It’s easy to forget there’s a trophy up for grabs in the Nations League as most countries view it as a backdoor entry to major tournaments.
The competition has been good to Scotland, offering us a route to Euro 2020 and providing a backup for Germany 2024 if a promising start to qualifying peters out.
But victories will be hard to come by in the next Nations League after Steve Clarke’s side won promotion to the top tier.
And we’ll get a taste of what lies in wait over the next two days as the semi-finals take place.
First up is a clash between Holland and Croatia tonight, with the Dutch McBookie’s hot favourites as they are hosting the showpiece games.
They are just 40/85 to reach the final but the odds increase to 20/21 if you back Ronald Koeman’s men to win in 90 minutes.
Croatia are 8/5 to go through and 14/5 to get the job done without extra time or penalties.
The Netherlands shipped four to France in their first Euro qualifier while the Croats have scored in five of their last six games.
That suggests BTTS stands a good chance tonight and it pays a best evens at Betfair.
Cody Gakpo was starting to hit his stride at Liverpool as the season came to an end. He should start for the Dutch and is 11/4 with Paddy Power for a goal.
Ivan Perisic is always a goal threat for Croatia and Unibet price the Spurs man at 13/10 just to have a shot on target.
Super singles: BTTS (Evs, Betfair). Perisic shot on target (13/10, Unibet)
McBookie bet builder: Combining a Dutch win in 90 mins with over 1.5 cards pays 104/100.
