International football can be dificult to bet on at the best of times but the upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures look a minefield for punters.
Countries are grouped together based on their ability so there's fewer mismatches, great for armchair fans, not so great if you're trying to beat the bookies.
That said, whipping boys San Marino and Gibraltar are still huge prices at 33/1 and 40/1 away to Estonia and Georgia respectively. Neither will win but the steadily improving Gib team deserve a bit more respect. They've drawn blank in five of their last six, including two 0-0 draws, but they've netted previously against the Georgians as well as against Latvia, Norway, Montenegro and Switzerland in the last few years so an away goal at 12/5 could be worth a punt.
Norway hit nine last time out against Armenia and there could be goals this evening when they visit Serbia. Erling Haaland is ably assisted by the likes of Sørloth, Elyounoussi, King and Thorvstedt who have all chipped in with goals in recent matches.
The Serbians too have goals in their ranks including Fulham's on-song Aleksander Mitrovic. They've scored 11 in their last three at home, albeit against much weaker opposition but 11/10 looks worth taking on in the Over 2.5 goals market.
A 0-0 draw with Italy in Belfast was the biggest positive Northern Ireland could take from a disappointing World Cup qualifying campaign which saw them finish a distant third in Group C.
Goal scoring was their biggest problem, finishing the group with just six goals in eight games. Tonight's opponents Greece weren't much more prolific, bagging eight in eight.
No surprise then to see Under 2.5 goals at just 4/9. The line for the time of the first goal is 37:00 and you can back no goal before then at 5/6. Alternatively look to the Asian Line where it's 1.925 at 0.5,1.0 which means you win if there's no goal and half your stake back if there's a single goal.

Just having a look through today’s card and can’t help but think there could be a bit of value in this morning’s international friendly in Sapporo…
JAPAN VS. PARAGUAY (11.00am)
Japan in by far the better form within the last 12 months although it’s worth noting that they only scraped a 1-1 draw against lowly Vietnam last time out!
Paraguay – where do you start?
Such an upcoming force in South American football at both a domestic and international level in the last decade but somewhere along the way recently, it has all gone to sh*t for them.
They do still have a decent squad though and ought to be capable of giving most sides a good game despite what the form says – at some point I reckon it will turn and they have no World Cup worries on their mind so can focus on getting their act together!
Three bets to consider and whilst Japan should score a couple, the price is too big for Almiron and co to draw a blank…btts looks a very healthy price:
BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
(11/8, bet365) ⭐️⭐️⭐️
JAPAN TO SCORE 2+
PARAGUAY 20+ BOOKING POINTS
(11/4, skybet) ⭐️⭐️
BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
4+ CORNERS EACH TEAM
BOTH TEAMS 20+ BOOKING POINTS
(25/1, skybet) ⭐️
Best of luck!
Might as well go for btts and over 2.5 Hull to take it to 12/5??
👍👍
Cracking tips 👍🏼
Cheers Newman 👍
Super Hull 👌
Great call, HullShaker!
Thanks
just for a wee interest in the 3 match series between England and New Zealand in the cricket that starts this morning
Joe Root at Evens to be top England run scorer, me thinks with the captaincy being removed from him you will
see his undoubted talent with the bat shine throo…

Korea u23 v Malaysia u23 2pm
Over 1.5 1st half goals 23/20
Over 1.5 2nd half goals 4/6
Over 3.5 match goals 6/5
Over 4.5 match goals 13/5
Stats point to a one sided game. Did also fancy Korea to win to nil at 4/5 but I feel they could take a comprehensive lead and potentially switch off late on so I’d rather side with goals.
Good luck 👍

Over 1.5 2nd half goals 4/6 ✅
Over 3.5 match goals 6/5 ✅

ANGUILLA VS. DOMINICA (9.00)
No time for a lengthy write-up but suffice to say, Anguilla are schocking whilst Dominica are much less shocking…but still shocking!
Anguilla really are on a different level of crapness though and Dominica should win comfortably although they tend not to score too many – a smaller goals total teamed with corners looks the best way into this one:
DOMINICA OVER 2.5 TEAM GOALS
OVER 7.5 MATCH CORNERS

Have pointed out Liechtenstein u21s previously on here as they concede goals like nothing else. Sometimes trying to find value in their games can be difficult but have found one I like the look of and will stick it on just now incase prices drop or markets disappear.
Iceland u21 over 2.5 FH tgs @ 5/4 (Whill)
Liechtenstein have conceded 3+ in the first half in 6 out their 8 games so far with the two they didn’t coming when they played at home. Had Iceland to score a few over there but took their foot off the gas after hitting 3 in the first half. They could easily do the same here against a team who have conceded 45 goals in their 8 games. Reckon Iceland over 3.5tgs @ 4/11 would be a good addition to any acca too.
The reverse fixture was played in November when a lot of the Icelandic players were off season but with their own leagues now back in full swing this should suit them to go out and take a fair few off Liechtenstein 🤞
Mexico v Uruguay 3.00am
