Tips of the day

UEFA Nations LeagueWon4:1

SpainCroatia

Why this pick: I think the Croatians are not the kind of team that will be psychologically intimidated, so the Chequered Ones are definitely capable of fighting back in the upcoming match against Spain. In Spain’s case, we also see no decline, while competition in all lines is high, so everyone will want to prove themselves.

UEFA Nations LeagueWon2:0

SloveniaFYR Macedonia

Why this pick: Both teams have obvious problems in attack. However, North Macedonia's problems are more serious, and the team is also playing away and is inferior to its opponent in class. I do not expect a high-scoring match and do not think Slovenia will lose at home.

UEFA Nations LeagueLost0:3

ScotlandSwitzerland

Why this pick: I believe that the Scotland and Switzerland national teams will be able to score against each other. The visitors possess a high level of quality and a strong attacking line. Scotland are also decent, created enough chances in the first round, and now have home-field advantage. I think both teams will be able to score in this match.

FriendliesLost2:4

AustraliaBrazil

Why this pick: I do not see Brazil as an obvious favorite to rout the Australian national team. The hosts have the advantage of home field, a well-organized defensive setup, and just a few days ago they already proved their competitiveness in the head-to-head match. I believe Brazil will not score more than 2 goals.

Why this pick: Tsitsipas is still far from his peak form, but the Greek desperately needs points to climb the rankings and return to a more familiar role. That is why this ATP 500 event is important to him. He has an excellent opportunity to qualify for the main draw. The opponent is not the easiest, but Stef has a powerful serve and forehand, which is enough at this level to qualify for the main draw.
