Any big surprises in the WC Qualifiers?

It’s time for a break from club football, as focus shifts to the upcoming WC qualifiers and international football. With plenty of big games to keep an eye on, let’s take a look at the upcoming action!

Thursday and Friday Action

Georgia host Türkiye early on Thursday in one of the first qualifiers of the day, with the latter hoping to make it to their first WC since 2002. The visitors are odds favourites in this one, which kicks off Group E, a group also consisting of Bulgaria and Spain, who play later Thursday evening.

Lithuania are odds favourites at home to Malta, while Germany and Northern Ireland are odds favourites away at Slovakia and Luxembourg, respectively.

Netherlands host Poland Thursday evening, with Lewandowski expected to lead the line under their new manager, and Belgium are huge odds favourites away at Liechtenstein.

Moving on to Friday, Denmark – Scotland is an interesting fixture, with Hojlund hoping to prove himself after his transfer to Napoli and his Napoli teammate McTominay a possible match winner for Scotland. Sweden are odds favourites away at Slovenia, a match that could feature 3 of the most talked about strikers this summer, Sesko, Gyokeres and Isak.

Italy are expected to beat Estonia comfortably at home, while Croatia, France, Czechia and Switzerland are huge favourites in their games as well.
