The UEFA qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup continue coming thick and fast, with another seven group games taking place tonight. As nations continue to battle it out for points in the race to secure a place in the world’s most prestigious football competition, the stakes could not be any higher.
Israel vs Italy
Italy may not have experienced the perfect start to their Group I qualification campaign, but the visitors remain favourites heading into this match against an Israel side that have shown their quality at times in the four group games thus far.
Regardless of Israel’s quality, Italy have shown their superiority in their recent meetings with today’s opponents, including 4-1 and 2-1 victories in recent clashes in September and October 2024.
After Italy’s 5-0 win on Friday, five of their last six matches have consisted of more than 2.5 goals. With that in mind, we predict an Italy win and over 2.5 goals in this one.

Croatia vs Montenegro
Montenegro may have proved themselves as a difficult opponent to face in their recent matches, including a particularly impressive 3-1 win over Turkey in the UEFA Nations League, but they are undoubtedly the underdogs heading into this clash with Croatia.
Croatia have been dominant in Group L of World Cup qualifying, and as they also boast the home advantage in tonight’s encounter, we are expecting a significant home win for Zlatko Dalic’s side.

Belarus vs Scotland
Scott McTominay have consistently shown his goalscoring ability for Scotland, including scoring three in Scotland’s eight Nations League matches in 2024/25, and the midfielder has further demonstrated his ability in front of goal with Napoli since his arrival in summer 2024.
McTominay netted 13 goals in 36 appearances as the midfielder helped lead Napoli to the Serie A title in 2024/25, while he has already netted once in their first two matches of the 2025/26 Serie A campaign.
With McTominay’s goalscoring brilliance, combined with Scotland expected to create plenty of chances against a weaker Belarus opposition, we expect the Napoli midfielder to get on the scoresheet here.

Kosovo vs Sweden
Viktor Gyokeres secured his big-money move to Arsenal this summer after a jaw-dropping record of 97 goals in 102 appearances during a two-year stint for Sporting Lisbon, and the striker has already netted two goals in three games for the Gunners.
Gyokeres’s goalscoring exploits have also been seen in his national career for Sweden, including the forward netting nine times in six appearances as Sweden finished top of League C Group 1 in the UEFA Nations League in 2024/25.
Now heading into this clash with Kosovo, Gyokeres will be expected to lead the line for Sweden, and with the visitors certainly the favourites to dominate and have plenty of success in front of goal, we are expecting the Arsenal forward to get on the scoresheet.
