Saturday's European Championship Qualifying predictions including Ukraine vs. England

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's European Championship Qualifying fixtures, including Ukraine vs. England.


Azerbaijan vs. Belgium (Saturday, 2.00pm)

Seeking to cement their place in Group F's top two, Belgium will make the long trip to Azerbaijan for Saturday's European Championship qualifier.

Situated between Austria and Sweden in the early standings, the Red Devils are expected to leave Baku victorious - their hosts sit bottom of the pile on just one point.

We say: Azerbaijan 0-2 Belgium


A huge gulf in class divides these sides, and Belgium will expect to make their supremacy pay. Azerbaijan's heavy losses have come away from home, though, so it may be a narrower margin that separates them than many expect.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Ukraine vs. England (Saturday, 5.00pm)

The top two outfits in Euro 2024 qualifying Group C square off in Saturday's tantalising showdown, as Ukraine do battle with section leaders England at the Stadion Wrocław in Poland.

As war rages in the 'home team's' homeland, a neutral ground will be the venue for the weekend's encounter, as the Three Lions endeavour to make it 15 points from a possible 15.

We say: Ukraine 0-3 England


Lighting should strike twice for England against Ukraine this weekend, as Southgate's side quickly bring the Blue and Yellow back down to earth with a comprehensive win on Polish soil.

With several Three Lions attackers starting the season in red-hot form - not to mention the exploits of Jude Bellingham at Real Madrid - a straightforward win for the 'visitors' is the only outcome we can envisage.

Our tipster partners are predicting an away win.

Andorra vs. Belarus (Saturday, 5.00pm)

European minnows Andorra welcome Belarus to the Estadi Nacional for a Euro 2024 qualifier in Group I on Saturday evening.

While the hosts sit bottom of the group after failing to win any of their first four matches, the visitors sit in fourth place with three points on the board, five points behind the top two qualification spots.

We say: Andorra 1-2 Belarus


Considering the improvements made by Andorra in recent months, Alvarez and co will be quietly optimistic about claiming a positive result on Saturday. However, Belarus will still be considered as the favourites to come out on top and they should do enough to secure their first competitive away win in three years.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Estonia vs. Sweden (Saturday, 5.00pm)

Sweden aim to turbocharge their pursuit of a place at Euro 2024 this weekend, when they resume their qualifying campaign in Estonia on Saturday.

Languishing third in Group F following two defeats from three, the Swedes are only two points above their hosts as they enter a double-header also featuring a crucial clash with Austria.

We say: Estonia 0-3 Sweden


Sweden have won 16 and drawn one versus Estonia in the past, and despite a sluggish start to their Group F campaign they can now make the most of their firepower in Tallinn. Doubts remain over the Blagult's tactical set-up and selections under Janne Andersson, but they have more than enough nous to see off their hosts.

Our tipster partners are predicting an away win.

N. Macedonia vs. Italy (Saturday, 7.45pm)

Already playing catch-up in Euro 2024 qualifying Group C, reigning continental champions Italy make the long journey to Skopje to face North Macedonia on Saturday.

The Azzurri sit outside the top two on account of only playing two matches in the section so far, having suffered Nations League heartache in the most recent round of international fixtures.

We say: North Macedonia 0-2 Italy


A winning start to Spalletti's reign surely awaits a transitioning Italy side this weekend, with North Macedonia still reeling from their England embarrassment and the ongoing row between manager and absent captain.

The reigning European champions should not score goals for fun in Skopje as they find their feet under the ex-Napoli boss, but they have the defensive nous required to shut out their hosts, whose star striker Trajkovski is lacking match practice.

Romania vs. Israel (Saturday, 7.45pm)

Romania will be looking to extend their unbeaten run in Group I of Euro 2024 qualifying when they welcome Israel to the National Arena in Bucharest on Saturday night.

The visitors, meanwhile, are seeking to claim their third successive victory in qualifying and climb into the top two of the group.

We say: Romania 2-1 Israel


An entertaining encounter could be in store on Saturday considering Romania have scored in eight of their last 10 internationals and Israel have netted in 11 of their last 12 matches.

There is little to separate these two nations, but we believe that Romania will just edge this contest on home soil to consolidate their place in the top two of Group I.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Kosovo vs. Switzerland (Saturday, 7.45pm)

Switzerland will be looking to maintain their position at the top of Group I in Euro 2024 qualifying when they travel to the Fadil Vokrri Stadium to face Kosovo on Saturday night.

While the hosts are unbeaten from their opening four fixtures, the visitors are still searching for their first victory.

We say: Kosovo 0-2 Switzerland


Kosovo have shown that they can frustrate opponents so far in Group I and they will hope to do the same on Saturday as they search for their first three points in qualifying.

However, we are predicting Switzerland to come out on top as they boast a much stronger squad, on paper, that should have the quality to break down Kosovo's backline.

Our tipster partners are predicting an away win.
