10 Matches To Bet On And Value Bets

There is still domestic action to keep an eye on though, with key fixtures in England’s League One and League Two, giving punters a solid mix of international and club football to work with.

South Africa vs Panama (Friday)

There’s a fresh start on the line in Durban as Bafana Bafana welcome Panama to Moses Mabhida Stadium, with both sides still chasing their first win of 2026. South Africa come into this one off a narrow defeat to Cameroon at AFCON, while Panama also slipped up in their last outing, falling to Mexico in January. With both teams eager to respond, this could open up into a lively contest.

Suggested Bet: Both teams to score
Value Bet: Draw

Spain vs Serbia (Friday)

Spain step up their World Cup build-up with a home friendly against Serbia at Estadio de la Cerámica. La Roja cruised through qualifying with authority, topping their group ahead of Turkey, and will be keen to keep that momentum going. Serbia, on the other hand, missed out on qualification and now face a tough test against one of Europe’s form sides.

Suggested Bet: Spain to win
Value Bet: Spain to win on the handicap

England vs Uruguay (Friday)

Wembley sets the stage for England’s next World Cup warm-up match as they take on Uruguay in what should be a competitive friendly. The Three Lions have been in relentless form, cruising through qualifying with a perfect record and not conceding a single goal, which tells you everything about how solid they’ve been at both ends of the pitch. Uruguay arrive with mixed recent results in friendlies, and their heavy loss to the USA late last year will still be fresh in the memory. On current form, England will expect to control the game, but Uruguay are the type of side that can be dangerous if given space.

Suggested Bet: England to win
Value Bet: England to win and over 2.5 goals

USA vs Belgium (Saturday)

There’s a bit of history behind this fixture as the USA take on Belgium in Atlanta, revisiting their classic 2014 World Cup meeting. Both teams arrive in confident mood based on their most recent results, with the Americans putting five past Uruguay and Belgium dismantling Liechtenstein. Goals should be on the cards here.

Suggested Bet: Both teams to score
Value Bet: Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals

Canada vs Iceland (Saturday)

Canada return to home soil in Toronto where they host Iceland at BMO Field. The co-hosts of the upcoming World Cup have already kicked off their year with a win, edging Guatemala, while Iceland come into this clash after a heavy defeat to Mexico. Canada will fancy their chances of controlling proceedings from start to finish.

Suggested Bet: Canada to win
Value Bet: Canada to win to nil

Haiti vs Tunisia (Saturday)

Haiti and Tunisia meet in Toronto this weekend in a friendly that forms part of both nations’ early build-up to the 2026 World Cup. Haiti arrive in confident mood after an excellent qualifying run where they wrapped up top spot with a professional win over Nicaragua, while Tunisia were equally impressive, finishing their campaign without conceding a single goal. This match should be more open than a typical friendly, with both teams looking to build rhythm and sharpen their attacking play rather than just manage the game.

Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals
Value Bet: Tunisia to win and over 2.5 goals

Exeter City vs Leyton Orient (Saturday)

Exeter City head into Saturday’s home fixture knowing three points could be crucial in their fight to put distance between themselves and the relegation places. They come up against a Leyton Orient side that has looked far more settled in recent weeks and currently sit a few places above them in the League One standings. With Exeter likely to approach this aggressively at home and Orient carrying decent form, this has the feel of a game where chances will come at both ends.

Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals
Value Bet: Exeter City to score first

Blackpool vs Burton Albion (Saturday)

There’s real pressure on both sides at Bloomfield Road as Blackpool and Burton Albion meet in a match that could have a big say in the relegation battle. The gap between the two teams is small, which makes this one of those fixtures where neither side can really afford to sit back. In games like this, nerves often lead to mistakes, and that usually means goals at both ends.

Suggested Bet: Both teams to score
Value Bet: Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals

Harrogate Town vs Notts County (Saturday)

Harrogate Town return to Wetherby Road under pressure, with results not going their way in recent weeks and the relegation picture starting to tighten around them. Things don’t get any easier here, as they face a Notts County side pushing at the right end of the table and playing with plenty of confidence. Harrogate have struggled for goals, especially at home, and that could be a major factor against a team that usually finds a way to get on the scoresheet.

Suggested Bet: Notts County to win
Value Bet: Notts County to win and over 2.5 goals

Salford City vs MK Dons (Saturday)

This weekend’s clash between Salford City and MK Dons has plenty riding on it at the top end of League Two. Salford are sitting in the play-off positions and still have their sights set on automatic promotion, but they come up against an MK Dons side that has been far more consistent and currently holds the advantage in the race near the top of the table. With so much at stake and neither side wanting to hand an edge to a direct rival, this could turn into a tight, tactical game rather than an open one.

Suggested Bet: Under 2.5 goals
Value Bet: Draw
