With many of Europe’s elite getting their respective World Cup qualifying campaigns underway over the weekend, the action will roll onto Monday night.
As former European champions Italy look to make it three consecutive qualifying victories, the likes of Scotland and Croatia will also steal centre stage.
With seven World Cup qualifying showdowns on the cards, we have taken a look at some of the most appealing betting tips that are available.
19:45 Switzerland vs Slovenia
Losing their elite Nations League status last year with a real whimper after registering just a pair of League A points, Switzerland had a huge amount of pressure on their shoulders when opening 2025. However, while there might have been a huge amount of scrutiny on Murat Yakin, it appears that Monday’s hosts have turned somewhat of a recent corner. Getting their World Cup qualifying adventure underway with a routine performance over the weekend as they cruised their way to a 4-0 romp at home against Kosovo, the Swiss have now won all of their previous four appearances across all competitions and they are enjoying their longest winning run since the summer of 2021. Signing off June’s international fixtures with another stellar 4-0 victory against the USA, Yakin’s side have continued on a rise up the FIFA rankings. Finding what has been a real clinical edge in the final third, Switzerland will be looking to lay down another Group B marker here.
Although Slovenia might have got their respective World Cup qualifying campaign underway facing a tough challenge on home soil, Matjaz Kek’s side should take plenty of positives away from an eye-catching performance. Snatching a late 2-2 draw at home against Sweden, Monday’s guests have their sights firmly set on mounting a real Group B charge. However, despite clinging to their Nations League second-tier status back in March, it is fair to say that the Whites have struggled to find any real stability over recent times. Winning just one of their previous seven competitive appearances across all competitions within 90 minutes, Slovenia have largely come crashing back down to earth since their sensational run of form two years ago. It should also be highlighted, along with falling to an action-packed 3-2 defeat when they last traveled to Switzerland back in 2015, they have also lost all of their previous three straight trips to Monday’s hosts by an aggregate score of 6-3.

19:45 Croatia vs Montenegro
Remarkably failing to book a EURO 24 knockout stage ticket last summer and enduring what was a public crisis over in Germany, Croatia got 2025 underway firmly under the microscope. However, despite still being reliant on their ageing superstars, the former World Cup silver medalists have enjoyed a real resurge so far this calendar year. Getting their qualifying campaign underway with a dominant 7-0 romp away at Gibralter on June 6th, Zlatko Dalic’s squad have come flying out of the traps. Last seen over the weekend putting in a gritty performance on foreign soil as they landed a 1-0 win against the Faroe Islands, Croatia have won all of their opening three qualifying showdowns by an aggregate score of 13-1. Knowing that they can leapfrog the Czech Republic on Monday night, Croatia are pencilled in as a landslide contender when they return to Zagreb here.
Although Montenegro might have got their respective World Cup qualifying campaign underway with consecutive victories against Gibraltar and the Faroe Islands, the Falcons have come crashing back down to earth. Now suffering back-to-back 2-0 losses against the Czech Republic over the past few months, Robert Prosinecki’s side look set for what will be another heavyweight challenge when they travel to Zagreb on Monday night. Losing their Nations League second-tier status last year as they lost five of their six League B showdowns, Montenegro have also gained an unwanted reputation for their glaring issues on foreign soil. In fact, Montenegro have lost all of their previous seven straight showdowns outside of Podgorica – a rut that stems all the way back to a 2-2 stalemate against Lithuania in September 2023. Likewise, the Falcons have collected just a sole competitive win on foreign soil over the past four years.
