Back this 14/1 Nations League accumulator on Thursday

Written by: Brad Walker

The first international break of the year is upon us, as is the resumption of the latest iteration of the UEFA Nations League. 

With a host of Europe's sides in action across the competition on Thursday, our man Brad Walker (@brad_TWalker) has put up a tidy 14/1 four-fold. 

Nations League accumulator selections for Thursday, March 20, 2025

Selection #1 - France to beat Croatia

 A 3-1 win over Italy back in November means France have now won four of their five matches since Euro 2024, with the other ending in a draw.

The French also won all three of their away fixtures during the group stage ahead of their visit to a Croatia side which underwhelmed at last summer's Championships. 

Zlatko Dalic's men failed to win a single game in Germany and weren't much better across their group stage campaign, where they won just two of their six matches.

Croatia have been a staple of major tournaments in recent years but their ageing squad, coupled by the youthful exuberance of the French, makes it hard to envisage anything other than an away win here.

Selection #2 - Austria to beat Serbia

The momentum undoubtedly lies with the Austrians ahead of kick-off in Vienna. 

Ralf Rangnick's side took only a point from their first two group games but then went unbeaten across their final four, a run they'll be confident of continuing against this mediocre Serbia side.

The visitors won only one of their six group matches, which came against a Switzerland side who eventually finished bottom of Group A4.

Austria caught the eye during the Euros and the form book suggests they're well-poised to pickup another win in this one.

Selection #3 - Greece to beat Scotland 

Greece are bitterly unlucky to find themselves in the play-offs after finishing behind eventual group-toppers England on goal difference.

Ivan Jovanovic's side boasted an identical record to the English, winning five and losing just one of their six group matches. 

They also won two of their three home games and welcome a Scotland side which failed to inspire on the road. 

Steve Clarke's men won just one of their three away games in the group stage and have failed to win six of their last eight on their travels overall, leaving them with a stern task ahead of kick-off in Piraeus.

Selection #4 - Turkey to beat Hungary

Hosts Turkey have lost just two of their last 14 home games heading into Thursday evening. 

And visiting Hungary have been far from convincing in away fixtures, having won only two of their last eight on the road. 

Add in the home side's impressive defensive record - they conceded only once across their three home group games - and there's plenty of value in backing another Turkey victory in this one.
