JAPAN V AUSTRALIA ( 11:30 K/O )
Japan are 4-1-1 so far in their World Cup Qualification Group, seven points ahead of Australia at 1-3-1. Those stats put Japan 1st in the Group and Australia third. It must be said the Aussies have one game in hand though. The teams played out a 1-1 draw in Australia.
For me Japan is the better side. With the likes of Inter’s Nagatomo, Sakai of Stuttgart and Uchida of Schalke 04 at the back they are solid. Player for player Australia can’t match that. I think this will be a very tough trip for Australia.
The home win is priced at 9/10 ( 1.90 ) with Bet365. I think the market is looking to much at Australia’s past and too little at Japans very strong first eleven. Good for us, those odds are excellent.
- JAPAN WIN @ 9/10 (1.90) BET365
KAZAKHSTAN V BULGARIA ( 3:00 K/O )
For this game Kazakhstan will play boys from the local league only, with some players with double international passports, like russians and germans. Islamhan who is 20 years old will be starter, he plays for Kuban but hasn't played in the first team this season.
This game wont be played at the new stadium in the capital, but at the old Celtral Stadium, capacity of 23 000.
Bulgaria come here after a prestige win over Japan, winning 0-2 after great tactical and physical efforts. I see rotations for this game, I expect Plamen Iliev to be in goal, he is young and leaked goals this season for his club levski, so Bulgaria will probably concede. Also Alexander Aleksandrov and Georgi Terziev will join forces for the first time in the backline, they are young and inexperienced at this level.
Bulgaria are likely to include Bojinov who is strong motivated to resign his career, plus Micanski, Gargorov and Spas Delev, all of them strong motivated to fight for a first team place in the WC qualifies.
- YES to both teams to score @ 11/10 ( 2.10 ) BET365
MEXICO u20 V PORTUGAL u20 ( 4:30 K/O )
This should be a cracking match in the Toulon Tournament with the winners likely to progress along with Brazil.
Both these two sides have already met Brazil, and both have come out with defeats. Portugal going down 2-0, and Mexico 1-0.
Mexico are the current holders of this tournament, and won't be letting it go without a fight.
Both these sides have scored 2 goals, Mexico beating Nigeria 2-0, while Portugal kicked off with a 2-0 win over Belgium.
Both have some great young talent, and i expect them to shine in what is a must win game !

JAPAN 1 – 1 AUSTRALIA
An Aussie fluke and a Jap penalty.

On a roll :) three 9/4 winners in a row! I said 0-0 or 1-1 aswell, was thinking of putting a few quid also on 0-0 and 1-1 correct score but decided against it and just went with the draw
You seem to be more lucky then me at the moment, Japan hit the bar twice, then the Aussies had a complete fluke from what looked like a cross going straight into the net, then every player behind the ball as Japan pushed, and managed to get the penalty.

JAPAN 1 – 1 AUSTRALIA Nice one Milesey Just won £100 on bts
I didn’t tip both teams to score in this game ha ha ha, people need to read the threads more hahaha, instead of just whacking money on anything, but it’s good when it pays off i guess ;) ;)
Milesey
Haha. I was only going off the fact that Japan only needed a point to ensure they qualify so they didn’t need to go for the win. And the 0-0 and 1-1 score line was because it was obviously going to be a tight game, and looking at bet365 odds for over and under 2.5 goals said alot. In the close season with not much to bet on football wise I’m choosing games carefully! Didn’t put a bet on at all yesterday. Quality rather then quantity!

Poland v Liechtenstein, Tuesday 20:00
Match Odds: Poland 1.11, Liechtenstein 36.0, The Draw 12.5
Given the minuscule population of the Principality of Liechtenstein, they deserve credit at least for being the best-ranked team of Europe’s true minnows. This is mainly because – although they lose nearly every game to nil similarly to the likes of Andorra – Liechtenstein tend to ship goals in ones and twos, only getting steamrollered by Europe’s finest. Meanwhile Poland’s form has been indifferent, losing three games in four before a routine 5-0 win over San Marino in March. Given the closeness in proximity to their qualifier against Moldova, which is three days later, the temptation to rest their big guns will be there too. Three of Liechtenstein’s last five defeats came by a 0-2 margin.
Recommended Bet: Back Poland to win 2-0 @ 7.2

ROMANIA V TRINIDAD TOBAGO
Romania are still a contender for Brazil 2014, but have shaken up their squad dramatically before this game. They lost 4-0 away to the Netherlands in March and now it’s time to let some new talent show coach Piturca what they can do. Actually this squad contains lots of new faces, and absolutely none from Steaua Bucuresti (surprisingly).
The domestic league players are complimented by Fullback Razvan Rat (New Signing of West Ham), Midfielder Alexandru Maxim of VFB Stuttgart, West Bromwich Albion defender Gabriel Tamas (Squad player), AS Roma goalkeeper Bogdan Lobont (Reserve Keeper), midfielder Adrian Stoian of Italian Serie A club Chievo, the talented right winger Gabriel Andrei Torje, on loan at Granada and FC Schalke striker Andrei Marica. That’s a pretty decent squad, by all means!
Romania normally do well in home in friendlies, they seem to put some pride in it! Recently Australia were sent back home 3-2, and in November they got a solid 2-1 win against the up and coming Belgiums.
Trinidad Tobago are not going to Brazil, so this can only be viewed as a warm up to the CONCACAF Gold Cup. The visitors have trained in London before flying out to Romania, so they shouldn’t suffer any jet lag or other travel related issues!
The side will miss powerful striker Jones of Stoke and the 34 year old Dedender Edwards of Ipswich. On a bright note, the talented Justin Hoyte of M’Boro who has youth games for England has opted in for Senior football for the Soca Warriors. His talent will be needed as this side is 0-1-2 in their three last friendlies away from home. To make matters worse; that wasn’t against very good oppostion overall.
ROMANIA V TRINIDAD TOBAGO BETTING TIPS
Even if Romania have announced a relatively experimental squad, and possibly field an experimental eleven here they should be head and shoulders above the visitors whose players come from a poor domestic league, coupled with the Kazak league, the Thai league and other lower quality leagues. Hoyte is a nice addition, but that advantage is overturned by Jones and Edwards missing out. The home side will have to take the game to Trinidad and Tobago, I think they have enough in this squad to do so, and I think Romania have enough in them to win this game with two goals or more.
Romania -1.5 at Bet365 is priced at 1.925 (93/100). I like it, and I am on it!

CROATIA V SCOTLAND
Croatia host Scotland in Zagrab as they try and steal a march on group rivals Belgium in Group A.
Croatia are on a great run of form as they look to cement their claims to a winners spot on Group A. Since bowing out of Euro 2012 at the group stages Croatia are unbeaten in 7 and altogether are on a run of 6 wins, draw and 1 defeat. Croatia contain pretty much the same squad from the last finals but have switched a few personnel around. Out goes the hopelessly out of form Everton striker Nikola Jelavic. Croatia have supreme back up in the shape of Mandzukic, Olic and Da Silva. In World Cup qualifying Group A Croatia sit joint top with 5 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats. Belgium have the same record and this group looks like going down to the wire. The group is relatively tough too with no minnow, but Croatia have made light work of Wales and Macedonia twice and Scotland.
Scotland seem to be declining at an alarming rate and even the appointment of legendary player Gordon Strachan has had little effect. The dearth of quality for Scotland has been in evidence for years and its been a long time since they could field a side capable of picking up points. Scotland’s overall form since New Year 2012 is not too bad with 3 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats. Scotland are looking to Blackburn striker Jordan Rhodes for their main strike threat. He is decent at that level but not a striker to be feared at international level. I think Strachan will try and build from the back and get the side back on an even keel. This qualifying has gone now but they do need to try and finish as high as possible to avoid falling into the lower pots for future draws. In this qualifying section Scotland have been awful and sit bottom with 0 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats. It will be difficult for the Scots to climb the table as they are probably the worst side in the group.
CROATIA V SCOTLAND: BETTING TIPS
This should be a straight forward win for Croatia in a match that is very one sides. With a huge gap of 14 points after only 6 games this is a real top v bottom clash. My only worry is Scotland can stifle Croatia and may park the bus at the back. Croatia though are quality through and through and are used to having to go at teams. With Luka Modric pulling all the strings and with quality up front Croatia should be able to breach the back line of the Scots. I take Croatia -1 at 1.60 (bet365) in Asian Handicap. We get stakes returned on a 1 goal win and collect on any other victory.

CZECH REPUBLIC V ITALY
Czech Republic welcome Italy to Prague for this intriguing Group B qualifier of World Cup qualifying.
Czech Republic are in decent form going into this vital World Cup Qualifier. Since losing to Portugal in second round of Euro 2012 Czech Republic have won 4, drawn 3 and lost 2. With 11 goals scored and 5 conceded (with 5 clean sheets too) The Czechs have played some decent opposition in that time too so the form line is fairly strong. Only Malta would be classed a walkover in those games. The Czech Republic have blooded a lot of new players this year after a lot of the old guard left the side. Indeed only keeper Petr Cech, Tomas Rosicky. Tomas Hubschmann and Jaroslav Plasil have over 50 caps. Among the new caps there are a few decent prospects. Defender Theodor Gabre-Selassie was their best player at the Euros, Matej Vydra looks class and opened his international account recently. Striker David Lafata is hardly a youngster but the lightly capped Sparta Prague man has an excellent striker rate and is in top form at the moment. Czech Republic sit in 3rd position in Group B with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss.
Italy have been in OK form themselves since grabbing the runners up spot in Euro 2012. 5 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats. The run is not that strong when you look into the opposition during that run. Italy lost to France and England, when technically superior to both sides. Their wins were over Malta (twice), San Marino and Armenia so the current playing form of the side is hard to judge. In that run of games Italy have scored 21 and conceded 11 which is unlike the Italy sides we know. Indeed in 10 games Italy only managed clean sheets against Malta and San Marino which suggests some uncertainty at the back. Italy like the Czechs are trying new players and systems, up front they are likely to go with the new Milan duo of El Sharaawy and Balotelli. With the ageless Pirlo in behind to keep the side ticking over Italy look good going forward. Italy top Group B with 4 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats.
CZECH REPUBLIC V ITALY: BETTING TIPS
Its a really hard game to call this one as both sides are going through a few changes. Both sides are better attacking than defending thats for sure so we take the Over 2.5 goals at 2.30 (bet365) Italy are very shaky at the back at the moment and I think both sides are capable of scoring here for sure. Czech’s must take a win here if they want to progress in the qualifying.

ARMENIA V MALTA
Armenia look to grab a double win over minnows Malta in the quest for points in this bottom of the table clash in Yerevan.
Armenia seem to be improving all the time, their results are mixed but there is encouragement. Since New Year 2012 Armenia have 4 wins, 1 draw and 6 defeats. With 14 goals scored and 17 conceded they are starting to compete in games against the big boys. Armenia have some decent young players now too and in midfield they have a very creative centre. Henrikh Mkhitaryan is a very exciting attacking midfielder and is attracting the eyes of several top level clubs across Europe. At Shaktar Donestk now he is pulling the strings for them and the national side. Naturalised Brazilian Marcos Pizzelli has spent his entire career in Eastern Europe and looks quality for Armenia too. Upfront the Armenians have several options with three decent strikers, all with decent strike rates. In Group B Armenia have struggled results wise but have given good accountof themselves in each game. Sitting in 5th with a game in hand with 1 win, 0 draw and 3 defeats they can go level with Denmark with a win here.
Malta have improved their game marginally and are now one of the better sides out of the really small teams. They have shown their mettle with wins over several sides around them at the bottom of the FIFA rankings. However in game against anyone of note they are still struggling. Malta have several decent players but have far too many poor ones. Malta’s recent form looks decent with 4 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats. But if you look into the statistics you see wins over Liechtenstein (twice) San Marino and Luxembourg. A draw against Northern Ireland is not too bad but they were hammered by Bulgaria and Czech Republic. Italy beat them twice but never really got going in either game and seemed happy to take 2-0 wins twice. Malta sit bottom of Group B with 5 losses from 5 with 1 goal scored and 14 conceded.
ARMENIA V MALTA: BETTING TIPS
The odds on a home win are really short and although on paper this looks a certain home win Armenia must break down the 10 men Malta will put behind the ball. Armenia are a much improved side and for me one who will continue to do so. I think Armenia have the ability to score a few goals here and with Malta unlikely to trouble the scorer Armenia -1.5 at 1.75 with Bet365 looks a great bet. Malta have managed a solitary goal in the whole campaign. It was a goal in Prague against the Czechs but it was a 30 yard screamer that can be chalked down as a fluke. Especially since they have not got close to scoring since.
Milesey

France are more interested in the brazil game on sunday, and uruguay just wont be interested.
Under 1.5 goals
PORTUGAL V RUSSIA
Russia is top of European World Cup Qualification Group F under Fabio Capello with four wins in four matches. Portugal are third with 11 points in six matches. Just goal difference separates them from Isreal in 2nd place.
Portugal were favorites for winning this group, but Russia have looked impressive while Portugal perhaps have been a subpar so far. For instance, they needed an injury time goal to secure a point against Israel. They actually went 1-0 up in that one, but had to work themselves out of a 3-1 down hole.
Not only have Russia won all four games so far, they havent conceded a goal yet. With their technical, well composed football Russia is a force in today’s game. Many tipped them to do well in the European Championship, but perhaps it is only now we get to see what Russia is capable of?
When the teams met in Russia, the home side won 1-0 after Kerzhakov scored an early goal. Neither side has absences that should have an effect on the outcome of this game.
BETTING TIPS
I expect Russia to soak up Portugese pressure, and aim for quick breaks when good opportunities arise. The Russians are just experts of that playing style, so I do not doub’t they’ll mangage to see their strategy through in an effective way. It will be up to Portugal to take this game to the Russians and not give them too much space to counter in. I am sure coach Bento is very aware of that, and is preparing his big guns for battle.The Russian defense will of course get a handful to handle when Portugal attacks from either flank, but Russia showed they could handle that in the reverse fixture. They’ll be confident they can again.
Portugal is priced around 4/5 (1.80). I do not fancy that price. Portugal has had many great editions, but this one doesn’t seem too be up to their standards. Russia has done more than plenty to prove they’re top drawer. Anyhow; I rate this game more open than the odds indicate.
ASIAN HANDICAP
BET 365 offers 2.05 (21/20) for Russia +0.5 on the Asian Handicap coupon, those odds are excellent.
