Portugal and Spain both showed a good performance and got deserved wins at the end. Spain had some difficulties in the second half and this might have caused them to lose points too. Switzerland couldn't benefit from the chances they found in this half properly. Portugal were very advantageous in the first half already and they didn't give much chance to their opponent. I really liked Bernardo Silva in this game as he made two assists. Portugal have been the most attracting team of their group so far.
Strange that the Scandinavians Sweden and Norway are not winning their home games. I thought it would be the other way round in these games, with Serbia and Slovenia losing. And if Norway still have a chance to win, for Sweden this match will most likely be lost. Probably after the leaving of Zlatan Ibrahimovic the Swedish team will not be so strong anymore.
I really dont think that Sweden was even close to being a favorite in this match. Serbian team looks really good especially the attack with some incredible players. Swedens only advantage was only that they played at home in front of their fans
Bad result for Sweden they were unable to penetrate the Serbian defense from 11 shots only 1 on target so where is the problem?
Either Sweden striker is weak or Serbia Defense is too strong both of these reasons make sense or maybe a match like this is not important to them
Most of the matches here are boring they seem unmotivated.

They are a kind of practice matches to see where you are now as a team. A few teams have impressed, but other top countries have also failed. The question is therefore how much value you can attach to such competitions. There is a little more tension than in a regular practice match. Top players would rather not participate than do. We saw a kind of B Selection play in the Netherlands national team, which is why it just went well against Wales.

For Sweden, it might still be considered more normal considering that Serbia is currently on a better trend compared to Sweden. But for Norway this is a loss considering they can actually take points there, especially after winning in number of players.It's a shame they had to fail to pick up points and had to be content to share 1 point.
It’s always unreal to see Portugal scoring a goal and it’s not scored by Cristiano Ronaldo now in the currently playing game the are two goals up and Cristiano Ronaldo isn’t on the score sheet, I must say there group is going as planned with Spain also showing there superiority in there game although it’s just a goal, these to team are amongst my favorite to win this Uefa nations league.
The first halves have ended for both games and there has been a big dominance of Portugal and Spain each in their games. Portugal are 2-0 ahead already and I wonder if it will end like their Switzerland game. Czech Republic might be able to score one goal maybe but Portugal would still win at the end. In the other game, Spain have done a great job by controlling the game against Switzerland. I didn't see Switzerland being very effective in the first half but maybe they could do something in the second half. Spain would win anyway though.
As of the 70th minute, Portugal and Spain are still struggling to score more goals but there is still plenty of time to enjoy this match. Spain are not safe with the score 1-0 at the moment as Switzerland still might end the game with a 1-1 draw if they manage to score and defend. Enrique will have to find a way to win this match safely as there must be additional goals to be scored in the remainder of the second half.

It's been an awesome and entertaining first half across Europe in the UEFA nations League right from Portugal where they lead 2:0 against Czech Republic..to Switzerland where Spain is winning 1:0 ..and Greece 2:0 up against Cyprus ....Norway playing a goalless draw against Slovenia.. Serbia one goal up against Sweden.. Kosovo 2:1 Northern Ireland Bulgaria leads Gibraltar 1:0..North Macedonia and Georgia playing a goalless draw.... Estonia 1:0 Malta...it's been an amazing first half let's see if the the second half brings more goals than the first half....the teams winning will be thinking of keeping their lead or even extending it...while the team loosing will be all about looking for an equaliser and even winning the game..let's see what the second half brings...
This gloried friendly according to some persons has now become an instrument of entertainment in the absence of club football

They made it for entertainment, imagine many fans getting annoyed now with leagues finished but they find an international competition going on. Obviously the hidden reason is money.
What makes it less interesting is players getting exhausted without enough time to relax. Some teams don't take that league as serous one, others give more chance to play for their new players...
Switzerland - Spain seems to be the best game for today
That's right, the off-season is going to be very intense and in this way the players, who are play in the national teams, can't have a normal rest. Switzerland loses, in the entire first half they never managed to shot at the gate, and Spain's possession of the ball was 74%. If Switzerland does not change anything in the second half, it will be the third defeat in the tournament, a very weak start. I think that they should not have lost against the Czech Republic, and the game they looked better, but still lost.

The first half of Portugal vs Czech Republic is over, it seems that in this case Portugal is still much tougher than the Czech Republic because indeed they controlled almost the entire field and the players from the Czech Republic were really forced to defend and only counterattack as a reply.
2-0 score could have increased if things like this kept happening now.

For a while Spain and Portugal both managed to lead by 1 goal. Spain and Portugal dominated this match well and maybe we will find out that there is an additional goal in the first half that each will probably score. Maybe it's good to put these two teams as favorites in the group and I don't think that's wrong.
There were 4 Barcelona players that Luis Enrique played in this match, I hope it will be something the team can be proud of. 3-1 was the result I expected for Spain's win today, it seems a very likely result based on the stats of the match.
*Meanwhile, Portugal managed to end the first half with 2 goals, this is good.

At the moment the quotes are as follows:
1,65 - 4,00 - 5,60
In my opinion, the chances do not justify the risk - after the defeat from the Netherlands, Belgium's chances for the first place became very small and now their motivation is unclear. And Poland, by the way, is a strong team, so such a low chance of Belgium winning is rather unprofitable.

I think the odds are correct as long as Lukaku and De Bryne will be starting players and Belgium has their top 11 in top form.If that is the case then Poland stand no chance to win tonight.It all depends on the motivation of Belgium which I think they will want to be fully focused to not their name go further down because these games of the Nations League are counting towards a team ranking in the FIFA rankings,any lost game translates to positioning down in the FIFA rankings and so I think that Belgium will win today.
Now it is clear that it was a generous coefficient
But yesterday I bet all my winnings from the previous bet (easy come easy go) on the Netherlands. And as you can understand at the end of the game, I experienced quite a thrill. So today is my day off from betting and I don't see any "good" games to bet on today. Tomorrow will be much more interesting.
The Greeks from Greece host the Greeks from Cyprus... It's an interesting match... I think Greece should win because they are the leaders in their group and have already beaten Kosovo and Northern Ireland... It is an interesting fact that out of the last 10 games between Greece and Cyprus the Greeks have scored only 1 goal in one game, in the other games more than one goal was scored... But in the last games against Kosovo and Northern Ireland the Greeks have scored 1 goal each... I wonder what will happen today...
Only 10 minutes have been played in this match and Greece is already leading by one goal. The goal was scored in the 8th minute. I think Greece is the better team in this matchup and they should win. This early lead in the match can prove to be very important for Greece.
It has been ten minutes since today's matches started. Spain are the away team against Switzerland and Portugal are hosting Czech Republic now. For these matches, I'm favouring Spain - Portugal duo to defeat their opponents. Especially Spain had better win this time because they made a terrible start to the tournament by getting two draws. Switzerland are a weak opponent for them actually because Portugal crushed them 4-0 before. Spain should be getting a comfortable win in this match.
Spain against Switzerland is the best match today, I think. It starts in less than 10 minutes. The Swiss trio in the offensiv: Shaqiri, Embolo & Zuber. They will definitely score at least 1 goal today. The first two games were a disaster and they lost one 0:4 against Portugal, this will be their last chance against Spain. But Spain started almost bad, it will be a hard fight today.
Really good match today between two amazing teams but Spain is an apsolute favorite in this duel plus they have a good advantage because they are playing at home so they have a bigger chance of winning. Also im expecting lots of goals between them
I wonder how Portugal and the Czech Republic and Austria and Spain will play tonight... Last time the Czechs showed a good game against Spain, can the Portuguese beat them today? And I wonder how Switzerland will play after the big defeat against Portugal... I think there could be surprises today!
Portugal and Czech have the same style of play. Portugal's materials are good overall and on paper they can win but on the pitch the Czech can do what Portugal loses.The ambitions of the two teams are the same, aiming for a victory to dominate the top of the standings.
