Football Accumulator Tips: 14/1 four-fold from Monday’s World Cup qualifiers

There are six Uefa World Cup qualifiers in action across Monday as the race to reach the finals in the USA, Canada and Mexico next summer heats up. Wales have had an excellent start in Group J and face a trip to Belgium, who have played two games fewer than them but only have one point to show for it.

I've taken a close look at this contest and the others on offer today to put together a valuable four-fold priced at 14/1. Check out my Football Accumulator Tips below, of which the first game kicks off at 15:00 BST.

North Macedonia to beat Kazakhstan (A) @ 21/20

North Macedonia and Kazakhstan are in Group J alongside Wales and Belgium and they meet at Astana Arena on Monday. This is a big game for the two sides as there are just two points between them ahead of this clash and Kazakhstan could leapfrog the visitors with a victory.

The home team suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat against Belarus on Friday and although it was only a friendly, it has not set them up well for this crunch clash with North Macedonia, who should come into this game with confidence.

They earned a hard-fought point against Belgium on Friday and so they will fancy their chances against Kazakhstan on Monday, who are nowhere near as strong as the Red Devils.

It may not be a high-scoring or entertaining fixture, but I think North Macedonia have enough quality to go out and put another three points on the board.

Draw or Wales - vs Belgium (A) @ 7/4

Belgium will be feeling slightly disappointed that they didn't get their campaign off to a flying start but it would've been worse had they lost. They host Wales in Brussels in a game they really cannot afford to lose.

The home side have had a pretty underwhelming couple of years which have been sobering following the expiration of their 'Golden Generation' which earned recognition on the international stage in the past decade.

There are no signs that this current Belgium crop have what it takes to tussle with the best in the near future and the way I see it, Wales will be a stern test for them to face. The Dragons have been in good form since Craig Bellamy took the reins (five wins, four draws) and they lead the way in Group J currently on seven points.

Yes, Belgium have games in hand, but a defeat here could be a crushing blow in their pursuit of reaching the World Cup finals next year. The visitors have momentum which can prove to be a huge problem against Belgium, but the hosts are playing at home which could come into play.

However, I'm more confident that we will see Wales win this contest than the Red Devils, so I am going to cover an away win with a draw for insurance here.

Croatia to beat Czech Republic (H) @ 8/11

In Group L, Croatia and Czech Republic meet in Osijek and they are the two frontrunners to progress. This fixture could end up being what separates them between first and second. Czech Republic currently lead the way on nine points, having won all their matches to date.

Croatia are third on three points but they have two games in hand on their opponents, something that the Czech Republic will be more than aware of. This looks to be an entertaining contest at the Opus Arena and there is going to be plenty of quality on offer given the attackers on display for both teams.

I think I have to give Croatia the edge because of their squad depth, particularly in attack with the likes of Ante Budimir and Andrej Kramaric, but you also can't ignore Patrik Schick for the visitors. I have Croatia to come away with the three points, while they also have an unbeaten record against Czech Republic to maintain.

Italy to win to nil vs Moldova (H) @ 4/7

Italy's 3-0 defeat at the hands of Group I leaders Norway on Friday sealed the fate of manager Luciano Spalletti, who announced in his press conference that he had been dismissed from his post.

He will take charge of the Azzurri for the final time against Moldova, which will bring to an end just under two years in the role. The former Napoli boss will want to go out with pride after the dismal performance last time out.

Luckily for him and his players, they have an easy game (on paper) to put their first victory on the board in this qualifying campaign. Moldova leak goals far too often so this is well and truly an open goal for the Azzurri, who simply cannot afford to drop points here.

Their defence was fragile against Norway but they should be able to stand firm against their next opponents, who have blanked in two of their last three matches in all competitions. I'm backing Italy to win to nil in Reggio Emilia.
