PORTUGAL crashed to defeat against Croatia in their second warm-up game for Euro 2024 so they will be desperate to bounce back against the Republic of Ireland tonight in their final run-out before heading to Germany.
Roberto Martinez's side breezed through qualifying by winning every game but had an easy group and faced a step up in class against the Croatians.
They were picked off by the World Cup semi-finalists on home soil in a 2-1 loss that brought up one of Saturday's super singles and left Martinez with plenty of questions to answer.
The Irish are unlikely to ask the same kind of questions as Croatia tonight but head to Portugal on a high after beating Hungary 2-1 in Dublin last week.

Portugal vs Republic of Ireland Top Betting Tips
The time for experimentation is over and I'd imagine Martinez will start with the side he's likely to field in the Euros opener against the Czechs.
It will be interesting to see if Cristiano Ronaldo starts after he was left on the bench throughout against Croatia. I'd imagine he'll get an outing before the finals and the 39-year-old is just 8/13 for anytime scorer with Bet365.
That's a terrible price for punters but Milan winger Rafael Leao offers more value at 8/5 having been given a half in each of the last two games.
Portugal have conceded in their last four games but it's hard to see the Irish creating a lot of chances away from home. That makes a Portugal win to nil worth a look at evens.
Moldova vs Ukraine Top Tips
Ukraine are the other Euro 2024 finalists in friendly action tonight and they finish their preparations with a friendly against Moldova in Chisinau.
Unlike most of the other teams in action at the finals, the Ukrainians have opted for three warm-up games with this clash coming after a draw with Germany and a loss to Poland.
Moldova aren't on the same level as those sides and the home side are 7/1 outsiders today. Their last friendly was a 3-2 win over Cyprus so over 2.5 goals looks decent here at 19/20.
The loss to Poland only came on Friday so I'd imagine Ukraine will make a few changes. Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk only got the last 20 minutes against the Poles so should start here and looks good value at 13/5 for a goal.
Northern Ireland v Andorra Top Tips
Northern Ireland ruined one of my Saturday super singles inside a couple of minutes by grabbing a shock lead against Spain but that merely sparked La Rioja to life and they dished out a 5-1 beating.
They're still in Spain tonight and Michael O'Neill's men face an Andorra side that lost 5-0 to Luis de la Fuente's men in their last friendly.
That was the first heavy loss the minnows had suffered in a while, conceding just five goals across their previous four games with Bolivia, South Africa, Israel and Belarus.
That makes me think Northern Ireland won't score a lot of goals tonight and a win for the Irish with under three goals pays 6/4 in a bet builder.
Cucu scored Andorra's goal in their friendly draw with South Africa and has started most of their games up front. He's down as his passport name of Ricard Fernadez at Bet365 and they price him at 12/5 just to have a shot on target.

CRICKET TIP
Canada v Pakistan 15:30
Nicholas Kirton o10.5 runs 5/6
We’ve seen some very low totals this tournament so far but this line is far too low – Kirton has been exceptional in the past 2 games and seems very comfortable on these tracks. Pakistan have a good bowling line up but if India had more sensible shot selection Sunday they’d have put the game to bed in the 1st innings.
Kirton is a very good player, in form, and has an average of 16, even a relatively poor score of 11 sees this bet win so I’m taking the line on.
Goodluck all :)
Which bookie?
William Hill mate sorry should have said :)
So annoying – same as Lorcan Tucker last week another silly run out costing us – sorry to anyone who backed!

South Korea have won the last four H2Hs without conceding. They led at the break in all of those four H2Hs. None of the last four h2Hs have seen more than three match goals.
Outside of the Asian Cup, SK have kept eight clean sheets in their last nine games. Good luck if you follow.

Looking at euro bets:
Paddy: top goalscorer 10 pound bet, you get 1 pound free bet for every sot and goal, thinking mbappe, kane, maybe foden, any inspiration?
Betfair: bet 10 on team to win and free pound bets for group stage goals they score, Portugal seem have easiest group and good chance but may stick with France!
Boylesports: free 5 bet each time your team wins if you bet on them to win, France?
Input appreciated! Obviously ignoring the Engalnd to win for obvious reasons 🤣👍 also any other offers people have spotted? Tia and bol!

World Cup CONCACAF Qualifiers
Bahamas to score 10-11 (BETWAY) NAP/NB DOUBLE STAKE 🇧🇸 ⚽
all eggs in this one basket 🧺.
BTTS and overs is only 5-4 which is too small a margin in price to bother with.
World ranked 148 and 202 you can safely say these 2 won’t be qualifying for the finals themselves.
St Kitts at 1-7 to win says it all, Bahamas are shit and always have been.
Bahamas though have learned to be shit and still score as they have in their last 7 games and in their last 4 away games.
St Kitts have conceded in 19 of last 22 games also so defence ain’t their strongest suit.
Both teams are on zero points and will need a boost tonight as the next batch of qualifiers are not until next June believe it or not 🚫.
Prediction st Kitts win and BTTS.
Let’s rock and roll Elvis
Chile v Paraguay 01:00
40+ booking points 10/11 Sky
50+ booking points 7/4 Sky
There’s been at least four cards shown in the last seven H2Hs and three of the last four matches between the two sides has seen six red cards! In last year’s ’friendly’, five yellows and two reds were shown. Let’s hope the trend continues. GL.
Red card ended Bahamas hope of a goal, ended 1-0.
Well done any winners today……
