Tonight's the night for Steve Clarke's Scotland. A win in Moldova and a World Cup play-off is guaranteed. Simple right?
Yes, according to the bookies who rate the Scots as 1/5 chances to win in Chișinău. But that price would be considered short for even the most ardent member of the Tartan Army. The Moldovans prop up Group F, their only point coming at home to the Faroes, and Scotland huffed and puffed to a 1-0 win when the sides met at Hampden in September.
Goalscorer that night was Lyndon Dykes, but crucially the QPR striker is suspended alongside Ryan Christie, diminishing Scotland's goalscoring options. Moldova shipped four to both Denmark and Israel at home, as well as eight in Copenhagen but with so much at stake tonight things could be a bit tighter.
Under 2.5 Goals is even money and it would be un-Steve-Clarke-like for Scotland to go chasing after goals if they're the necessary goal or two ahead going in to the final stages of the match.
England usually have top spot sewn up by this stage of qualification but there's still a little bit of work to be done by Gareth Southgate's men and they should get over the line at Wembley tonight. Albania are a much-improved side and it's credit to them that they can still mathematically finish the group in top spot but more realistic is a second place finish however they'd really need to win tonight.
But the bookies make them 25/1 no-hopers and anything other than a win for the Three Lions would send shockwaves round world football. An England win to nil is just 4/9 but a BetBuilder of England to score more than one goal and Albania not to score is more backable at 4/5 with Bet365.
Germany (9-0), Russia (6-0) and Croatia (7-1) all rattled in goals last night and Poland and Hungary should rack up a few against Andorra and San Marino respectively. Backing the Poles to score Over 2.5 coupled with the Hungarians to score Over 3.5 pays over 11/10 at Bet365.

Liechtenstein u21 vs Iceland u21 over 3.5mgs
Austria u21 over 1.5tgs
Belgium u21 over 1.5tgs
The price on this was bigger than I thought it would be so happy to just take a nap today. Liechtenstein concede goals for fun regardless of opponent, seeing 34 goals conceded in their last 5 with no reply, Austria took 6 off Azerbaijan in the reverse fixture in September without their opponents even having a shot on target and Belgium took 3 off Turkey in the reverse in September away from home and have a good record for goals against better teams than Turkey.
Very tempted to have a look at Austria team goals over 2.5 and 3.5 at 5/4 and 11/4 for a bit of extra interest as reckon they should be far too good for Azerbaijan again.
Good luck all 🤞
WTF happened to Iceland?!! 3 goals in half an hour, then nothing! :-(
Was my thoughts as well, slipped a few sedatives at HT it feels like.
Will have a few smaller stakes on Austria over 2.5tgs and 3.5 tgs instead now.
Austria u21 over 2.5tgs @ 1/1 (bet365) nb
Over 3.5tgs @ 5/2 (bet365)
Going to try and do something a little different today.
Use whatever stake feels comfortable, I will be starting at £10 and betting to get up to around £100 if possible.
Melbourne South v Melbourne City
8.30am
Over 1.5 FHGS – 1/1
FFA cup action this morning and Melbourne city are in action away to south Melbourne. Don’t know anything about the home side other than they finished bottom half in their league and even tho city are shorn of a few players on international duty (especially Jamie mcclaren) their team is still strong enough that I expect them to win and by a couple of goals.
South Melbourne v Melbourne city
City to score in bh

EVENS bet 365 NB
Nap picked out for the internationals later but I’m waiting to see the lineups before posting.
South Melbourne FC have long been one of the best funded and well supported sides in Victoria (along with Bentleigh Greens). They have more supporters than most of the A-League sides (no joke!). They were the giants of the old NSL (National Soccer League), which was the premiere competition here before the A-League. And were the club where Ange Postecoglou first made his name as a coach. It’s all a bit political as to why they haven’t been in the A-League, but they’re a decent side who will relish trying to punish Melbourne City.
I honestly think the quality of the A-League has long since surpassed what South Melbourne FC have in their ranks, but I still wouldn’t be surprised if they gave a weakened City side, a bit of a test. City should logically still have too much quality, and I’d say your tips are on the money, as per usual, Sean.
Cheers obi great to have your local knowledge as usual 👍🏻

World Cup qualifier card bet:
🔘 Moldova and Israel 2+ Cards each (1.33/1 Skybet) 2.5 points.
2 teams not shy of a card, especially recently.
Moldova have hit 4,3,2,1,2,5,2 and show no sign of easing off even though they’ve had several ‘dead rubbers’ recently.
Israel have hit: 3,4,3,2,1,2 in recent qualifiers and in a must win game I think they’ll get 2 more here.
Good luck all

Good Afternoon Guys,
Been pondering all day whether to post this, but today I am on
Moldova Double chance @ 3/1 with Skybet.
I know it won’t be popular with most, but a point tonight may be all Scotland need
if the result goes right in the Austria game. Don’t think it will be as easy for Scotland
as the 1/5 price tag and nerves might kick in if it’s still a tight game going into the 2nd
half. Also will depend if Moldova have thrown in the towel in the group or if they want
to try and overhaul the Faroes.
Good Luck with all bets tonight!!!
Your right. It won’t be easy for Scotland. The Moldovans have pride to play for and surely want to finish above the Faroes. Scotland are never pretty to watch and we are definitely going to have to dig in tonight to get a result. It would be just typical Scotland to put us through the grinder for 90 minutes.
Evening all,
3:0 correct score wins for Poland 🇵🇱 Denmark 🇩🇰England 🇬🇧 and Hungary🇭🇺
