Germany should win this rather easily. Although Löw doesn't care that much about this competition, he is under some (media) pressure, because his team is not delivering. So for today he put some Bayern players back in (Kimmich, Goretzka, Gnabry) and with them Germany is a lot stronger, which is partially just psychological imo. Ukraine has been super poor in their last two games and ze germans didn't win for ages, which is very unusual.

All this being said, I won't bet on Germany, since there is no value in @1.3x and I don't expect some shootout, but think Löw wants to keep a clean sheet this time, something like 0-1/0-2 maybe in the end to silence his critics.

The last two games against Switzerland Spain have lost once and drew once. I think it will be a difficult game and the possibility of a draw is high.

I only bet on Spain vs Switzerland but this is a pretty good parlay you've found, the less risky one of the night IMHO. I wish you good luck  

Still going to bet on Spain and Germany in today's match, even though both of them combined in the parlay but I only got the total odds of 1.98. Hopefully Spain can continue its positive trend and so can Germany, it is not an easy match but it is time for Germany to win today's game. I personally doubt a little at these low odds, but it doesn't hurt to try.

Luxembourg vs Cyprus # double chance Cyprus @ 1.92
Farore Islands vs Latvia # double chance Latvia @ 1.78 <= according to bet makers Farore Islands are clear favorite, cannot understand this

Switzerland @ 8.8 Odds against Spain looks like a worthy a risk to take tbvh, the Germans have not been in the usual best form recently too, but I'll fancy Switzerland to win Spain over Ukraine against Germany.

Germany hasn't won a single match in 2020 . and it won't be easy today. 20.000 fans are coming to the stadium . i hope the german players are not afraid to play there  
the italian game has been cancelled. the italians probably have 2 or 3 corona cases .
yesterday the german u21 players already made it. they won 5:0 in moldavia .

Nations League resumed today with 7 matches. Best one imo is Spain vs Switzerland and Ukraine vs Germany.
Odds for each game are big (for example x8.6 for Ukraine and x1.33 for Germany), while Andorra (3.22) vs Malta (2.55) has the closest.
I don't feel comfortable with the results in this league

Germany have only managed to achieve 2 points at the moment with 2 draws in 2 games played but I think Germany could surely achieve better result with the number of high quality players in their national squad. Ukraine might not be an easy opponent to handle as they have still managed to beat Switzerland in this group, but I guess it is time for Germany to start winning games and avoiding draw result at the final whistle.

@coinlocket$ @slaman29 normally these friendlies are arranged to help the player’s gain their fitness, and to help the coach select his playing 11 for the upcoming international fixtures, however you’ll are right that they should have called these friendlies off due to covid. Furthermore if more stars behave like England player’s then they’ll aid in covid spreading, so let’s hope that other stars won’t be breaking any covid rules.

It's super stupid to have all these international/qualifier matches interrupting the domestic leagues in general, I don't know anyone who likes them And all this while a lot of players are complaining with too many matches, too few time to rest in summer break etc. Footballers are super spoiled imo, but they have a point, since they have to play more and more matches every year, which also increases the risk of injuries. But as we all know, it's about money. Domestic leagues want to make money, domestic football associations, UEFA, FIFA, TV stations etc. as well. So the more matches, the better

What I would like to see, but what will never happen, is to get rid of qualifying matches for EC/WC for the majority of teams. For example Euro 2021 features 24 teams - just take the UEFA rankings and the best 12 or 16 teams are qualified automatically, they will qualify anyway. The rest of the teams can play a little 3-week tournament the summer before the event and fill the remaining places. 
That way the top players, who also play EL/CL, will have their summer completely free every two years and can rest properly. This would also shorten the domestic leagues and/or put some more room to breathe for the scheduling. And you would still find 2-3 weeks before or after season to have some kind of national team training camp with some friendlies for the teams that usually are pre-qualified by ranking.
