THE Nations League has brought Northern Ireland nothing but misery and it’s hard to see things improving when they visit Kosovo tonight.
I cashed in by backing a lack of goalmouth action when the Irish ground out a dreary 0-0 draw in Cyprus at the weekend.
That made it 12 games without a win in UEFA’s new competition and they now face a Kosovo side who won 2-0 on their visit to Larnaca.
The Kosovans are 23/20 with McBookie for a win tonight, which looks decent value, but don’t rule out another draw at 21/10.
Both teams to score has failed to land in all four matches in Group C2 so far and betting against it pays just 14/19 with VBet tonight.
Kosovo picked up two red cards and three yellows in their midweek loss to Greece so it could pay to back them for most cards here at 7/5 with McBookie.
Greece should have too much for Cyprus in the other group game and backing them to be winning at half-time and full time pays 17/20 at SpreadEx.
The best games for armchair fans should come in Group A2 as Spain visit Switzerland and Portugal host the Czechs.
Over 2.5 goals and BTTS has come up in three of the four group games so it bodes well for some action. I fancy a BTTS double and that bet is a best 306/100 with SBK.
Norway should be too strong for Slovenia in Group B4 and betting on them to be winning at half-time and full-time pays 6/5 at Bet365.
Super singles
- Kosovo to win (23/20, McBookie)
- BTTS double in Switzerland and Portugal (306/100, SBK)
McBookie bet builder
- Combining a Norway win with over 2.5 goals pays 135/100.
