It's been 58 years since Wales participated at a World Cup, now they're on the brink og qualifying for Qatar 2022 but they could barely have a more motivated team standing in their way.
Ukraine were excellent at Hampden on Wednesday night turning in a performance that was as much about precision at it was about passion.
Fears that they would be rusty, with several members of the squad missing out on competititve football since Russia's invasion of their country, were unfounded as they outclassed the Scots at a packed Hampden Park. Zinchenko and Yarmalenko were excellent going forward and this experienced Ukrainian squad has the quality to hurt Wales in Cardiff tonight.
The bookies can barely split the sides when it comes to qualifying with Wales to 19/20 and the visitors at 4/5. Over the 90 minutes Ukraine are 13/8 with the Welsh at 15/8.
Wales manager Rob Page has a fully fit squad to choose from and the main danger will of course be 5-time Champions League winner Gareth Bale. One thing missing from Bale's glittering career is an appearance the World Cup finals and he's 15/8 to lead the way for the Welsh by adding to his 38 international goals tonight.
Both teams have scored in 10 of Ukraine's last 13 full internationals (plus their three warm-up friendlies against club sides). It's a similar story for Wales with seven of their last nine seing both sides find the net. BTTS is even money and in game where there's little to choose between the sides it could be the best bet. Over 2.5 Goals also appeals at a generous looking 7/5.
This week's Nations League games have already seen Croatia, France, Republic of Ireland and England beaten against the odds so tread carefully.
If you're looking for a potential upset today then Czech Republic (16/5) at home to Spain, Switzerland (15/4) at Portugal and Norway (2/1) away to neighbours Sweden will no doubt be on your list.
One team that will be in Qatar this winter are North Macedonia and they should win comfortably in Gibraltar. They're as short as 1/10 to win but with a little bit of imagination we can get almoist even money by taking them to be winning at half-time and full-time as well as Over 2.5 goals in the game.

cocker? i like this bet but is there any reasoning behind it or is it just a bet u do on most games? decent odds to be fair
It`s a bet I do quite a lot , a header scored comes in often in international and English championship games . Both teams to net one is a longshot and worth a small punt imo .
Afternoon gents,
Nation League playoff final for me this afternoon…
GRIMSBY VS. SOLIHULL MOORS (3.00pm)
Both sides well capable of finding the net so can’t see it being goaless – with the possibility of extra time and penalties, I don’t wonder if a 90 minute score draw could be the best angle here?
Lower stakes with higher odds and am taking on the following:

🔘Bet: Georgia over 1.5 team cards/N. Macedonia over 1.5 team goals: 9/10 (PaddyPower)
💰NAP ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Georgia are my go to team when it comes to cards. They are serial offenders; absolute lunatics! Georgia have received 2+ cards in each of their last 14 internationals. An incredible record of indiscipline. They even managed to get 2 cards a few days ago at home to Gibraltar even though they won 4-0 and had 67% possession.
In their last 14 games they’ve had: 2,3,3,2,3,6,3,3,2,3,2,2,3,2 cards. So I was pleased when I saw PaddyPower offering 4/7 for them to get 2 or more seeing as they’re 1/4 and 1/3 elsewhere. PaddyPower are offering 15/8 for them to get 3+ cards which I wouldn’t put anyone off seeing as that’s landed 8/14 games mentioned. Nearly 2/1 for something with a 58% success rate is generous.
Finally, tonight’s referee is Italy’s Fabio Maresca who isn’t shy of dishing out a few cards. He averaged 5.1 cards in his 16 Serie A games this season.
4/7 is too short for me personally so I’ve added in North Macedonia to score 2 or more against hapless part timers Gibraltar to make a nice looking double a shade under evens.
Gibraltar find themselves in a tough group and got dispatched 4-0 recently by Georgia. In fact, in meaningful competitions against better opposition, Gibraltar have conceded: 3,6,6,3,5,3,3,7,4,3,6,6,3,4,6,2,3,1. The only time in 18 games where they didn’t concede 2+ was against Mick McCarthy’s Ireland in 2019. Enough said about that.
North Macedonia are a good team (as Italy found out in their World Cup qualifier) and shouldn’t be in league C of the nations league. N. Mac finished 2nd in their recent World Cup qualifying group and should have way too much for Gibraltar. They should score 2 minimum.
Good luck all 👍🏻
🏴 WALES V UKRAINE 🇺🇦
BTTS 21-20 (HILLS)
Ukraine expended a load of built up adrenalin and energy in Scotland and will find it hard to replicate that intensity.

Night Owl – U S of A 🇺🇲
LONG ISLAND ROUGH RIDERS VS. NEW JERSEY COPA (9.30pm)
The hosts may well sound like one of the ‘underground’ clubs that poor old Craneguy belongs to but the hosts are off to a flyer winning each of their opening 3 and scoring 14 team goals (4-5-5) in the process!
Not too shabby and worth a tickle at this price for 4 or more:

Costa Rica v Martinique

CONCACAF Nations League
Martinique to score 13-8 (HILLS)
Costa Rica should win comfortably but have a world cup qualifier next week v new Zealand and are resting players like the did away to Panama in their first game, losing 2-0.
Martinique are poor but slowly improving and often net a consolation against teams of similar standing to Costa Rica.
They scored against Canada, Honduras, USA, Mexico and Trinidad in the last 2 years and the 2021 gold cup results were
Martinique 1 Canada 4
Martinique 1 USA 6
Martinique 1 Haiti 2.
Prediction Costa Rica btts and win

🔘N. Mac/Georgia double ❌
The peril of card betting – lots of goals for one team. Georgia somehow blow Bulgaria away to score 5 for the first time since they battered Latvia in 2017.
The stats were there, they just didn’t deliver. They scored 5 goals, you’d think they’d have the decency to at least take their shirts off for 2. 😂
Well done any winners; it’s tough out there at the minute. When do the nations league games end?! 🥴
Georgia visit N. Macedonia on Thursday and that looks like a great occasion for cards.
Bulgaria got blown away, lost their coach and are due to visit Gibraltar – a prime opportunity for the hosts!
