Tuesday's Nations League predictions including Portugal vs. Spain

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

With a spot in the Finals of the 2022-23 UEFA Nations League on the line, Portugal and Spain prepare for battle in League A Group 2 at the Estadio Municipal on Tuesday evening.

Fernando Santos's men ran out 4-0 victors over the Czech Republic in their most recent encounter, while their Iberian counterparts lost their grip on top spot with a 2-1 loss to Switzerland.

We say: Portugal 2-1 Spain


Spain's frontline did not cut the mustard against Switzerland, but Enrique's side always seem to have a knack for scoring goals, and they will be forced to go all out on that front if they are to stand a chance of progressing.

Such an approach will of course leave La Roja vulnerable to Portugal's pace on the counter, and the Selecao can take advantage to snatch victory and seal their place in the Nations League Finals.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Switzerland vs. Czech Republic (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

With both sides still facing the threat of relegation from the top UEFA Nations League division, Switzerland and the Czech Republic do battle at Kybunpark in League A Group 2 on Tuesday night.

The Rossocrociati claimed a surprise 2-1 win on Spain's turf at the weekend, while Jaroslav Silhavy's side were thumped 4-0 by a fellow Iberian side in Portugal.

We say: Switzerland 2-0 Czech Republic


Even with the welcome return of Schick, finding the back of the net has not been the Czech Republic's forte, and the absence of Akanji is unlikely to help the visitors too much in that regard.

After quelling the Czech's shot-shy attack, Switzerland can venture forward and cause Silhavy's side all sort of problems as the visitors go all out to win, so we can only back the Rossocrociati to retain their League A status at the expense of their opponents.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Rep. Ireland vs. Armenia (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Republic of Ireland play host to Armenia in the UEFA Nations League on Tuesday evening knowing that a draw will be enough to retain their place in League B.

However, Armenia make the journey to Dublin aware that victory will secure their own status at this tier and relegate their opponents in the process.

We say: Republic of Ireland 2-1 Armenia


Having already defeated Republic of Ireland in this group, Armenia will have every confidence that they can battle their way to a win in Dublin. That said, it would represent some turnaround after Saturday's defeat versus Ukraine, and we feel that the home side should have enough quality to come through this contest with three points.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Ukraine vs. Scotland (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Scotland make the trip to Krakow to face Ukraine in the UEFA Nations League knowing that a draw will be enough to earn promotion to the top tier of this competition.

However, Ukraine will take that spot in League A if they prevail against opponents who they are meeting for the third time in as many months.

We say: Ukraine 1-1 Scotland


Both teams will be confident of claiming their desired result on Tuesday evening, belief which should set up a thrilling encounter. Ukraine's players will feel more rested given that they coasted past Armenia, but we feel that Scotland will show the heart and desire to scrap their way to an all-important point.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Albania vs. Iceland (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Albania take on Iceland in Group F of the UEFA Nations League on Tuesday.

The match is essentially a dead rubber, after Albania's 2-1 defeat in Tel Aviv on Saturday saw Israel promoted to League A.

We say: Albania 1-1 Iceland


Iceland have drawn all three of their Nations League matches in this campaign, and we can envisage that run continuing on Tuesday.

Neither side have much to play for, so they may be content with avoiding defeat.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Norway vs. Serbia (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

With promotion to the UEFA Nations League's top tier at stake, Norway and Serbia clash in Oslo on Tuesday evening, in a winner-takes-all encounter.

Locked together on points atop League B Group 4, the two sides meet on the final day knowing that - due to their head-to-head record - anything other than a Serbian victory would see the hosts seal first place.

We say: Norway 1-2 Serbia


While Norway are reliant on one man to fire them to success, Serbia's all-round attacking riches mean that they can even win when their backs are against the wall. At the end of an entertaining shootout, it could be the visitors that ascend to the Nations League's top flight.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

Sweden vs. Slovenia (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

In a battle to avoid demotion to the UEFA Nations League's third tier, Sweden and Slovenia clash in Stockholm on Tuesday night.

The hosts must win to retain their place in League B following a disappointing Group 4 campaign to date, any other result would see the Slovenes stay up at their expense.

We say: Sweden 2-1 Slovenia


Though they may struggle to keep a clean sheet, having conceded at a rate of two goals per game in their last five matches, Sweden can snatch League B survival on the final day. If some talented forwards can click, then the hosts will edge out a Slovenia side lacking two top players through suspension.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Greece vs. N. Ireland (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Northern Ireland are sweating on their status in League C ahead of their trip to Greece in the UEFA Nations League on Tuesday.

The hosts have already secured promotion to League B after winning their first four matches of the current campaign.

We say: Greece 1-1 Northern Ireland


We expect N. Ireland to dig in and make life very difficult for Greece, who looked like a side going through the motions in their defeat to Cyprus at the weekend.

A point is likely to be enough to see the visitors survive in League C, so Baraclough may set his team up to attempt to avoid defeat first and foremost.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Kosovo vs. Cyprus (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Cyprus will travel to Kosovo on Tuesday for the final game of the UEFA Nations League campaign, with both sides hoping to avoid a place in the relegation play-outs.

The hosts, who occupy second place in Group C2, are currently one point clear of bottom-placed Cyprus ahead of the final matchday.

We say: Kosovo 2-1 Cyprus


Cyprus have never won away in the UEFA Nations League, and after losing 2-0 to Kosovo in the reverse fixture, we think that they will fall to a narrow defeat on Tuesday.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
