France (6/5) look bet of weekend

I HAVE said it before and I will say it again – I hate international weekends.
They represent no value whatsoever although they are very difficult to predict. And one last thing – they are bloody hard to watch. I think there are some radiators in the house I need to paint. The only think that could lighten up my weekend is a winning bet.

Let’s stop the moaning and get on with the selections and we start with our draw treble and the visit of PORTUGAL  to SWEDEN in Group 1.
The Swedes are hard to beat at home and have made a solid start to their qualifying campaign, gaining four points in their first two games. Portugal, meanwhile, have made an indifferent start, gaining three points from a possible six, losing 3-2 in their last game at home to Denmark. The DRAW looks the stand-out bet at 11/5.
In Group 2 LATVIA and SWITZERLAND have made indifferent starts; after both got good away results in their opening game they both lost at home next time out.
Two bad teams on show here and a draw looks the likely outcome, again at 11/5.
Making the draw treble up is the visit of reigning World Champions Italy to Bulgaria in what looks an interesting match for all us Ireland supporters. Italy have won both their opening games and another win on Saturday night could put them in pole position very early in the group. The Bulgarians drew their first and only game in Montenegro and know they need something from the weekend game to keep up with the pace in Group 8 and we think a draw at 12/5 is the likely outcome.
Remember those doubles as well as the treble, folks.
Punters GUIDE QUAD
We start with our weekend quad – another three out of four winners last week so fingers crossed.
We start with our weekend banker and we have opted for FRANCE 6/5 who travel to Romania who took a hammering in their last home game to shock group leaders Lithuania and then struggled to beat the Faroe Islands 1-0.
France need a win after already losing in Austria and we think three points beckons for Henry and co.
I hate always predicting against Northern Ireland but SLOVENIA 11/10 look a good home bet to win against Nigel Worthington’s boys.
POLAND 6/4 are hard to beat at home and have started Group 3 well with four points out of a possible six and I think they could upset the Czech Republic.
Making the quad up are CROATIA 7/4 who we hope can bounce back to form in the Ukraine after that thumping by England.
Punters GUIDE DOUBLE
A nice 49/1 double, hopefully – we have taken two in-form teams who have won both their opening games.
They are LITHUANIA 6/1 to win in Serbia and ALBANIA 6/1 to win in Hungary.
