.5 goals being scored for the sixth consecutive meeting between Switzerland and Northern Ireland.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Southgate's men have scored most of their goals after the break in recent matches, and Al Hain-Cole expects more late action in Andorra la Vella

England look set to get back to winning ways when they travel to the Estadi Nacional to take on Andorra in Saturday’s World Cup qualifier.

After four wins from their opening four Group I matches, the Three Lions were held to a 1-1 draw away in Poland last time out.

Andorra vs England latest odds

Having won all five of their previous encounters against this opposition – scoring 20 goals and conceding none – England are overwhelming 1/50 (1.02) favourites with bet365 to return to form by coming out on top in Andorra la Vella.

Koldo Alvarez’s Andorra are actually unbeaten in their last two home games but remain huge 40/1 (41.00) outsiders to pull off a shock victory against the Euro 2020 runners-up, or priced at 16/1 (17.00) to even earn a point.

Andorra vs England team news

Moi San Nicolas, Albert Alavedra and Marcio Vieira are all unavailable due to suspension for the home side, meaning 41-year-old captain Ildefons Lima is likely to start in the centre of defence.

Reece James and Kalvin Phillips have both withdrawn from the squad due to injury, with Ben Chilwell and James Ward-Prowse called up in their place.

Andorra vs England preview

While they eventually ran out comfortable 4-0 winners in the reverse encounter, Gareth Southgate’s side were made to work for that result by their underdog opponents.

Indeed, the scoreline remained at just 1-0 until the 72nd minute, when Harry Kane eventually doubled the advantage from the penalty spot.

This has been quite a recurring theme for England, who have scored just two of their last 12 goals in World Cup qualifiers before half-time.

It is likely to be a similar story against the Tricolors, who have only let in seven first-half goals in their last 10 fixtures but conceded 19 times in the second 45 during that run.

Andorra vs England tips & predictions

With Andorra set to dig in and frustrate an opponent that has one eye on the upcoming game against Hungary, odds of 10/11 (1.91) look like solid value on the majority of goalmouth action not taking place until after the break for the fourth encounter in five between these sides.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Allianz Stadium hosts this meeting between two of the best attacking sides on the continent, an encounter which should see goals at both ends

A place on the podium is up for grabs for Italy and Belgium when they meet in the UEFA Nations League third-place play-off on Sunday.

It is the fixture that neither side would have wanted to play yet defeats to Spain and France respectively in the semi-finals mean Roberto Mancini’s men will face Roberto Martinez’s side in a repeat of this summer’s Euro 2020 quarter-final. 

Italy vs Belgium latest odds

The Azzurri triumphed 2-1 in the most recent meetings between the sides in July and another Italy success can be backed at 11/10 (2.10) with bet365.

Belgium,  meanwhile, have lost four of their last five clashes with Italy and are offered at 5/2 (3.50) with the draw available at 23/10 (3.30) .

Italy vs Belgium Latest team news

The European champions are without Leonardo Bonucci after his sending off against Spain on Wednesday evening.

Belgium for their part are without Real Madrid forward Eden Hazard who picked up an injury in the defeat to world champions France.

It remains to be seen how seriously both managers approach the game or whether they use it as a chance to have a look at squad players. 

Italy vs Belgium preview

Belgium will come into the game the more deflated of the two sides having blown a two-goal lead against France, conceding a third goal in injury time just seconds after they had what they thought was the winning goal ruled out for offside.

Despite their disappointment, however, the Belgians should still be relied upon to find the back of the net, something they have done with extraordinary consistency over the last three years.

Indeed Martinez’s side are on a 39-match scoring streak in all competitions with the last time they drew a blank coming in their 1-0 World Cup semi-final defeat to France in July 2018.

Italy for their part have netted in 32 of their last 35 fixtures and still managed to look dangerous on the break in spite of Bonucci’s first-half red card.

Italy vs Belgium tips & predictions

Both teams to score is priced at 8/11 (1.73) and looks an obvious selection for a game involving these two free-scoring sides.

Backing goals at both ends in the first half is offered at 7/2 (4.50) and paid out the last time the teams clashed in July.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With both teams looking more comfortable in attack than defence, Al Hain-Cole expects an entertaining final between La Roja and Deschamps' men

Spain and France will go head-to-head for their first Nations League trophy when they meet in Milan for Sunday’s final.

Luis Enrique’s men overcame European champions Italy in their semi-final, with Ferran Torres scoring twice in a match that saw Loonardo Bonucci sent off.

Spain vs France latest odds

Having lost just one of their last seven games against this opposition, Spain are available at 19/10 (2.90) with bet365 to lift the trophy with another big win at San Siro.

France came back from 2-0 down to beat Belgium 3-2 in their semi-final and are slight 29/20 (2.45) favourites to follow that up with another victory.

Just one of the last 11 encounters between this pair has resulted in a draw, but you can get odds of 11/5 (3.20) on them taking the final into extra-time after a deadlocked 90 minutes.

Spain vs France team news

Match-winner Ferran Torres will face a late fitness test after coming off injured in the victory over Italy, with Yeremi Pino in line to replace him in attack should he fail to recover.

Lucas Digne has withdrawn from the squad with a hamstring injury, while N’Golo Kante is unavailable due to Covid-19.

Spain vs France preview

Having once again decided to go with his controversial back three against Belgium, Didier Deschamps will have been disappointed to see his side fall two goals behind within the first 40 minutes.

The World Cup-winning coach now has a decision to make over how he sets up a backline that has looked particularly fragile in recent games, keeping just one clean sheet in seven fixtures.

That vulnerability is sure to be tested by a Roja team that have not failed to find the net in nine games, scoring 22 goals in that time but keeping only two clean sheets in the most recent seven.

Spain vs France tips & predictions

With both sides looking much more impressive going forward than in defence, odds of 5/6 (1.83) look like solid value on both getting on target in a fittingly entertaining Nations League final on Sunday.

That bet would have paid out in six of France’s last seven outings, as well as five of the last seven for Spain.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The visitors have been in superb form and, having won the most recent clash against Reinaldo Reyna's men, Goal is backing another win for La Canarinha

Brazil aim to continue their relentless march towards qualifying for next year’s World Cup when they visit Colombia on Sunday evening.

Tite’s side have won all nine of their matches in CONMEBOL’s qualifying tournament to sit eight points clear at the top of the table and another win against Los Cafeteros would all but secure their spot at Qatar 2022.

Colombia vs Brazil latest odds

These sides met in the group stage of the Copa America this summer with Brazil scoring two late goals to come from behind and record a 2-1 win.

Colombia are unbeaten in 90 minutes in the seven games they have contested since that defeat and bet365 price them at 3/1 (4.00).

An away victory for Brazil can be backed at evens (2.00) with the draw at 21/10 (3.10).

Colombia vs Brazil team news

Reinaldo Reyna could make changes to the Colombian forward line with Duvan Zapata a possibility to replace either Radamel Falcao or Rafael Santos Borre who both started in the goalless draw with Uruguay.

The hosts have no major players missing though for the visit of the continent’s most in-form side.

Brazil for their part are without Casemiro who pulled out of the squad with a tooth problem, although Neymar should return having missed the win in Venezuela through suspension. 

Colombia vs Brazil preview

La Canarinha’s 3-1 win in Caracas on Thursday saw them concede only their third goal in nine qualifying matches.

Indeed, Brazil have kept seven clean sheets in the tournament so far, in stark contrast to Colombia who have managed just three shut-outs in 10 matches.

The visitors should be fancied to record another win given their form and quality, yet it should be a tight encounter in the humidity of the Caribbean city of Barranquilla, where Colombia generally tend to compete well against the continent’s most powerful footballing nations.

Brazil’s last visit ended in a 1-1 draw and backing another low-scoring game should appeal. 

Colombia vs Brazil tips & predictions 

Brazil to win and under 3.5 goals in the game is offered at 6/4 (2.50) and looks like an appealing option, one which has paid out in six of the Brazilians’ last seven World Cup qualifiers.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>This regional rivalry tends to produce tight matches and, with both teams in strong defensive form, opposing goals makes sense

The Estadio Monumental hosts an appealing fixture on Sunday as Argentina face neighbours Uruguay in CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying.

Lionel Scaloni’s side sit second in the table, three points ahead of La Celeste, although a win for the visitors in Buenos Aires could see them overtake their rivals. 

Argentina vs Uruguay latest odds

The last meeting between these sides came in the Copa America in June, with Argentina winning a tight game by a 1-0 scoreline.

Another success for the Albiceleste can be backed at 8/13 (1.61) with bet365 with the draw available at 5/2 (3.50).

Uruguay are winless against their more illustrious neighbours in their last five games and are offered at 5/1 (6.00) to end that run. 

Argentina vs Uruguay team news

The hosts will be led by Lionel Messi who is set to captain the side once more, with Inter forward Joaquin Correa likely to lead the line as he did in the goalless draw against Paraguay.

Argentina have no major injury concerns heading into the game, with Uruguay too boasting a clean bill of health.

Luis Suarez started against Colombia in the last game and he is likely to feature once more, with Edinson Cavani or Darwin Nunez possible candidates to partner him up front instead of Bryan Rodriguez. 

Argentina vs Uruguay preview

There is no love lost between these two international rivals and this fixture tends to produce tight, aggressive matches.

The visitors have kept four clean sheets in their last six qualifiers and will aim to keep things extremely tight once more against an Argentina side who were frustrated in Paraguay on Thursday.

Opposing a high-scoring game makes plenty of sense and Diego Godin will aim to mark his record-breaking 150th appearance in the heart of the Uruguay defence with another solid performance.

Argentina have also seemingly solved some of their defensive issues and their record of six clean sheets in nine matches is one of their best defensive runs in recent years. 

Argentina vs Uruguay tips & predictions

Under 2.5 goals and both teams to score ‘no’ is priced at evens (2.00) and looks to offer excellent value in what should be a close encounter.
