Monday, June 9, 2025, delivers a packed schedule of European World Cup qualifying action with five pivotal matches that could dramatically alter the qualification landscape. From Norway’s perfect start to Italy’s desperate fight for redemption, here’s your complete preview with the smartest betting angles.
Estonia vs Norway
Venue: Lilleküla Stadium, Tallinn
Norway arrives in Tallinn riding the crest of an incredible wave, having just demolished Italy 3-0 in Oslo to maintain their perfect qualifying record. With Erling Haaland in spectacular form and the team having scored 12 goals in their opening three matches, Norway looks unstoppable in Group I. Estonia, meanwhile, has struggled defensively and faces the daunting task of containing arguably Europe’s most in-form attacking unit.
Norway’s recent 5-0 victory over Moldova and their stunning win against Italy showcase a team operating at peak efficiency. Estonia’s home advantage will count for little against this Norwegian juggernaut that has already proven they can dismantle even the most organized defenses.
BEST BET FOR 1ST HALF: OVER 1.5 Goals (+105) ❌
BEST BET: Norway Win & Over 2.5 Goals (+110) ❌
BEST BET: OVER 3.5 (+110) ❌
Belgium vs Wales
Venue: King Baudouin Stadium, Brussels
This fixture carries significant historical weight, with Wales having been Belgium’s “bogey team” during the Red Devils’ golden era. Belgium’s recent form has been concerning, managing only a 1-1 draw against North Macedonia in their last outing, while Wales under Craig Bellamy has shown remarkable improvement and confidence. The head-to-head record between these sides is remarkably close, with Belgium winning seven of 17 meetings compared to Wales’ five victories.
Belgium’s home advantage at the King Baudouin Stadium typically provides a boost, but Wales’ tactical discipline and improved defensive structure under Bellamy makes this far from a foregone conclusion. Both teams desperately need points to keep pace in what’s shaping up to be a competitive Group J.
BEST BET FOR 1ST HALF: DRAW (+140) ❌
Prop Bet: Both Teams to Score – Yes (+120) ✅
Prop Bet: CORRECT SCORE Belgium 1-1 Wales (+750)❌
Faroe Islands vs Gibraltar
Venue: Tórsvøllur, Tórshavn
This represents a golden opportunity for both nations to claim their first points in Group L, with both teams having lost their opening matches. The Faroe Islands have shown competitive spirit despite defeats, losing their previous qualifying matches by just single goals, suggesting they’re closer to breakthrough results than their record indicates. Gibraltar, meanwhile, continues to struggle at international level and faces a difficult trip to the North Atlantic.
The betting markets heavily favor the Faroe Islands with odds of 1.22 for a home victory, reflecting the gulf in quality and home advantage. This should be a low-scoring affair between two defensively-minded teams, but the hosts possess enough quality to secure a comfortable victory.
BEST BET FOR 1ST HALF: Faroe Islands to Lead at Half Time (-140) ❌
BEST BET: Faroe Islands -1.5 Handicap (-120) ❌
Prop Bet: Total Goals OVER 2.5 (-105) ✅
Italy vs Moldova
Venue: MAPEI Stadium, Reggio Emilia
Italy’s World Cup qualifying campaign has been nothing short of disastrous, with their shocking 3-0 defeat to Norway leaving them bottom of Group I with zero points from their opening match. This represents Luciano Spalletti’s final game as Italy boss, adding emotional significance to what is essentially a must-win encounter. Moldova has conceded eight goals in just two qualifying matches and offers Italy the perfect opportunity to rebuild their confidence.
The Azzurri’s superior individual quality should eventually tell against a limited Moldovan side, but Italy’s recent defensive frailties and apparent tactical confusion make this less straightforward than it appears on paper. Expect Italy to come out aggressively seeking an early goal to settle nerves.
BEST BET FOR 1ST HALF: OVER 1.5 Goals (+100) ❌
BEST BET: Italy -2.5 Handicap (-115) ❌
Prop Bet: Italy to Win Both Halves (+130) ✅
Croatia vs Czech Republic
Venue: Opus Arena, Osijek
This clash between two European heavyweights could determine Group L’s ultimate winner. The Czech Republic currently sits atop the group with a perfect record of nine points from three matches, having won all their games while maintaining an impressive 8-1 goal difference. Croatia, despite their pedigree as recent World Cup finalists, has stumbled with just three points from three games and desperately needs a result to revive their qualification hopes.
The Czechs’ recent run of four consecutive victories demonstrates they’re no longer the inconsistent team of previous campaigns. Croatia’s home advantage at the Opus Arena will be crucial, but they face a Czech side brimming with confidence and tactical discipline.
BEST BET FOR 1ST HALF: Czech Republic to score in 1st Half (-110) ❌
BEST BET: Both Teams To Score YES (-125) ✅
BEST BET: Czech Republic +0.5 Handicap (-125)❌
BEST BET: Czech Republic to Win (+280)❌
Prop Bet: Czech Republic to Score First (+180) ❌
Prop Bet: CORRECT SCORE Croatia 1-2 Czech Republic (+1200)❌
Key Betting Insights for Monday’s Action
The standout value appears to be backing Norway’s continued dominance against Estonia, while the Belgium vs Wales encounter offers excellent value for a draw or Welsh upset. Italy should bounce back against Moldova with authority, but the real tactical battle lies in Osijek where Croatia must stop the Czech Republic’s perfect qualifying run.
Monday’s fixtures promise drama, goals, and potentially qualification-defining moments as Europe’s quest for 2026 World Cup spots intensifies.
