Friday's Player Cards Double 🟨 @ 9.30

Gabriel Jesus

North Macedonia are averaging 3.25 cards per game in the Nations League

Panagiotis Retsos has been picking up more cards this season, with four yellows in eight Greek league games and an average of 1.75 fouls committed per match.

That’s already as many yellow cards as he picked up in 26 league games last season.

He was booked for Greece against Germany recently, after fouling Karim Adeyemi.

Crysencio Summerville could cause similar problems for the Greek defence, with the winger playing in a similar area to Adeyemi.

He was fouled four times against Serbia, including once by Strahinja Pavlović, who was booked. Summerville is also averaging 2.09 fouls won per game for Al-Hilal this season.

When the two sides met in October, the Netherlands had 71% possession and managed 19 shots, keeping Retsos and the rest of the Greek defence pretty busy.

Jani Atanasov has picked up four yellow cards in 14 games for Aktobe this season, averaging a booking every 279 minutes.

The midfielder has also been booked in both of his Nations League appearances, including the game against Scotland in October, when he was shown a yellow just six minutes after coming on.

In that 2-0 defeat, North Macedonia committed 20 fouls and picked up five yellow cards.

They’re averaging 3.25 cards per game across their four Nations League matches.

John McGinn could be a handful for Atanasov in midfield. The Scot is averaging 5.2 fouls won per game in the competition and was fouled six times against North Macedonia.

Three players have been booked for fouling McGinn in his last two games: North Macedonia’s Anes Meliqi and Slovenia’s David Zec and Mark Zabukovnik.

Friday's BTTS Treble ⚽ @ 5.38

Andy Robson

Cliftonville have conceded in 14 of their 15 league games

The Netherlands have scored and conceded in all four of their Nations League games and have one of the best attacking records in League A, with seven goals and an average of 2.8 xG per game.

They’ve been creating plenty of chances, averaging 22 shots per game, with 7.5 on target, but have struggled at the back.

Even Serbia managed to score against them in both meetings, creating 1.1 and 1.4 xG.

Greece, meanwhile, are still unbeaten and have scored in both away games, including a 1-0 win over Germany.

The two sides drew 2-2 in October, with the Dutch managing 19 shots but conceding twice and having to come back from two goals down.

The Netherlands will be without Van Dijk this time, while Greece have Pavlidis back. He’s currently the top scorer in the Portuguese league, with 11 goals in 11 games.

Moldova and Kazakhstan have two of the worst defensive records in Nations League C, having conceded eight and seven goals respectively.

Kazakhstan have scored and conceded in all four games, including their meeting with Moldova in October, which ended in a 2-1 win for the Moldovans.

There were 35 shots in that game, with 12 on target, and Kazakhstan won 11 corners.

Moldova have been creating chances at home, averaging 19.5 shots and 1.38 xG across their two home games.

Even in their 4-0 defeat to Slovakia last time out, they still managed 17 shots, with five on target.

Kazakhstan are allowing an average of 6.25 shots on target per game and will be without defender Sergey Maliy, who was sent off in their 2-2 draw with the Faroe Islands.

Cliftonville head into this one on the back of three straight Premiership wins, scoring an impressive 14 goals against Dungannon, Carrick Rangers and Larne.

They have the second-best attack in the league, with 27 goals in 15 games, and Brian Healy has been in great form, scoring four times in the last three rounds.

Despite that excellent attacking form, Cliftonville have conceded in 14 of their 15 league games and are averaging around 1.6 xGA away from home.

Limavady haven’t been much better at the back, conceding ten goals in their last five games and averaging 1.73 goals against per match, one of the worst defensive records in their league.

Going forward, though, they’ve scored in four straight games, including against Larne and Carrick Rangers, and both teams have found the net in four of their last five league matches.
