607 days. That's how long we have to wait until the controversial 2022 World Cup begins in Qatar. Scheduled to kick-off on November 11 2022, the road to glory begins for European nations on Wednesday as 24 teams get their qualifying campaigns under way.
Wales and Republic of Ireland face difficult starts with trips to Belgium and Serbia respectively.
On paper the Welsh couldn't have it much tougher against the team ranked 1st in the world and that's reflected in their 12/1 odds to begin with a win. Roberto Martinez's star-studded side are just 1/3 to take the three points. SlipsTips has found a couple of angles to get onside with the Belgians in his match preview.
Ireland need to snap out of a run that's seen them score just once in their last eight outings. Pressure is mounting on gaffer Stephen Kenny and expectations will be low that they can come away from Belgrade with all three points. KevMac plays it with the stats in his match preview, backing the Serbs to keep a clean sheet at 9/10.
Elsewhere France and Ukraine could be an interesting one. The French trounced Ukraine 7-1 in a Paris friendly last year and it could be another high-scoring affair with the likes of Mbappe, Coman, Martial, Griezmann and Giroud able to be called upon by Didier Descamps.
Mbappe is in Mark Walker's sights for the match at the Stade de France as the 22-year old embarks on his quest to lead France to defend their world crown.

Wellingthon Phoenix win odds 1,70
Couple of matches in 🇦🇺 this morning, first up Wellington Phoenix take on Melbourne victory and yet again the away side can’t put their strongest XI on the park. The nix have found a wee bit of form over their last 4 games with 2 wins and a draw and have been scoring a few goals as well, I’ve put together a betbuilder that hopefully shouldn’t be too far away as I reckon they will dominate this game possession wise at least.
Wellington Phoenix v Melbourne victory
Nix over 0.5 goals
Nix dc
Nix over 4.5 corners

Victory over 1.5 cards
21/10 hills
2nd match sees Perth take on Sydney and with both sides languishing way below where they would expect to be in the table I’m expecting a decent game with both sides looking for the 3 pts. As I pointed out their last match every Perth game this season has been over 2.5mgs and I’ve been doing well with over 2.5 betbuilders in their matches and I see no reason not to continue with that today. Neither side are shy of getting stuck in and both will attack so hopefully we see a decent action packed game
Perth v Sydney

Over 2.5 corners each team

**Perth v Sydney is my NB
Euro World Cup Qualifying
Couple of games caught my eye for today’s NAP, fixtures involving Belgium and France. I’d imagine they will be a popular choice for many today as these 2 are ranked 1+2 in the world, and while I reckon they will win I’m happy just to take on goals. You have to go back to 2017 to find the last time Belgium failed to score 2 in a competitive international and while wales have been fairly solid at the back recently 2 of the 3 teams they’ve conceded 2+ to were England and Denmark- teams Belgium dispatched pretty comfortably at home of late. No Eden hazard for the home men but that’s a fairly regular occurrence these days and I fancy the Belgians to still have enough quality to cover the goal line.
Next selection is France, not the same formidable record at home the Belgians do but they still cover 2+ in most of their recent competitive home matches, and what also drew me to this the Ukrainians recent away record- they played 5 away games in 2020, lost them all and conceded 2+ in them all. Albeit 2 were friendlies it doesn’t bode well and 1 of them was to France were they lost 7-1. Hopefully the french are lethal enough today to score 2+

Estonia v Czech Republic BTTS 10/3 – half stake
The home side are pretty woeful but have netted a few goals at home in recent qualifiers. The Czechs have conceded a few recently against the likes of Kosovo, Bulgaria and Cyprus. Worth a punt at these odds IMO.

ASLAN KARATSEV
16/1 william hill (1/2 odds, 2 places)
Been impressed with Karatsev and it’s no fluke his rise in the rankings when you watch him play, he takes the ball early which means he gives his opponent less time between shots, he’s proved he can come back from being down, he’s comfortable with long rallies but can also strike early in a rally with precision and power

SERGIO GARCIA to beat L. Westwood
20/21 bet365
Confident pick here with Sergio having finishing positions of 5th and 9th in the last two runnings of this event, he’s 7-3 for his last 10 matchups in this Matchplay format,
Westwood on the other hand has only won 2 of his last 9 matches in this Matchplay format, his two 2nd place finishes recently look to have taken a toll both mentally and physically, Sergio for the win here
What happens if you cash out when you think your bet is in but then the goal or whatever gets disallowed?
I just did this
This happens daily with me on Bet365.
Soon as I realise the goal Etc was disallowed ,I quickly cash out then place another bet using the winnings.when bet365 realise ,they put your account into minus (whatever the win was).I then avoid betting with them for around 24 hours.Then they email me to say as a good will gesture they are returning my account to zero.
Cheers mate. Yes this was bet365!
Quite right too they let you have it. They shouldn’t offer it otherwise daft tw*ts.
You snooze, you lose lol
Thanks again
All depends how much it is for, I’ve always withdrew then go on live-chat or phone them and got it settled as goodwill gesture
I cashed as went to var took £59 an bet would won £63 so basically won what would, was 90 min.
Money in account and then after disallowed goal do down as looser an they took money back.
I said should honour it if offered it or don’t offer that cash out.
Went on for abit an then got given £59 as credits ‘good will gesture’

Serbia vs Republic of Ireland
Serbia to win & under 4.5 match goals
Double pays
2.02/2 (Betway)
Reasoning on both games below 👇🏼
Belgium vs Wales
World Cup Qualifier 🇪🇺
Wednesday 24th March, 19:45 ⏰
For me this game is all about Belgium and their attacking quality. Belgium have won their last 10 Nations League & Euro qualifiers scoring at least 2 or more in all of them. With attackers such as De Bruyne, Mertens and Lukaku they should have too much quality against a Wales side than can be stubborn opponents but have lost to Denmark, Croatia and Hungary in their last 9 Nations League & Euro qualifiers.
Serbia vs Republic of Ireland
World Cup Qualifier 🇪🇺
Wednesday 24th March, 19:45 ⏰
2 sides off the back off disappointing ends to the European qualifying campaign with both losing on penalties in their respective play offs. This looks to be a crucial tie as both sides are expected to battle out for second place behind world number 5 Portugal. With home advantage and just having better quality of players I feel Serbia will have enough to defeat a toothless Irish side. With the likes of Dusan Tadic, Alexander Mitrovic, Sergei Milinkovic Savic and Frankfurt duo Luka Jovic & Filip Kostic (who I’ve been really impressed with this season) they should breakdown an Irish defence, especially if Shane Duffy starts. Don’t envisage it being a high scoring game with Ireland’s last 9 Nations League and euro qualifiers going under 2.5 goals.
Wales are unbeaten in their last 10 competitive fixtures.
Yeah I was talking about Wales away record not their overall. Don’t think it’ll be straight forward but think Belgium will have just too much. Hopefully a 2-1/3-1 and we’re both happy mate
