LOOKS like every man and his dog was on Portugal last night and rightly so.
I don't think the young team Alex McLeish fielded had much chance although they played OK and were unlucky to be trailing at the break.
But in the end a weakened Portuguese had too much for us and helped land my only bet which was a treble that became a double with Kosovo drawing at the Faroes.
I was tempted to go big on a Portugal single but when it comes to friendlies you're never sure how teams will treat them.
Well done to all the winners and let's hope for more of the same on the latest international card.
Games in the Nations League include Spain v England, Ireland v Switzerland and Bosnia v Northern Ireland and I'll post at least one time around lunchtime.
Spain have won all three games under Luis Enrique and look back in business so this will be a tough one for Gareth Southgate's side who have lost their way a little bit after doing so well in Russia – it's now four without a win.
Enrique's successes include a 6-0 rout against Croatia and 4-1 defeat of Wales last week with mainly a second string.
The Spaniards are proving just as popular as Portugal were last night and have been cut from 10-11 to a biggest.
England are without Jordan Henderson and John Stones while Harry Kane is out of form and it will be a young side that rolls up in Sevilla.
I'm on Spain on a treble and adding Bosnia to beat Northern Ireland. The Bosnians face a side without a goal in five away games and minus main striker Kyle Lafferty.
With Will Grigg injured and Liam Boyce a doubt it will be down to Josh Magennis to lead the line and other bets to consider are Bosnia to win to nil and Miralem Pjanic or Edin Dzeko to score.
Complete the treble with Hungary at a powderpuff Estonia who lost three in a row to nil.
Belarus and Luxembourg should also win but are short and I'm leaving out the Finland v Greece and Iceland v Switzerland ties.

I expect this to be an open ended game and anything but the 6-0 mauling Iceland suffered at the hand of the Swiss last month. Key experienced defender Karl Arnason should be back in the 11 after featuring in the impressive 2-2 draw against the French. Also expect star man Johan Gudmundsson to be back on the right side of midfield and they will be looking to hit the Swiss very quick on the counter, think BTTS has every chance here but although my selected bet wouldn’t have come in the previous h2h, I feel it has every chance as I expect this game to be tight with both sides more than capable of racking up a significant corner tally. Iceland managed 8 team corners against the French and managed 4 in a recent defeat to the Belgians, I’ve also picked up on the fact that Iceland games picked up significant corner tally’s during the World Cup, I would expect Switzerland to contribute the majority though as they should dominate possession and create more opportunities. I expect the Swiss to attack the flanks in this contest and Iceland will be compact and will likely tuck there full back making it difficult to break through the middle.
Morning lads still can’t get over the price on Portugal,it’s not often you will come across such a gift,had a play on Lithuania to draw but that didn’t pan out.On to today
Spain v England
Spain to win at 4/6*******
Spain to win -1 Asian handicap at 2.100****** (NAP)
I don’t fancy England’s chances much not when Henderson and Stones are out,funny how Henderson picks up a booking (not on purpose mind) (and then Van Djik’s injury suddenly reappears) (oh then Salah is ruled out of Egypts next game with a slight muscle strain) anyone getting the jist haha home win all day long.
Bosnia v Northern Ireland
Bosnia to win at 8/13*****
Bosnia to win -1 asian handicap 2.075*****
Take both -1 for a 3.35/1 double
Best of luck
On these. And Georgia win as well.

Italian Seria C side Luchese away at a Gozanna team leaking goals after promotion,they’ve conceded 13 in their 5 outings including 10 in 3 home defeats 1-3,3-4,0-3 but they’ve also potted in 4/5. Luchese have scored in 3/5 and conceded in 4/5,they won 4-2 at another struggling outfit Pistoiese. Fancy there to be goals here and over 2.5gls is odds against at 6/5 but hoping both can bet…..

Been having a bit of success with the Skybet specials on 3+ corners each half and cards (thanks cocker for pointing those out). I’ll try again today, small stakes:

10+ booking points each team in each game @ 7/1
30+ booking points in each game @ 11/1

I`m on your bookings Liam — must be in with a shout . Good luck.
Cheers cocker same to you
Also really fancy bookings in the England game…there were 6 yellows in the Croatia game (3 for England). Only 2 v the Swiss, however, 5 in the previous game vs Spain with England picking up 4 of those. Teams generally pick up a lot of yellows v Spain given their playing style and skill so hoping that trend continues:
England most booking points @ 8/11 (NAP)
40+ booking points @ evens
30+ England booking points @ 13/8
GL all today
Very similar picks for me,
England most booking points 8/11
Belarus win 4/7
Bosnia 7/10
3.6 double
England 30+ booking points @ 7/4 all @ sky.bet
*3.6/1 the treble
Morning gents,
Nations League action this evening and I suspect there could be mileage in looking at the card markets in England’s match.
SPAIN VS. ENGLAND:
The hosts have been looking more like their former selves after a stinker of a summer and could well frustrate a languid-looking England side into making a few rash challenges.
Even without a crowd present against Croatia, England didn’t manage to maintain a professional head with 3 players receiving yellows and 2 with subsequent suspensions.
With so many young faces looking to make an impact and the relative inexperience against a footballing style like Spain’s – expect to see a few ‘heads gone’ moments!
ENGLAND OVER 2.5 CARDS…11/10

Best of luck!
(Lionel – see you’ve moved onto me now with your snide comments – if you’re going to slag off folks bets then at least do it beforehand and show a bit of class.
As for chasing losses, give it a rest.
Losses – maybe yes at the moment and I’d rather it not be the case but chasing them isn’t really a fair comment? Yesterday’s late pick was put up whilst easy cover was being offered in the same way that the earlier game (which I’d stated was just an interest bet) could have been covered at 3/1 + until late on.
All well reasoned/justified and put up with plenty of time to triangulate with your own thoughts so if you don’t like them then just ignore and go with your own picks…I certainly won’t be offended.
Morning Hull, glad to see we’re on the same in all but name…..see above I picked out the 30+ England booking points with Skybet @ 13/8 …this is pretty much the same bet unless I’m being an eejit so offers cracking value?
I think the England most booking points whilst odds on has a great chance – any thoughts on that one?
GL mate
Keep up your superb contribution to site Hull 👍
Nonsense comments aimed at you, Hull. Your record and the contribution, humour and effort you bring to the site need no defence. I’ll never understand those who take shots at the people who take the time and effort to offer their (in your case, often valuable) opinions and picks.
Good response – can’t understand the logic of some people.
Liam – looks a great price as does England most bookings…best of luck and let’s hope for a non-restorative ref!
Appreciate the comments gents – maybe it’s just me being too precious…I’ve always maintained that I expect flack when the going is rough as that’s the reality of posting on ‘tinternet…hey ho.
treat the negative comments with the contempt they deserve .its all about opinions & the tips on this site put forward by hull,greg,macca,mr f kelly d and the other tipsters are neverfar away in my eyes and i,ve done ok by all, however betting is a gamble and if your instinct tells you that their tip is wrong then do your own research and follow your own instinct then if it guz tits up its your own fault,personally i think the research and tipping on this site is fust class.this not meant to be an lick post it ismy opinion on the site an the contribters to it. atb keep em cumin.Swede.
One effort from me today. Not exactly clued up on reserve football so I’ll be keeping stakes limited, but one of the Scottish Cup games does stand out a little for goals.
Half Stake:
Ayr Reserves v Albion Rovers Reserves
O3.5 Match Goals @ 4/5 (Bet365)
_____________________________
Time??
Of the kick off, @tipseebone? I think it’s 8pm. Both sides have been scoring and conceding in league action, but no idea if that will continue in the cup – it’s one for keeping stakes reduced.
Noted, thanks man.
I’ve just had a look at the bet builder for the Spain v England game. If you select Spain win and over 1 goal in the match for both teams combined you can get get evens (2.00)
Am I being thick? I did have a few beers at the weekend?
Just realised I’m being thick. Spain would have to win as long as it’s a higher score than 1-0. Apologies
Viborg reserves
Coventry u23s
Over 3.5mgs double 2/1

Belarus vs Moldova – Belarus -2 corner handicap 6/5 Paddypower
Bosnia’s last three games have produced multi corner (first half corner multiplied by second half corner) values of 42, 30 and 78. Northern Ireland’s have produced 30, 3 and 72. The significant value here is the 72 though as this was the initial match played between Bosnia and NI in the Nations League.
When Belarus met Moldova away they won the corner contest 4-7. They should win the corner match bet again tonight with home advantage and will probably cover their set handicap as well.
SIXTEEN of San Marino’s previous matches have exceeded 8 match corners. The first encounter between them and Luxembourg in the Nations League produced 10 match corners. The 4/6 offered is an excellent price considering this.
Good luck all
Great research @bullseye be having a bit of the 4/6 seems like a great shout. We shall see 🤞
Yeah with Luxembourg having home advantage as well it looks a gift. Good luck Newts.
Lol that significant value should read 78… 13 first * 6 second = 78
There’s the Luxembourg one in @bullseye 4/6 great tipping Sir
Cheers Newts, happy you got on mate.
Done a bet on 20 + b.p.each team Spain v England 11/4 with sky
If you scroll down to bookings the price is 5/2 if you go to each team total bookings it is 11/4. unless i am missing something that is two different prices for the same bet.
Also on 40 + booking points 11/10
Spain first team carded 6/4 has to be in with a shout. ( it should be 1/1 at best )

Well done mate, blimey the hosts have doubled there goal tally for the season against the league leaders
Couldn’t believe it when hosts went 2-0 up but was hoping away side would need to go for it & score at least 2 to get something from game
Another bet i have taken for tonight
Luxembourg to score a penalty at 3/1.
Best of luck
Having a wee bit builder at the aforementioned Gozzano v Lucchese. As I said I fancy both too score and I’m taking Lucchese too win either half but I spotted that 4/5 of the home sides games have seen most goals in the 2nd half but what stuck out the most was the fact they’ve conceded 10 of their 13 goals against in the 2nd half of matches. While the away sides stats aren’t as impressive they have had 2/5 2nd half most goals, with 2 tied and 1 first half most goals. So….
Both teams to score
Lucchese to win either half
Most goals 2nd half
11/2
I see Hull is going for a penalty in the England game.
Hills are offering bet a tenner on the England game and get a free tenner bet — an offer i can`t refuse . 3/1 pen taken.
Will be on the WH special again Cocker, lost initial tenner but got £92+ off free bet on Saturday…Czech v Slovakia 4 corners & 20+ BP’s each team and 2+ gls at Scunnythorpe, Oxford & Fleetwood. Will wait on team news before deciding
Good luck alves

Free fiver Monday already and on a ‘Friday’, 9 days aff work tae 😂
Looking through RABs to use free bet spied 14/1 for the usual combo in the RAB insurance. 1 selection wrong get stake back. Combo is only 11/1 in normal RAB section.
Spain v England – RAB Insurance
BTTS, 4 corners & 20+ BP’s each team 14/1
Switzerland to score 2+ vs Iceland at 10/11
Iceland conceded 2+ in 9/10 matches. Switzerland stuck 6 past them last time. 4-4 and 2-0 Swiss in the other matches. BTTS and Overs options here too.
Guys like Kari Arnason coming back I don’t actually see as a good thing. Fantastic defender in time but lacking in pace now.
Mine is not a stats based bet like yours, just my interpretation of how I expect the game to pan out. Arnason certainly not the quickest but is a leader + organiser. The Swiss been shortening throughout the day and will be well backed tonight.
I wish you the best of luck pal!
Late getting on tonight so didn’t have time to post this, just kicked off;
Saudi Arabia v Iraq
Over 2.5 mgls
5/4
goals are expected here. last time out (February) saw Iraq win 4-1 at home. Today the money is mostly on the Saudis to win. Should be an open game this with both sides having opportunities to score. Bear in mind it’s a friendly so if you follow please back with sensible stakes, but i’m quite confident the game will see at least 3 goals.

England v Spain game was a cracker though!
nice arras dc……… galdo………….
2-1 and a missed penalty at Half Time in Scotland. Then it finished 2-1 😐 Frustrating, one goal shy. England’s performance is a nice consolation though!
Noticed that Leroy; I’ve been let down recently in the Scottish reserves with lack of goals in some games.. rarity that there’s none in the 2nd half. Ladbrokes didn’t have them and my Betway account is frozen after I withdrew a reasonable sum at weekend and I tried increasing my deposit limit..!!!they said it’s under review…sods
Spain let me down for my double,fancy that eh England winning,proves one thing for me we don’t need Hendo and Dier playing together.Hull you were unlucky not to get that penalty up mate,scandalous.
Well done all winners to many to mention.
Shame on you English boys backing against your own side. I’d never do that!
