Steve Clarke could hardly have wished for a better start to Scotland’s Euro 2024 qualifying campaign. A 3-0 win over Cyprus was followed by a stunning 2-0 win over 2012 champions Spain, to propel them to the top of Group A.
When the groups were drawn it looked like straight shoot-out between Scotland and Norway for second place but a win in Oslo tonight would put the Scots eight points clear of their opponents with just five games to play after a slow start by the Norwegians.
Scoring sensation Erling Haaland was missing for their opening two matches in which they were soundly beaten by the Spanish and could only manage a draw against a dangerous Georgia side. So the pressure is on Ståle Solbakken’s side who will view this one as a must-win.
But it’s a squad full of quality, playing across the top leagues in Europe, led by Arsenal’s Martin Ødegaard and they’re rightful favourites at 21/20.
Scotland are 11/4 to claim the win but they’ll be happy enough with a draw at 23/10. It’s 8/11 for the Scots to avoid defeat on the Double Chance market or a bigger 1.850 on the Asian Handicap with +0.5 of a start.
Haaland is the man they’re going to have to keep quiet. He’s scored 13 goals in his last nine games for his country to make it 21 in 23 overall. The European Golden Shoe winner is even money to net tonight and 3/1 to open the scoring.
Scotland’s John McGinn continues to be over-priced by the bookies to get his name on the scoresheet. With 16 goals he’s 7th on the all-time list for Scotland and is always a goal threat for Clarke’s side. He’s 9/2 to get on the scoresheet this evening.
Earlier in the week we flagged up Georgia to win in Cyprus at even money and they’ve been backed in to 19/20. They’ve lost just one of their last 14 matches, a 3-0 friendly defeat to Morocco in UAE and as mentioned above earned a draw against Norway last time out so are still attractive at that price.
Hungary also looked a good price at 11/10 to win away at Montenegro and they’ve drifted out a touch to 23/20. After an excellent Nations League campaign they started their assault on Euro 2024 with a convincing 3-0 win over Bulgaria and could be worth getting on side with tonight.

Bet365 currently offering 11/2 DOUBLE CHANCE. Betfair Exchange 15/2 DC.
surely the price of 20/1 on liechtenstein is way too big? the battle of the two teams who never win, except against each other. there’s got to be some value in this match somewhere?
15/8 +2 for the away team is my pick
plus head to head favours liech too
Race too 3 goals – Neither team 11/10
Thats what i fancied in that one
Looked at this myself and took 28/1 with skybet last night, the head to head certainly favours the away side.

French Guiana v Sint Maarten
21:30
CONCACAF Gold Cup
Sint Maarten to score 7-5 Ladbrokes 🇸🇽
French Guyana heavy favourite and bookies suggest a few goals margin.
Could be the case but sint Maarten have apparently recruited a couple of European based players who have helped them find the net during qualification namely gerwin lake who scored 8 goals.
He plays in the Dutch lower leagues so he is European based, ok it’s probably a shit standard but I’m trying to convince myself they will net 😁.
Prediction french Guyana win and BTTS
2-1 half time 🇸🇽
No joy in Norway earlier, will have a look later at the overnight games.
