It is time for a return to gambling this weekend. Posting leans for the qualifiers in europe, will discuss more, any and all input welcome. May skip on some of these if a good reason to do so surfaces.
Cyprus Ireland Under 2.5 : Since Ireland have only scored more than 2 goals twice all qualifying, against last place georgia, this may be a cagey affair ending at most 1-1.
Italy -1 Georgia : Because, well, Georgia is dead last, and no matter how I dislike them, Italy have some quality.
Azerbaijan - Finland for game : Because Azerbaijan are terrible, not scoring a single goal, and having only a solitary point with a HOME 0-0 DRAW VS LICHTENSTEIN. Finland are desperate for points to keep in touch with Russia and have managed some impressive displays ie the 3-3 tie vs Germany.
Poland for game - Northern Ireland: Poland are a team with some FIFA pedigree and they are in need of points. They need to capitalize on opportunities such as this, sicne Northern Ireland are on paper a lesser team.
Slovakia - Czech Republic pk: Czech Republic are perennial competitors in the elite tournaments and need the points if they are to have any chance of qualifying. Too much quality in their roster. I may even lean on them outright.
Scotland for game - Macedonia: Scotland need a win, and are better, and are at home. Nothing more to see here.
