Nations League Acca Tips With BetMGM

The extended international break has reached its halfway point as the UEFA Nations League moves into Matchday 3, with Saturday’s schedule featuring fixtures across Leagues A, B and C.

Several of the usual contenders have made perfect starts. France, Spain and defending champions Portugal each collected six points from their opening two matches, strengthening their claims for places in next year’s quarter-finals.

Few expected Greece to join them on maximum points through two games. Ivan Jovanovic’s side achieved that despite playing twice away from home, winning in Serbia before producing the tournament’s biggest shock so far by beating Jurgen Klopp’s Germany in Augsburg.

While Klopp was left without a victory after his first two matches in charge of Die Mannschaft, Xavi had better fortune in his second game as Netherlands boss, securing his first win against Serbia, although the result was tempered by Cody Gakpo suffering an injury.

England responded positively after their opening defeat to Spain at Wembley, beating Czechia 2-0 in Prague. The hosts were reduced to ten men inside 25 minutes before Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane scored to secure Thomas Tuchel’s first points of the campaign.

The Three Lions feature in Saturday’s standout fixture against Croatia. It will be the nations’ 11th competitive meeting since the Euro 2004 group stage. Their latest came at this summer’s World Cup, where England won 4-2, remarkably matching the scoreline from their Euro 2004 meeting 22 years earlier.

Elsewhere, Spain will look to extend their winning start and deepen Czechia’s problems, while Scotland travel to North Macedonia needing a response. Their goalless draw in Slovenia offered encouragement, but a 3-0 home defeat to Switzerland left them with ground to recover in Group B1.

Football tipster Ben Smith has selected five bets from Saturday’s Nations League fixtures with BetMGM and combined them into a 26/1 accumulator.

Croatia vs England - England to Win (4/5)

There are still fair questions around England under Thomas Tuchel, particularly after their defeat to Spain, but they continue to win the games they really should be winning.

Tuesday’s 2-0 victory in Czechia needs caveating because the hosts played more than an hour with ten men, but England still did the job without giving them anything to work with.

Croatia are usually difficult to oppose at home, although playing behind closed doors clearly weakens that advantage. They were badly exposed in a 4-1 defeat to Spain and could struggle again against another strong attack.

England have won the last three meetings, including 4-2 at the World Cup this summer, and their greater depth should tell as the game progresses.

Spain vs Czechia - Spain -2 Handicap (7/10)

Spain have quickly taken control of Group A3, following up their victory at Wembley by putting four past Croatia on Tuesday. That made it nine straight international wins, and another comfortable success should follow in Oviedo.

Santi Denia’s side have lost four of their last five matches and conceded at least twice in four of them. They competed reasonably well against England despite going down to ten men, but Spain should ask far more questions of a defence that has struggled throughout 2026.

Czechia’s last ten goals conceded have all arrived after the break, and Spain’s strength from the bench makes another late collapse a real possibility. With Pavel Sulc suspended and confidence understandably low after two home defeats, the Czechs look vulnerable to a Spain side capable of winning this by three or more.

North Macedonia vs Scotland - Scotland to Win & Over 1.5 Goals (13/10)

Scotland’s results make for grim reading, but there were mitigating circumstances against Switzerland after Jack Hendry was dismissed inside 11 minutes.

This is a considerable drop in class, and North Macedonia appear there for the taking after losing their last three matches by an aggregate score of 9-0. They are yet to score under Goce Sedloski and have managed only two goals across their ten-game winless run.

Scotland have problems of their own in attack, but they should enjoy far more possession and territory than in their recent fixtures. A long-awaited breakthrough could open the game up, with two Scottish goals potentially enough to land this selection.

Switzerland vs Slovenia - Switzerland -1 Handicap (10/11)

The Swiss have made light of dropping into League B, winning both matches 3-0 despite playing away from home. Scotland’s early red card undoubtedly helped on Tuesday, but Murat Yakin’s side still made full use of their advantage and have now gone 11 games without losing inside 90 minutes.

Slovenia have started solidly, although their attacking threat is reduced without Benjamin Sesko and they have won only once in six away contests. Back on home soil, Switzerland should have enough to win by at least two goals.

Iceland vs Bulgaria - Iceland Double Chance & Over 2.5 Goals (20/21)

Iceland should be full of confidence after beating Luxembourg 3-0, while Bulgaria arrive bottom of the group, without a permanent manager and having lost four consecutive competitive away matches.

The hosts have lost only once in their last four at home, with six of their previous seven games in Reykjavik producing at least four goals. Eight of Bulgaria’s last ten competitive matches have also gone over 2.5, making this combination worth backing.
