With a ten-day pause in club football, the spotlight shifts to the international stage as players compete for national honours. The UEFA Nations League comes alive from Thursday evening, as the competition enters its crucial phase. Which teams will secure a spot in the quarter-finals, and who will face relegation to a lower league? Catch all the live action on GOtv, starting at 8:45 pm on Thursday.
Below are some of the key fixtures to look out for:
Belgium Vs. Italy: The Belgium team still has an outside chance of making the quarter-finals but will have to beat Italy and hope that results elsewhere go their way. Italy will cement their top spot in the group with a win. Both teams played a thrilling 2-2 draw during the last international break. And if that is anything to go by, this will be another entertaining encounter. Catch the match live on GOtv ch 61 at 8:45 pm on Thursday.
France Vs Israel: While some key players withdrew from international commitment this week, the French team is at full strength knowing that this is a must-win match for them to make the quarter-finals. France are favorites to win this match, but European football is always full of surprises. This match will also be broadcast live on GOtv ch 68 at 8:45 pm on Thursday
Greece Vs. England: The Three Lions of England are three points behind Greece and must win this match to stand a chance of gaining automatic promotion to League A.
