France are just one point away from winning Group One in the top tier of the Uefa Nations League as they visit second-placed Netherland­s for their final group game tonight. Les Bleus are already on seven points after two wins and a draw.

A draw tonight takes them to eight points, with the Netherland­s on four.

If tonight’s result is favourable to France, it will open up a chance for Germany – who have one point and are third in the group – to have hope of restoring some dignity and finishing second, should they win their last game against the Netherland­s.

This is a tough match to call because Dutch will also look for a win to stand a chance of wrestling the top spot from France if they go on and win their last game.

It should be an open and entertaini­ng game tonight, but I see a draw here. Pool name: S6 V3 P2 M1: Cyprus v Bulgaria. Cyprus to seize the moment. Tip: Cyprus win = 1 M2: Liechtenst­ein v FYR Macedonia. Easy win for Macedonia Tip: Macedonia win = 1 M3: Netherland­s v France. Previewed above Tip: Draw = 2 M4: Slovakia v Ukraine. Ukraine to cruise past Slovaks. Tip: Ukraine win = 3 M5: Slovenia v Norway. No way for Slovenia. Tip: Norway win = 3 M6: Wales v Denmark. No winner here.

Tip: Draw = 2
