Wales (11/5) v
Australia (7/5)
Wales couldn’t be judged for taking encouragement from their
2-0 win over Northern Ireland but Australia are unbeaten in ten games with eight
clean sheets from a possible ten in 2011, during which they have conceded just
three times.
Advice: 1 pt Australia (7/5 VC Bet)
Italy (23/10) v Spain
(11/8)
Since a pair of heavy losses last year Spain have won all
their games and are well worth a poke to beat Italy. Cesare Prandelli has a
strong team out but it might not match the class of the world’s best side, who
by all accounts are pretty up for it.
Advice: 2 pts Spain (11/8 general)
France (5/6) v Chile
(4) (8PM)
France head into this international friendly on the back of
a 10-game unbeaten streak but are missing out on Franck Ribery, Philippe Mexes,
Yoann Gourcuff, Mathieu Valbuena & Patrice
Evra. Chile retain he majority of the side that were knocked out in July's Copa
America quarter-finals by surprise packages Venezuela, and with the likes of Barcelona's
Alexis Sanchez and Juventus' Arturo Vidal, present a big test for Laurent
Blanc’s side.
Advice: 1 pt Chile + 1 (evs Paddy Power)
Germany (7/5) v
Brazil (11/5)
Germany have been amongst the world’s elite for sometime and
can beat a lacklustre looking Brazil side who are struggling for results having
suffered bitterly disappointing Copa
America quarter-final exit. Germany have won all seven of their Euro 2012
qualifiers, and eight of their 12 matches since the 2010 World Cup, and look
like a solid proposition at home while Mano Menezes is yet to hold a training
session ahead of the game.
Advice: 2 pts Germany (7/5 Stan James)
Northern Ireland
(2/9) v Faroes (22)
The memory of Northern Ireland’s poor draw against the
Faroes is still fresh in the memory and I’m in no rush to get behind them in
any form with a plethora of strikers missing and a tight game maybe on the
cards. Nigel Worthington won’t be counting any chickens yet and 3 points will do
for him with harder games on the cards.
Advice: 1 pt Under 2.5 goals (5/4 Stan James)
Ireland (15/8) v
Croatia (7/4)
You couldn’t fail to be impressed with the way that Ireland
beat Italy and there’s no account that they’ll give Croatia a stiff test at
Croke Park. That said it looks like the visitors – who have only lost two of
their last 20 away internationals in all competitions – are likely to prove
tough nuts to crack too. Evens on both
sides to score is tempting but it might be that the value lies with the
visitors who have brought over Eduardo, Darjo Srna, Danijel Pranjic, and
Verdean Corulka
Advice: 1 pt Croatia (7/4 VC Bet)
Scotland (21/10) v
Denmark (6/4)
Scotland aren’t the pushovers that many think they are, especially
at home where they nearly took points off Spain, but Denmark are a useful side
who are looking for the hat – trick here and it’s not hard to see them coming
away from Hampden Park with a win. Both
teams to score is a tempting 10/11 with Coral’s and Hills but Scotland have conceded
first in their last three internationals and may do so again.
Advice: 1 pt Denmark to score first (evs Betfred)
