Any Other Bets: Nations League tips for Sunday 17 November

Sunday brings the penultimate round of Nations League group fixtures, with some sides on the cusp of reaching the finals and others facing relegation

There are a number of key ties across the two divisions on Sunday, with the first of the top-tier matches seeing Spain travel to neighbours Portugal in a repeat of the reverse fixture, which Spain won 1-0 last month.

Portugal will again be without Cristiano Ronaldo, who will instead line up for Al-Nassr in a friendly against Lionel Messi's Paris Saint-Germain on Thursday.

Switzerland head into their match with the Czech Republic knowing that three points in St Gallen would clinch a place in next year's finals. The Swiss won 2-1 in Prague in June, with the Czechs facing relegation to League B should they fall to defeat again.

Slovakia, meanwhile, will join the Czechs in dropping down a division if they fail to beat Azerbaijan on home soil.

In League B, both Scotland and the Republic of Ireland must win if they are to retain hopes of reaching the play-offs.

Scotland host Ukraine in Glasgow on Tuesday, and despite the strength of the visitors, Steve Clarke's men will be confident of victory having won the reverse fixture 3-0 in June.

The Republic have a slightly tougher task on Tuesday, travelling to Armenia, who are unbeaten in their last three matches.
