Meanwhile, the visitors will be desperate for a positive result after losing each of their last five international matches.

Andorra have failed to score in each of their last five matches and with the visitors struggling to provide an attacking threat, we think the hosts will capitalize on their opponent's weakness to secure a fifth win in six internationals.

Clash on neutral turf at Bozic Arena in Budapest, Israel And France UEFA will resume Nations League campaigns on Thursday evening League A Group 2.

Didier Deschamps' side collected three points from their first two matches last month, while their 'hosts' sit bottom of the division after two defeats in September.

We say: Israel 0-3 France

It may take France a while to adjust to life without Griezmann in attack – at least France without Mbappe this month – but they've managed it well. Belgium And there should be no problem in working here.

Israel have a couple of bright talents in the final third, but none that could pose a serious threat to a solid Bleus backline; Deschamps' men have our votes to win this one comfortably.

Setting the pace in League A Group 2 after an excellent start to September, Italy The UEFA Nations League welcomes Belgium to Rome on Thursday.

Despite the Azzurri taking maximum points last month, the Red Devils were lambasted by their own captain following another poor defeat to France.

We say: Italy 2-1 Belgium

Although a new generation of talent is emerging to replace the 'golden' old guard, all is not well in the Belgian camp. Meanwhile, Italy are starting to rediscover their identity after a brief spell in the wilderness after their Euro 2020 triumph.

With fresh legs in midfield and an impressive line-up of defenders, the Azzurri should see off their visitors and take nine points from nine in Group 2.

To make it three for three under Lee Carsley's wing, England host Greece Thursday evening at Wembley League B Group 2 of the UEFA Nations League.

The midweek encounter is already a good one, with the visitors leading to a slightly higher goal difference thanks to their own stellar September results.

We say: England 2-0 Greece

Even if September man Ioannidis is without his attacking presence, the likes of Pavlidis and Dasos Bagasetas could still provide Greece with a significant attacking threat, but the former European champions have failed to score in seven of their previous nine meetings with England.

We can imagine an eight out of 10 at Wembley, without a fully fit Kane and England having the firepower to extend Carsley's 100% start at Jovanovic's expense.

Having already stumbled in League B Group 3, Finland and the Republic of Ireland Both will try to get up and running in the UEFA Nations League when they play in the third match on Thursday.

Neither side have picked up a point in September, so a head-to-head scrap for survival could begin when they meet at the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki.

We say: Finland 1-1 Republic of Ireland

Although they tend to struggle on the road, Finland have won both of their last two home matches and now face a hopeless Irish side – but the Boys in Green boast some attacking talent.

Both teams will realize that this is one of their best chances to get three points, so the game opens up and the score ends in a draw.

Both will be looking for their first UEFA Nations League win of the season, Austria And Kazakhstan Gathered in Linz on Thursday evening.

Three points behind the leading pair in League B Group 3, both teams will be eager to secure a win and ease fears of relegation.

We say: Austria 3-0 Kazakhstan

Although they are showing signs of improvement, Kazakhstan are still ranked 109th in FIFA's world rankings and are yet to score a goal at League B level.

After a sluggish start to September, Austria should be motivated enough to go through the gears and secure maximum points on Thursday.

Norway And Slovenia The two will be looking to maintain their unbeaten run to the 2024-25 UEFA Nations League when they meet in Oslo on Saturday.

The two countries are tied on four points in League B Group 3, three points clear of Austria and Kazakhstan.

We say: Norway 2-2 Slovenia

Both Norway and Slovenia have significant firepower in their sides, with the likes of Zorloth, Holland and Cesko expected to start on Thursday.

With that in mind, we think the match should produce goals, but we also believe both teams should be balanced in a close encounter.

In their third game in the group stage UEFA Nations League CThe Faroe Islands host Armenia in Torsvollur on Thursday.

The home side are last in the four-team group with one point from two games, while the visitors are second with three points and lost 2-0 against North Macedonia in the match on September 10.

We say: Faroe Islands 0-2 Armenia

Given that Armenia have won two of their last three games in all competitions, it should come as no surprise that they come into Thursday's clash hoping to make amends at the last minute.

Additionally, the Faroe Islands' attacking record in recent matches has been poor and it is difficult to see how they will get back into the game if they concede first.

The hosts are second in their three-team group with one point after a 2-2 draw with Liechtenstein on September 8, while the away side are top with three points after a match following a 1-0 win against the same opposition on September 5. . .

We say: Gibraltar 2-0 San Marino

While San Marino are still happy with their recent win, their poor record in both friendlies and competitive matches should make them second favorites for Thursday's clash.

Gibraltar are also unbeaten in their last three and it wouldn't be a surprise if they take the lead this time around.
