Domestic action takes a backseat as we’ve got 2026 World Cup qualifiers, FIRST have full betting tips for England vs Albania on Friday but stick with us here as we’ve picked out four fancies from Saturday’s action. 

Leg 1 – Under 2.5 goals and both teams to score - no in Liechtenstein vs North Macedonia @ 33/50 [Saturday 2pm]

North Macedonia travel to Liechtenstein with the away side the heavy favourites.

Liechtenstein are ranked 204th in the world and they lost their last outing 3-1 against San Marino, who are ranked six places behind them.

North Macedonia will win but we like under 3.5 goals and both teams to score - no.

Liechtenstein won’t cause North Macedonia many problems given they've won just one of their last 45 games - a friendly against Hong Kong last year.

There have been under 3.5 goals in North Macedonia's last 11 games so don't expect much action!

Leg 2 – Norway -1 on the handicap vs Moldova @ 33/50 [Saturday 5pm]

Norway will be desperate to top Group I and they'll fancy their chances of getting the better of Moldova, Estonia and Israel.

Moldova, who are ranked 151st and are yet to play in a major tournament, were held to a draw against Gibraltar last year after beating San Marino by one goal.

It could be a long night for Moldova given they'll have to keep Erling Haaland, Alexander Sorloth and Martin Odegaard quiet.

Norway have won three of their last four games, all in the Nations League, by a margin of three goals or more so we like the -1 handicap (to win by two or more goals).

Leg 3 – Wales -1 on the handicap vs Kazakhstan @ 53/100 [Saturday 7:45pm]

Wales kick off their qualifying campaign with Craig Bellamy's side hosting Kazakhstan.

The Welsh are unbeaten in their last six games and they'll be confident of getting three points on the board against the 110th-ranked Kazakhstan.

In Kazakhstan's six Nations League games in 2024, they lost five and drew one, while also conceding 15 times.

Wales, who are in Group J with Belgium, North Macedonia, Liechtenstein and Kazakhstan, are in good form under Bellamy and he's brought the feel-good factor back.

Instead of backing them to win at a short price, getting on the -1 handicap makes sense.

Leg 4 – Under 2.5 goals and both teams to score - no in Czech Republic vs Faroe Islands @ 19/20 [Saturday 7:45pm]

Czech Republic host the 137th-ranked Faroe Islands with Ivan Hasek's side eyeing their first World Cup appearance since 2006.

It's not worth looking at a Czech Republic win given the short odds so we like under 3.5 goals and both teams to score - no.

The Czech’s should have too much quality and it'd be surprising to see Faroe Islands score given they failed to net in two of their meetings against the 140th-ranked Latvia last year so we’re keen on BTTS - no.

Faroe Islands don't win many games but they rarely get beaten by a big margin. Their last seven scorelines read: 1-0, 1-1, 1-0, 2-2, 1-1, 0-1 and 1-0.

There have been under 3.5 goals in Czech Republic's last four matches, while the selection has been a winner in six of Faroe Islands's last seven outings.
