The penultimate night of action in the Euro 2020 qualifying event in this international break takes place on Monday with the same groups that started out on Friday, playing their second group games across Europe.
It means that England are in action in their second match of the group. Elsewhere Portugal look to take a step towards qualifying while France are also on the pitch on what has all the makings of a decent night of football.
Group A
There are two matches in Group A on Monday night but it is the place where England continue their quest for a place at the tournament in which the final will be in their country. They will look to follow up their 5-0 win over Czech Republic on Friday when they head to Montenegro. The other match in the group sees Kosovo beginning their campaign at home to Bulgaria who get extremely lucky in a 1-1 draw with Montenegro in their first match.
Group B
One of the big matches in the round takes place in this group on Monday when the defending champions Portugal play host to potentially the toughest danger in the group in Serbia. The other match sees Ukraine looking to come through what is actually an underrated test in the form of a trip to Luxembourg.
Group H
There are three matches in this group and it is where the early kick off takes place when Turkey welcome Moldova to town. The big match though is a repeat of the quarter final from Euro 2016 as the world champions France host a dogged Iceland side. The two minnows met elsewhere as Andorra take on Albania in a match the visitors have to win to have any chance of making a second successive European Championships.

Betting
I like two bets over the course of the night with England very much to my liking. They served me well on Friday night and I expect their attacking talent to put Montenegro to the sword as well. England have a phenomenal record in qualifying matches in recent times and signalled their intentions for this group at Wembley on Friday. Montenegro probably should have beaten Bulgaria on Friday night but Stefan Savic and Stevan Jovetic are comfortably their best players and they are both set to miss this match. England are without Eric Dier but they’ll cope with that. I expect another extremely comfortable night for Gareth Southgate and his men.
Serbia look overpriced to beat Portugal but rather than take the Hollywood 11/2 punt on them winning I’m happy to get on them with a goal start in the Asian worlds. Serbia warmed up for this match with a friendly draw with Germany on Wednesday and that form doesn’t look too bad right now after Germany’s win on Sunday evening. Portugal could only draw with Ukraine in their opening match in this group on Friday and are perennial strugglers when it comes to qualifying for tournaments. Serbia rate as a huge danger here and have it in them to avoid defeat or at the very worst ensure we get our money back with a narrow loss.
