The Nations League fixtures keep coming thick-and-fast, with another action-packed night ahead of us on Monday.

Odds Now's Brad Walker has picked out three bets to back in his 5/1 bet-builder.

Brad Walker's Nations League bet-builder selections

Selection #1 - Bulgaria to beat Belarus

Ilian Iliev's Bulgaria side come into this fixture having lost just one of their last 11 matches in total.

The hosts are also unbeaten in their last three at home, while recording two clean sheets during that time frame. 

Their form has left them second in their Nations League group ahead of their clash with a Belarus side who have also looked solid, taking six points from their first five outings in the competition. 

Still, it was the Bulgarians who looked dominant when these sides met back in September. 

While the final scoreline may have read 0-0, Iliev's men registered 17 shots on goal to Belarus' eight. 

Nine of Bulgaria's efforts were also on target and they were left feeling hard done by for failing to take all three points, despite being reduced to 10 men with 73 minutes on the clock.

Coupled with their impressive form on home soil, expect the hosts to go one better and come out on top this time around.

Selection #2 - Northern Ireland to beat Luxembourg

Northern Ireland find themselves sitting pretty at the top of Group C3, boasting 10 points to their name ahead of the meeting in Luxembourg City.

Michael O'Neill's men have won three of their five matches so far, including a 2-0 victory over Monday's opponents in Belfast two months ago.

They have also recorded four clean sheets already in the competition, three of which have came in their last three Nations League outings.

If that isn't enough to convince you to back the away victory, then let's take a look at the hosts' recent form. 

Luxembourg are without a win in their last seven in all competitions and have picked up just two points so far. 

In fact, they are yet to register a single point on home turf heading into this one. 

All in all, I'd say another Northern Ireland win looks a pretty safe bet here.

    Selection #3 - Liechtenstein to beat San Marino

    San Marino grabbed the headlines after picking up just their second ever win at home to Liechtenstein back in September. 

    Nicko Sensoli's 53rd-minute strike was enough to see them bag all three points, 17 years on from their only other victory, which also happened to come against Monday's opponents.

    A win on the road looks a huge ask though, particularly considering Liechtenstein's positive result to that loss. 

    Konrad Funfstuck's side have since recorded two draws against Gibraltar home and away, as well as a 2-0 friendly win against Hong Kong, China. 

    And while they may have suffered a 2-0 loss to Malta last time out, Liechtenstein remain well-poised to bounce back with another victory against a side yet to win a single match on the road in their history.
