All Must Come To Terms With Hostility From Opposing Nations: Accumulator Tip for September 07

The wiles of bemusement choked football lovers as the opening matchday of the Nations League produced bone-chilling thrillers cutting across football oddities. From the Israeli Jews facing a gruesome 3-1 defeat to Belgium – to the French crawling before the Italians – and Romania seizing a flawless 3-0 victory against Kosovo, the action has been unending.

Tomorrow, three games will be arranged in this accumulator, i.e..... Albania crosses paths with Ukraine, the Netherlands faces the Hungarian national squad, and the Flying Dutchman of Netherlands takes a nose dive against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Ukraine vs Albania

The Blue and Yellow of Ukraine clash horns with the Red and Blacks of Albania in Matchday 1. Previous records exemplify Ukraine as the more solid team, generally with three victories in four direct clashes.

With players like Mykhalo Mudryk and Oleksandr Zinchenko running flanks for the Ukrainian side, confidence looks high for a first-day victory, especially against a side that fumbled in the Euro without having a victory to their slate. Their 5-3-2 formation is expected to lock the defence and provide interchangeability for the strikers and the midfielders, who would be expected to fortify the attacking play while minimizing the risks of an opposing counter.

The Albanians pride themselves in their unpredictable reputation, being a side that never goes down without a mean fight. As shown in the Euros, as a team that registered goals against Italy and Croatia, the Ukrainians would be shocked if they fell to the common mistake of underestimation. They flaunt a 4-2-3-1 lineup, keeping the reins on the midfield and the defence lines.

This is expected to be an explosive game. Goals should abound before halftime.

Bet: O 2.5

Greece vs Finland

Finally getting their chance to play in the Nations League, Greece and Finland join the daunting race for first-day comfort. The two sides who push forward without enough leverage to sift the underdogs from favourites are bound by unique pitch demonstrations, with Greece flaunting a 4-3-2-1 and Finland fielding their conservative 4-4-2. This game would be physical, so we don't expect to see sluggishness on either side. As much as the Greeks are brave on the pitch, the Finnish have a history of doggedness. Both sides would comfortably register goals.

Netherlands vs Bosnia and Herzegovina

The Flying Dutchman pulled forces against the combined strength of two nations, Bosnia and Herzegovina, in what is anticipated to be one of the most predictable games of the opening matchday. With unforgiving precision in front of the goal, the Netherlands are reputed to be the ones standing at the final draw of the curtains, especially after having beaten the opposition in the last two direct meetings.

While the defensive lineup of the Flying Dutchman features Virgil Van Dijk, Nathan Ake, Mathijs DeLigt, and D.Dumfries, Cody Gakpo leads the attack with the support of Xavi Skimons and Donyel Malen.

Old man Dzeko leads the attack for the opponents, with Sead Kolasinac in the defence lineup.

Bet: O 2.5
