This week’s top tips and score predictions, brought to you by CXSports — the leader in odds and score predictions.

⚽ Gibraltar vs Croatia
🏟 World Cup UEFA Qualification (Round 3)
Friday 06 June; 20:45 (Europe/Paris)

• Why we’re watching: Croatia’s more or less guaranteed to come out on top here. But, if you like a long shot, what not put a small bet on Gibraltar (look for better odds — e.g., 1xBet currently offering 100.00)

• CXSports says: Let’s be honest here — Gibraltar has a “challenging” track record to put things nicely. In their opening qualifiers, they suffered a 3-1 defeat to Montenegro and a 4-0 loss against Czechia (and who can forget their 14-0 loss to France in November 2023!). Croatia, on the other hand, has proven it belongs in the big leagues — it did, after all, finish runner-up finish in the 2018 World Cup (and who can forget their 2-0 victory over France in March 2025?). Long story short — these teams barely even belong in the same universe. Clear and massive edge for Croatia.

• Score prediction: 0-5 for Croatia

Option #1

• Bet: Croatia Victory

• Odds Range: 1.01-1.03

Option #2

• Bet: Gibraltar Victory

• Odds Range: 20.00-100.00

⚽ North Macedonia vs Belgium
🏟 World Cup UEFA Qualification (Round 3)
Friday 06 June; 20:45 (Europe/Paris)

• Why we’re watching: Belgium’s almost guaranteed victory here, making the odds available rather tempting. Failing that, there’s a super safe double chance.

• CXSports says: Belgium has historically dominated this fixture — they’ve won three out of four head-to-heads, and drew once. That’s not to say North Macedonia’s without hope — they have had a promising start to this qualifying campaign (3-0 victory over Liechtenstein and a 1-1 draw against Wales). But history (and Belgium’s superior squad) are hard to ignore, so the edge still goes to Belgium, with the slight possibility of a draw due to North Macedonia’s (relatively) decent form and the absence of Belgium’s star goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who’s out with a back injury

• Score prediction: 1-2 for Belgium

Option #1

• Bet: Belgium Victory

• Odds Range: 1.22-1.40

Option #2

• Bet: Double Chance (Draw / Belgium)

• Odds Range: 1.03-1.10

⚽ Wales vs Liechtenstein
🏟 World Cup UEFA Qualification (Round 3)
Friday 06 June; 20:45 (Europe/Paris)

• Why we’re watching: If you like the idea of 151.00 odds and can stomach the risk of betting on an unimaginably long long-shot, this game’s for you!

• CXSports says: The only thing Lichtenstein’s done this qualifying campaign is concede goals — they went down 0-3 to North Macedonia, and 0-2 to Kazakhstan. Wales, on the other hand, has managed a much healthier record, and also comes into this safe in the knowledge that they’ve dominated this fixture in the past. In short, Wales has a galaxy-sized edge here.

• Score prediction: 4-0 for Wales

Option #1

• Bet: Wales Victory

• Odds Range: 1.01-1.05

Option #2

• Bet: Liechtenstein Victory

• Odds Range: 20.00-151.00

⚽ Bosnia-Herzegovina vs San Marino
🏟 World Cup UEFA Qualification (Round 3)
Saturday 07 June; 15:00 (Europe/Paris)

• Why we’re watching: This is yet another game where a decent squad takes on a hopeless squad, more or less guaranteeing us a victory.

• CXSports says: Bosnia and Herzegovina kicked their World Cup qualifying campaign with two victories — a 1-0 against Romania, and a 2-1 over Cyprus. San Marino, on the other hand, lost 0-2 against Cyprus and 1-5 against Romania. Now, we’re not one to rule out the chance of a miracle, but given those results, who do you think will come out on top here?

• Score prediction: 4-0 for Bosnia-Herzegovina

Option #1

• Bet: Bosnia-Herzegovina Victory

• Odds Range: 1.01-1.02

Option #2

• Bet: Both Teams to Score (No)

• Odds Range: 1.07-1.12

⚽ Andorra vs England
🏟 World Cup UEFA Qualification (Round 3)
Saturday 07 June; 18:00 (Europe/Paris)

• Why we’re watching: Who doen’t like watching the local soccer team take on one of the greatest soccering nations ever?

• CXSports says: Andorra might like to consider itself as something of a “Principality”, but, in practice, it’s little more than an oversized border town skirting France and Spain. England, on the other hand, is somewhat more of an empire (and one that’s very good at soccer, too). So let us ask you this — what hope does the local soccer team have against the national squad of one of the world’s soccer superpowers?

• Score prediction: 0-4 for England

Option #1

• Bet: England Victory

• Odds Range: 1.01-1.04

Option #2

• Bet: Both Teams to Score (No)

• Odds Range: 1.09-1.25

⚽ Finland vs Netherlands
🏟 World Cup UEFA Qualification (Round 3)
Saturday 07 June; 20:45 (Europe/Paris)

• Why we’re watching: There’s a super safe double chance play here, otherwise, the odds on a probable Netherlands victory are pretty good value given their chances.

• CXSports says: Finland got off to a decent start in their qualifying campaign — a 1-0 away victory over Malta and a 2-2 draw against Lithuania certainly set a “we’re doing okay” tone. But let’s not forget that the Netherlands is still the far superior team here — the last time these two met, Finland went down 2-0 against the Netherlands. Now, we don’t expect things to go quite so badly this time around — Finland has been performing reasonably well after all — but the Netherlands should still come out on top.

• Score prediction: 1-2 for Netherlands

Option #1

• Bet: Netherlands Victory

• Odds Range: 1.20-1.34

Option #2

• Bet: Double Chance (Draw / Netherlands)

• Odds Range: 1.03-1.08
