I saw that chance that Spain had scored through Zubimendi as at least this could have been a narrow victory for Spain towards the end of the match.
I didn't bet on this match as it was a bit of a struggle after losing my England vs Greece bet and that made me disappointed to bet on the Nations League match.

It's 73 minutes into the game with both team still playing goal-less draw, which implies your both team to score bet is likely not going to be possible In today's game, despite the fact Spain having the most ball possession and shots on target. It's obvious both team are playing absolutely great defensive game, which is why noon have been able to score a single goal. But however, let's see how it goes, if only the Coach could come up with a good strategic plan and players, as I'm convinced this game is likely to either with 1 goal in favour of Spain or goal-less draw, as it is.

Portugal are actually possessing this game with 2 goals from the first half already, thanks from Bernardo Silva and Cristiano Ronaldo, the game is still 60+mins, I think definitely Portugal will win and may even score more.

Surprised Spain match against Denmark is still goalless in the  70+mins of the game though they're pressing to get a goal but still no goal till now. Though I expect Spain to win or at least get a draw.

I don't think all players share this point of view, for example Croatia showed a very good game and Portugal is also playing at full strength and clearly wants to win. I do not argue, there are players and maybe even whole teams who are against this tournament, and maybe in this case there are doubts about its expediency, but this should be decided by the federation and not by individual players.

For me I don't care about the results. I placed a few bets. All are in goal markets. So far only one seems promising and other two have less possibility.

Most of the players are already complaining on the media about fatigue due to numerous competitions but then they've got no choice than to answer the call of their national team when they're called up, players in top clubs would really be worried about injuries cause sometimes you don't even need to put much effort but would get injured due to a bad tackle by the opposition defence. I also don't see any reason for this competition, it's not really necessary and would cause injury to lots of players and that's why several top countries that are supposed to be winning easily are not really taking it seriously. The Spanish team is filled with players of several top clubs across Europe so lots of them would be very careful not to sustain injury and I believe that's why they're still playing goalless draw against Denmark. However, who else enjoys watching 40 years old Cristiano Ronaldo playing so well against Poland, he's been very impressive in the game and even scored the 2nd goal to make it 0-2.

BTTS in Spain gams is a very risky bet because first of all they are good at defending, second of all they play high ball possession games usually, and third if they score first, they understand how to keep the ball within their own lines. The bet you are eventually going for here is for Denmark to score. Spain doesn't always intend to score a lot, but they are after this one goal they need in order to win the game. So I have stopped going BTTS in games like Spain - Denmark. Denmark is playing too passively sometimes.

Poland - Portugal goes as expected I think. Ronaldo is always highly motivated to add to his score count in the national team and of course in general. So is Lewandowski, but the advantage clearly is with Ronaldo in this game as he has players like Leao or Fernandes or Silva to assist him. Poland doesn't have those quality players throughout the squad.

Yes, that's the sad reality of the tournament. It lacks the required incentives and honour that would make players want to give their best. That's what distinguishes other tournaments from the world cup and the champions league. Since majority of the feedback on the nations league have been net negative, I expected Fifa to revaluate or possibly stop it but no, the show has to go on.

I don't usually bet on Nations league games but good to see

Poland vs Portugal - over 0.5 half time
Romania game - over 0.5 half time.

Only regret is my bet size was quite small.

I am watching the Nations league but Portugal Vs Poland instead of Spain Vs Denmark. I had expected that Spain will score even in the first half but it didn't happen. In the second half betting, BTTS is a risky bet since HT had already ended goaless. 2HT over 0.5 could be a nice bet with fair odds. But it's still not a guarantee. I had check the statistics and discovered that Yamal's rating is low compared to that of his team mates, what was wrong with him. Is the Denmark defence that difficult to penetrate?
I will likely switch to Spain Vs Denmark for the second half.

I'm not a fan too. I think it's just an upgraded friendly that stresses up the players for no reason. The players don't want to get injured so they don't put that much effort in it. I don't bet on it. It's difficult to predict when teams are not doing all they can to win. I believe the tournament should be scrapped and they should just complete for the world cup and Euros qualifiers.

First half of the game is gone and it's still a stalemate. I believe there will be no more than 2 goals in the game. Spain struggle to score many goals. They need a proper 9 and they miss Olmo.

I'm not a fan of the Nations League at all. It's not interesting at all and I think the players think so too, which is why many of them don't try very hard. You can see that with Spain v Denmark, before I bet on the NL games, I'd rather wait for the national leagues or bet on tennis games.

Decided to watch Nation League LOL
Spain vs Denmark both team to score is a good bet?

I think history will definitely repeat it self in this game and Portugal should come out as the favorite in this game looking at their current squad and that of Poland. Portugal has a good number of players who are very active in their club side and the presence of C.Ronaldo in the team is another advantage they have because despite his current age he is a big threat to any team he's playing against so I expect the Portugal team to have an edge over Poland by grabbing 3 points in this game.

For the Poland team, Robert Lewandoski is the hit man for them and I think the Portugal defense needs to be very careful with him because he can score goals from another angle just like Ronaldo.

And tonight is not boring, feeling like it is a league week. The inform Lewandowski is up against Ronaldo.  It is clear that Portugal has better players than Poland but it doesn't mean that the Poland players will not fight for the 3 points.

Another interesting match is Spain Vs Denmark. I have known Denmark to be a strong side against the young talented Spaniards.

Portugal used to win against Poland and in this game Portugal will play with Cristiano Ronaldo, Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes, Leao and the others. Poland will have Lewandowski as usual.
Overall, I find Portugal squad better and the chances for Portugal to win is better in my opinion even if they play away. Best thing Poland can do is to grab a draw from them.

Portugal definitely cares about this game, and they have been leaders, will continue to be leaders probably, too many teams played their third games already and I feel as if teams which are good already started to show themselves, this is why we need to  be careful when betting on these games.

I believe we are going to see big clubs still want to win this, even though I agree these games do not mean much for anyone, this still feels like a national pride thing for most teams and they want to win and the big clubs are starting to show how they care about winning. Look at the groups with three games and you will see how they are getting wins and the bad ones are losing. The gap is getting further and the more they play the bigger the gap will become.

Few players missed these games, even stars are coming to play for their teams and there are also players benched at their clubs trying to show why they should be getting minutes as well, definitely good way to show their skill.

Unfortunately it looks very far from an easy game for us as after ~65 minutes and I would say that Scotland looks very dangerous. Attack still doesn't function and what's even worse, in this game our defense isn't any better either, not even Gvardiol is playing on his usual level.

The only good thing is that Matanovic finally scored his first goal and I can understand why Dalic is forcing him, but Budimir is in a very good form and I hope to see him in soon.

The match between Croatia and Scotland has already started but I am looking forward to the match on the 15th. That is, France will fight against strong Belgium on October 15. As France is a very strong team in football, Belgium is also a very strong team, so undoubtedly the match between France and Belgium will be much more exciting. Italy is in the same group as France and Belgium but Italy is far better in terms of points than France and Belgium. Italy's points are seven, while France's points are 6, but Belgium's points are four. That is, Italy has won two matches and drawn one match in the first three matches, while France has won two matches and lost one match, and Belgium has lost one match, drawn one match and won one match.  

As Belgium match against France is very important for Belgium so hope Belgium will perform well against France.

I believe whosoever placed a bet on Greece to win would have cashed out something good that day. I really don't know what's happening to England. Not just me, but it's obvious that so many people that follow football are very concerned as well. We are not even talking about quality players, because they already have that. We are not even talking about squad depth because they already have that. We can't really tell what they are not doing right. Or is that we are just expecting too much from these players, when we know that some of them can't really offer to their country what they give to their clubs. I really don't like to point fingers at players, but foden isn't that good when it comes to playing for England. But when we see him at City, he is completely different. Or is that these players are finding it difficult to play to a different tactics. The thing is quite frustrating, as there are too many questions to be answered. Seeing the quality of stars that comes out from England almost every season, they ought to be competing well in major tournaments and maybe even getting to most finals.

Just imagine, Saka has already traveled back to Emirates after the recent, and we all know how important he is to the team. They will be playing their last game against Finland tomorrow, and I can't even boldly give them the win. This is not the England that we use to know.

It's been many years since these two teams faced each other, although this data is old:

This is a fact that cannot be ignored. Portugal has a good squad and in the last 2 games, they managed to win and scored at least 2 goals in each game. This is a good thing, especially because they beat Croatia, and Croatia beat Poland in a game in which they scored 1 goal and did not concede a goal. By this I mean that betting on Portugal to win could be a good option. It is true that there is a high risk of a draw. But I believe that Portugal's attack can score at least 2 goals again and win the game. I have not seen any talk of major injuries in Portugal's squad, and I also doubt very much that the Portugal coach will make any major changes. I heard that he called up Francisco Conceição.
