Estonia to Win
Estonia host Cyprus in the relegation playoffs of the UEFA Nations League on Thursday and we’re tipping the Blueshirts to establish a first-leg lead on home turf. With nine defeats on the spin on the road, Cyprus have been dreadful travellers for an extended period and their habit of coming unstuck as the visiting team could open the door for Estonia this week. Each of the Estonians’ last two victories were secured in Tallinn and a third win could be in the offing here.
Under 2.5 Goals
With just one goal in their last eight away fixtures combined, Cyprus have struggled to land punches on their travels for a lengthy period and we don’t expect their output to improve on Thursday. Estonia are modest goalscorers themselves however, hitting the net just nine times in their last ten assignments, so back under 2.5 goals to hit the net at the A. Le Coq Arena.
Estonia to Score First
Cyprus’ record on the road over the past 24 months has been wretched and they can generally be backed with confidence to concede the first goal whenever they leave their island. Indeed, the Cypriots have shipped the fixture’s opening effort in 100% of their last eight away matches and we recommend backing them to slip behind again when they visit Estonia.
