England were ruthless in the second half of their 4-0 win in Hungary on Thursday and that probably doesn't bode well for minnows Andorra, who make their way to Wembley.

Meanwhile, Wales have to go to Russia to face Belarus in a key qualifier, looking for the win that would give their chances of reaching next year's World Cup in Qatar a huge boost, and Northern Ireland have a friendly against Estonia.

Today's best accumulator bets

Bets to be placed by 5pm

Wales to beat Belarus

Bulgaria to beat Lithuania

Belgium to beat Czech Republic

Both teams to score in Kosovo v Greece

Wales should have a lot stronger line-up than the one they fielded against Finland in midweek and they have enough to see off Belarus, who conceded eight in a recent qualifier against Belgium.

Lithuania were poor in losing 4-1 to Northern Ireland and look unlikely to get anything in Bulgaria, while Belgium should be too strong for the Czech Republic and an entertaining clash can be expected between Kosovo and Greece.

Belarus v Wales

Sky Sports Football, 2pm

Welsh hopes of reaching their first World Cup since 1958 may ride on their trip to Kazan to face Belarus and they can collect three points. Their opponents are likely to be defensive, so don't expect many goal, although Rob Page's side should break through eventually.

Best bet
Wales & under 3.5 goals

England v Andorra

ITV, 5pm

England were excellent in brushing Hungary aside in the second half in Budapest on Thursday and what is likely to be a much-changed line-up should ease their way past Andorra.

Gareth Southgate's side should ease to victory and a 5-0 correct scoreline looks worth backing.

Best bet
England to win 5-0

Estonia v Northern Ireland

Sky Sports Football, 5pm

Northern Ireland received a boost with their 4-1 win over Lithuania on Thursday, but their friendly against Estonia may slip under the radar a little as Ian Baraclough's side have a key qualifier against Switzerland next week.

Estonia have posted some decent results against some of the smaller European football nations of late and they can score the first goal.

Estonia to score first goal

Bet of the day

Switzerland or draw double chance v Italy 7.45pm Sunday

European champions Italy were frustrated by Bulgaria on Thursday and they could be up against it when they face the Swiss, who have won both their qualifiers and knocked France out of Euro 2020.

Goalscorer bet of the day

Spain v Georgia 7.45pm Sunday

Spain need to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat to Sweden on Thursday and Manchester City's Ferran Torres can help them do that. He scored twice for his club in the 5-0 win over Arsenal before the international break and can make his mark against Georgia, who are mediocre opponents.

Best bet
Ferran Torres to score at any time in Spain v Georgia

Stat of the day

Belarus v Wales Sky Sports Football, 5pm

Seven of Wales's last nine games have featured fewer than three goals.
