England and Germany will only play for pride when the two European giants round off League A Group 3 in the UEFA Nations League at Wembley Stadium on Monday night.
The Three Lions were condemned to relegation to League B after a 1-0 defeat to Italy on Friday night, while Hansi Flick's men saw their hopes of first place crash and burn with a loss to Hungary by the same scoreline.
We say: England 1-1 Germany
Knowing that the outcome of Monday's game will be rendered inconsequential either way, England and Germany can both afford to play with the handbrake off, and a multitude of changes can be expected from both nations.
Failure to score from open play again would lead to growing discontent around Wembley for Southgate's men at the worst possible time, and we do expect the Three Lions to finally break their barren run against a Germany side who have endured plenty of disappointments on the road.
However, it is extremely difficult to back England to win with any real confidence, and Die Mannschaft can fight back to rescue a point and consign their hosts to a winless Nations League campaign.

Hungary vs. Italy (Monday, 7.45pm)

Deciding both teams' destiny in the UEFA Nations League, a crucial clash between Hungary and Italy on Monday sees the pair battle for a place in next summer's finals.
While the hosts' latest upset of a top European nation sees them two points clear at the top of League A Group 3, the Azzurri's win over England means they can snatch first place with victory in Budapest.
We say: Hungary 1-1 Italy
Persistent overachievers, Hungary are buoyed by their first competitive win over Germany since the 1954 World Cup, and fear no national side after their recent exploits. Injury-hit Italy remain a squad needing a post-Euros overhaul, and will fall short of the win required to reach the Nations League finals.

Montenegro play host to Finland in the UEFA Nations League on Monday evening looking for the win which will secure second place in League B Group 3.
Meanwhile, Finland head into the contest knowing that only three points will guarantee that they avoid relegation to Group C.
We say: Montenegro 2-1 Finland
Given the contrasting pressure on the two nations, this game may come down to how Finland approach getting the result that they require. That said, we cannot ignore that Montenegro deserve to be regarded as favourites on home territory, and we feel that they will run out winners by the odd goal in three.

Romania play host to Bosnia-Herzegovina on Monday evening knowing that they must avoid defeat to have a chance of avoiding relegation to League C.
Meanwhile, the visitors have already won League B Group 3 and there will be a desire to conclude it having not lost any of their six fixtures.
We say: Romania 1-1 Bosnia-Herzegovina
Even though Bosnia-Herzegovina are the runaway leaders, they have recorded draws in each of their other two away games. With that in mind, we feel that lightning may strike for a third time, leaving it up to Montenegro to do the home side a favour in the other match.

Gibraltar vs. Georgia (Monday, 7.45pm)

The fate of both Gibraltar and Georgia has already been decided as they face off at Victoria Stadium in their last game of this UEFA Nations League campaign on Monday night.
Georgia, six points clear of second-placed North Macedonia, will be promoted to League B, whereas Gibraltar will be going into play-outs in March 2024 to determine whether they will be relegated to League D or not.
We say: Gibraltar 0-3 Georgia
Georgia have shown throughout the Nations League that they are very capable of scoring a lot of goals and Gibraltar have been very prone to conceding them. So, a dominant display by Georgia is expected, with Kvaratskhelia likely to be amongst the goals.

North Macedonia host Bulgaria in League C Group 4 of the UEFA Nations League on Monday.
Both teams are fighting for second spot in the group, with the promotion and relegation places already determined.
We say: North Macedonia 1-1 Bulgaria
Bulgaria are heading into this clash with more momentum after their thumping win over Gibraltar in Krstajic's first game in charge on Friday.
However, Macedonia should have enough about them to avoid defeat and hold onto second place in League C Group 4.

San Marino take on Estonia in League D Group 2 of the UEFA Nations League on Monday, with the visitors looking to maintain their 100% record.
The hosts, meanwhile, will be aiming for their first ever win in a competitive match.
We say: San Marino 0-2 Estonia
San Marino are rarely thrashed at this level, so we expect them to make life difficult for the visitors during certain periods.
However, there is little doubt that Estonia are a step up in class from their forthcoming opponents, so their 100% record should remain in tact.
