Meanwhile, Euro 2012 finalists Italy meet Finland, while Euro 2012 winners Spain host Norway
The Euro 2020 qualifying fixtures are set to continue this coming Saturday (23 March) with some of the former big hitters on the continental stage in action. First off, Sweden and Romania lock horns in what should be a closely fought contest, before former would champions Italy take on Finland while Euro 2012 champions welcome Norway, looking to make a strong start to the group.

Where should I be investing my money?
First up, let’s start with the clash between Sweden and Romania on Saturday afternoon. The Swedes come into this match unbeaten in their last three outings and having won their last two – confidence should be high among their group as they embark on their mission to reach the Euro 2020 finals.
Romanian, by way if comparison, look to be in even better form. The side are unbeaten in their last 12 matches, their last defeat coming all the way back in September 2017 – Sweden will certainly have their work cut out if they are to make a winning start to the qualifiers.
Nevertheless, it is Sweden who come into this match as the clear favourites to take all three points. You can back the home side to win at just 1.72, while Romania are out at 5.00 to do the same – a draw is priced in the middle at 3.50, according to Oddsshark.
And we believe that this contest could well end up honours even. A 1-1 draw is priced at 7.00, meaning that a US$5 bet would lead to a US$35 pay out, while you can more than double your money by backing both teams to score at 2.25.
Italy out to make strong start against Finland
Later that same evening, Italy will be hoping to make a strong start to their qualifying group against Finland. The Italians are unbeaten in their last four outings and can approach this match in front of their own fans with confidence.
Finland, in stark contrast, are currently struggling for both form and morale. They have lost their last two matches and cannot be relishing a trip to one of football’s international giants when their recent performances have been so disappointing.
It is therefore of little surprise to see that Italy come into this fixture as the overwhelming favourites to take the points. You can back the Azzurri to win at just 1.28, while Finland are all the way out at 11.00 to record what would be a shock victory on the road – a draw is priced in the middle at 5.00.
This should be a comfortable evening’s work for the home side. A 3-0 win for Italy comes in at 7.50, meaning that a US$5 bet would lead to a US$37.50 pay out, while you can more than double your money by backing over 2.5 goals in the game at 2.10.
Spain host Norway looking for three points
And finally, Spain welcome Norway on Saturday night also expecting to take three points in their opening qualifier. However, Spain have actually lost their last two competitive fixtures, against England and Croatia in the UEFA Nations League, and desperately need to rediscover their panache here.
Norway, meanwhile, are unbeaten in their last four outings and can at least approach this daunting task with their heads held high. The pressure is all on the Spanish and, as such, Norway can afford to play with the handbrake off.
Yet Spain still come into this qualifying fixture as the red hot favourites to win. You can back the home side to take all three points at just 1.18, while Norway are out at 13.00 to do the same – a draw is priced in the middle at 7.00.
Again, we are expecting Spain to have a comfortable evening ahead of them. A 3-1 win for the home side is priced competitively at 11.00, thereby offering more than a ten-fold return on any investment, while you can more than double your money by backing both teams to score at 2.37.
