Andorra v England

England to score 4 goals or more 8/11@Coral

I think England can get 4 here. First qualifying game under Capello I think they will be going for it and will want a confident boosting big win before the Croatia game.

Corals are only offering 1/2 for over 3 goals but Andorra won't score so take the better odds on England to get the 4 goals.

Erm.... without meaning to sound blunt, that's proper rubbish odds that is!

Eng have scored 4 or more goals away from home only twice since 2000 (got bored looking any further back) - in 2001 the famous 5-1 away win in Germany and at the Euro04 finals where we beat Croatia 4-2.

We've been to Leichenstein, Azarbajan and Andorra since then, the best win being 3-0 in Andorra in Mar07. So statistically not even a 50:50 chance. And seeing how Eng play recently, on a footballing judgement call i wouldn't rate it more likely than that either.

Have to say...Couldn't agree more!!

Less than evens for 4 goals or more from an English side without Gerrard...

I really hope Bullard gets a run out in the 2nd half sometime,but they are poor odds...

I am not saying that it will not happen, because as said in the original post,1st World Cup Qualifier and surely they will be up for it against the part timers, but as Theo would say on Dragon's den...I WILL NOT BE PUTTING MY CHILDRENS INHERITANCE ON IT!! Laughing

The best one i've noticed so far in regards to the international games thie weekend are WALES v the mighty azerbaijan. I mean common wales are at home being roared on by ze welsh nd azerbaijan are one of the worst national sides around.
I also noticed not bad odds for sweden away to albania. Sweden always do well in the qualifying.
A double of wales and sweden is just above evens on Bet365 which i see as good value.

Lots of correct score combinations for me this time.

Andorra v England
Liechtenstein v Germany
Spain v Bosnia-Herzegovina
Luxembourg v Greece

Im probably jinxing myself again but I can't see any of the favourites there conceeding any goals. So I've decided to do many combinations of 2-0 3-0 & 4-0.

Andorra 0 - 3 England
Liechtenstein 0 - 4 Germany
Spain 3 - 0 Bosnia-Herzegovina
Luxembourg 0 - 2 Greece

You would of thought the scorelines will be similar to that but strange things happen as everyone knows. Germany may get 5 or 6.

Dansab i agree with you about the wales and sweden picks buddy, they look like value. i think albania have improved a bit over last couple of years but i think ibrahimovic is fit to play for sweden so he might cause them a few problems. wales should beat azerbaijan, especially if they've got bellamy and giggs playing

another pick that might be worth a punt is turkey away to armenia, i fancy turkey to win that one, i think odds are around 1.4. however, armenia held portugal to a 1-1 draw last year and turkey were held 2-2 away to malta not so long ago too. having said that, turkey did well in euro 2008 so i see their stock as being worth investing in at the moment

I quite fancy 6 fixtures for the upcoming world cup qualifiers, these 6 will bring in odds of 10 as an accumulator- WALES to beat Azerbaijan at 1.35, wales should win this by at least 2 goals, NORWAY to beat Iceland at 1.35, norway were quite decent in their euro qualifiers very reliable at home, Iceland were dodgy away so only one oucome for me. UKRAINE to get the better of Belarus at 1.45, not many teams come away with points when playing in the Ukraine, they are at their best at home and are usually consistent. ROMANIA to beat Lithuania at 1.28, Romania topped the group for euro 2008 qualifiers and beat Holland to boot! ITALY to beat Cyprus at 1.25, Im not a fan of Italy, they cost me dearly against Georia of all teams! But I do fancy their chances here, albeit an away fixture for them. Last fixture is just to add a bit of value but is a tricky one-Im quietly optimistic though. ISRAEL to beat Switzerland at 2.4, Israel have proven that they are no muppets when it comes to footy and I think the swiss will battle there, Israel drew against England and beat Russia in the euro 2008 qualifiers if memory serves me correct. Worth a punt on its own if you dont fancy incorporating it into the accumulator.

Anyone got any info on the Bulgaria squad to play Montenegro?

I think evs is a good price if the likes of berbatov and the pertrovs are playing?

I just got matched @2.60 for UNQUOTED on the BF correct score 2 market which is a gift (should be around 2.20)

Three teams i fancy in League two this weekend.

Bury away at chester are 2.3 with Coral, chester had a good result last week in beating barnet 5-1, but it wasonly barnet! Bury have played good football this year and in Andy Bishop they have a potent striker who will punish the appauling Chester defence.

Secondly is Luton 2.1 with Coral, Macclesfield have been shocking this season and crumbling at home to Darlington last week will do nothing for the already battered confidence. Luton will want to start making a bigger dent in their points deduction. Macc are one of the teams that they could possibly catch so this is must win for the Hatters.

Finally, my beloved Shrewsbury Town2.2 with the same firm. An away point at Notts county last week and a good performance in Exeter during the week means we go into this game on a high. Key players have been rested in the week and with our second string strikers scoring goals for fun in the reserves i think we will be to strong for a winless Morecambe.

Pays 10.63 for the treble. Good luck with your bets this weekend.
