- Recommended bets:
- Antonio Nusa to score against Estonia
- Sandro Tonali to score against Moldova
- Croatia to beat the Czech Republic
European qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup continue on Monday with six matches taking place across the day, split evenly across Groups I, J and L.
Estonia vs Norway (Monday, 7.45pm)
Norway will be looking to make it a perfect four wins from four in Group I when they head to the Lillekula Stadium in Tallinn to face an Estonia side who have collected three points from a possible nine.
Stale Solbakken's visitors recorded a resounding 3-0 victory over Italy on Friday, extending their winning run to five matches and also giving them a strong start in their bid to make the World Cup for the first time since 1998.
A win over an Estonia outfit that have lost six of their last nine fixtures is expected for Landslaget, but the better value is to back Antonio Nusa to follow up his strike against Italy with another in Tallinn.
The 20-year-old has scored four goals and registered two assists in his last three appearances for his country and he should have ample opportunities to find the back of the net on Monday.
Italy vs Moldova (Monday, 7.45pm)
&w=707&quality=100)
Italy will be determined to bounce back quickly from the loss to Norway and they should have no problems in achieving that when taking on Group I basement boys Moldova at the Mapei Stadium.
Gli Azzurri should be targeting a few goals in a convincing victory and Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali looks like a solid option to notch his third international strike.
The 25-year-old should be afforded more opportunities to get forward against an inferior Moldova outfit and he has shown an eye for goal, with his two efforts for Italy coming in his last five international appearances.
Croatia vs Czech Republic (Monday, 7.45pm)
Croatia started off their 2026 World Cup qualifying Group L in perfect fashion on Friday, sticking seven past Gibraltar in a 7-0 demolition job and they will be eager to keep the momentum going against the Czech Republic.
The Czechs will offer a much sterner challenge, as they arrive on a four-game winning streak, but just one victory from their last three away assignments highlights their travel issues.
Add in the fact Croatia are unbeaten in their last six home fixtures, winning five and drawing one and this looks like a perfect chance for the hosts to clinch a crucial three points.
