Day two for leg two

Second nine matches from European World cup qualifiers for 2018 are being played this evening. For second consecutive night all games starts at the same time.

- Belgium - Bosnia and Herzegovina. In a lack of derby games this Friday this may be considered as such. It may go in Belgium's way, but you never know what to expect from dangerous Bosnians. The visitors are looking to earn something out of it and it looks like that they will share the points.
- Estonia - Gibraltar. No matter how bad you are you are always going to have some strength and beat the competitor. Probably the worst two awful teams from group H meet in the second leg. It is not laughable to say that Gibraltar can pull out a historic win, but Estonia should claim victory.
- France - Bulgaria. At the opening day France had been dreadful and tonight they just have to win. Opposing them is Bulgaria who barely escaped humiliation and beat Luxembourg last month. We cannot say that this will be enjoyable to watch but the hosts have to score plenty of goals.
- Greece - Cyprus. At this 'brotherly' meeting it is unlikely that these two will share the cake. It will be a tense match and Greece an Cyprus aim for a win. One goal difference should decide the winner and the hosts should take the whole prey.
- Holland - Belarus. Holland is having a difficult time at the moment as the team is struggling to find its good form. They are playing Belarus which impressed at the opening game in group A. No matter how hard it is the hosts must stay focused and keep the whole three points for themselves.
Hungary - Switzerland. Long ago Switzerland was beaten by tonight's hosts. But over the years football in Switzerland was growing and the result can be the other way around. Hungary knows this threat, and although Swiss are may be favorites, a draw will come.
- Latvia - Faroe Islands. Latvia welcome Faroe Islands who, lately, plays much better football. It will not be the easiest for the hosts to achieve a victory knowing that the Faroes are even more dangerous and can score goals whenever they want. However, a draw is fair for both.
- Luxembourg - Sweden. Luxembourg unfortunate loss in September is like a stimulus that they can score goals. Their rivals tonight is Sweden who are expecting for new points. It may seem tough for the visitors, but if they are focused and well prepared three points are imminent.
- Portugal - Andorra. One of those games where everyone expect to see plenty of goals or maybe (only) one, depends on the mood (double figure is out of the question). Every team is beating the minnows Andorra, which is actually attraction for goals scored. There is not much more to say about Portugal, who this will see as an easy training in an official match.
