IT'S a big night for Northern Ireland and an even bigger one for Scotland as both countries attempt to qualify for Euro 2020.
The Irish have at least a 50-50 chance at home to Slovakia but Scotland have been written off by bookies for their trip to face a star-studded Serbia.
My head says Serbia but Steve Clarke is working his magic and Scotland are unbeaten is eight so I can't rule us out completely.
However, if we are to make out first finals for what will be 23 years when the delayed tournament takes place every player will have to be at their very best from David Marshall in goals to Lyndon Dykes up top.
There's so much at stake for Scotland and the players know it so can they handle the pressure? A generation of fans have never seen us at a major finals and on top of that some games will be played at Hampden.
And of course it will be England vs Scotland at Wembley in June if we make it through and surely even the English would rather play us than Serbia.
I've posted predictions on a separate thread and check out Kevin Mac's Serbia vs Scotland match preview.
Northern Ireland vs Slovakia has been dealt with by SlipsTips and the other two finals are Georgia vs North Macedonia and Hungary vs Iceland.
Elsewhere there are a few friendlies including England vs Republic of Ireland and Wales vs USA but for me all eyes are on Belgrade.
The Masters also starts on Thursday and I posted my tips on Wednesday morning.
Well done to all the winners on Wednesday night and good luck with your bets on Thursday.

Just the 1 bet for me today from the Serbia v Scotland game. So much at stake I can’t see it being a high quality affair, and I can see a low scorer. The Serbs should have more of the game so I fancy them to pound us on the corner count (we’ve lost our last 4 away games 8-0, 9-8, 5-1 and 14-0 and our most recent game 12-1) and high stakes usually means high tempers so I’m going for a goals/cards/corners build your odds using my 2.5 method that’s had a bit of success in the past.

Georgia v Macedonia (5:00pm)
I can see this one being a feisty affair, the last two times these sides met it has finished 1-1 both times and there has also been a red card in both matches. Looking at recent form both sides come in to this match having not lost in there last 5. Georgia’s last 5 have seen 3 games BTTS, while Macedonia’s last 5 have all finished BTTS. I think this game could go the distance but I expect both teams to score and it is a good price from the bookies.
My NB has a good chance on landing as well. I feel there will be cards in this and looking at Georgia’s last 5 they have picked up 2-3-4-3-2 cards in those games. I can see a lot of cards in this and the best odds are on Georgia cards.
Both Teams to Score – 5/4 (NAP)
30+ Georgia booking points – 11/8 (NB)

Georgia 🇬🇪 v Macedonia 🇲🇰
60+ booking points 5/4 (NAP) (Sky)
Huge opportunity for these two relative minnows to reach a major championship finals for the first time. Played each other twice in the last couple of months (Nations League) and there were 9 yellows and 2 reds over the two games. Anthony Taylor in charge and he tends to be pretty reliable when doing international games.
Penalty to be awarded 2/1
Taylor has given 10 pens this season in 9 games. Also both the recent games between these sides saw a pen given in each.
Visar Musliu to be carded 2/1
Centre half with 7 yellows and 2 reds to his name in his last 11 outings for Macedonia including a yellow and a red against Georgia two months ago.
Stole Dimitrievski to be carded 6/1
Macedonian keeper got sent off against Georgia last month and also has four bookings in the 90th min or later for club and country in the past 3 months, 3 of which came with his team a goal up which I can only assume suggest he’s prone to time wasting. If Macedonia have their noses in front late on keep an eye out for him
today
scotland 21s btts & overs 6/5
Three extra bets to add to my other Masters bets
Masters
John Augenstein top amateur 4/1 bet365
The Vanderbilt senior is a three-time All-American who was freshman of the year and player of the year, he missed the cut in the US Open at Winged Foot but has since got back to playing the golf he can play, his short game is outstanding and he has been concentrating on his putting in the build up to Augusta, Augenstein hits the ball high and carries it long which should be more suited to Augusta than Winged Foot and with his short game as good as it is he looks a good bet as top amateur at big odds of 4/1,
Nerves shouldn’t be as bad on his Masters debut with no crowds and he has played six rounds at Augusta before,
Although he was runner-up to Andy Ogletree at the 2019 U.S. Amateur at Pinehurst, Augenstein is the better golfer, and in my opinion has the better career going forward and I can see him taking care of his five rivals here

Both to score in All 4 Euro Qualifiers matches @24/1
This will be bit difficult but very much possible!
Can’t find a bookie willing to offer me odds on Bryson DeChambeau to Eagle the par 4 3rd hole, it looks perfect at approx 350 yards for Bryson to have a putt for Eagle, only four rounds so only 4 chances and you have to think he will have 2 chances at a putt, maybe 3, but I can only get 3/1 on Bryson to get an Eagle at any hole in the first round
Hi John b,

Scotland have actually been in decent form recently and without winning any plaudits for style are unbeaten in their last 8. Since beating the mighty Luxembourg 3-2 Serbia have only won once – after extra time to get to this play off. I think the bookies have got it all wrong and see this as a 50/50 so am letting my heart rule my head and will be splitting my stake across these:
Scotland to win 17/4
Scotland in extra time 18/1
Scotland on penalties 11/1
Changed my mind Hills have Scotland to qualify @ 12/5 – I’ll just put my full stake on rhat
going for milinkovic savic outside the box 9/1 ladbrokes
also gonna do griffiths outside the box 40/1, small stakes but has to be worth a punt if they need a goal

Cheers, it’s long overdue. Thought we were superb tonight and loads of credit to Steve Clarke who has made us so hard to beat.
And thanks Lyndon Dykes for choosing Scotland ahead of Australia. Led the line brilliantly.
Well done Scotland thoroughly deserved.That means 3 points for England😂😂😂😂
No chance – I can’t see you getting 3 draws. You forgotten Leigh Griffiths. Play Pickford and we’ll be fine.
