Nations League Betting Stats and Data

Nations League Betting Stats and Data
Our Nations League football betting tips are grounded in detailed statistical analysis from recent editions of UEFA’s international competition. This research examines trends in home advantage, average goals per match, and Both Teams to Score percentages across all divisions and stages. Prioritising consistency over short-term results, our football predictions give bettors a reliable, data-driven framework for identifying value throughout the Nations League campaign.

What are Nations League Predictions?

Nations League predictions are data-supported assessments of the most likely outcomes across UEFA’s tiered international tournament. These forecasts include long-term markets such as potential group winners and finalists, as well as match-focused bets like Correct Score and Over/Under 2.5 Goals. By combining historical statistics with current form, squad rotation trends, and tactical approaches, our Nations League predictions help bettors navigate the unique dynamics of a competition where national pride, promotion battles, and tournament qualification are all on the line.

How are Nations League Predictions determined?

Our analysts develop accurate Nations League predictions through a step-by-step process that integrates statistical modelling, squad assessment, and betting market evaluation. This predictive method reflects the specific dynamics of UEFA’s Nations League, where promotion and relegation battles, varying team priorities, and condensed match schedules make data-driven betting tips essential for punters.

The 3 main steps behind our Nations League predictions are as follows.

  • Evaluating national team form and competition history
  • Assessing squad rotation and managerial approach
  • Comparing insights with bookmaker odds
  1. Evaluating national team form and competition history. The first step in producing reliable Nations League predictions focuses on each nation’s historical record within the tournament’s league structure. Our analysts review data such as win rates, goal averages, and home advantage patterns from previous campaigns to identify performance trends across different tiers.
  2. Assessing squad rotation and managerial approach. Once statistical patterns are identified, the second step of producing accurate Nations League predictions involves examining how managers handle squad selection and tactical balance during the international window. Understanding these differing motivations helps us forecast intensity levels, goal potential, and likely outcomes for each matchday across the Nations League competition.
  3. Comparing insights with bookmaker odds. The final step in shaping bankable Nations League predictions aligns analytical findings with the current betting markets to pinpoint value opportunities. Since the Nations League features contrasting team objectives and rapid scheduling, odds often fluctuate sharply after line-ups or injury reports are released. Our analysts monitor these fluctuations and compare them with our internal data models, ensuring each Nations League prediction combines statistical accuracy with real-world betting value.

When are Nations League Predictions released?

Our UEFA Nations League predictions are released every Monday at 12:00 London Time, ensuring early access to forecasts ahead of each matchweek. For midweek fixtures, predictions are published shortly after the previous round concludes, typically around the same hour. Each Nations League forecast is carefully reviewed and verified before publication to maintain accuracy and reliability.

What are the most appealing Betting Markets to bet on for the Nations League?

The most appealing betting markets for the Nations League are Home Wins, Over 1.5 Goals, and Clean Sheets. These three options combine reliability with solid statistical backing, making them suitable for bettors who prefer consistent, data-driven selections over higher-risk outcomes.

What are the most appealing Betting Markets to bet on for the Nations League

More information about the 3 best markets to bet on for the UEFA Nations League is given below.

  • Home Wins. Home wins are one of the best markets to bet on in the Nations League due to the steady advantage teams maintain when playing on familiar ground. Across the last four editions, home victories have accounted for between 38% and 49% of all results, compared with 23–29% draws and 27–34% away wins. The clear edge for home wins confirms that crowd influence and comfort in home conditions still play a decisive role even in international competitions.
  • Over 1.5 Goals. The Over 1.5 Goals market remains one of the best options to bet on in the Nations League, thanks to its strong consistency and high strike rate across all seasons. Scoring rates have stayed impressive, with 65% of Nations League matches surpassing the 1.5-goal line in 2020/21, rising to 76% in 2022/23 and remaining high at 74% in 2024/25. The mix of attacking depth and technical quality across national teams ensures frequent scoring opportunities, making Over 1.5 Goals one of the most appealing markets for Nations League bettors seeking steady, moderate-risk returns.
  • Clean Sheets. Clean sheets are one of the best markets to bet on in the Nations League because defensive strength continues to define much of the competition’s balance. The percentage of Nations League matches ending with at least one clean sheet has ranged from 56% to 70%, reaching 62% in the 2024/25 season. This trend shows how established teams such as Spain and England often dominate possession and restrict opponents while smaller nations approach games conservatively to protect results.

The table below summarises the performance of these metrics across the last four Nations League seasons.

Season Home Wins Draws Away Wins Over 1.5 Goals Clean Sheets Avg. Goals per Match
2018/19 49% 24% 27% 75% 70% 2.41
2020/21 38% 29% 33% 65% 68% 2.28
2022/23 43% 23% 34% 76% 56% 2.62
2024/25 45% 24% 31% 74% 62% 2.72

Nations League Season Guide

The 2026/27 Nations League marks the fifth edition of the international tournament organised by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA). The next season of the Nations League competition will run from September 2026 to March 2028, covering the league phase, quarter-finals, promotion and relegation play-offs, and the Nations League Finals. Portugal enter as the Nations League defending champions after winning the 2025 tournament, while this edition will again link to UEFA Euro 2028 qualifying.

What Is the Format of the Nations League 2026/27 Season?

The format of the Nations League divides UEFA’s national teams into four leagues, which are A, B, C, and D. Leagues A, B, and C each include sixteen teams split into four groups of four, while League D features six teams divided into two groups of three. Teams taking part in the Nations League play home-and-away matches within their group between September and November 2026, except League D sides, who play four matches.

In League A of the Nations League, group winners and runners-up advance to the quarter-finals, played over two legs in March 2027. The four winners then contest the Nations League Finals in June 2027, featuring semi-finals, a third-place play-off, and a final hosted by one of the four qualified nations.

In the lower leagues, group winners in Leagues B, C, and D are promoted, while the bottom teams in Leagues A and B are relegated. In League C, the two lowest-ranked teams are relegated automatically, with promotion and relegation play-offs determining the final spots between Leagues C and D. This structure mirrors the promotion and relegation system used in domestic leagues ensuring competitive balance and year-on-year progression across all divisions.

What are the Start & End Dates for the Nations League 2026/27?

The 2026/27 Nations League starts on 23 September 2026 and ends on 28 March 2028. The league phase of UEFA’s Nation League competition runs from 23 September to 16 November 2026, followed by the League A quarter-finals and League A/B and B/C play-offs from 25 to 30 March 2027. The Nations League Finals are scheduled for 7 to 15 June 2027, while the League C/D play-offs conclude the competition between 23 and 28 March 2028.

How are Nations League Fixtures Built Up?

Nations League fixtures are built up by UEFA based on rankings from the 2024/25 edition, which determine the seeding for each league and group. Teams taking part in the Nations League tournament face each opponent twice in a home-and-away round-robin format, ensuring balanced competition. Quarter-finals and promotion/relegation play-offs are scheduled after the group stage, with higher-ranked teams hosting the second leg. Semi-final pairings for the Nations League Finals are decided by draw, and the host nation (usually one of the finalists) is selected by the UEFA Executive Committee.
