San Marino vs Cyprus
San Marino enters the match after a tough 10–0 loss to Austria, which highlighted their major defensive weaknesses. They were already at the bottom without any points, having scored just one goal while conceding 18. They struggle to maintain control in the midfield and protect their penalty area. In this situation, the home team’s playing style will likely lean towards extreme defense, as they try to avoid another defeat on their home ground.
On the other hand, Cyprus drew 2–2 with Bosnia and Herzegovina. This draw is important because it shows their character to come back in the game and their ability to create chances against a higher-ranked opponent. After playing 6 matches, they have only achieved one win, along with 3 losses and 2 draws. They are solid in attack with 7 goals scored so far, but they have also conceded nine. In the attack, Ioannis Pittas stands out, having scored 3 goals so far.
Cyprus is a much stronger team, having defeated their current opponent at home 2:0 in this qualifying cycle, so we expect a similar scenario today.

vs
Faroe Islands vs Czech Republic
The Faroe Islands come in with a lot of confidence after their 4-0 win against Montenegro. They didn’t control the game much, but they turned almost every chance into a goal. This result showed their strong defense and effectiveness from set pieces, as well as quick counterattacks. In previous matches, they lost narrowly to tough teams, losing 0-1 to Croatia and 2-1 to today’s opponent. A key question is whether they can replicate their effectiveness against a stronger and more disciplined rival.
They are currently in 3rd place with 9 points, having scored 8 goals and conceded 5. In attack, Arni Frederiksberg has been excellent, scoring 3 goals and providing 2 assists so far.
Czech Republic drew without scoring against Croatia at home and now has the same number of points as Croatia, but has played more matches. They have a strong offense, having scored 11 goals so far, while conceding 6. After 6 games, they have achieved 4 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss. The individual talent is high with Pavel Sulc and Vaclav Cerny in the midfield, but a big disadvantage for the team is the absence of Patrik Schick due to injury.
The psychological boost is on the side of the hosts, who won their last home match and scored 4 goals, but the individual quality of today’s opponent is much greater. We expect at least one goal from both teams.

Netherlands vs Finland
Netherlands arrives after a routine victory of 4-0 against Malta, which continues their trend of having the most effective attack in the group. So far, they have scored 18 goals and conceded only 3. They are in first place with 13 points earned so far, and after 5 matches played, they remain undefeated with 4 wins and 1 draw.
In every match, they have a high possession rate and create many scoring chances. The team is led by Ronald Koeman, and in attack, Memphis Depay has scored 6 goals so far, while Gakpo and Malen have each scored 2 goals.
Finland defeated Lithuania 2-1 at home and is currently in 3rd place with 10 points. They have the same number of points as Poland, who is in 2nd place, but Finland has played one more match. After 6 matches, they have achieved 3 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses. In their first match against today’s opponent, they were outplayed and lost 0-2.
If they can withstand the initial pressure and limit the width of the Dutch team, they might be able to secure a draw. So far, they have scored 8 goals and conceded 9. Kallman has scored 3 goals, but his presence in this match is under question due to an injury.
According to the current situation, the Netherlands is on the verge of another convincing victory. They have a great offense, while Finland’s defense has some major weaknesses. We expect the home team to win and at least score 3 goals during the match.

vs
Scotland vs Belarus
Scotland is on a winning streak in this match after defeating Greece 3-1. They conceded their first goal in this qualifying cycle, as they didn’t let any goals in during the first two matches. After playing 3 matches, they are in 2nd place with 7 points, the same number of points as Denmark. So far, they have scored 5 goals and only allowed one goal, with two wins and one draw. The team is led by Steve Clarke, and in the attack, they have Adams and Hirst, who have each scored one goal so far.
Belarus comes into this match after losing 0-6 to Denmark, and they also lost their first two matches. Their main issue is their defense against teams that play with high intensity. The only solution is extreme defense, but that strategy hasn’t worked so far. They have only scored one goal and have conceded 13, and since they still have no points, they can’t expect much more from this qualifying cycle.
Scotland is a clear favorite in this match, and we expect them to win and score at least two goals.

vs
Croatia vs Gibraltar
Croatia played to a draw against Czech Republic on their home ground without scoring any goals. After 5 matches, they have achieved 4 wins and 1 draw, totaling 13 points, which is the same as Czech Republic, but they have played one less game. They have scored 17 goals and conceded only one, indicating strong control of the game pace.
A key factor in their performance is the number of players scoring goals, Kramaric has netted 6 goals so far, Perisic has 3, and both Ivanovic and Budimir have scored 2 goals each. Coach Zlatko Dalic can be pleased with how well his players are performing.
Gibraltar comes from a series of tough losses; in the last round, they were defeated by Faroe Islands at home with a score of 0-1, and previously, they conceded at least 4 goals from stronger teams. After 5 matches, they have lost all 5, scoring only 2 goals while allowing 17. They have not earned any points yet and based on their current form, they are definitely the underdogs in the group.
Croatia is one of the best teams in the world, and in this match, the only question is how many goals they will score. In their first match against Gibraltar, they scored 7 goals, and in this upcoming match, we expect at least 4 goals.

vs
Denmark vs Greece
Denmark is in great shape and recently defeated Belarus 0-6 away, and before that, they beat Greece 0-3 also as guests. In their first match, they drew with Scotland with no goals. They have played 3 matches without conceding a goal and have scored 9 goals. The Danes have a strong pressing game and a solid midfield that allows them to control the center of the field. The most effective player is Rasmus Hojlund with 3 goals, followed by Anders Dreyer with 2 goals.
On the other hand, Greece lost to Scotland 1-3 away and previously lost 0-3 to today’s opponent. Even though they have some offensive strengths, their defensive inconsistency is a problem against teams that play wide and circulate the ball quickly. Tactically, the guests will likely try to slow down the game. The team is led by Ivan Jovanovic, who relies on Pavlidis and Tzolis in attack.
The match is expected to see Denmark dictate the pace, and we anticipate an early lead for the home team, who have shown that all their lines on the field are working excellently.

vs
Lithuania vs Poland
Lithuania couldn’t manage to score any points during their away game in Finland, losing 2–1. They also faced a narrow defeat of 2–3 in the Netherlands earlier. So far, they have scored 6 goals but conceded 9, placing them in 4th position. They still haven’t won after playing 6 matches, with 3 draws and 3 losses. With only 3 points earned, they have no chance of qualifying for the World Cup. A key player for them is Gvidas Gineitis, who plays in midfield and has scored 3 goals in this qualifying cycle.
Poland is improving their form. In the last round, they defeated Finland 3-1 at home and are now in 2nd place with 10 points. Since they have the same number of points as Finland, they can’t afford to drop points in the remaining matches. However, having one less match played gives them a significant advantage. After 5 matches, they have achieved 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, scoring 8 goals and conceding 4.
In attack, they will have Lewandowski and Swiderski, who have each scored two goals so far, along with a solid midfield featuring Kaminski and Zielinski.
Poland has a better quality lineup and boasts a great midfield that can control the game. They also have attackers who can easily punish the mistakes of the opposing defense.

vs
Romania vs Austria
Romania played a 2–2 draw in their away game against Cyprus, and before that, they had inconsistent performances. After 5 matches, they achieved 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses. Their attack is working well, having scored 10 goals, while they have conceded 6 so far. They are currently in 3rd place with 7 points, which is already 6 points behind the 2nd place team, Bosnia, but they have one less match played. They cannot afford to make any mistakes in the remaining games if they want to reach 2nd place.
The team is led by Mircea Lucescu, who has a solid squad, with several players from the attack and midfield managing to score in this qualifying cycle.
Austria is in great form and comes into this match after a big win against San Marino, finishing 10:0. They are at the top of the group with a perfect score of 15 points, having achieved 5 wins in 5 matches played. They have an excellent offense with 19 goals scored, and a strong defense, allowing only two goals so far. Arnautovic has scored 6 goals, Gregoritsch has three, and Laimer has two goals. They play at a fast pace, not giving the opponent any space in the midfield.
Romania has the quality to challenge Austria, but still, the form and discipline in their play are on the guest’s side. Austria is the favorite, but considering that even one point is very important for the host, we can expect at least one goal from both sides.
