Tuesday's Nations League predictions including Germany vs. England

sportsmole.co.uk, 7 June 2022, 05:00
Finland vs. Montenegro (Tuesday, 5.00pm)

On Tuesday, Finland will be looking to clinch their first win of the current edition of the UEFA Nations League when they play host to Montenegro.

The visitors, meanwhile, will be aiming to claim back-to-back victories after beginning their campaign with a 2-0 win over Romania.

We say: Finland 1-0 Montenegro

Although Finland were denied a win over Bosnia-Herzegovina in dramatic circumstances, they have won five of their seven home matches in the Nations League, and we think they will edge out a Montenegro side, who have lost their last two away games.

Germany vs. England (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Germany and England will both be out to secure their first UEFA Nations League victories at the second attempt when they renew their long-standing rivalry in Munich on Tuesday night.

Hansi Flick's side kicked off proceedings in League A Group 3 with a 1-1 draw against Italy, while the Three Lions suffered a demoralising 1-0 loss to Hungary.

We say: Germany 2-1 England

Southgate's choice to go with an experimental XI did not pay dividends in Budapest, but there are several big-hitters ready and waiting to ensure England can return to scoring ways against a Germany defence that is far from impenetrable.

An increase in ruthlessness could have seen Germany enter this contest with three points instead of one, but rival turf has not been kind to England in the Nations League, and we do not expect Southgate to inspire a turnaround in fortunes after only 72 hours.

Italy vs. Hungary (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

After an overhauled team made a bright start to Italy's new UEFA Nations League campaign at the weekend, the European champions host a Hungary side fresh from victory over England.

The League A Group 3 rivals, who both missed out on qualification for Qatar 2022, convene in Cesena on Tuesday evening, in the second of four fixtures played across less than a fortnight.

We say: Italy 1-1 Hungary

With a motivated squad which, once convened, becomes more than the sum of its parts, Hungary are capable of achieving several 'surprise' results in Group 3, and could upset the established order once again on Tuesday.

Their more illustrious counterparts may have had a radical makeover, but Italy still look short of confidence in the final third, so expect a low-scoring encounter, which could end all-square.

Bosnia H'vina vs. Romania (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Bosnia-Herzegovina and Romania square off on Tuesday having both failed to win their opening matches in the 2022-23 UEFA Nations League.

While the home side were held to a 1-1 draw by Finland, Romania succumbed to defeat versus Montenegro, putting both nations under pressure ahead of the Group B3 showdown in Zenica.

We say: Bosnia-Herzegovina 1-1 Romania

With neither team in the best of form, they are under pressure to find something extra to keep pace with the early pacesetters. Although the home side are probably better equipped to claim a narrow win on Tuesday, we feel that Romania will do just enough to salvage an important share of the spoils.

Faroe Islands vs. Luxembourg (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Faroe Islands will be aiming to register their first victory of the current UEFA Nations League campaign when they play host to Luxembourg on Tuesday.

The visitors, meanwhile, are looking to clinch consecutive victories following a 2-0 victory over Lithuania at the weekend.

We say: Faroe Islands 1-2 Luxembourg

Despite playing away for the second time in a matter of days, we think Luxembourg will utilise the confidence gained from Saturday's win over Lithuania to guide them to a narrow victory over the Faroe Islands on Tuesday.

Lithuania vs. Turkey (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

On the back of contrasting starts to the UEFA Nations League campaign, Lithuania and Turkey will do battle on Tuesday in the second round of fixtures.

The hosts suffered an opening defeat to Luxembourg last time out, while the heavily-fancied visitors kicked off their bid for promotion with a dominant win over Faroe Islands.

We say: Lithuania 0-3 Turkey

Turkey will be confident of getting out of this Nations League group, particularly after Saturday's dominant win, and we see them dishing out another thrashing in Lithuania.

The visitors' squad is far stronger than that of their hosts and they should not run into too many troubles on Tuesday.
