Thursday’s International Football Betting Tips – 12/11/2026

For most football fans, it’s another frustrating time as we head into another international break, but we’ll still take the opportunity to find some interesting bets to keep us entertained. Since there isn’t as much football as most of us would like, we’ve put together Thursday’s International Football Betting Tips – 12/11/2026 for you.

Eight UEFA Nations League matches are on Thursday, so we have picked 6 bets from those matches that we think have the best chance of winning, and hopefully we can build an interesting accumulator bet.

1 – England v Croatia

The first game we are looking at is England v Croatia at Wembley. It seems like a long time ago now, back in 2018, when Croatia beat England in the World Cup semi-finals and broke their hearts. Since then, England have regrouped and produced pretty consistent, if not always attractive, performances, while Croatia have struggled to maintain their previous highs.

Since that World Cup match, the head-to-heads have been pretty much all England, with England winning 4 of the matches, and the other finishing in a 0-0 draw. What’s more interesting is that the two teams met last month, at the beginning of October, with England absolutely battering Croatia in their own backyard, 7-0.

With that result in mind, and the fact that England narrowly lost to Spain 3-2 back in September, we think an England victory is the correct bet, but the odds aren’t the most appealing. With England on a sweet spell of scoring, we think throwing in England to score over 1.5 goals, as well as an England win, makes this bet a lot more appealing

2 – Italy v France

Another stand-out fixture this Thursday sees Italy host France at the iconic San Siro stadium in Milan. It seems amazing to think how a country with Italy’s pedigree and history has struggled to qualify for the last 3 World Cup Finals, having not played on the main World Cup stage since 2014, but they are on a decent run of form now.

In Italy’s first 4 Nations League matches, they have scored an impressive 8 goals in total, although they haven’t been particularly watertight at the back, conceding 5 goals and keeping only 1 clean sheet.

Although France come into this with impressive form, having won 3 matches and drawn 1, they conceded a goal in both their last 2 matches, against Belgium and Italy in the reverse fixture.

That is why we are looking at this match and thinking Both Teams To Score is the bet. The bookies seem to agree with us, as currently the best odds for both teams to score are 4/7 with a host of bookmakers, which we think are decent to throw into this accumulator bet.

3 – Czechia v Spain

Since winning the World Cup in July, Spain have continued their winning streak impressively. Since beating Argentina in the final, Spain have gone on to beat England, Croatia twice, and Czechia, 3-1 in October.

Czechia, on the other hand, have been in poor form recently. In their last 7 matches, they have lost 6 and managed only a 1-1 draw with South Africa at the World Cup.

This contrast of form and performances makes this a simple bet to put in; although not having the best odds, we think it fair to say that a Spain win is the sensible bet to make here, even at 2/9 with Coral

4 – Turkey v Belgium

This match between Turkey and Belgium stands out because, so far in the Nations League, both teams have struggled to keep things tight at the back.

So far, Turkey have conceded 9 goals in their first 4 matches, including a 3-0 loss to Belgium in the reverse fixture. Belgium have also not been the tidiest at the back and have let in 6 goals in 4 games themselves.

Although the defensive record of both teams looks shaky, to say the least, we aren’t convinced on a Both Teams To Score bet due to the fact that Turkey have only managed to score twice in those 4 matches. So, we are discounting that bet for this match and selecting Belgium to score over 1.5 goals instead. And with odds of 4/6 currently, we think this looks like a nice juicy pick.

5 – Montenegro v Latvia

Montenegro vs Latvia might not be one of the most glamorous fixtures, but it could still be interesting for this bet.

So far Montenegro have fairly dominated this group, having won 3 games and drawn 1. 1 of those wins came away from home, beating Latvia 2-1, whilst Latvia have struggled so far in this group.

Latvia have lost 3 games and drawn 1, and have only managed to score 2 goals in those 4 matches as well, so we are looking at a Montenegro win in this match.

Again, the odds are quite shy here, but Betway are currently offering odds of 30/100 for a Montenegro win, which we think is good value to add to our accumulator bet

6 – Albania v Finland

Our final match is another one that might not immediately stand out as a match to bet on, but we’ve had a good look and think we can find a decent bet from this match.

Both teams have been in fairly decent form, if not quite setting the world alight, but 1 thing that stands out is that most matches haven’t been high-scoring affairs for either team.

In Albania’s last 4 matches, no more than 3 goals have been scored, and although Finland beat San Marino 7-0 at the start of this campaign, their last 3 matches have only had a total of 4 goals in them.

So, with both teams struggling to put the ball in the net, we think a great bet here is Under 3.5 goals. With BOYLE Sports offering the best odds of 2/9 currently, we think this is worth betting on.

Tip – Under 3.5 goals in the game – 2/9 with BOYLE Sports
