Tonight sees plenty of WC Qualifiers and despite there normally not really being any value in the 1x2 markets due to 2 teams being hugely mis matched there does tend to be value in the goals markets, The main one being the 2-3 goals market. For anyone who doesnt know what 2-3 goals means it is for the game to end with 2 or 3 goals in total which happens a good % of the time.
It covers 7 popular scorelines. 2-0, 2-1, 3-0, 0-2, 1-2, 0-3 and the 1-1 draw. Odds on this bet are generally 1.95 or 2.00
Now tonights standout group for this bet is
GRP A which after 15 games played 11 games have ended 2-3 goals (73%) It doesn't take a maths genius to know that a 73% strikerate on 1.95 shots is showing good profit.
1 unit would be showing a 6.45pt profit and that is just taking the minimum odds of 1.95.
3 games tonight in GRP A and all 3 have good potential to end 2-3 goals.
Belgium vs Macedonia: 2-3 Goals @ 2.00
All 5 of Belgiums games so far have ended 2-3 goals including both home games. 3 of Macedonias 5 games have ended 2-3 goals so far with 1 of their 2 away games.
The previous game between these 2 in the grp ended 2-3 goals which was a 2-0 away win for Belgium.
Between Belgiums 2 home games and Macedonias 2 away games 3 out of those 4 have ended 2-3 goals with the reverse fixture ending 2-3 goals.
Wales vs Croatia: 2-3 Goals @ 1.95
4 of Wales 5 games so far have ended 2-3 goals with both games at home ending 2-3 goals. 4 of Croatias 5 games have also ended 2-3 goals with both away games ending 2-3 goals.
Between Wales 2 home games and Croatias 2 away games all 4 have ended 2-3 goals with the reverse fixture in the grp also ending 2-3 goals which was a 2-0 home win for Croatia.
Serbia vs Scotland: 2-3 Goals @ 1.95
Only 2 of Serbias 5 games so far have ended 2-3 goals with 1 of their 2 home games ending 2-3 goals. 4 of scotlands 5 games have neded 2-3 goals including both away games.
Between serbias 2 home games and Scotlands 2 away games 3 of those 4 have ended 2-3 goals. The reverse fixture ended 0-0 in Scotland.
The above 3 all have a good chance of ending 2-3 goals IMO. Backing all 3 to level stakes would show at least a 30% ROI for 2 out of 3 and a 97% ROI for 3 out of 3.
For those who like to be adventurous the treble paying just over 13/2 (7.60) looks decent.
If 1 of these were to let us down I would go with the Serbia game. Serbia put 6 goals past Wales but havent scored a single goal in any of their other 4 games. Serbia at home should score past a weak Scottish defence though so will stick it in my bets tonight but I wouldsn't be surprised to see a 0-0/1-0/0-1 scoreline.
The above 3 look the best options tonight but there is a few more with decent chances.
Montenegro vs England: 2-3 Goals @ 1.95.
Apart from when England have played Minnows San Marino and Moldova their games have ended 2-3 goals. I cant see the game being a goalfest so 4+ seems unlikely but expect goals. 1-1 or England to win it 2-0/2-1 seem the most likely.
Others I like are,
N. Ireland vs Israel: 2-3 Goals @ 1.95
Denmark vs Bulgaria: 2-3 Goals @ 1.95
Ukraine vs Moldova: 2-3 Goals @ 2.05
The above 7 all look decent shouts tonight. Any 4 from 7 will show a level stake profit and just 3 from 4 would only show a small loss.
Above 7 all 10pt singles for me and also taking out the N.Ireland and Ukraine games and the 5 that are left I am doing 5 x 1pt 4folds and 1 x 1pt 5 fold
All 7 pays 115/1 which could be worth a shilling or 2
Total Staked: 76pts
Total Returned: ??
