UKRAINE v NORTH MACEDONIA
Ukraine and North Macedonia will both be desperate for points when they meet in Budapest as both sides suffered defeats in the opening round.
The Ukraine were involved in an entertaining match against the Netherlands, eventually going down 3-2. While Ukraine lost their opener they can certainly take something out of the fact that they came from 2-0 down to level up the game before conceding a late winner.
North Macedonia went down early to Austria, but came back to take the match into half-time at 1-1. Austria were too good after the break winning 3-1 and North Macedonia will have to produce something like the form they showed when beating Germany 2-1 away in World Cup qualifiers if they had to progress to the next round.

Ukraine 25/2
Draw 23/4
North Macedonia 2/9
Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 1/1
This group has proved high scoring so far and both these sides games tend to have goals in them. North Macedonia’s last 6 matches has seen this bet arrive on 5 occasions and Ukraine’s game against the Netherlands had plenty of chances at both ends.
DENMARK v BELGIUM
Denmark and Belgium meet in Copenhagen and the Danes will be looking to bounce back from their 1-0 defeat to Finland in their opening match. The game, of course, was marred by the collapse of Christian Eriksen and it is not surprising that the Danish team were rattled and eventually beaten.
The problem the Danes have now is that they are running into a Belgium side who looked excellent in defeating Russia 3-0 in their opening game.
These sides met in the UEFA Nations League in 2020 with Belgium winning both matches by a 2 goal margin.

Denmark 61/20
Draw 22/10
Belgium 11/10
Suggested Bet: Belgium win at 11/10
Denmark is going to be forced to come forward in the search for 3 points and Belgium have the sort of side that will exploit any gaps at the back.
NETHERLANDS v AUSTRIA
The Netherlands and Austria meet in Amsterdam in Thursday’s final game. Both sides are coming off good victories in their opening rounds.
The Netherlands scored a late winner to see off the Ukraine 3-2 and 5 of their last 6 International matches have seen over 2.5 goal backers collect profits.
Austria pulled clear of North Macedonia in the second-half winning 3-1 and while goals haven't flowed quite as freely in their games, 4 of their last 6 Internationals including friendlies have seen 3 goals or more scored.

Netherlands 6/10
Draw 13/4
Austria 9/2
Suggested Bet: Both teams to score, YES, at 8/10
This should be a competitive match and I certainly give Austria a chance of getting something out of the game with the draw at a price of 13/4 almost enough to tempt me. The bet I prefer though is both teams find the back of the net at 8/10.
