well done mate, followed you on the BTTS, not the way I expected it to go, but a wins a win I suppose

think the sending off probably helped, made it more attack vs. defence than a competitive game, and like Chelsea have shown, throwing your body on the line occassionally reaps rewards.

No problem Kev.

Keep going-always an interesting read.

cant see czech game on coral?

sorry that was for serbian game, did find the BTTS market at no 1.80 so whats the difference between both markets?

I placed my bets yesterday.

Looking at Oddschecker, Czech Rep are best priced 1.53 with B365 to win to nil, or a safer option is 1.57 S James, BTTS

The Holland prices have shortened too.

The Serbia game, BTTS is now at 1.91 with Hills, and 2.05 to win to nil, with Hills

Check Oddschecker for all prices, or there might be money on Betfair.

Paddy Power go 2 (Evens) in the Liechtenstein U21's v Hungary U21's game, but like the Luxembourg game, I'll swerve this, even though the odds are tempting.

There was a time when anyone v Liechtenstein was a good thing,but that's changing.
Even though they're on a 23 game losing streak, they've actually scored in 3 of their last 5 games, including two v Italy..

Hungary only secured their first group stage win on Friday, thanks to a man of the match performance by ex Tranmere keeper, Peter Gulacsi.
By all accounts Turkey battered them, only for Hungary to pinch it late on.




needless to say that Hungary went 3-0 up after 15minsthis mug is priceless stuff,keep em coming kid,i love it

If you're feeling adventurous you could back Both teams to score - NO in the Austria U21's v Luxembourg U21's game @ 1.73 (Corals).
Personally I'm sitting this one out. Austria are nothing special, and Luxembourg have gotten into the nasty habit of actually scoring goals, including two in their last away game in Bulgaria.



another loss im afraid boys

this one just finished 4-1

oh dear,yet another odds on selection down the drain keep em coming mug boy

1.29  and 1.30

Time to get this show back on the road with a few bets for Friday/Saturday.

USA v Antigua & Barbuda Midnight

I've read American football journalists claiming this could be double figures, and some suggesting anything less than 5 or 6 will be disappointing.

USA are perennial World Cup finalists. They may have a relatively easy qualifying campaign, but there's no doubting they're a decent side.
They have players all across Europe, including the PL, Serie A and the Bundesliga.

Antigua are managed by ex Tranmere loanee, Tom Curtis, who also manages the Island's best club side, who actually play in the third tier of US soccer.

His squad is made up of 17 players from his club side, and a few familiar names from England, including Reading's Mikele Leigertwood.

Although there is a Reading and a Cardiff player in the squad, there's also players from non league clubs like Kendal, Dover and St Albans.

There is no real form to go on. Antigua have never played anyone of the USA's calibre.
They did knock out Haiti, who are ranked higher, in the last round of qualifiers, but it was only on the away goals rule.

They've played four friendlies this year, losing to St Vincent, St Kitt's and T&T.

There's been plenty of shocks from small US sides knocking out MLS sides in the US Open Cup recently, but that's because a lot of MLS didn't take it seriously.

The USA were involved in arguably the greatest ever World Cup shock, beating England 1-0 in 1950, and an Antigua win would probably surpass that.

This is a USA win, it's just a case of how many, and it's hard to see Antigua even scoring.

USA to win to nil 1.73 Bet365

Both teams to score - NO 1.66 Bet365



Mexico v Guyana. Saturday, 1am

The other CONCACAF powerhouse start their campaign at home to what's likely to be the group's whipping boys.

While Mexico have been warming up with wins over Wales, Bosnia and Brazil, Guyana have been getting beat by the likes of Jamaica, Guatemala and St Vincent.

They did knock out T&T in the last round of qualifiers, but let's face it, T&T are nothing special.

There's a couple of familiar names in their squad, Carl and Leon Cort, but other than them, it's made of of players playing their club football in the Caribbean, Croyden and Staines.

Mexico can call on the services of players from the PL, La Liga, Bundesliga, as well as domestic players, in one of the most competitive leagues outside of Europe.

Mexico should get their campaign off to a flyer, and it's hard to see Guyana causing them any problems.

In Asian World Cup qualifiers, the Lebanon v Uzbekistan is an interesting game.

It looks like Lebanon have gone as far as they can, and Qatar beat them with relative ease last week.

Uzbekistan can count themselves very unfortunate to have lost to Iran on the same day.
They totally dominated the match, had a goal wrongly crossed out after officials failed to see the ball cross the line, only to fall for a sucker punch with 10 seconds of injury time left.

They've changed coach since the weekend, bringing in the manager of the countries leading club, who has guided them into the Q/F of the AFC CL.

Uzbekistan won their last qualifying group that included Japan, and conceded just one goal. They also won in Japan.

They were exceptionally strong defensively, but recent friendly results haven't been inspiring, but as I said, Lebanon look to have hit a wall, not helped by not having their talisman out injured.

On the weekend's form I can see Uzbekistan being too strong for Lebanon, but I'm not sure I'll play this game until closer to kick off.


Kazakhstan U21's v France U21's 3.45pm

France top the group with a perfect record, 6-0-0, scoring 15 with no reply. OK, it's a relatively easy group, but you can only beat what's in front of you.
Kazakhstan have scored just once in their four games.

France have already won the group but I'm sure they'll want to continue their 100% record, but it's probably best to keep stakes small.

It's Evens France to win to nil (Paddy Power) but I'm going to take the more conservative bet of:

Both teams to score - NO 1.8 Paddy Power

Your research and views are much appreciated, Kev, thanks a lot.
