Clash for a Spot in the World Cup: Accumulator Tip for September 04

World Cup qualification rounds continue in Europe with Luxembourg battling Northern Ireland at the Luxembourg Stadium. The Netherlands will welcome Poland to Stadion Feijenoord, and Slovakia will slug it out against Germany at Tehelné Pole. Below are analyses of the games and acca odds. 

Luxembourg vs Northern Ireland

It is going to be a big battle at the Luxembourg Stadium with the visitors looking to avenge against a team they always find hard to defeat. The hosts have won three of their last four head-to-head clashes against Northern Ireland and are unbeaten in all four. The two sides have always been involved in entertaining clashes, with recent games between them seeing goals when played on Luxembourg soil. However, I don’t think I will back the hosts in this game as they have only managed one win in their last 12 games. Moreover, the visitors have scored four goals in the previous four games. With this, I think both sides will score in this clash.

Possible Starting 11

Luxembourg – Anthony Moris, Florian Bohnert, Seid Korac, Marvin Martins, Mica Pinto, Laurent Jans, Leandro Barreiro, Christopher Martins, Mathis Olesen, Yvandro Borges Sanches, Alessio Curci.

Northern Ireland — Luke Southwood, Trai Hume, Ruairi McConville, Paddy McNair, Conor Bradley, Isaac Price, Shea Charles, Justin Devenny, Paul Smyth, Callum Marshall, Jamie Donley.

Netherlands vs Poland

Netherlands are in a super form at the moment, and nothing will likely stop them from getting a win in this clash. They enter this clash having won their first two games in the group, from a 2-0 victory over Finland to a massive 8-0 win over Malta. Interestingly, the hosts have managed to win five of their last six games against Poland. On the contrary, Poland began their journey with a 1-0 win over Lithuania before recording a 2-0 win over Malta. They suffered a 2-1 defeat to Finland in their last game and will have a high hill to climb in this clash. The visitors have lost seven of their previous 13 games. With this, I expect the hosts to get an easy win.

Possible Starting 11

Netherlands — Bart Verbruggen, Denzel Dumfries, Virgil van Dijk, Nathan Aké, Micky van de Ven, Frenkie de Jong, Tijjani Reijnders, Ryan Gravenberch, Xavi Simons, Memphis Depay, Cody Gakpo.

Poland — Łukasz Skorupski, Matty Cash, Jan Bednarek, Jakub Kiwior, Paweł Wszołek, Piotr Zieliński, Sebastian Szymański, Nicola Zalewski, Jakub Kamiński, Robert Lewandowski, Przemysław Frankowski.

Slovakia vs Germany

Germany will hope to have an excellent international break against Slovakia at Tehelne Pole. The hosts are on fire, having remained unbeaten in eight of their last ten games. They are also exceptional on the road, where they remain unbeaten in four straight games in all competitions. On the other hand, Slovakia have not won any of their last four games in all competitions. The previous match between the two sides ended in a 3-0 win for Germany.

Possible Starting 11

Slovakia — Martin Dúbravka, Norbert Gyömbér, Milan Škriniar, Ivan Mesík, Dávid Hancko, Stanislav Lobotka, Matúš Bero, Ondrej Duda, Tomáš Suslov, Ivan Schranz, Róbert Boženík.
