England vs Montenegro Preview:
Possible starting lineups:
England:
Pickford; Alexander-Arnold, Maguire, Mings, Chilwell; Henderson, Winks, Maddison; Sancho, Kane, Rashford

Petkovic; Vesovic, Lagator, Simic, Bulatovic; Boljevic, Vukcevic, Hocko, Jovovic; Mugosa, Beciraj
Three points from this match will guarantee England the first position in Group A and a place at Euro 2020. Three Lions are leaders in the group with 15 points, while Czech Republic are second with 12 and Kosovo third with 11. Gareth Southgate's men have started the campaign in great style, with four consecutive victories. First they demolished Czech Republic at Wembley (5:0), while in the second match destroyed Montenegro in Podgorica (5:1). Next they beat Bulgaria (4:0) and Kosovo (5:3). The winning series ended in Prague where England lost 2:1 to Czech Republic. That was their first defeat in a European Championship qualifier since November 2007. However, the Three Lions managed to return to the victories quickly as they beat Bulgaria in Sofia with high 5:0. The players confidence is high, but something else could be a problem. The atmosphere in the squad is spoiled following the incident that involved Raheem Sterling and Joe Gomez. It is understood Sterling turned on Gomez in the hotel, and other players pulled them apart. Southgate confirmed that Sterling was the aggressor in the incident. As a result, the Manchester City forward was punished. He is still with the squad, but will play no part in this game, meaning that Jadon Sancho is likely to return to the starting lineup. Pictures from England's training ground on Tuesday appeared to show Joe Gomez with a scratch running from his right eye down his cheek. Southgate said the decision to leave Sterling out of this match has been made with the agreement of the entire squad.
Montenegro are the worst side in Group A, together with Bulgaria. They are at the bottom of the table with only three points. The actual form is poor, they have failed to score in their last four matches in the qualifications. Montenegro lost twice to Czech Republic, both times with 3:0. They also suffered a 2:0 defeat at Kosovo, while shared the points with Bulgaria playing a goalless draw. Coach Faruk Hadzibegic has some additional issues as two most experienced players are not available. Atletico Madrid defender Stefan Savic is out injured, as well as Monaco striker Stevan Jovetic. That's not all as Lazio defender Adam Marusic and Aleksandar Scekic from Partizan Belgrade have also been forced to withdraw from the national team through injuries. The situation isn't good, however Montenegro will not give up easily. They were able to produce problems to England in the past. Montenegro remain unbeaten in three of their five meetings. These two sides drew both Euro 2012 qualifiers, 0:0 in London (12.10.2010) and 2:2 in Podgorica (07.10.2011). The following World Cup qualifier finished with an 1:1 draw (26.03.2013). Montenegro finally suffered defeats in the last two mutual games.
England vs Montenegro Prediction:
England play their 1.000th international match and there will be a celebratory atmosphere inside Wembley. I expect no more than three goals here. Montenegro goalscoring form is poor, they haven't found the back of the net in the last four matches in the qualifications. On other side, a point from this match is enough for England to book a spot at Euro 2020. The absence of Raheem Sterling is another reason for my pick.

Romania vs Sweden Preview:
Possible starting lineups:
Romania:
Tatarusanu; Benzar, Rus, Nedelcearu, Bancu; Deac, Stanciu, Marin, Mitrita; Puscas, Keseru
Sweden:
Olsen; Lustig, Lindelof, Jansson, Bengtsson; Larsson, Olsson, Ekdal, Forsberg; Quaison, Berg
I will start my preview with the actual situation in Group F. Here are the table:
1. Spain 20
2. Sweden 15
----------------
3. Romania 14
4. Norway 11
5. Faroe I. 3
6. Malta 3
As You could see, this is a direct clash for the second place. A victory for Sweden guarantee a ticket for Euro 2020 regardless of other results. In case Romania to win, they will be closer to the second place, although the Romanians have to face group leaders Spain in the last round. A draw is also a good result for Sweden as they will need a victory against poor Faroe Islands in the last round.
Romania have a record of four victories, two draws and two defeats. They are unbeaten on the last three matches, winning two of them. Romania first beat Malta with 1:0 thanks to a second-half goal scored by George Puscas. Next they won 3:0 against Faroe Islands. Three goals were scored by three different players - Puscas, Mitrita and Keseru. In the last round Romania dropped two important points against Norway. Mitrita gave one-goal advantage to his national team, but the Norwegians equalized in the stoppage time. Coach Cosmin Contra will be handicapped for this match as defenders Vlad Chiriches and Dragos Grigore are out injured, as well as striker Florin Andone.
Sweden have four victories, three draws and just one defeat so far. The actual form could be rated as good, two wins and two draws on the last four matches in the group. In the last game they played an 1:1 draw with Spain. Sweden were unlucky to beat the former World Champions as they had one-goal advantage through Marcus Berg, but conceded an injury-time equalizer. Coach Jan Olof Andersson has most of his players available, only the long-term absentees Jakob Johansson and Ludwig Augustinson remain sidelined. Defender Pierre Bengtsson, who missed the weekend match for FC Copenhagen, is rated as doubtful.
Romania vs Sweden Prediction:
I think Sweden are closer to the victory. The Blue and Yellow's are in better form, they almost beat Spain last month. In addition, Romania are without striker Florin Andone who suffered a knee ligament injury while playing for Galatasaray at the weekend.

Northern Ireland vs Netherlands Preview:
Possible starting lineups:
Northern Ireland:
Peacock-Farrell; M. Smith, Cathcart, J. Evans, Ferguson; C. Evans; Dallas, Davis, McNair, Saville; Lafferty
Netherlands:
Cillessen; Veltman, De Ligt, Van Dijk, Blind; Van de Beek, Wijnaldum, F. de Jong; Promes, L. de Jong, Babel
Northern Ireland welcome Netherlands at Windsor Park in Belfast in a very important match for both sides. The hosts are third with 12 points, while Germany and Netherlands are sharing the top of the table with 15 points. Northern Ireland will be looking for victory in this match to stay in battle for automatic promotion for Euro 2020. They have four victories and two defeats so far and this is the crucial match for them. Ireland were not between the favorites for top two positions, though the fact they won four matches until now have to be respected. The campaign started with a 2:0 home victory against Estonia and continued with a 2:1 win over Belarus. The Green and Whites then played with the same opponents, only this time as guests. They won 2:1 at Estonia and 1:0 in Minsk. Nevertheless, Northern Ireland suffered two defeats against the favorites. They lost 2:0 to Germany and lost 3:1 in the reverse fixture with Netherlands. However, Ireland still have a realistic chance to qualify for Euro 2020, but need three points from this game. Manager Michael O'Neill has no injury issues ahead of this match, but some changes are possible. Midfielder Matthew Kennedy could make his debut for Northern Ireland.
The Netherlands have five victories and one defeat so far. They beat Belarus with 4:0 in the first round, while in the second match suffered a 3:2 defeat to Germany. It was a painful defeat, though the revenge came in the next round as the Oranje recorded a 4:2 win in Germany. In the last fixtures Netherlands destroyed Estonia with 4:0, won 3:1 against Northern Ireland in the reverse fixture and won 2:1 against Belarus in Minsk in the last match. Netherlands have recorded four victories on the last four matches in the qualifications and the players confidence is very high. They also played in the final of UEFA Nations League, although lost to Portugal. Coach Ronald Koeman is doing a good job and the fans are satisfied, particularly after the dark period few years ago. Frenkie de Jong has transformed from a prospective talent to a leader on the pitch. For this match Koeman will be without PSV Eindhoven duo Donyell Malen and Steven Bergwijn, while Memphis Depay is rated as doubtful through a hamstring injury. In the last match of these qualifications Netherlands will host Estonia, so a point from Belfast should be enough to book a ticket for next year's Euro.
Northern Ireland vs Netherlands Prediction:
As I've already wrote above, a point from this match should be enough for Netherlands to secure a place for Euro 2020. Nevertheless, I believe they will go for a victory. The quality is on their side, no doubt about that. Koeman's men have already experienced what it’s like to battle Northern Ireland, they won 3:1 at home. Ireland players must go for a victory, so I expect another high scoring match.
Northern Ireland vs Netherlands Pick: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.92 with SBOBet

Bosnia - Italy, indifferent, especially when Finland came early. I expect an open game, the two Nationals, to have aggressive quality and can find a goal
BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA vs ITALY @@ Both team to score, odds 1.70
In 90 minutes, a European Championship qualifier is judged. I believe there will be a tough fight, with a lot of purpose, by both teams. I expect a patience game where the details will be judged, so few goals are a big deal
ROMANIA vs SWEDEN @@ +2.50 Under, odds 1.70
Greece is favored to win the betting pages. Armenia has limited capabilities and is based on the quality of some but few players. Greece, has changed and is racing up, I expect to be serious again and claim victory. It can be an open match with goals and phases
ARMENIA vs GREECE @@+2.50 Over, odds 2.05

Spain vs Malta Prediction
- Malta are rock bottom of Group F, having lost 7 of their 8 qualifiers so far. However, they have generally given a good account of themselves and have avoided large defeats. Spain have been dominant in qualifying but haven’t really blown away the opposition on too many occasions. As such, we will be tipping them for just a 3-0 win, which means backing the visitors on the Asian Handicap.
Under 5 Goals

Brazil vs Argentina Prediction
- Both teams have plenty of attacking talents in their ranks. Given that this will be an exhibition match; we will be expecting some goals here.
- Brazil might have been made favourites by the bookies. However, their recent results have been lacklustre, and they are actually winless in their last 4 friendlies. We think that Argentina can avoid defeat here, and we are tipping this game to end in a 2-2 draw.
