IT'S a day where you really need to spend time studying if you want to get involved in the internationals/Under-21s qualifiers.
I’ve had a good look through both set of fixtures and have a couple of games I really like the look of – before that though my NAP comes from the Scottish Championship.
Could have easily posted 6 or 7 tips today – it’s one of the days where there are lots of appealing bets.
Inverness v Dundee United (7.45pm)
A lot has been said up here about Dundee’s United struggle recently both on and off the pitch and the fact players are publicly saying they find it tough at home due to the toxic atmosphere is not what you want to be hearing if you are a United fan.
They travel to the Highlands but I don't believe Inverness will be motivated for this tie having won the Challenge Cup Final on Saturday.
Who knows if the players over-indulged celebrating on Saturday night. With United finding it easier on the road with less pressure on them I think they are good value to get a much-needed three points against an ICT side hopefully with a cup final hangover.
- Dundee United (193-100, Marathonbet) (NAP)

Sky Bet special
7 Scottish games – 20+ goals scored (1-1, Sky Bet)
This looks extremely generous when we know the League One and Two matches regularly see 4 and 5 goals a game.

Luxembourg v Austria (7.30pm)
The Austrians were my NAP on Friday as they disposed of Slovenia 3-0 – since the WCQ ended they’ve beaten Uruguay, Serbia and Slovenia which is certainly encouraging for the next campaign.
They play minnows Luxembourg who are certainly much improved and are not the whipping boys they once where. They’ll do well to compete here though – taking Austria to win this by two goals and continue their impressive run of results.
Austria -1 (5-6, Marathonbet)
***************************
Turkey 21 v Malta u21 (3pm)
Austria u21 v Macedonia u21 (6pm)
Over 2.5 match goals double pays (5-4, Marathonbet)
****************************
There are loads of mismatches in the U21 qualifiers with some of the big sides playing the likes of Andorra, etc. Finding value is hard though but worth keeping an eye out.
There are also matches from the SPL Development League, in particular the games involving Hibs and Ross County.
Good luck with your bets today.
