IT”s another busy day of international friendlies as some of Europe's big guns play their final friendly before Euro 2024.
Spain are dark horses for glory in Germany this summer and will be out to grab a few goals when they take on Northern Ireland in Mallorca.
The Irish claimed one of the biggest victories in their history when they stunned the Spaniards on home soil at the 1982 World Cup.
But the squad at Michael O'Neill's disposal isn't as talented as the one Billy Bingham had and it's hard to see them causing another upset against Luis de la Fuente's men.
Spain vs Northern Ireland Top Betting Tips
Spain are red-hot 1.10 favourites with Bet365 so it's hard finding value backing them. But a bet builder that combines a Spanish win to nil with over 2.5 goals pays 13/8 and that looks worth a punt.
De la Fuente's side scored five times against Andorra and midweek and I'd imagine the manager will make a few changes to give players game time ahead of the finals.
Wingers Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal didn't feature against Andorra so should get a run-out here. Barcelona wonderkid Yamal is 6/5 for anytime scorer while the Athletic Bilbao star is slightly longer odds at 6/4.
Portugal v Croatia Top Tips
The most entertaining game today could be Croatia's trip to Portugal with both sides scoring freely in their midweek friendlies.
Croatia beat North Macedonia 3-0 while Portugal defeated Finland 4-2 so over 2.5 goals looks pretty good value at 19/20. Adding BTTS to that bet boosts the odds to 7/5.
Backing corners paid off for me in Germany v Greece yesterday and the odds are higher than usual in that market for a friendly. Over eight corners pays 10/11 with Bet365 here and the price increases to 13/8 for over nine flag kicks.
Denmark vs Norway Top Tips
Denmark have stayed in Scandinavia for their Euro 2024 warm-ups and face Norway today after beating Sweden in midweek.
This should be a tough test for the Danes after Erling Haaland scored a hat-trick for the Norwegians in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Kosovo.
If he starts again we should see goals at both ends and over 2.5 strikes looks decent value again at 19/20.
Haaland is 6/4 for anytime scorer and is always worth backing at that kind of price, provided the Norwegians don't rest him. He's also a whopping 11/1 to score with a header.
Hungary vs Israel Top Tips
Hungary's 14-game unbeaten run ended against Ireland in midweek but they should bounce back with a home win over Israel.
The Israelis are under new management and Ran Ben Shimon is missing some of his big-name players for this trip to Debrecen.
That makes me think the Hungarians should win quite comfortably and backing them to be winning at half-time and full-time pays 6/4.

Any England fan confident after that display last night???
Never have seen I’ve finally woken up after years of hype which we brought upon ourselves&the media
Some of Southgate’s inclusions to the squad are strange, not sure how Mainoo made it but he’s not good enough and Cole Palmer showing why he’s playing for Chelsea.
You can have a ferrari, but if you’ve got Maureen driving it, you’ll never get the best out of it.
Wasn’t confident before last night. But now I believe even more that we will struggle to make it out of the group and if we do that’s as far as we go
Gareth Southgate is the Rishi Sunak of football. Enough said.
Haha it was just a friendly with players trying not to get injured. England will show up come game time. Fair play to Southgate picking a lot of players on form for a change aswel. Obviously the defence is an issue..
I don’t have any hope for England after last nights performance unfortunately
I read somewhere that Cole Palmer should replace Saka. I just laugh them clowns.We saw what he did yesterday. I can bet England won’t qualify out of them group with Southgates student mistake and selections.
If last night taught us / confirmed anything it’s to back France to win it
I’ll take that bet. England will coast that group.. let’s not kid ourselves
Trying Finland again today even tho I’ve not had much luck there.
KuPS-Oulu. Kups to win+o2.5mgls@6/4
Good luck all
Good one Noob. Am glad I did not miss out. Let’s go my guy. Thank u
You’re welcome Oscar. Glad you got on it
After a big letdown in yesterday’s cricket I’m back with another shot.
England v Australia 18:00
Salt o20.5 Runs 5/6
Similar reasoning to yesterday, Salt is overlooked in his performances, he had a great IPL and a solid international average in his past few England games.
The innings line is set at 180 meaning runs are expected, this is backed up by the track itself as it seems a pretty steady pitch.
I also have a yourodds request on William Hill for Rashid Top England Bowler, Salt Top England Batter and England Win: 25/1
Goodluck all :)
WINNER
Salt on a comfortable 24 not out and looking strong :)

Hit quite a few of these for big odds over the last week or so I’m having another bash , as i mentioned there friendlies and sometimes you get drab matches but i think it’s worth a punt.
Don’t think you will be to far away Deano .
Good luck ?
I looked so hard at the Denmark game too. But like you I’m not a fan of friendlies. Good luck buddy
