Horse Racing Nations League Best Bets: Thursday June 9th
The Nations League rumbles on and there is nine matches for us to get stuck into on Thursday. It’s been a tricky tournament to predict so far, with many managers using the games as an opportunity to assess their fringe players in a World Cup year, but hopefully, we can build on the three winners in my last preview.
Nations League Best Bets: Thursday, June 9th
- Greece vs Cyprus: Greece To Win, Both Teams To Score No & Under 4 Goals
- Switzerland vs Spain: Spain To Score 2 Or More
- Kosovo vs Northern Ireland: Under 1.5 Goals
Nations League acca is available at 9.69
Odds via bet365 as at 11:00 on June 9th 2022. Odds may now differ.
Greece vs Cyprus Best Bet
Thursday, June 9th, 19:45 (UK Time)
Greece come into this match in good form and they will be looking to secure the three points against Cyprus in front of their home fans. Greece have won the last three meetings between these sides and I’m expecting them to repeat that here.
The Greek national team are known for their defensive approach, and we’ve had some success backing their game to have very few goals recently. Their last four matches have all finished 1-0, and their last 10 matches average just 1.6 goals per game.
Under 2.5 goals has landed in Cyprus’ last four matches, with two of those matches finishing 0-0 and the other two finishing 2-0. The visitors have won just one of their last 10 matches and they have failed to score in seven of those.
Using the bet365 bet builder, we can get odds of 1.95 for Greece to win, both teams to score no and under 4 goals in the match. I think the visitors will struggle to break down the home side here and the home side doesn’t score many goals themselves. However, Greece are more than capable of getting a couple against poor opposition here, so the builder gives us some security.
- Selection: Greece To Win, Both Teams To Score No & Under 4 Goals
- Best Odds: 1.95 (Bet 365)
- Stake: 8/10
Switzerland vs Spain Best Bet
Thursday, June 9th, 19:45 (UK Time)
Spain will be very disappointed with their Nations League campaign so far, with two draws against the Czech Republic and Portugal respectively in this international break. Luis Enrique’s are looking to lay down a marker ahead of the winter in Qatar, and a Switzerland side who have struggled in recent matches could be the perfect opportunity for them to flex their muscles.
Switzerland conceded four goals in their last match against Portugal and Spain will fancy their chances of netting a couple as well. The Spaniards are averaging 2.1 goals per game in their last 10 matches, and Switzerland’s usually solid defence has appeared shaky in their recent matches.
Bet365 have Spain priced at 1.90 to score two goals in the match, and they’re more than capable of doing so.
- Selection: Spain To Score 2 Or More
- Best Odds: 2.00 (Bet 365)
- Stake: 7/10

Kosovo vs Northern Ireland Best Bet
Thursday, June 9th, 19:45 (UK Time)
Kosovo are a relatively new footballing nation and their recent form has been poor to say the least. They have recorded just two victories in their last 10 matches, but they will be facing another struggling nation in the form of Northern Ireland here.
Northern Ireland have won three of their last 10 matches, and goals have been scarce. Their matches in that period are averaging just 1.3 goals per game, and I think this game will also be low on goals.
The visitors have failed to score in their last three matches, and have only scored against Lithuania and Luxembourg in their last six. Despite being minnows, Kosovo do not concede a large number of goals and their opponents average just 1.3 goals per game in their last 10 matches.
Under 1.5 goals in the match is 3.00 with bet365, and I’m happy to back this given the blunt attacks of both teams. The players have endured a long season and fatigue should help to keep the goal count down in a game where there is a severe lack of quality on the pitch.
- Selection: Under 1.5 Goals
- Best Odds: 3.00 (Bet 365)
- Stake: 6/10

WHAT IS A FOOTBALL ACCA?
A football acca is an accumulator bet, a type of bet that consists of several selections across different matches that are combined together into one single bet. An acca usually. consists of at least four selections but many more can be included. There will be odds for the single bet as a whole which is calculated by multiplying the odds of all of the selections. A football acca is one of the most popular ways to bet. This is the case because they can create potentially massive odds for a small stake. Many punters choose to create football accas which is what we have created here. If one of these selections loses then the football acca will lose. This type of bet needs every selection to win in order to succeed.
