Several of Europe's World Cup hopefuls will look to edge closer to next year's finals this weekend, and we've picked out four football tips from Sunday’s group matches.
BOYLE Sports customers can Back Yourself by adding more selections, but this acca would provide a 18/1 pay-out.
Germany vs Northern Ireland
Germany To Win With Over 3.5 Goals @ 6/5
Germany may not be the same formidable force they once were on the international stage, but they remain the kings of qualifying, and we expect them to continue their bid for next year's World Cup with a convincing win over Northern Ireland.
Julian Nagelsmann's team suffered double disappointment in the Nations League this summer, losing to both Portugal and France on home soil, but they claimed big wins over Scotland, Hungary and Bosnia as hosts last year and could do similar damage to Northern Ireland's Group A goal difference in Cologne.
Belgium vs Kazakhstan
Belgium To Win With Over 3.5 Goals @ 10/11
Belgium made a sluggish start to their World Cup qualifying campaign, drawing in North Macedonia before surviving a big scare against Wales, where they led 3-0 inside 30 minutes but then needed an 88th-minute Kevin De Bruyne goal to snatch a 4-3 win. But we think they will find life a little easier against Kazakhstan at Anderlecht's Lotto Park.
The nation sitting 114th in the FIFA rankings have found life tough on the road in recent years, suffering heavy defeats to the likes of Belarus, Norway, Austria and Greece, and we think Belgium could add to their misery even without injured record scorer Romelu Lukaku.
Poland vs Finland
Poland To Beat Finland @ 11/20
Finland defeated Poland 2-1 at home in June, but we're backing Jan Urban's men to gain their revenge in Chorzów on Sunday. Finland's victory left them with seven points from their opening four games as they battle with the Netherlands and Poland for a top-two spot in Group G, but that was only their fourth win over the Poles in 20 meetings, and we're not expecting them to repeat it.
Poland have won their last three home matches, and with captain Robert Lewandowski presumably raring to go after barely 30 minutes of first-team action for Barcelona this season, Finland could be facing a testing night.
Turkey vs Spain
Spain To Beat Turkey With Both Teams To Score @ 2/1
Spain last failed to qualify for the World Cup way back in 1974, and we expect them to boost their bid to reach next year's finals with a victory in Turkey. The 2010 world champions boast some of the top talent on the planet and will be eager to add to their success at Euro 2024, especially having been denied Nations League glory this summer following a penalty shoot-out defeat to rivals Portugal.
However, Turkey will also be looking to get their qualifying campaign off to a good start in their opening home match, and, while we think La Roja will take the three points, we can see Vincenzo Montella's men posing problems, and they could get on the scoresheet against a Spain side that haven't kept a clean sheet in their last five matches.
