Iceland to beat Kosovo –

We start with a Friday night in Kosovo, which should be interesting.

Not for the home side, though, whose induction into UEFA-recognised football has not been easy.

They are yet to win a qualifier and have lost their last three, conceding 11 and failing to score a single goal.

Iceland should extend the hosts’ wait for a maiden victory.

Since drawing against Ukraine in their opening group game, they have won four of their last six – including two out of three on the road – and have only once failed to score.

Expect more of the same here.

Sweden to beat Belarus –

Next up, expect Sweden to continue their promising start to the qualifiers.

They have won two and drawn one of their four games so far and currently occupy third place in Group A.

Given that they have lost just once in 11 at home, they should be trusted to notch another win – especially considering Belarus’ miserable run.

The visitors are without a victory in five competitive matches and have scored just two along the way.

That fallow run will continue this weekend.

Belgium to beat Greece –

As usual, Belgium have been prolific in qualification and that makes this one a banker.

Their 8-1 win over Estonia in November was their eighth in a row and took their tally of goals to 18 in three.

That firepower should be too much for Greece.

While the visitors have won four out of six, they are winless in their last two and have only kept two clean sheets in 10.

A Belgium win is the most sensible bet.

Poland to beat Montenegro –

This value is too good to ignore.

Despite an underwhelming Euro 2016, Poland remain unbeaten in their last 19 games (over 90 minutes, at least).

They have also started their World Cup qualifying campaign on fire, taking an early lead in Group E after three wins out of four.

Montenegro, meanwhile, are struggling.

The home side have managed just two wins in 10 and were beaten by second-bottom Armenia in their last game.

Northern Ireland to beat Norway –

Under Michael O’Neill, Northern Ireland have been formidable at home.

They have won three competitive matches on the bounce at Windsor Park and are unbeaten in seven.

The Green and White Army have also lost just one qualifier in their last 10 both home and away – a run that dates back to November 2014.

Norway, however, are not as impressive.

Per-Mathias Hogmo’s side have lost five out of six, with their only win in that sequence coming against the world’s 203rd-best side, San Marino.

Their misery should continue in Belfast.
