Back this 6/1 UEFA Nations League acca on Sunday

Our penultimate Nations League accumulator piece has arrived - don't worry, we're less than a week away from the return of club football!

Let's give you a brief overview of today's selection before diving in for a more in-depth look. 

First, we focus on another meeting between Denmark and Serbia - three months after the pair played out a 0-0 stalemate in the Euro 2024 group stage. 

Neither of Bulgaria or Northern Ireland were able to secure a spot in Germany but face-off in their second matches of the competition, while European champions Spain travel to an impressive Switzerland side.

Selection #1 - Denmark to beat Serbia (3/4)

There will be an air of familiarity when these two lineup against each on Sunday evening after their meeting at Euro 2024 just three months ago. Back then, Denmark and Serbia played out a 0-0 stalemate in their final group game which would be enough to see the Danes prevail in second-place.

Dragan Stojkovic's men weren't so lucky, though. The result left them with just two points to their name, leaving them rock bottom of group C behind an unfancied Slovenia side. 

Neither of these set the world alight in Germany, having both failed to record a victory across their seven combined matches. Regaining momentum with a positive showing in the Nations League will therefore be the target ahead of World Cup qualifying next year. 

In all fairness, both have gotten off to a pretty solid start. Serbia held reigning European and Nations League champions Spain to a 0-0 draw in Belgrade on Thursday, despite entering the contest heavy underdogs. Denmark also impressed with a 2-0 home win over a Switzerland side that reached the quarter-finals at the Euros. 

The Danes left it late against their Swiss counterparts, scoring both of their goals after the 82nd minute. Kasper Hjulmand's side were significantly aided by the dismall of Switzerland players Nico Elvedi and Granit Zhaka, but will nevertheless be grateful to continue a near perfect home record in recent years. 

They've lost just one of their last 18 encounters on home turf - a run which stretches back to September 2021. Compared to Serbia's recent run on the road - they've lost four of their last eight away fixtures - it's easy to see why the Danes enter odds-on favourites at 3/4. 

Serbia were also a tad fortunate to escape with a point against Spain on Thursday. The Spanish recorded 21 shots on goal compared to Serbia's nine. Combined with Denmark's tendency to win in front of their home fans, I'll be backing Hjulmand's side to make it six points from six here.

Selection #2 - Bulgaria to beat Northern Ireland (6/4)

My second selection features two sides who didn't appear at the European Championships in the summer. 82nd-ranked Bulgaria welcome 74th-ranked Northern Ireland to the Hristo Botev Stadium on Sunday evening following their opening Nations League fixtures on Thursday. 

A 0-0 draw away at Belarus made it seven matches unbeaten for the Bulgarians - though six of those games ended in draws - while Northern Ireland registered only their second victory in seven when they secured a 2-0 home win over Luxembourg. 

The three points means O'Neill's men have now won three of their last four. An improvement in form was drastically needed after a dismal Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, mind. After 10 matches, Northern Ireland had just nine points to their name - six of which came against the world's lowest-ranked side in San Marino.

Picking up wins on the road has proven particularly troublesome. They've secured only two in their last 11 away fixtures and face a Bulgaria side who have kept clean sheets in three of their last five outings. 

Bulgaria also won their most recent outing, securing a 2-1 home victory in a World Cup qualifier back in October 2021. 

Having said all of that, you can probably see which direction I'm heading in for this one. Getting the hosts at an odds-against 6/4 looks a decent price when you consider the stuttering form of their Northern Irish counterparts. 

Sure, the away side have won three in four but two of those victories came on home turf. They've been unconvincing to say the least on the road and face a Bulgaria team who haven't made habit of tasting defeat in recent times. 

Selection #3 - Spain to beat Switzerland (13/16)

The final leg focuses on two sides who will have entered the Nations League in a bouyant mood following positive performances in Germany this summer. It's fair to say neither will have been satisfied with their opening results in the competition on Thursday, though. 

Spain, who won their fourth European Championships in Berlin, were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by Serbia in Belgrade. The visitors dominated much of the affair, retaining 74% of possession and recording 21 shots on target, but were unable to breakdown the home side. 

Switzerland also suffered a late capitulation against Denmark, where they would eventually go on to lose 2-0. The loss was just their second defeat in normal time in 14 matches. 

Losing their opening two games in this competition would hardly be ideal, particularly given the promise shown in the Euros this summer, but Murat Yakin's side face a tall order against a Spain side who were on a nine-match winning streak heading into the Serbia game. 

The Spanish squad is littered with quality and is spearheaded by two of Europe's most promising up-and-coming talents in Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams. Switzerland will also have to cope without an essential midfield cog in Xhaka, who is now suspended. 

Sure, Serbia were able to hold firm and deny Spain a route to goal, but I can't see Switzerland doing the same in this one.
