Montenegro square off against Lithuania on Thursday evening looking to record a victory that would catapult them back into contention in Group G.
As for the home nation, they occupy bottom spot in the Euro 2024 qualification group, albeit holding the opportunity to move level on points with their next opponents.
We say: Lithuania 1-2 Montenegro
Having claimed a draw with Bulgaria, Lithuania cannot be ruled out from gaining at least another share of the spoils in this contest. Nevertheless, we can only back the visitors, who should have enough quality at both ends of the pitch to come through with maximum points.

France will be looking to preserve their perfect start in Group B of Euro 2024 qualifying when they welcome Republic of Ireland to Parc des Princes on Thursday evening.
The Boys in Green will be seeking revenge against Les Blues after suffering a slender 1-0 defeat in Dublin in the reverse fixture in March, courtesy of a stunning strike from Benjamin Pavard.
We say: France 3-0 Republic of Ireland
Republic of Ireland frustrated France in spells during their last meeting six months ago and they will require another dogged display if they wish to claim a famous result in Paris.
However, Les Bleus are unsurprisingly regarded as favourites for this contest and the abundance of attacking quality at Deschamps's disposal should help fire his side to another victory in qualifying.

Netherlands vs. Greece (Thursday, 7.45pm)

Seeking to quickly brush aside their disappointment from the UEFA Nations League, Netherlands play host to Greece at the Philips Stadion in Eindhoven in a Euro 2024 qualifier on Thursday evening.
While the Oranje have picked up three points from their opening two fixtures in Group B, Piratiko have accumulated six points from their first three matches.
We say: Netherlands 2-2 Greece
Following an underwhelming start to 2023, the pressure is on the Netherlands to fine their form and come out on top in what, on paper, is considered a favourable-looking fixture at home against Greece.
However, considering the Oranje are missing a few key players and have shown signs of defensive frailties under Koeman, Greece could spring a surprise and claim a hard-fought point in an entertaining contest in Eindhoven to shake up Group B.

Poland vs. Faroe Islands (Thursday, 7.45pm)

Aiming to make up lost ground in European Championship qualifying Group E, Poland seek maximum points on Thursday, when Faroe Islands are the visitors at Warsaw's Stadion Narodowy.
After the Eagles slipped up in Moldova last time out, leaving them adrift of group leaders Czech Republic, their Faroese counterparts sit rock-bottom with just a single point from three matches.
We say: Poland 4-0 Faroe Islands
As Poland know another stumble against one of Group E's minnows could serve a critical blow to their top-two aspirations, a strong side should take care of business on Thursday. Putting them back on the path towards Germany next summer, victory on home turf should set the Eagles up for an intriguing encounter with Albania later this week.

Czech Republic vs. Albania (Thursday, 7.45pm)

The top two in Group E of European Championship qualifying clash on Thursday evening, as the Czech Republic host Albania at Fortuna Arena.
Ahead of their trip to Prague, the visitors sit on six points from three matches; meanwhile, their hosts top the table and remain unbeaten.
We say: Czech Republic 1-0 Albania
As Albania have won just twice since the start of 2022 - both times versus modest opposition - coming away from Prague with a point may be too much to ask. Despite having some potential game-changers in their squad, the Eagles lack the nous of their hosts, who do not tend to concede many goals against nations of a similar stature.

Serbia and Hungary square off on Thursday evening with the two nations locked on the same points in Group G.
Both sides came through their opening three Euro 2024 qualifying fixtures unbeaten and will back themselves to extend those streaks in Belgrade.
We say: Serbia 2-0 Hungary
Although Hungary are a nation on the up and have kept clean sheets in their opening three games, this is their most difficult fixture in the group. Serbia are generally a formidable outfit in front of their own supporters, leading us to predict a hard-fought home win.

We say: Slovenia 2-0 Northern Ireland
Having lost each of their last three matches without scoring, Northern Ireland look set to suffer another damaging defeat on Thursday, strengthening Slovenia's qualification hopes in the process.
