UEFA Nations League quarter-final first leg predictions: 20/03/2025
Spain to win either half: Netherlands vs Spain
- Date: 20/03/2025
- Kick-off: 20:45
- Spain may be in great form, but they struggle against the Netherlands. However, we expect them to outscore the Dutchmen in at least one half.
Spain are in great form, having won nine and drawn one in their last ten matches across all competitions. They struggle when they come up against the Netherlands, but because the Dutchmen have struggled to maintain consistency, having won four of their last 10 matches, we expect the Spanish men to win in at least one half.
Netherlands vs Spain prediction: Away team to win either half - yes
Croatia and France to exchange goals: Croatia vs France
- Date: 20/03/2025
- Kick-off: 20:45
- Both teams consistently score goals when they face each other, and we anticipate that they will continue to do so in the upcoming game.
Both teams have met against each other several times in different competitions, but in their last five meetings, both countries found the back of the net on three occasions.
Croatia vs France prediction: Both teams to score - yes
Portugal to avoid a defeat: Denmark vs Portugal
- Date: 20/03/2025
- Kick-off: 20:45
- Portugal are in superb form, and we don’t expect them to succumb to a defeat against struggling Denmark.
Portugal are unbeaten in their last six matches, having won five and drawn one. They come up against a struggling Denmark side that won just two in their last six games. It is an away game, yes, but we expect Cristiano Ronaldo’s side to avoid a defeat at least and finish the job off in the return leg.
Portugal vs Denmark prediction: Away team to win or draw
Italy and Germany to entertain fans with goals: Italy vs Germany
- Date: 20/03/2025
- Kick-off: 20:45
- Goals are usually scored in matches involving either team, and we expect the same in the upcoming game.
Four of Germany’s last six matches ended with at least three goals, while five of Italy’s last six matches ended with over 2.5 goals. With both teams scoring goals for fun, we expect three or more goals to be scored in the upcoming game.
