Both the Netherlands and Spain have splendid records in the Nations League and we should expect a very interesting game. The two teams are known for scoring goals and making impressive moves within the opponent's box.  However, we expect Spain to have a slight edge over the Dutch team having won 13 of their last 15 international games within regulation time. 

Prediction: The match could see at least 2 goals with Span either winning or drawing the game. 

Italy vs Germany predictions

The German side have enjoyed an unbeaten run since their last defeat to Spain in July at Euro 2024. Italy on the other hand will be thirsty for revenge, following the 5-2 defeat they suffered in the hands of the visitors during their last encounter in June 2022. And since the two teams are used to scoring each other, we can expect at least a goal from each side. 

Prediction: With a long history of scoring and conceding goals from each other, we expect both teams to score.

Denmark vs Portugal predictions

This match is very straightforward. Denmark has failed to win any of their last four matches while Portugal won all their group matches. Although we expect Denmark to put up a fight in front of their home fans, Portugal will still take the day. 

Prediction: As straightforward as it can be. Portugal to win. 

Croatia vs France predictions

The return of star player Kylian Mbappe and the excellent form of Ousmane Dembele will give Les Bleus the momentum to perform well in this clash. However, Croatia with the support of their fans will not make it easy for the French side. At the end of the day, any team that maximizes their chances will come out triumphant. 

Prediction: The game can go either way but France has an advantage over the Croatian side. Bet over 1.5 goals. 

Each match prediction is based on the team's recent form and their previous encounter. Factors such as injuries and late tactical change in formation by the manager can greatly impact the game's outcome.
