New Delhi: With the last international break of the year reaching its final day, the UEFA Nations League still has few fixtures left in the group stage today. The quarter-finals of the tournament have already been decided, and now at stake is the relegation and promotion of the teams in the upcoming fixtures. Yesterday’s games saw Spain go past Switzerland with a penalty score in the extra time after A-team Nati were already relegated from League A.
A draw for Croatia against Portugal means they are through to the quarter-finals as well ahead of Scotland who were just a single point behind. Big fixtures will ensure that fans have a lot to look forward to until the Nations League returns in March for its quarter-final fixtures.

Bosnia and Herzegovina have been winless so far in the tournament, managing only one draw against Hungary. They will be coming to the fixture after suffering a 7-0 loss against Germany. Relegated to League B for the next edition of Nation League, the Golden Lillies are now playing for their pride at Stadion Billino Polje in Zenica.
The Netherlands, on the other hand, have made their third appearance in the Four Nations League so far. The 2018-19 runners-up side will be hoping to go one step ahead and win the coveted trophy. They broke their three-game winless streak against Hungary with a massive 4-0 win and will now hope to leave the final group game of the tournament on a positive note.
Prediction: Bosnia & Herzegovina 0-3 Netherlands
Wales vs Iceland (1:15 AM IST)
Wales managed to narrowly escape Turkey, who looked dangerous for most of the game. They thwarted an 89th-minute penalty kick from Kerem Aktutkoglu, making the two sides settle for a point. A win for Wales over Iceland would mean they can go past Turkey and be promoted to League A for the 2026-27 edition of the Nations League.
For Iceland, if they win in Principality Stadium against hosts, they will have a chance to compete in the playoffs for promotion in the League A. Iceland have had a good tournament in UEFA Nations League having won their first game since its start. They had been relegated to the B League at the end of 2021-22. They managed relegation only because of Russia’s expulsion. They will be keen on proving their calibre in the final day of the group stage.
Prediction: Wales 1-0 Iceland
