This week’s soccer card is an international window: the UEFA Nations League runs from Thursday, September 24, to Tuesday, September 29, with 52 games, and the top European club leagues are off. Our predictions for all eight of Friday’s Nations League games are out, and the headline game is Spain at England at Wembley on Saturday at 2:45 p.m. ET.
ESPN lists no Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A or Ligue 1 games from September 24 to 30. MLS plays 14 games on Saturday, so the Nations League and MLS are this week’s whole card.
Our bets for Friday’s Nations League games
Each bet below is quoted from our own prediction for that game, as it read on September 24, 2026 (last updated September 22), with the price it was taken at and the worst price at which it still holds. If the market has moved past that limit, the prediction treats the game as a pass.
| Kickoff (ET) | Game | Our bet | Playable to |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12:00 p.m. | Latvia at Armenia | Under 2.5 goals -118 | -125 |
| 12:00 p.m. | Northern Ireland at Georgia | Under 2.5 goals -130 | -140 |
| 2:45 p.m. | Ukraine at Hungary | Under 2.5 goals -134 | -145 |
| 2:45 p.m. | Belgium at Italy | Over 2.5 goals -125 | -135 |
| 2:45 p.m. | Cyprus at Montenegro | Montenegro moneyline -155 | -165 |
| 2:45 p.m. | Bosnia-Herzegovina at Poland | Poland moneyline -155 | -165 |
| 2:45 p.m. | Romania at Sweden | Over 2.5 goals -160 | -170 |
| 2:45 p.m. | France at Türkiye | Under 3.5 goals -150 | -160 |
Six of the eight are goal totals and two are the home side on the moneyline, Montenegro and Poland, both at -155. In France at Türkiye the prediction lists France at -210 on the moneyline and takes the under 3.5 instead.
Lines on international games can move quickly once the starting lineups are confirmed. Check the price against the limit in the table before you bet it, since a bet at -125 is a different bet at -140.
