Ladbrokes' football tips - Tuesday, September 29, 2026: Clean sheets for England, Switzerland and Spain

England were on the losing end of an entertaining, if slightly chaotic, 3-2 defeat to world champions Spain and while there were positives in an attacking sense, Thomas Tuchel will want to see some improvements defensively in Prague as they take on Czechia.

The Three Lions did not concede a goal in their eight World Cup qualifying games under Tuchel, which were games with a similar sort of feel and level of opponent to the one they face on Tuesday. Having also stopped Czechia from scoring in four of the previous six times they have met, our experts believe a more comfortably defensive showing should unfold here.

A tough game awaits Scotland in their second match under Sebastien Pocognoli as World Cup quarter-finalists Switzerland visit Hampden Park.

The Tartan Army impressed in a 0-0 draw with Slovenia but lacked the cutting edge to find the all important goal, and breaching a Swiss side which comfortably dispatched North Macedonia 3-0 in their Nations League opener looks an even taller order.

Finally, we're backing world champions Spain to also shut out Croatia in Nations League Group A3, with La Roja set for a more routine win in this game.

The two goals they shipped at Wembley was more than they conceded in the entire World Cup, with their tough defence a key reason why they are currently on a 39-match unbeaten run. Croatia are no pushovers but are still relying on 41-year-old Luka Modric to supply the goals, with a lack of real threat elsewhere on the pitch. Spain should have too much for them in this game, and so a win to nil feels likely here too.
