Sweden travels to Azerbaijan in what will be Jon Dahl Tomasson’s first competitive match in charge.

Azerbaijan have won two of their last four matches since being thrashed 5-0 away at Belgium in Euro 2024 qualifying, as they beat Mongolia 1-0 and Kazakhstan 3-2 on either side of a 1-1 draw with Bulgaria and a 3-1 loss at Albania.

Sweden are on a two game losing run having suffered 3-0 and 2-1 defeats to Serbia and Denmark after earning 1-0 and 2-1 wins over Albania and Estonia while being beaten 5-2 by Portugal in-between the aforementioned victories.

Estonia versus Slovakia is the next game to feature on this Smart Acca.

The home side are on a five game losing streak as they have been beaten by Switzerland 4-0, Finland 2-1, Poland 5-1, Sweden 2-1 and Sweden 2-0.

Meanwhile, Slovakia gave a good account of themselves at Euro 2024, as prior to their 2-1 loss to England, they had drawn 1-1 with Romania after a 2-1 defeat to Ukraine and a stunning 1-0 win over Belgium. Their last international friendly before the European Championships saw them thrash Wales 4-0.

Northern Ireland hosts Luxembourg at Windsor Park in the Nations League.

Michael O’Neill’s side have won three of their last five matches, beating the likes of Denmark 2-0 and Scotland 1-0 on either side of a 1-1 draw with Romania, before suffering a 5-1 loss to Spain and earning a 2-0 victory over Andorra.

Luxembourg enter this match on a two-game losing run following consecutive 3-0 losses against Belgium and France after winning 2-1 and 1-0 against Kazakhstan and Liechtenstein. The visitors suffered a 2-0 loss to Georgia in-between their most recent victories, which consequentially ended their chances of qualifying for Euro 2024.

Portugal takes on Croatia in what should be an intriguing match-up in the Nations League.

Roberto Martinez’s men were beaten quarter-finalists at Euro 2024 as they suffered a penalty shootout loss to France in the quarter-finals. Portugal scraped through the Round of 16 on penalties against Slovenia as they were held to a 0-0 draw. In the Group stages, the home side suffered a 2-0 defeat to Georgia after beating Turkey 3-0 and Czechia 2-1.

Croatia had a disappointing Euro 2024 campaign as they failed to advance from their group, following 1-1 and 2-2 draws with Italy and Albania after being thrashed 3-0 by Spain. Zlatko Dalic’s men managed to beat Portugal 2-1 and North Macedonia 3-0 in international friendlies before last summer’s European Championship.

Euro 2024 winners Spain make the trip to Serbia in the UEFA Nations League.

Serbia exited the Euros at the group stages following 0-0 and 1-1 draws with Denmark and Slovenia after a 1-0 loss to England. Pre-Euro 2024, they managed to beat Sweden 3-0 after a 2-1 defeat to Austria.

Spain have won all of their last five matches, as they won three games in a row via 2-1 scorelines at Euro 2024 against England, France and Germany after thrashing Georgia 4-1 and narrowly beating Albania 1-0 in their last group stage fixture.
