International football takes centre stage this week after an enthralling 2024-25 domestic season.
An array of European 2026 World Cup Qualifiers will be on show this weekend, with some of the world’s best on show – including Belgium, England and Italy.
So, read on for some online sports betting tips focused on these upcoming fixtures, which you can use in your football bets.
*All odds are subject to change
Norway to beat Italy @ 2.49
We start with a bit of a risk, but hosts Norway are on a superb run of form. In fact, the Scandinavians have won their last four matches across all competitions, scoring 18 goals in the process. With some of the world’s best attacking players in Erling Haaland, Martin Odegaard and Alexander Sorloth, the Norwegians have what it takes to defeat Italy. Luciano Spalletti’s side are three matches without a win, having fallen short to Germany in the UEFA Nations League quarter-finals, so this could be Norway’s time to claim a first-ever win over the Italians.
Gibraltar vs Croatia: Over 4.5 goals in the match @ 2.08
This really is a mismatch and 2022 World Cup semi-finalists Croatia should be far too strong for minnows Gibraltar, who lost 4-0 to Czech Republic in their previous qualifier. On paper, Croatia are a far stronger outfit than the Czechs, hence why we are tipping there to be more than four goals when these two teams collide. Gibraltar famously lost 14-0 to France in November 2023 and they have been thrashed by numerous nations in recent times, so we fancy Croatia to join that club.
Declan Rice to score anytime for England vs Andorra @ 5.00
It was hard to find any real value in England goalscorers vs Andorra, but we may have found a gem here with Rice. The Arsenal superstar has evolved into a more attack-minded midfielder since swapping West Ham for the Emirates, finishing the 2024-25 campaign with nine goals across all competitions. Furthermore, Rice assisted in each of England’s first two 2026 World Cup Qualifiers against Albania and Latvia, so it seems quite clear that he is evolving into a genuine candidate in the goalscorer market. Maybe take advantage now while the odds are so good!
Serbia to beat Albania @ 1.97
To say this will be a fiery fixture in Tirana is something of an understatement. Albania and Serbia do not like each other one bit, so expect the referee to be very, very busy. But in the end, we fancy Serbia to pick up the win and get their qualification campaign off to the perfect start. Serbia beat Austria 3-1 on aggregate in the Nations League Play-Offs, a result which further highlights that they are a team to be reckoned with. Albania have won only two of their last six matches in all competitions, a level of inconsistency they need to eradicate to stand a chance of reaching next summer’s World Cup.
