Saturday's Nations League predictions including Czech Republic vs. Portugal

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Nations League fixtures, including Czech Republic vs. Portugal.

Armenia take on Ukraine in Group B1 of the UEFA Nations League on Saturday.

The hosts have the chance to move off the bottom of the table if they can claim a victory.

We say: Armenia 1-3 Ukraine


With Ukraine missing two of their most experienced and talented players through suspension, we can envisage a comfortable victory for the visitors.

They are likely to enjoy playing with more freedom and attacking verve than when being held at arm's length by Scotland in midweek, with victory on Saturday keeping their hopes of promotion to the Nation League's top tier alive ahead of next week's reverse fixture.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Slovenia vs. Norway (Saturday, 5.00pm)

Slovenia will be aiming to move off the bottom of Group B4 when they take on Norway in the UEFA Nations League on Saturday.

The visitors, meanwhile, are on the cusp of gaining promotion to League A for the first time, and could secure that with a victory depending on how Serbia fare against Sweden later in the evening.

We say: Slovenia 1-2 Norway


We expect to see a closely-fought encounter in Slovenia on Saturday, but the visitors' greater quality in midfield and attack is likely to prove the difference in the end.

Norway could secure promotion to League A with a victory, so Haaland is likely to be more motivated than ever to add to his tally of 20 international goals and counting.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

N. Ireland vs. Kosovo (Saturday, 5.00pm)

Northern Ireland play host to Kosovo on Saturday evening knowing that three points could prove to be enough to avoid relegation to League D of the UEFA Nations League.

With Greece having already secured promotion, Kosovo are looking for the win which would guarantee second spot in Group C2.

We say: Northern Ireland 1-1 Kosovo


Given their lack of victories of late, it is difficult to back with Northern Ireland will any level of confidence. However, under pressure to avoid defeat, we feel that Baraclough's men will do just enough to earn a hard-fought share of the spoils against opponents who would also accept a point at Windsor Park.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Czech Republic vs. Portugal (Saturday, 7.45pm)

Portugal will endeavour to keep their hopes of a UEFA Nations League finals berth alive when they travel to the Sinobo Stadium to meet the Czech Republic on Saturday evening.

Fernando Santos's side currently occupy second place in League A Group 2 - one point below Spain - while their hosts sit third as they aim to preserve their top-flight status.

We say: Czech Republic 0-1 Portugal


Despite their defensive absentees, Portugal can still field a menacing-looking rearguard, and Santos's side should win the midfield battle with ease given the hosts' woes in that area.

Knowing that defeat could spell the end of their Nations League run, the Selecao should still be able to grind out a narrow triumph before a crucial final-day showdown with Spain.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Spain vs. Switzerland (Saturday, 7.45pm)

Spain could potentially book their place in the finals of the 2022-23 UEFA Nations League when they welcome Switzerland to Zaragoza for Saturday's League A Group 2 clash.

La Roja currently sit one point clear of Portugal at the top of the standings, while their visitors are at risk of being relegated to League B with defeat.

We say: Spain 2-0 Switzerland


History ought to repeat itself for Switzerland this week, as the Rossocrociati have notably struggled for results against Spain in decades gone by, and their recent spate of losses on the road will do them no favours here either.

With Spain aiming to lay down a marker ahead of the World Cup and consistently able to produce the goods in front of their own fans, we can only picture La Roja coming out on top in a match that may seal the fates of both teams.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Scotland vs. Rep. Ireland (Saturday, 7.45pm)

Scotland play host to Republic of Ireland on Saturday evening looking to move a step closer to securing top spot in Group B1.

Meanwhile, the visitors make the trip to Hampden Park knowing that only a win will do if they want to retain any hope of earning promotion to the top tier of the UEFA Nations League.

We say: Scotland 2-1 Republic of Ireland


Given Scotland's efforts against Ukraine, there will inevitably be some tiredness in their legs, and that will only encourage Republic of Ireland. Nevertheless, it will still take a big performance from the Green Army to beat Scotland, something which we do not think that they are capable of at this time.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Israel vs. Albania (Saturday, 7.45pm)

Sitting top of League B Group 2 heading into their final UEFA Nations League fixture, Israel can seal promotion by beating Albania on Saturday night.

In a group from which Russia were expelled as part of their international exile, the Israelis lead the way by two points from Iceland; while their visitors still await a first victory.

We say: Israel 1-1 Albania


Due to the absence of some regulars up front, Israel may struggle to get the three points they desire from their final fixture, and Albania possess sufficient experience to hold the hosts to a score draw.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Serbia vs. Sweden (Saturday, 7.45pm)

Still contending for promotion to the top tier of the UEFA Nations League, Serbia welcome League B Group 4 rivals Sweden to Belgrade on Saturday.

With two rounds remaining, the World Cup finalists are three points adrift of leaders Norway, while their visitors are occupied with avoiding demotion to League C.

We say: Serbia 1-0 Sweden


Sweden are going through a transitional phase, and are switching back to tried-and-trusted methods in search of their identity - several key players remain short of playing time at club level too. Therefore, Serbia can capitalise by dictating possession and scoring at least once through several attacking options.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Cyprus vs. Greece (Saturday, 7.45pm)

Having already secured promotion as League C Group 2 winners, Greece will be looking to maintain their 100% record in the UEFA Nations League when they face Cyprus on Saturday.

The hosts, meanwhile, are still seeking their first victory in the group and face the prospect of relegation to the fourth tier.

We say: Cyprus 0-2 Greece


While Greece are simply playing for pride, the pressure is all on relegation-threatened Cyprus, and a victory here would provide a huge boost to their survival hopes.

However, the visitors have cruised through their Nations League campaign so far and we expect them to secure another routine win on Saturday.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
