1. Spain to beat Croatia — €9 at 1.27
Spain arrive on a ten-match winning run and a 41-game unbeaten streak after Saturday’s 3–1 victory over Czechia. They beat Croatia 4–1 in the reverse fixture, while Croatia must recover from a 7–0 home defeat by England. Ferran Torres has withdrawn with an ankle problem, but Spain’s depth and sustained form outweigh that absence. The short price is reflected in the controlled stake. UEFA preview | current odds
2. England -1.5 v Czechia — €9 at 1.54
England won the reverse meeting 2–0 and then demolished Croatia 7–0. Czechia have lost all three group matches and captain Ladislav Krejčí is suspended after his red card against Spain. England do have a long injury list—Declan Rice, Cole Palmer, Marcus Rashford, Kobbie Mainoo, Nico O’Reilly, Ezri Konsa and Alex Scott are unavailable or doubtful—but Thomas Tuchel’s remaining attack still has enough quality to pursue a two-goal margin at a more useful price than the 1X2 favourite.

3. Scotland to beat Slovenia — €7 at 1.78
Scotland’s 2–0 away win over North Macedonia was their first under Sébastien Pocognoli and produced a clean sheet despite Scott McKenna’s late dismissal. The reverse fixture in Slovenia finished 0–0, but Hampden and the confidence of Saturday’s win tilt this rematch toward the hosts. This remains a moderate stake: Scotland are without Scott McTominay, Che Adams and Kieran Tierney, while Slovenia have attacking and defensive absences of their own.

4. Finland to beat Belarus — €7 at 2.05
Finland lead Group C1 with seven points and have scored nine goals in three matches. Belarus held them 0–0 in Helsinki and now stage this nominal home game in Budapest, so the price is attractive without being safe. Finland have no fresh injury problem, although Kaan Kairinen is suspended; Leo Walta and Joel Pohjanpalo remain the main attacking case for the visitors. The draw risk keeps this at €7.

5. Dodgers–Braves under 6.5 runs — €9 at 1.87
This Game 3 is built around two frontline starters. Atlanta’s Chris Sale went 14–9 with a 2.16 ERA and 200 strikeouts; Los Angeles counters with Yoshinobu Yamamoto at 14–9, a 2.53 ERA and 182 strikeouts. The series is tied 1–1, and Sale enters on six days’ rest. A low total leaves little margin for defensive mistakes or bullpen damage, but the starting matchup is strong enough to make under 6.5 the preferred side.

6. San Diego Padres moneyline — €9 at 1.78
San Diego return home facing elimination at 0–2, but Game 3 offers a clear starting-pitching argument. Nick Pivetta owns a 2.86 ERA and posted a 1.45 ERA over four September starts; Milwaukee’s Dustin May finished 7–9 with a 4.70 ERA. May has been excellent against San Diego this season—a 1.23 ERA in three meetings—so this is not simply a fade of his season line. The Padres’ home field, urgency and Pivetta’s recent form earn the €9 stake. MLB series update | official probable pitchers | current odds board
