SCOTLAND v CZECH REPUBLIC
Scotland required the playoffs to qualify for Euro 2020 having finished 3rd in their group, they beat Israel and Serbia to book their spot.
Looking at more recent matches their World Cup 2022 qualifiers have seen them draw 2 and win 1 and in warm-ups they played to a 2-2 draw against the Netherlands and beat Luxembourg 1-0.
The Czech Republic finished 2nd in their group behind England with 3 losses and 5 victories. They had a 100% home record, but only won 1 game on the road. They have been a mixed bag in their World Cup qualifying campaign and their last game was a loss to Wales while in the warm-ups they were hammered 4-0 by Italy and beat Albania 3-1.

Scotland 19/10
Draw 2/1
Czech Republic 18/10
Suggested Bet: Scotland win at 19/10
Scotland to me has looked the more solid of the teams in recent months and I think they can get their campaign off to a flying start.
POLAND v SLOVAKIA
The first action in Group E sees Poland, take on Slovakia and they start as firm favourites.
Poland topped their qualification group which consisted of 4 other teams, losing just 1 match out of 10 and winning 8. Their most recent World Cup qualification match was a 2-1 defeat at England, but prior to that they had a win and a draw to their credit. In the warm-ups they have been solid, but not spectacular with draws against Russia and Ireland.
Slovakia reached Euro 2020 by means of the playoffs where they saw off Northern Ireland in extra time having previously beaten Ireland on penalties. They had finished 3rd in their group. They have had 2 draws and 1 victory in their World Cup qualifiers and a draw in both of their warm-up games against Bulgaria and Austria.

Poland 17/20
Draw 23/10
Slovakia 9/2
Suggested Bet: Both teams to score, YES, at 12/10
Poland tend to play in high scoring matches and this bet would have arrived in 4 of their last 5 games and 3 of the last 4 matches played by Slovakia.
SPAIN v SWEDEN
Spain topped their qualification group with an unbeaten record which saw them win 8 and draw 2. One of those draws was against Sweden on the road with Sweden going on to occupy the runner-up spot. They are undefeated over the last 3 months, drawing 1 and winning 2 of their World Cup qualification matches and in recent friendlies drew 0-0 with Portugal and beat Lithuania 4-0.
Sweden’s only loss in the qualification phase came to Spain away and they comfortably secured 2nd spot. They have won all 5 of their matches in the last 3 months, including World Cup qualifiers against Georgia and Estonia and recent friendlies against Finland and Armenia.

Spain 4/9
Draw 7/2
Sweden 15/2
Suggested Bet: The draw @ 7/2
It may have been back in 2019, but I believe the qualifiers showed there is not much between these sides and I give Sweden a very real chance of getting something. The (+1) Handicap is priced at 41/20, but for me the value here is the draw at 7/2.
