Portugal have made a perfect start to World Cup qualifying and should pile on the misery for the Republic of Ireland in Group F tonight.
It looked like the Irish might be turning a corner under Heimir Hallgrimsson but a horror 2-0 loss in Armenia has left them with just a point from their first two qualifiers.
Portugal sit top of the pile with maximum points and it would be a major surprise if Ireland emerged with anything from their trip to Lisbon.
Portugal vs Republic of Ireland top betting tips
The Irish fired blanks in Armenia so it's hard to see them scoring in this one but a Portugal win to nil doesn't offer much value at 7/10 with BoyleSports. However, you can boost the odds to 23/20 by adding on Portugal winning the first half in a bet builder.
Roberto Martinez's side have been averaging four goals a game so far in the group so backing them at -2 in the handicap may also pay off at 23/20.
Cristiano Ronaldo should lead the line for Portugal and he's usually a threat in the air. The 40-year-old is 13/8 at Bet365 to get a header on target.
Spain vs Georgia
Spain look in the mood to wrap up their World Cup spot as quickly as possible, having romped to 3-0 and 6-0 wins away from home in their first two qualifiers.
Next up is Georgia at home today and it's hard to hold out much hope for the visitors, who lost 3-2 at home to a Turkey side who were then annihilated by the Spaniards.
BoyleSports make the European champions 1/7 favourites for this one and it's tricky finding value when they're such a short price.
But backing over 1.5 first-half goals is a decent option at 20/21, with that bet landing in both qualifiers so far for each side.
Lamine Yamal's absence is a blow for Spain but Mikel Oryazabal is a decent deputy. The Real Sociedad man is 10/11 at BoyleSports for a goal but the odds are better for an assist at 12/5 with Bet365.
Norway vs Israel
Norway are another team who have looked imperious so far and they can take a big step towards the finals with home win over Israel tonight.
Erling Haaland and Co have romped to five success victories in Group I, including a statement 3-0 triumph over Italy.
Israel have lost two of their five qualifiers, including a 4-2 defeat in their ‘home' game with the Norwegians in Hungary.
So it's easy to see why BoyleSports make them 12/1 outsiders tonight, with the group leaders just 2/9 for another win.
If Haaland's in the mood it's hard to see Israel living with Norway, with the Manchester City star scoring eight times so far in the group.
He's just 4/11 at BoyleSports for another goal tonight but backing him to break the deadlock boosts those odds to 15/8. Bet365 are also offering a tempting 12/5 on the big man scoring a header.
