England vs Albania: Harry Kane to Score
Tonight at 3:45 PM ET, the Three Lions begin their journey to the 2026 World Cup in the Americas. Our England vs Albania prediction highlights the top scorer and captain of the English team, Harry Kane. As the all-time top scorer for England, Kane is set to put his team in a good position for this first match, and his odds of -135 to score today seem worth considering. The hosts, heavy favorites to win, are expected to dominate, and Bayern Munich’s number 9 should have plenty of chances to score.
Uruguay vs Argentina: Nunez to Score
Later in the evening, two South American giants will face off at 7:30 PM ET. Our Uruguay vs Argentina prediction is live, check it out for more info on this SA clash of the titans. For this match, we believe the hosts should not be underestimated and might put on a strong performance. Our experts are looking to Liverpool's striker Darwin Nunez to find the back of the net.
Marcelo Bielsa’s men are determined to put pressure on the defending champions, and the Liverpool striker could make the difference! The odds for Darwin Nunez anytime goal scorer currently sit at +230.
Moldova vs Norway: Erling Haaland to Score
Next, we move back to Europe with our prediction for Moldova vs Norway. The visitors are heavy favorites to win, and their star striker, Erling Haaland, should once again leave his mark on this match!
The Manchester City forward has already scored 38 goals in 39 appearances for Norway’s national team at just 24 years old, positioning himself as a legend of the country. However, leading his team to the World Cup would elevate his status even further. Against a much weaker opponent on paper, his odds of -180 to score are what our experts are offering as the bet to choose for this match!
Montenegro vs Gibraltar: Nikola Krstovic to Score
We finish this article with a final scorer bet for the weekend, featuring Nikola Krstovic. He’s the standout of our Montenegro vs Gibraltar prediction. The Lecce striker, with 10 goals in Serie A this season for a team struggling to avoid relegation, has been performing very well individually.
At the club level, he’s recently scored a brace against AC Milan and found the net against Genoa, so he arrives in good form for this March international break. Sportsbooks are offering average odds of -125 for him to score in tomorrow's matchup, and that’s the bet we recommend against a Gibraltar team that is clearly weaker on paper.
