Tuesday's World Cup Qualifier Tips: Back 6/1 Scotland Bet Builder & 11/10 Spain to complete unblemished record | OneFootball

World Cup 2026

Paul Higham has Betfair's best bets for Tuesday's World Cup qualifiers including a 6/1 Scotland Bet Builder

Paul Higham has picked out a 6/1 Bet Builder for Scotland v Denmark as one of his best bets for all 10 of Tuesday's World Cup qualifiers, along with 11/10 Spain to complete a flawless campaign and Sweden to finally win a game...

Scotland v Denmark

19:45 kick-offLive on BBC Scotland, BBCi & BBC Two

Scotland were given a reprieve by Belarus drawing with Denmark, so it's all set for a nervy night at Hampden where the hosts need a win at 5/2 to secure their first World Cup appearance since 1998. The Danes are 23/20 favourites and only need a draw, which is 21/10, but that'd be a dangerous game to play.

At least Scotland know it's all or nothing so have to go for the win, but Denmark have only lost once in 10 and have won six of their past seven away World Cup qualifiers. It'll be a special atmosphere and after watching Ireland in Hungary absolutely anything could happen here, but if pushed I'd say the Danes will emerge with a draw.

However, I'd rather pull the trigger on a Scotland Bet Builder and back who we know to do what we know they can do, so our old friend Scott McTominay has to be backed to hit the target, as he's done in four of five, while John McGinn is a master at winning fouls (14 in total, 4 and 3 in two home games) and Ben Gannon-Doak has had two shots on target in both of his last two outings.

Belarus v Greece

19:45 kick-off

These two did their bits with results against Scotland and Denmark - which gave Belarus their first point of the campaign. Now they'll hope Greece have switched off and try for their first win even as huge 9/1 'home' underdogs - with their games being played in Hungary due to UEFA sanctions.

With a dead atmosphere and nothing to play for this could be a write-off of a game, and who knows what changes to the line-ups will be made. Greece have lost both away games 3-1 while Belarus have conceded at least twice in their last six games, so you'd usually expect a ton of goals - but that motivation issue means proceed with caution.

I'd have a small nibble at the draw at a big price.

Wales v North Macedonia

19:45 kick-offLive on S4C, BBC Three, BBC One Wales, BBCi & S4C Online

It's a complicated one in Cardiff, but let's take top spot off the table as Belgium really only need a draw in Liechtenstein. North Macedonia only need a draw to secure second spot, while Wales already have a play-off spot thanks to the Nations League but a win and second spot here would give them a home draw and a much more favourable fixture.

And the hosts are 8/11 to do just that, with the visitors 4/1 for victory and the draw 5/2 which will do them just nicely.

Wales have been pretty good at home and the crowd will be right up for it, but the visitors got a 0-0 draw in Belgium in an unbeaten away campaign while also holding Wales 1-1 in the reverse fixture. I'm backing them to do it again with the hosts just missing that extra edge with the knowledge a play-off spot is already in their pocket.

Belgium v Liechtenstein

19:45 kick-offLive on Amazon Prime PPV

Drawing in Kazakhstan was a shock, but shock doesn't quite cover what even a draw here would be (it's priced 55/1 by the way) with Belgium 1/100 to put away lowly Liechtenstein - who have no wins, no points and no goals in qualifying, conceding 24 along the way.

Given those odds it's not really a strong betting game but for a fun one we'll back under 10.5 corners at 7/5. There were 10 corners in the reverse fixture and you could easily see Belgium banging in a few early goals and then taking their foot off the gas.

Austria v Bosnia

19:45 kick-off

A simple shootout for top spot here with 1/3 match favourites Austria just need a point to clinch it, while 15/2 shots Bosnia need to win to pinch it. Austria's defence has been tight in the group, as they've conceded just three in total and once at home.

But Bosnia's games have been full of goals of late - all of the last six saw over 2.5 goals while both teams scored in five of those - and four of the last six visitors have scored against the Austrians so I think their defensive record is a bit misleading. So I'll back goals, and the hosts to prove they're just a better side with a favourable group situation that will play into their hands.

Romania v San Marino

19:45 kick-off

Despite losing against Bosnia Romania still have a play-off spot to look forward to thanks to the Nations League so will want to bang in a few goals here to as a warm-up for what will be a tough away game in the semi-final.

So although Romania have been a bit goal shy at home, this is a great chance to fill their boots, with San Marino losing their last away game 10-0 in Austria, being 6-0 down at half-time, and I can see the hosts getting some early joy as it's been a long hard campaign for the minnows.

Spain v Turkey

19:45 kick-offLive on Amazon Prime PPV

Spain have been flawless but Turkey have been pretty good as well. The difference? Spain's thumping 6-0 win in the reverse fixture, which leaves Turkey needing an even bigger winning margin here to miraculously steal top spot. 1/5 favourites Spain haven't conceded a goal yet though and will be looking to keep it that way and bag a slice of national team history.

The attitude of the visitors is key here - they're 11/1 and know that effectively they're in the play-offs, so will they just freewheel it and take Spain on in a free hit or not really bother and sit back and go through the motions?

It could be somewhere in between, and usually they may get some success, but with Spain chasing a first qualifying campaign without conceding a goal I think they'll be taking things pretty seriously.

Bulgaria v Georgia

19:45 kick-off

Bulgaria have managed just one goal in qualifying, which unsurprisingly means zero points ahead of their final fixture - with Georgia's only points coming with a 3-0 home win in the reverse fixture. 

So nothing much to shout about for either of these then, and even though Georgia are clearly the better side there may be a case of both of these just wanting to get this game out of the way.

Kosovo v Switzerland

19:45 kick-off

Another 'top two clash' in name only as Kosovo would need a six-goal win to usurp Switzerland and that's just not happening - not when they're 5/1 just to win the game! The Swiss arrive as 11/20 favourites with just a draw in Slovenia as their only blemish of a campaign that saw them run out 4-0 winners in the reverse fixture.

So Switzerland can go through however they choose really - they've only conceded one goal in the campaign and if playing at full tilt you'd expect a clean sheet.

Sweden v Slovenia

19:45 kick-off

This campaign has been an utter disaster for Sweden, and yet they can still make the World Cup as they've got one of those Nations League play-off spots tucked away, but completing a first ever winless qualifying campaign wouldn't be the ideal warm-up.

So Graham Potter's 1/2 favourites will want to sign off with a home win at least against fellow winless side Slovenia - who still harboured hopes of finishing second before the weekend's 2-0 loss to Kosovo. So with the wind taken out of their sails, and just two goals in qualifying for Slovenia, Sweden should be able to force a victory.
