The World Cup play-offs get underway in Europe tonight and four-times winners Italy are heavy favourites at home to Northern Ireland.
The Azzurri have missed out on the last two finals so they will be desperate to ensure they're in North America this summer.
But Northern Ireland have made a habit of upsetting the odds under Michael O'Neill and could make life difficult for the Italians.
Italy vs Northern Ireland top betting tips
The bookies can't see Italy slipping up again as they're 1/8 favourites to reach the final and 2/7 with most firms for a win inside 90 minutes.
The Northern Irish are as big as 12/1 with BetMGM tonight and I'd imagine O'Neill will set up to frustrate.
That makes an Azzurri win with under 3.5 goals a decent option and it pays 20/21 at StarSports.
Rino Gattuso's men should be on the front foot and that could see the corner count rack up. Backing Italy at -3 in the corner handicap pays evens at BOYLESports.
Wales vs Bosnia and Herzegovina
Wales are looking to qualify for their second World Cup in a row, having ended an exile stretching back to 1958 by reaching Qatar 2022.
Getting to North America won't be easy though as the Dragons need to get Bosnia before taking on the winners of that clash between Italy and Northern Ireland.
They have home advantage for both games though and the Cardiff crowd could be a 12th man, with William Hill making them 4/5 favourites tonight.
Bosnia are no mugs but I fancy Craig Bellamy's vibrant side to win this one and combining a Welsh victory with over 1.5 goals pays 11/8 at BOYLESports.
The Dragons will need Harry Wilson to be at his best to come out on top and the Fulham star is 11/10 at Paddy Power to score or assist.
Czech Republic vs Republic of Ireland
The Republic of Ireland booked their place in the World Cup play-offs with a remarkable late revival and will be hoping that momentum can carry them past the Czech Republic in Prague tonight.
The Irish looked doomed with two games to play but stunned Group F leaders Portugal with a 2-0 win in Dublin then claimed a thrilling 3-2 victory in Hungary to finish as runners-up.
Heimir Hallgrimsson's men will need to upset the odds again to reach the finals though with this clash against a decent Czech Republic side followed by a potential date with Denmark at the Aviva.
The Czechs are evens favourites at Unibet tonight and I'm going to take a nibble at that price given they were unbeaten at home in their qualifying group.
This one could be spicy and Irish midfielder Jason Molumby is usually decent value for a card. The West Brom man is 5/2 at SkyBet to go into the book.
