When: 20:45 Where: European Championship World Cup Qualification, Europe
Netherlands The Dutch national team is one of the top teams in international football and has already won four medals in World Cups. Despite some absences, the “Oranje” have started the qualification successfully, including a 2-0 away win in Finland. This recalls their strong home form of recent years, where they almost exclusively dominated. Coach Ronald Koeman continues to rely on an offensive 4-3-3 formation, known for attractive football.
Malta Malta has always played the role of underdog in European qualification and has never reached the final of a tournament so far. The current coach Emilio De Leo has established a defensive style of play, but this has so far led to no goal success in the ongoing competition. Their only notable chance in the group stage lies in the fight for fourth place. However, the quality and experience of the team hardly suffice to meet the high demands in this duel.
Injuries The Netherlands are missing four players who were recently involved in the Nations League: Matthijs de Ligt, Brian Brobbey, Joshua Zirkzee, and Jurriën Timber, though none of them are regular starters. Malta must cope without Steve Borg, who was not called up to the squad this time.
Head-to-head meetings In qualification, the Netherlands and Malta have already met six times. The “Oranje” won all encounters and remained unbeaten without conceding a goal – an impressive record that underlines the clear inferiority of the Maltese team.
Match prediction The Dutch team plays strong offensive football at home and has often achieved high victories in recent qualification cycles, often with four or more goals difference. The Maltese defense is likely to be overwhelmed given the dominant attacking line of the Netherlands. Against this background, a bet on over 3.5 goals at odds of 1.50 is highly recommended, as a clear home win with many goals is expected.
My tip: Over 3.5 goals (1.50)

Latvia - Albania
When: 20:45 Where: World Cup Qualification Europe
Latvia The Latvian national team is under pressure if it wants to seriously compete for the second place in Group K. The results for Latvia have recently been unconvincing: out of the last seven games, only one win against Andorra was recorded, and a friendly match against Azerbaijan ended in a goalless draw. Although home advantage is a plus, the offense has recently lacked breakthrough power.
Albania Albania is considered the favorite for the second place in the group. The team coached by Sylvinho has more experience and gained valuable insights from participating in the last European Championship. Recently, Albania showed stability both in the home match against Serbia and in their overall play style, although their away record has weakened a bit lately. Albania is known for well-rehearsed set pieces and a flexible playing system.
Injuries Latvia is missing the injured striker Roberts Uldrikis, who is still in rehabilitation training. Albania, on the other hand, can field their best lineup with all key players available.
Head-to-Head Matches The direct encounters between Latvia and Albania have recently been characterized by strong defense, with few goals on either side. This suggests a balanced and tactically shaped match where no team was able to pull significantly ahead.
Match Prediction Due to the defensive orientation of both teams and the low scoring so far, a low-scoring game is to be expected. Latvia must act cautiously on defense due to the precarious league position, while Albania, as the favorite, will avoid taking too many risks to prevent counterattacks. With an experienced referee known to be relatively fair and issuing few cards, no hectic incidents or wild game developments are expected. Therefore, we recommend the bet "Under 2.5 Goals" with odds of 1.55 as a safe and sensible choice.
My Tip: Under 2.5 Goals (1.55)
Tip
Serbia - Andorra
When: 20:45 Where: Qualification for the 2025 FIFA World Cup
Serbia Serbia started the World Cup qualification disappointingly and had to settle for a goalless draw against Albania. Overall, the team has only managed two wins in the last twelve matches, with many games ending in draws. The team is considered a potential challenger to England for the direct World Cup spot but faces a tough task after the start to secure the second group position.
Andorra Andorra recently surprised by putting up a good fight against England, conceding only one goal over 50 minutes. Despite the defensive strength of the visitors, offensive weakness remains a big problem: the team has been waiting for a goal in official matches for over two years. The team is considered clearly inferior and is mainly known for its combative defensive work.
Injuries Serbia will have to do without defender Miloš Veljković and midfielders Marko Grujić and Kristijan Belić, who are all recovering from injuries. However, these players are not part of the first starting lineup. Andorra has no injured players and can compete at full strength.
Head-to-head encounters The direct duels between Serbia and Andorra have been characterized by Serbia's clear dominance. Given the differing levels of performance and recent statistics, an upset is highly unlikely.
Match prediction The hosts will do everything to make up for the slip-ups in the early qualification games and will clearly assert themselves against the underdog Andorra. Due to Serbia's offensive efforts and the defensive stability of the visitors, a match with at least three goals is likely. Therefore, the bet on Over 2.5 goals at odds of 1.30 is highly recommended.
My tip: Over 2.5 goals (1.30)
Tip
San Marino - Austria
When: 20:45 Where: FIFA World Cup Qualifiers Europe
San Marino San Marino continues to surprise in football and has impressively shown that they can hold their ground against stronger opponents with full commitment. They surprisingly finished first in their league in the Nations League and only narrowly lost 0-1 away to the group favorite Bosnia and Herzegovina. Despite the fact that staying above the last place is hardly possible, the players approach every game with great fighting spirit.
Austria After a long absence from the World Cup (since 1998), Austria is now aiming to return to the tournament. Following a narrow elimination in the Nations League playoff against Serbia, the Austrians started the World Cup qualifiers with an important 2-1 victory against a strong competitor, Romania. This match against San Marino should further push them towards the top of the group. Despite absences of key players, coach Ralf Rangnick’s team remains very competitive.
Injuries San Marino can field their full squad and goes into the game without injuries or suspensions. Austria, on the other hand, must do without their main goalkeeper Alexander Schlager and central defender David Alaba but already managed a successful game against Romania under similar conditions.
Head-to-Head In the only previous home game, San Marino faced Austria and at least scored an honorary goal even though they lost 1-2. This shows that they do not give up without a fight, even against stronger opponents. However, Austria has not yet celebrated an away win with a margin of more than three goals.
Match Prediction Given Austria’s offensive strength and San Marino’s tenacious but defensively vulnerable style, we expect a high-scoring match. Austria will try to extend their lead in the qualification group while San Marino will do everything possible to score at least one goal. Due to the match flow and the offensive ambitions of both teams, the bet on Over 3.5 goals with odds of 1.48 is highly recommended.
My tip: Over 3.5 goals (1.48)
Tip
Romania - Cyprus
When: 20:45 Where: World Cup Qualification Europe
Romania Romania is under great pressure in Group H. After three games, coach Mircea Lucescu's team has won only one match, making their chances of qualifying for the World Cup significantly more difficult. A victory is mandatory at home against Cyprus to keep realistic hopes for qualification alive. The team has suffered several setbacks, including defeats against Bosnia (0-1) and Austria (1-2), resulting in a tense standing in the table.
Cyprus Cyprus has three points from two games, having secured a win against one of Europe's smallest nations and most recently a 2-2 draw against Bulgaria. The visitors enter the match as underdogs and expect few chances to gain points against the stronger Romania. However, their squad is expected to be at full strength, which could still add excitement.
Injuries Romania will miss offensive midfielder Ianis Hagi due to an injury as he is still recovering. This is a significant loss, but the team has enough alternatives on the bench. Cyprus can count on their full squad.
Head-to-Head Last year, Romania and Cyprus met in the Nations League. Romania won both games convincingly, 3-0 and 4-1. This historical result suggests a clear superiority for the hosts this time as well.
Match Prediction This game is enormously important for Romania, so the hosts will do everything to improve their position in the table with a clear victory. Cyprus will not make life easy, but the higher quality and home advantage favor a controlled success for Romania. Since both teams have recently mostly played matches with under 3.5 goals, and the tendency towards disciplined play with few red cards and relatively moderate fouls is evident, a bet on "Under 3.5 Goals" is recommended. This safeguard is sensible given the game's importance and both teams' style of play, and with odds of 1.40, it is attractive.
My Tip: Under 3.5 Goals (1.40)
Tip
Bolivia - Chile
When: 10:00 PM Where: South America World Cup Qualifiers
Bolivia Bolivia has made things difficult for themselves by losing against Venezuela, but with three games remaining, they still have all chances to qualify for the World Cup. The home match in the Bolivian highlands is a big advantage, as the team has not lost at home in qualification for five games and has earned 11 points in that period.
Chile Chile hardly has any chance left to participate in the World Cup and is eight points behind the seventh place. The performance in the last matches has been poor, as they failed to score in the last three qualification matches, even though they only narrowly lost 0-1 at home against the strong Argentine team.
Injuries Bolivia must do without the suspended central defender Akin. Chile will miss their suspended captain Arturo Vidal in midfield, which is a significant loss.
Head-to-head In the first meeting of the qualification, Bolivia won away 2-1 against Chile. At home, Bolivia shows a strong performance and is unbeaten under the current coach.
Match forecast Due to the climatic conditions and strong home form, Bolivia is the clear favorite in this game. Chile has yet to win an away game and struggles both offensively and defensively. Therefore, we recommend placing a bet on a Bolivia win with odds of 1.60.
My tip: Bolivia to win (1.60)
Tip
Japan - Indonesia
When: 12:35 Where: Asian World Cup Qualification
Japan Japan has already qualified for the final tournament of the 2026 World Cup and is fielding a team with many debutants. Despite the lack of tournament motivation, they will do everything at home to excite their local fans. Their offensive power is reflected in 10 goals in 4 home games of this qualification, underlining their dominance.
Indonesia Indonesia has also qualified for the next round of World Cup qualification by finishing in the top 4. However, the class difference compared to Japan is clearly noticeable. In away games, they have already conceded 10 goals in 4 matches, indicating a vulnerable defense.
Injuries No specific injury information available.
Head-to-Head In the first encounter of this group stage, Japan won 4-0 against Indonesia. Furthermore, Japan has won the last three meetings each with a margin of at least two goals.
Match Prediction Given the previous results and Japan's offensive strength, a high-scoring match is expected. Indonesia has shown defensive weaknesses, and the Japanese team will give their all at home to win convincingly again. Therefore, the bet 'Over 2.5 goals' with odds of 1.43 is recommended as promising.
My tip: Over 2.5 goals (1.43)
Tip
Palestine - Oman
When: 20:15 Where: Asian World Cup Qualification
Palestine Palestine is under great pressure in this crucial match as they aim for a spot among the top four teams in the Asian World Cup qualification. Their last encounter against Oman ended in a narrow defeat, which makes this battle for a top-4 placement even more important. Palestine is expected to act cautiously and not rely on an offensive fireworks display from the start, in order not to neglect their defense.
Oman Oman currently holds fourth place in the standings and has only a one-point advantage over Palestine. They are under pressure not to lose to secure their spot in the top four. Oman has rarely suffered defeats in recent matchups against Palestine, which gives them additional confidence. It can be assumed that they will act with a lot of tactical discipline and expect a balanced game.
Injuries Currently there are no relevant injuries or absences reported for either team.
Head-to-Head In the last five encounters between Palestine and Oman, Oman has only been victorious once, with the last meeting ending 1-0 in favor of Oman in the first qualification match. The games were overall close and often characterized by tactical restraint.
Match Forecast Although expectations for a high-scoring game initially appear low, the importance of the match for both teams points to a rather open encounter. Palestine will try to score a goal, but Oman primarily wants to avoid losing, which increases the pressure and can create scoring opportunities for both sides. Therefore, due to the game's significance and dynamics, we recommend the bet Over 1.5 Goals with an attractive odds of 1.40.
My Tip: Over 1.5 Goals (1.40)

Iran - North Korea
When: 18:00 Where: Asian World Cup Qualification
Iran Iran has qualified early for the World Cup finals and is close to winning the group with a victory against North Korea. The team impresses with tactical discipline and a strong defense, highlighted by only three goals conceded at home in this qualification round. Furthermore, Iran secured a clear win in each of the last three encounters against North Korea.
North Korea North Korea is at the bottom of the table with zero wins and three points from nine games. The offense is weak, as shown by only two goals scored in four away matches. It will be extremely difficult for the visitors to score against the well-organized Iran.
Injuries No information about injuries is available; a full lineup is expected on both sides.
Head-to-Head In the last three matches between Iran and North Korea, Iran won every time. The hosts demonstrated stronger performances both defensively and offensively.
Match Prediction Due to Iran's strong defense and North Korea's offensive weakness, few goals are expected. The Iranian team will control the game, with North Korea unlikely to create many chances. My Tip: Both teams to score: No (1.53)
