Friday evening brings us a raft of European Championship matches to get our teeth into; we've selected our best bets from across the continent, searching from Valletta to Tbilisi to bring you three selections.
First up we've picked Belgium to beat Azerbaijan in Group A. Belgium boast an impressive squad that includes the likes of Romelu Lukaku, Eden Hazard, Marouanne Fellaini, Dan Van Buyten and 22 year old attacking midfielder Axel Witsel. George Leekens team are unbeaten in six including the reverse of this fixture in which they came out on top the 4-1 winners. Currently 74 places above the Azeri in the FIFA rankings we see no reason why this one wont go with form in favour of the 1980 European Championship runners-up. You can get 4/9 with various bookmakers on the Belgium triumph. The Belgium HT/FT odds of 11/10 also look backable.
Estonia travel the near 1000 mile trip to Slovenia facing an uphill struggle. Slovenia are best priced at 10/29 to beat the side ranked 79 by FIFA. Estonia are without a point, or a goal, in their last 6 away matches which included defeat to the Faroe Islands. In their most recent home matches Slovenia have earnt a credible home draw against Belgium and were narrowly defeated by Italy. Their record against Estonia is very good with a 83% win ratio. Priced at just better than 1/3 we think this really is 'Like Buying Money'.
We also think that Wales will be good enough for a draw against Zlatko Kranjcar's Montenegro at the Cardiff City Stadium. Both sides to earn a Group G point in the Welsh capital is priced at 23/10 with various firms. Wales are pointless in their European Qualifying campaign to date whereas Montenegro have impressed so far hauling 11 points from their opening 5 games, including a point against England at Wembley. Although the form stats point towards a likely away victory we think that Gary Speed's team, including Craig Bellamy, Gareth Bale, Aaron Ramsey and Robert Earnshaw are good enough to claim a point in this one.
Selections
Belgium to beat Azerbaijan at 4/9 (Various)
Slovenia to beat Estonia at 10/29 (bwin)
Wales and Montenegro to draw at 23/10 (Various)
Hi guys,
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your bets today. I myself took belgium -1 which seems to be on the drift after I backed it but OK. Still think it's solid enough. Some players with confidence in their squad so really Azerbaijan should be no problem.
Again good luck!
