UEFA Nations League preview: France look to extend unbeaten streak against hapless Germany

In addition, Slovenia look to take three points off Cyprus while Ukraine host Czech Republic

The UEFA Nations League is set to continue this coming Tuesday (16 October) with the match between the current and most recent World Cup winners – France and Germany, respectively – the pick of the ties. Meanwhile, Slovenia will hope to pick up a win against Cyprus and Czech Republic travel to take on Ukraine in what should be a tricky encounter.

Getting the ball rolling

As a new customer and with the UEFA Nations League already up and running, there should be a whole host of promotions and special offers for you to enjoy.

Where should I be investing my money?

First up, world champions France host an out of sorts Germany side. The Blues have now gone 14 games without defeat, while 2014 World Cup winners Germany have lost five games in a calendar year for the first time in over three decades.

These two played out a goalless draw in the corresponding fixture last month, but France now have four points after beating Holland 2-1. Germany, meanwhile, are stuck on one point after they were defeated 3-0 by Holland last time out.

And France are the clear favourites to pick up another win here and are priced at just 1.65 to take all three points. Visitors Germany are out at 4.75 to pick up a win on the road, with a draw priced in the middle at 4.00, according to Oddsshark.

A 3-1 win for France is priced competitively at 13.00, thereby offering more than a ten-fold return on any investment. You could also more than triple your investment by backing a combo of a France win and both teams to score, which comes in at 3.50.

Slovenia looking for first points in UEFA Nations League

Slovenia will be looking to get their first points on the board when they host Cyprus on Tuesday night. Slovenia have lost all three of their games in the UEFA Nations League so far, conceding five goals and scoring just two.

Cyprus, by way of comparison, are not faring much better, with their only win in their last five outings coming against Slovenia last month. Both teams are in desperate need of three points to kick start their campaign.

And with home advantage, it is Slovenia who come into this clash as the favourites to get their first win under their belt. You can back them to do so at just 1.65, with Cyprus all the way out at 5.00 to do the double over their opponents – a draw is priced in the middle at 3.80.

A 2-1 win for Slovenia is priced at 9.00, meaning that a US$5 bet would lead to a US$45 pay out. In addition, you could more than double your money by backing over 2.5 goals in the game at 2.30, and both teams to score, which is priced at 2.20.

Ukraine welcome Czech Republic

And finally, Ukraine will look to continue their excellent recent form when they host the Czech Republic in the UEFA Nations League. Ukraine are unbeaten in eight games across all competitions and boast a 100 per cent record in the UEFA Nations League.

Czech Republic, in stark contrast, look to have hit a stumbling block of late,losing three of their last five encounters across all competitions. These two met last month and Ukraine prevailed 2-1 away from home – now playing on their own turf, they will be confident of doing the same and maintaining their 100 per cent record in the UEFA Nations League.

And it is Ukraine who come in as the clear favourites to take all three points in this one. Ukraine are at just 1.75 to make it three wins from three, with Czech Republic out at 5.25 to pull off an unlikely win – a draw is priced in the middle at 3.30.

A comfortable, 2-0 win for the home side is priced at 7.00, meaning that a US$5 bet would lead to a US$35 pay out. In addition, you could more than triple any investment by backing a combo of a Ukraine win and under 2.5 goals in the game, which comes in at 3.40.

You also have the chance to double your money by backing Ukraine to win to nil (without Czech Republic scoring a goal) at 2.62. Ukraine are the in-form side and it should be a relatively stress-free evening for them.
