Kazakhstan vs. Belarus (Thursday, 3.00pm)

Kazakhstan play host to Belarus on Thursday knowing that victory will be enough to secure promotion to the second tier of the UEFA Nations League.
Meanwhile, Belarus head into their remaining two fixtures in League C Group 3 aware that they need at least one win to avoid the relegation play-outs.
We say: Kazakhstan 2-0 Belarus
Despite having dominated League C Group 3, Azerbaijan are yet to score more than twice in a single fixture. That is a statistic which will only encourage their opponents, but we still expect the home side to make relatively light work of Belarus on Thursday, securing promotion in the process.

Latvia take on Moldova in the UEFA Nations League on Thursday with the hosts able to secure promotion to Europe's third tier of the competition by avoiding defeat.
Moldova must win in Riga if they are to stand any chance of leapfrogging their opponents into top spot in Group 1.
We say: Latvia 2-1 Moldova
Latvia and Moldova each have decent strikers to build around in the shape of Vladislavs Gutkovskis and Ion Nicolaescu respectively, so we can envisage a few goals in Riga on Thursday.
However, the hosts head into this match in much better form, while also possessing the advantage of being able to settle for a draw, so we can see them picking their opponents off at some stage.

Croatia vs. Denmark (Thursday, 7.45pm)

Denmark can secure a place in the finals of the 2022-23 UEFA Nations League when they renew hostilities with Croatia in League A Group 1 at the Maksimir Stadium on Thursday.
Kasper Hjulmand's side currently lead the way in the standings with nine points to their name, while the Chequered Ones sit just one place and two points worse off than the table-toppers.
We say: Croatia 0-0 Denmark
Denmark certainly do not possess an affinity for draws, but rustiness may come into play for both sides after three months with no international action, and June's showdown was an extremely close contest.
Both defences should also feel capable of keeping their opposing attackers at bay, especially with Denmark a tad light in that area, so we would not be surprised to see this one end goalless as the battle for top spot goes right down to the wire.

France vs. Austria (Thursday, 7.45pm)

Having seen their hopes of back-to-back UEFA Nations League titles crash and burn, France resume League A Group 1 duties at home to Austria on Thursday night.
Les Bleus are facing the prospect of a devastating relegation to League B, while their visitors are not much better off, sitting in third place with four points to their name.
We say: France 2-0 Austria
Even with an array of top players sidelined by injury, Deschamps can still call upon an abundance of talented names who need no added motivation to impress with World Cup spots on the line.
Austria are without plenty of experienced internationals themselves and possess less of a physical threat up top with Kalajdzic absent, so we have faith in Les Bleus to right the wrongs of the summer and boost their survival hopes with a straightforward win.

Belgium vs. Wales (Thursday, 7.45pm)

Belgium head into their UEFA Nations League League A Group 4 fixture with Wales on Thursday evening requiring three points to ensure that they remain in contention for the Finals.
In sharp contrast, Wales make the trip to Brussels aware that only maximum points will do if they want to set up a grandstand finish with Poland when it comes to avoiding relegation to League B.
We say: Belgium 2-0 Wales
With these two teams extremely familiar with each other, we anticipate this fixture remaining competitive throughout the 90 minutes. Nevertheless, we cannot back against Belgium on familiar territory, Martinez's men potentially making sure of the three points during the closing stages.

Poland vs. Netherlands (Thursday, 7.45pm)

Netherlands will be looking to move one step closer to booking their place in the UEFA Nations League semi-finals when they travel to Warsaw to face Poland in their penultimate League A Group 4 fixture on Thursday.
While the hosts have won only four of their last 10 international home matches, the Oranje are unbeaten in each of their last seven on the road in all competitions.
We say: Poland 1-2 Netherlands
Both sides caused problems for one another the last time that they locked horns three months ago, and another closely-fought contest is to be expected on Thursday.
Poland will fancy their chances with Lewandowski leading the line, but we can see Netherlands securing a slender victory, which could be enough to seal their place in the Nations League semi-finals if Belgium fail to beat Wales.

Lithuania vs. Faroe Islands (Thursday, 7.45pm)

Lithuania will be seeking to avoid relegation from League C Group 1 of the UEFA Nations League when they welcome Faroe Islands to Vilnius on Thursday.
The hosts suffered a 2-0 defeat against Turkey in their last match in June, while the visitors played out a 2-2 draw away against Luxembourg.
We say: Lithuania 1-2 Faroe Islands
The pressure is on Lithuania to come away with maximum points against a Faroe Islands outfit who won the reverse fixture and will be the slight favourites despite their poor form away from home.
We expect both nations to cause problems in the final third, but the visitors should have enough quality in their side to come out on top.

Turkey vs. Luxembourg (Thursday, 7.45pm)

Turkey will be aiming to continue their 100% record in the current season of the UEFA Nations League when they host Luxembourg on Thursday.
The visitors must win to stand any chance of leapfrogging their forthcoming opponents into top spot.
We say: Turkey 2-0 Luxembourg
Even with a couple of injury absences in midfield, Turkey should have too much quality for their opponents.
Luxembourg have hugely improved in recent years but they are still lacking quality in certain areas, and the hosts will be motivated to maintain their 100% record and secure promotion to League B.

Slovakia vs. Azerbaijan (Thursday, 7.45pm)

Slovakia take on Azerbaijan in League C Group 3 of the UEFA Nations League on Thursday.
Unless Belarus can avoid defeat against group leaders Kazakhstan in Astana earlier in the day, both teams will be fighting for second spot.
We say: Slovakia 2-0 Azerbaijan
Slovakia's players are likely to be more motivated than usual given that they are playing in front of their new manager for the first time.
Azerbaijan are rarely thrashed, but they are regularly beaten, and we can not envisage much else in Trnava on Thursday.

Liechtenstein vs. Andorra (Thursday, 7.45pm)

In a battle at the bottom of the UEFA Nations League's fourth tier, international minnows Liechtenstein and Andorra go head-to-head on Thursday.
Three months after the League D Group 1 rivals met in Andorra la Vella, they reconvene at Rheinpark Stadium in Vaduz, where the hosts will seek their first points of the campaign.
We say: Liechtenstein 1-2 Andorra
They may add to their goal tally - scoring even once would immediately double it - but Liechtenstein could continue their losing streak nonetheless. Andorra have only failed to find the net three times in their last nine outings, so can overcome their struggles on the road to take maximum points.
