The qualifying process for Euro 2024 begins, with England having a double header against Italy and Ukraine as they bid to make the finals in Germany next summer. Meanwhile, there’s a mouth-watering clash between France and Netherlands on Friday, while Wales have a tough opener when they head to Croatia. Thursday 23 March Italy 19:45 England England would happily take a draw from their visit to Naples and we think that the game could easily end all square. After winning Euro 2020, Italy actually failed to reach the 2022 World Cup although the Azzurri will be determined to make amends. Roberto Mancini remains at the helm and doesn’t have a vintage crop of players, while Gareth Southgate is likely to take a pragmatic approach here. BEST BET: Draw North Macedonia 19:45 Malta Two more teams from Group C clash this evening and we could be in for a goal and card fest. Despite Malta having a FIFA rank of 167 they have been involved in some good games and manage to score quite a lot. North Macedonia are ranked 61st and in their last qualifying group games, they scored plenty! Games between these two teams tend to end up feisty so expect plenty of cards too. BEST BET: North Macedonia to Win & Over 2.5 Goals Friday 24 March France 19:45 Netherlands Cody Gakpo and Sven Botman have recently withdrawn from the Dutch squad for this clash in Paris and it might give France a slight advantage. The bookies certainly have Les Bleus as favourites and they were able to navigate their way through to the 2022 World Cup final before losing on penalties. Consider the BTTS Yes and potentially combine with France to win the game. BEST BET: BTTS Yes Sweden 19:45 Belgium The Belgium national team were underwhelming at the 2022 World Cup and perhaps they will come off worse against a Sweden side who don’t lose many matches in these qualifying games. Alexander Izak is starting to come to the fore for Newcastle and can cause problems for a Belgian defence that creaked regularly in Qatar and a rebuild job looks to be on the cards. BEST BET: Sweden to win Saturday 25 March Scotland 14:00 Cyprus Scotland narrowly missed out on the 2022 World Cup although they will be confident of making the Euro 2024 finals after appearing at Euro 2020. Steve Clarke will hope that full-backs Andy Robertson and Kieran Tierney can help the team to an opening win against a Cyprus team who are unlikely to create many chances at Hampden Park. BEST BET: Scotland + BTTS No Spain 19:45 Norway The fact that Erling Haaland misses this match is a huge negative for Norway and we’re backing Spain to claim a victory without conceding. The striker might have caused plenty of problems for the Spanish defence and they still have Martin Odegaard, although La Roja are a tough team to beat on home soil and they should be able to achieve a bloodless win. BEST BET: Spain + BTTS No Croatia 19:45 Wales Croatia remain among the leading teams in Europe and they should achieve a successful outcome against a Wales team who begin life without the retired Gareth Bale. The Blazers retain the services of the old guard which includes Luka Modric, Mateo Kovacic and Ivan Perisic, with the visitors not boasting players of that calibre.
