Check out this 10/1 Nations League acca on Sunday

Written by: Brad Walker

The Nations League quarter-final second leg ties take place on Sunday as sides clamour for a semi-final spot. 

Our man Brad Walker (@brad_TWalker) has put up a tasty 10/1 accumulator to mark the occasion.

Brad Walker's Nations League accumulator selections for Sunday, March 23, 2025

Selection #1 - Germany to beat Italy 

The hosts come into this one having secured a 2-1 come-from-behind win in Milan on Thursday evening.

Germany are now unbeaten across seven matches in the Nations League, six of which ended in victory. 

In fact, their 2-1 defeat to Spain in the quarter-finals of last summer's Euros is their only loss in 16. 

Compare with visiting Italy, who not only trail on aggregate heading into the second leg, but have also now suffered consecutive defeats in their last two Nations League outings. 

Inability to shut opposition out hasn't helped their cause. The Azzurri have registered just a single clean sheet in their last 11 outings in all competitions. 

Given Germany's strength in forward areas - they've scored in every match since a 0-0 draw with Ukraine in June of last year - it's hard to envisage the home side not sealing a spot in the semi-finals with another win here.  

Selection #2 - Spain to beat Netherlands 

Mikel Merino's late equaliser salvaged a 2-2 draw for Spain in Rotterdam, meaning the current European champions are now unbeaten in their last 17 outings. 

Spain haven't lost since a 1-0 defeat to Colombia in March last year and also head to Valencia's Mestalla Stadium unbeaten in 12 home matches.

Add in the Netherlands' unconvincing form of late and it's certainly worth backing 'La Roja' to proceed to the semi-finals. The Dutch now have just one win in their last six games. 

Their away form hasn't exactly been inspiring either. Ronald Koeman's men haven't won on the road since a 6-0 win at Gibraltar, which took place way back in November 2023. 

Selection #3 - BTTS in Scotland vs Greece - Yes

Scott McTominay's first half penalty was enough to secure a 1-0 lead for Scotland against Greece, but their recent performances at home suggest there's still plenty of work to do. 

Scotland's win over Croatia in November remains their only home victory in their last seven on their own patch, while visitors Greece have made scoring a habit on the road. 

Ivan Jovanovic's men have now found the net in all of their last five away fixtures, while their last four have seen them score exactly two goals in each. 

And while Scotland may have registered consecutive clean sheets in their last two home outings, they conceded in the five which preceded that run and also conceded 2.84 xG in their eventual victory on Thursday. 

All of the above suggests spells of success await both sides for Sunday's second leg. 

Selection #4 - BTTS in France vs Croatia - Yes

The visitors may have came out on top with a 2-0 win in Thursday's second leg, but it was Didier Deschamps' France side who actually finished with a higher xG tally (1.56 to 1.43) when the 90 minutes were up. 

In fact, Croatia goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic was forced into making a whopping six saves across the match in Split, denying France at least one goal which on any other day they would have surely earned. 

That, along with patterns from both sides' recent outings, suggest goals could be in store on Sunday. 

Five of France's last seven matches have seen both teams find the back of the net, while the same can be said of six of Croatia's last nine.
