After Saturday saw the completion of the first round of international games this break, Matchday 4 begins on Sunday, with the UEFA Nations League now at the half-way stage.
With 26 games before Tuesday is out, BestofBets are putting up another scorer triple to ponder @ 22/1 with Boylesports.
So who has made the grade for our Matchday 4 goalscorer treble?
Christoph Baumgartner
First up for our treble, we look to Group B3, as leaders Norway travel to Austria on Monday night with Christoph Baumgartner looking to hit form.
After impressing during this past summer’s Euros, Austria got their first win under the belts since elimination to Turkey back in June.
Hitting Kazakhstan for four on Matchday 3, Baumgartner was first on the scoresheet, as player who makes the Austrians tick.
Only his second goal in six, the RB Leipzig man has been somewhat out of touch, but his tally belies his true value to a side, and is often a busy man at number 10.
Set for a decisive clash in seeking to gain promotion to League A, Austria have scored a remarkable 12 goals in their last three games on home soil; Baumgartner can cause problems for the Norwegians.
Mateo Retegui
Next, we jump to Group A2, as leaders Italy welcome Israel with open arms to Udine, with Mateo Retegui ready to shine again.
As the Israelis arrive bottom of the standings with three defeats from three after a 4-1 thumping in Budapest, the Azzurri could be in the mood to inflict more pain here.
Now revitalised under Luciano Spalletti, albeit after a tricky bedding-in spell, the Italians have scored seven goals so far this campaign – at least twice a game.
Toppling their opponents in the reverse fixture in Matchday 2, they were held 2-2 by Belgium after a Lorenzo Pellegrini dismissal, but here they should be back in the groove.
Italy’s front line is really starting to bolster up, and Retegui is part of a new era.
Now first-choice for Spalletti, the Argentine-born striker netted his third goal for his adopted nation on Thursday night, coming into the international break off a hat-trick against Genoa.
Clearly a man in form, Retegui looks well set to notch in back-to-back games.
Brennan Johnson
Speaking of form, we end our Matchday 4 goalscorer treble with a man who is quite simply a walking goal-magnet right now, Brennan Johnson.
As Wales continue their revolution under Craig Bellamy, the Welsh Dragon host Montenegro on Matchday 4, looking to hunt down Turkey for promotion to League A.
For Johnson, its now an impressive seven-game scoring streak for both Wales and Spurs, finally carrying over his scintillating Premier League form for his country, netting in Iceland on Friday night.
Johnson’s exploits have been aided by a more advanced, second striker role, particularly under Bellamy, who is creating a nice partnership with Kieffer Moore.
Montenegro proved a tough nut to crack for the Turks days ago, but Wales will be keen on keeping the momentum up in front of their own fans.
That should happen on Sunday, and right now, it is hard to back against Johnson.
BestofBets’ Matchday 4 goalscorer treble: Baumgartner, Retegui + Johnson @ 22/1 with Boylesports.
