A European heavyweight showdown takes centre stage on Wednesday, as Germany face off against Portugal in the UEFA Nations League semi-finals.
This contest at the Allianz Arena in Munich provides our longshot of the day but first it’s to the J.League Cup in Japan, with a couple of play-off round games that offer up our two other selections for Wednesday’s action.

Bet of the Day – Cerezo Osaka to beat Yokohama FC @ 20/21
Starting with the first leg of the play-off tie between Cerezo Osaka and Yokohama FC and in-form Osaka are good value to win the opening encounter on home soil.
Currently on a four-game unbeaten run in all competitions, with three wins and a draw in that time, Osaka will fancy their chances of beating J1 League strugglers Yokohama.
Languishing just above the relegation zone, Yokohama have bigger fish to fry than this cup competition and Osaka can earn a first-leg lead at Yodoko Sakura Stadium on Wednesday.
Special of the Day – Avispa Fukuoka v Sanfrecce Hiroshima: Bet Builder – Sanfrecce Hiroshima to win and both teams to score @ 15/4
On a six-game winning streak before a last-gasp defeat to Kawasaki Frontale last time out, Sanfrecce Hiroshima will look to bounce back at the first time of asking when they head to Avispa Fukuoka.
Unbeaten in their last eight games against Avispa Fukuoka, Hiroshima have an impressive record in this fixture over recent years.
The last time these sides met was at the start of May, with Hiroshima earning a 2-1 victory at Edion Peace Wing Hiroshima thanks to a 90th-minute penalty from Ryo Germain.
Looking for their third consecutive win over Fukuoka, Hiroshima are good value to claim the victory in a game that is likely to see both teams score.
Four of the last five meetings between these teams have seen both sides get on the scoresheet and that trend might well continue this week in the J.League Cup.
Longshot of the Day – Germany v Portugal: Germany to win 3-1 correct score @ 13/1
Looking to secure a place in the UEFA Nations League final to face either Spain or France, Germany and Portugal are preparing for their semi-final showdown in Bavaria.
Germany have an excellent record when it comes to this fixture, winning the last five games against the Portuguese.
That run includes some memorable performances, with Die Mannschaft often finding ways to break through the Portuguese defence.
The Germans to win and both teams to score would have landed in three of the last five meetings between these sides going back to a 3-1 win for Die Mannschaft at the 2006 World Cup third-place play-off. That trend suggests value in the same market again here.
Given the attacking talent of both of these sides and Germany’s strong record in this fixture, another 3-1 victory catches the eye for this game and provides Wednesday’s longshot at attractive odds of 13/1.
