Let’s get to it.
Uzbekistan vs Russia – BTTS (1.97)
We start with a friendly where no clean sheet should be expected.
In 6 of Uzbekistan’s last 7 home matches, and in 6 of Russia’s last 9 away matches, both teams scored at least 1 goal.
England vs Croatia – Over 1.5 goals for England (1.30)
Modric & Co. will be keen to avenge that disastrous 7-0 loss to the Three Lions in Rijeka last month, but will surely be up against it again.
England has scored at least 2 goals in 9 of their last 10 matches, as well as in 5 of the last 6 head-to-head encounters between the two teams played in England.
Italy vs France – BTTS (1.56)
Italy has scored in 12 of their last 13 home matches, while France has scored in 15 of their last 16 away matches. Furthermore, both teams have scored against each other in each of their last 6 head-to-head meetings.
Armenia vs Cyprus – Double chance of draw or Cyprus to win (1.60)
This one really should go the visitors’ way.
Armenia has won only 2 of their last 11 matches, while Cyprus has lost only 1 of their last 5. Additionally, Cyprus has lost only 1 of the 8 head-to-head encounters between the two teams.
Albania vs Finland – Under 2.5 goals (1.60)
Don’t hold your breath for champagne football in Tirana.
Only 3 of Albania’s last 13 home matches have featured more than 2 goals, a trend that also holds true for all head-to-head meetings between these teams played in Albania.
Crewe vs Wigan – No BTTS (2.20)
This is an EFL Trophy clash with a League One side travelling to a League Two one. Wigan are the favourites as the higher-placed team and 3 of their last 4 games ended with one team keeping a clean sheet. Also, none of the last 5 H2Hs ended with BTTS landing.
Pamplona vs Eibar – Eibar to win on a -1.5 Asian handicap (1.50)
It’s hard to see the hosts getting any joy whatsoever here…
Second-division side Eibar are massive favourites to win this Copa del Rey tie, with an outright win for them priced at 1.15.
They are up against Pamplona, a fifth tier club that is also in poor form after losing 4 of their last 5 fixtures.
Hemel Hempstead vs Torquay – Torquay to win (1.82)
Hemel Hempstead have not won any of their last 11 home games in any competition, a stretch that goes back to last season.
With the odds for the draw being longer than the ones for a home win, backing Torquay to win outright makes more sense than the double chance (at 1.21), especially since the visitors have not drawn an away match since May.
Ghana vs Somalia – Under 3.5 goals (1.65)
Only 2 of Ghana’s last 10 matches in all competitions registered more than 3 goals. Meanwhile, 3.5- has landed in all of Somalia’s last 15 fixtures.
Czech Republic vs Spain – Over 2.5 goals (1.42)
Two sides in very contrasting form are clashing in Prague. There is not much value in backing Spain, so we are looking at a goals angle. This line, plus another similarly priced one gets you an acca with around 2.00 odds.
8 of Czechia’s last 10 matches in all competitions finished with 3 or more goals scored. The same is true for 6 of Spain’s own last 10, including the last 4 in a row.
San Marino vs Belarus – Belarus to win on a -1.5 Asian handicap (1.50)
The hosts are on a run of 19 winless matches, with 18 of them being defeats. Of those, 12 losses came by a margin of 2 or more goals. Belarus have already beaten San Marino 4-0 last month.
Netherlands vs Greece – BTTS (1.70)
Last, but certainly not least, we are looking forward to surprise package Greece making the trip to the Netherlands.
The Dutch have scored and conceded in all of their last 9 outings in all competitions, including a 2-2 draw in Athens last month.
