After the excitement of the Champions League, the focus moves to international football with Euro 2024 qualifiers being played across the weekend.

With some big games on the agenda, we have picked five goalscorers to follow in the matches taking place on Friday and Saturday.

Wales have entered their post-Gareth Bale era in solid form, with a 1-1 draw away at Croatia and a win over Latvia in March.

Kieffer Moore netted the winner in the Latvia victory and he could land on the scoresheet again when his side face Armenia on Friday.

The visitors have conceded 19 times in their last six matches and Moore will fancy his chances against a backline with that record.

The Bournemouth striker has a respectable 10 goals in 33 appearances for his country and could extend that tally here.

Denmark's Rasmus Hojlund has attracted plenty of attention from potential suitors across Europe and it is no surprise given the 20-year-old's skillset.

The youngster scored 10 goals in 34 games in all competitions for Atalanta last season and has an even more impressive record for his country.

The Dane has netted five times in four matches for his nation, including a hat-trick against Finland in March.

Hojlund and his team-mates face a Northern Ireland side on Friday who have been involved in some high-scoring affairs. 

Their last six matches have produced 19 goals, and the young forward could contribute to another open game.

Ukraine led Germany 3-1 on Monday before they were pegged back twice late on. Viktor Tsygankov netted twice for the Ukranians and has proven himself to be a reliable source of goals throughout his career.

The winger is the top scorer in the squad behind Andriy Yarmolenko, netting nine goals in 45 games for his national team.

Tsygankov is fresh from a solid season at Girona and is fancied to get on the scoresheet against North Macedonia on Friday.

Scotland's struggle for a continuous source of goals is well known but Steve Clarke's side are in solid form, beating Cyprus and Spain in their first two Euro 2024 qualifiers without conceding.

The Tartan Army face a tough test on Saturday as they visit Norway, but they will be boosted by the poor recent form of their opponents, who have lost three of their last four games.

John McGinn remains the top scorer in the Scotland squad, playing in a more advanced role for his nation than at Aston Villa and the midfielder could be overpriced to get on the scoresheet in this clash. 

Michy Batshuayi could play a key role for Belgium against Austria

Romelu Lukaku may struggle to pick his form back up after a disappointing Champions League final and Belgium may opt for Michy Batshuayi up front when they face Austria on Saturday.

Batshuayi has 27 goals in 50 appearances for his nation and scored 12 times in 19 matches for Fenerbahce this season.

He could carry his good club form into the international arena and is fancied to get on the scoresheet here.
