Young Three Lions Can Take England to Nations League Final

Another big summer of football is about to begin for England. This won’t be as long as others, in fact, it will be over by Sunday, but there is at least one big game coming up for them, and a chance to win some silverware. Something that a lot of international teams struggle with is experience at winning big games and lifting trophies, unless they have a team full of successful club players. With the invention of the Nations League,

Home Advantage Can Take Portugal to Nations League Final

After a short break between the domestic leagues finishing and the international summer beginning, focus turns towards the Nations League this week. We have two semi finals on Wednesday and Thursday, followed by the final on Sunday where the first ever Nations League champion will be crowned. Portugal are hosting the event after winning the bid and that is going to give them an advantage that they will be looking to use over the coming days.

Portugal to Wrap Up Nations League Campaign in Style

The Nations League group stages come to an end on Tuesday night, with this game featuring Portugal and Poland the only game from the top tier. While it is the highest quality game on show, there is nothing to play for here for either team, Portugal have already won the group, while Poland are already confirmed as being relegated to the second tier.

France to Win Group Away to Netherlands on Friday

This week sees the end of the UEFA Nations League and many of the groups are very close going into the final games. League A1 is no different, and we are set for a fantastic finish, including what would be a potentially huge shock at the bottom of the table.

For France, this game against the Netherlands on Friday night is their last of the group, and if they get anything from it they will be crowned winners of the group and progress through to the final next June.

Croatia to Keep Group A4 Alive With Home Win on Thursday

We head into the final games of the Nations League group stage and on Thursday, the result between Croatia and Spain will either keep the group alive, or almost end it. As we stand going into the game, Spain are top of the table with one game to go and a three point cushion over England in second. Croatia are bottom, with two games still to play, and they are currently three points off England in their battle to avoid relegation.

France Look a Good Bet to Beat Germans on Home Soil

The big game on Tuesday sees the past two World Cup winners go head to head when France host Germany. This is a big game, and thanks to the UEFA Nations League we are seeing many more of these games, which is great for fans. Long gone are the list of uncompetitive friendlies against lower nations, and now we have a schedule jam packed with competitive, top class games, just like this one.

France currently sit top of the Nations League A1 table with a draw and a win from their opening two games,
