Poland v Sweden
Sky Sports red button, 7.45pm Tuesday
Sweden edged Poland 3-2 in the group stage of Euro 2020 in a tight game and with a World Cup spot at stake, it could again be a tough one to call when these teams reconvene in Chorzow. Back the draw.

Portugal v North Macedonia
Sky Sports Action, 7.45pm Tuesday
Although they defeated Italy in Palermo last Thursday, North Macedonia allowed their opponents 32 shots and a star-studded Portugal side should make the most of such opportunities when these teams meet in Porto.

Best bet
Portugal to win & both teams to score
Northern Ireland v Hungary
Sky Sports Mix, 7.45pm Tuesday
Hungary's two international friendlies last year produced the grand total of one goal while six of Northern Ireland's ten matches in 2021 produced fewer than two goals, so expect a low-scoring encounter.

Best bet
Under 1.5 goals
Bet of the day
Scotland to beat Austria, Sky Sports Football, 7.45pm
Scotland got the better of Austria when the sides met in the group stage of World Cup qualification and can repeat the feat against opponents likely to be deflated after losing to Wales in the playoffs.

Goalscorer bet of the day
Wales v Czech Republic, Sky Sports Premier League, 7.45pm
Adam Hlozek has only one goal to his name for the Czech Republic but is one of the most highly sought-after youngsters in Europe and, in the likely absence of Gareth Bale and Patrik Schick, he looks a decent first goalscorer bet at 9-1 with bet365.

Adam Hlozek to score first
Stat of the day
