NIGHT two of the Nations League matches and we also have a busy u21 qualifying card to get stuck into
Austria v Wales (7.45pm)
I've had a lot of success backing Austria in 2018 and this looks like another match in which they will triumph in. They've disposed of strong opposition at home recently having beaten Uruguay, Germany, Sweden and Russia, all of whom are stronger than today’s opponents Northern Ireland
Just one home defeat from their last 11 is good going (that was against Brazil) – and they play a side who historically don’t travel well at all. when you look back at Northern Irelands away, its pretty poor. Just 10 wins rom their last 74 matches on the road is eye watering stuff but they are in decent shape.
They had a fine 3-0 win at home against Israel and before that they absolutely battered a good Bosnia side but somehow lost 2-1. I dint think they'll win but are capable of scoring and given Austria's impressive home form, we should see at least two goals
Russia u21 v Macedonia u21 (5pm)
The Russians have seen over 2.5 goals land in 7 of their last 8 games and with home advantage, they'll be looking to make inroads on Serbia and Austria who sit above them in the league (they play each other today)
They are up against a poor Macedonia side who have won just one of their last 11 matches but it’s the manner of the defeats that must concern them. They conceded 2 or more in 10 of those matches including 4-3, 4-0, 4-2 defeats
This should be an easy victory for the Russians
Recommended Bets
- Austria v Northern Ireland over 1.5 goals
- Russia u21 v Macedonia u21 over 2.5 match goals
- 11/10 (William Hill) (NAP)
SKYBET specials
Didn’t get involved last night based on the teams in action – that was a big mistake – first half goals 13/2 and goal both halves 80/1 landed – think there was 21 goals that would have paid 8/1
Skybet offering these again tonight in both the Nations league games and 8 matches from the 5pm u21 qualifiers
