Scott Thornton's BTTS 24/5 Weekend Acca

Croatia host Poland in their second UEFA Nations League fixture. The team made it to the semi-finals of the last World Cup failed to make it out of the groups at Euro 2024, so they will be looking to bounce back here. Luka Modric continues to play for the national team and the veteran midfielder could yet play a crucial role.

Both teams have scored in four of Croatia’s last six matches. There has been an average of 2.7 goals in their last 10 games. Zlatko Dalic’s side made it to the final of this tournament in 2023 and have the quality to hurt Poland here.

Michael Probierz took over from Fernando Santos as Poland boss. Qualification for the European Championships looked a tall order when he took charge but he successfully guided the team to Germany. However, they were able to pick up just one point in the group stages.

Poland matches under the new manager have seen plenty of goals with an average of 2.92 per game. Both teams have scored in their last six matches.

Switzerland did well in the summer. They made it to the quarter finals of the European Championships before being knocked out by England on penalties. Murat Yakin’s side will have to produce their best stuff to get a result here.

The Swiss have scored in their last nine matches and both teams to score has won in five of the last seven. Switzerland’s matches in the last edition of the Nations League saw an average of 2.5 goals.

Spain beat England in the final of Euro 2024 and the success was thoroughly deserved. Luis De La Fuente’s side were undoubtedly the best side at the tournament and they had to navigate the trickier half of the draw.

Since De La Fuente took charge, Spain matches have seen an average of 3.29 goals per game. The Spaniards have scored 2.57 of those goals (correct as of Wednesday 4 September) but this bet has won in four of their last five games. La Roja lost 2-1 when they last faced Switzerland back in 2022.

Norway failed to qualify for the Euros but they have an abundance of attacking talent in their ranks. Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard play pivotal roles in the Premier League for Manchester City and Arsenal respectively and can have a huge impact here.

The Norwegians have scored in nine of their last 10 matches in front of their own fans. Those games have seen an average of 2.9 goals with Norway scoring two per game.

Austria topped their group ahead of France and the Netherlands at a Euro 2024 but they were unable to carry that momentum into the knockout stages. Ralf Rangnick’s side were beaten in the round of 16 by Türkiye but they earned plenty of plaudits for the way they played.

Austria’s last 10 matches have seen an average of 3.1 goals per game. Both teams have scored in six of the last seven. This bet has also won in the last two head-to-heads between these sides.
