Football Accumulator Betting Tip for Tuesday's World Cup Qualifying: "This Tuesday sees the final round of fixtures in this year’s World Cup Qualifying and we have an accumulator for it. There is a slight lack of value in a lot of matches so to compensate for this I’ve put together a 12/1 8-fold."
Accumulator Betting Tip:
Bosnia to beat Lithuania 1/3:
Bosnia have impressed everyone in qualifying and will rather finish first or second in this group. Bosnia have won seven matches in the group and lost just once. They are unbeaten on the road and have conceded just once, scoring eight and five in two of their away games. Lithuania haven’t had a bad qualifying with three wins and four defeats. Their wins however have come against the minnows of Liechenstien and Latvia. At home they have only lost once to Greece but against a strong Bosnia side who have it all to play for, they should lose.
Romania to beat Estonia 2/11:
Romania still have a great chance of claiming a play-off spot but will want a win to give them the best possible chance. They have only lost to Turkey and Holland in qualifying and have five wins in nine. Estonia have only managed to beat Andorra in qualifying and have lost three of four away. Justified short odds in this one as Romania should easily beat Estonia.
Serbia to beat Macedonia 2/5:
A damp squid from group A as neither of these sides can qualify. Serbia have struggled a bit picking up just three wins in nine qualifiers and losing four. They have been much better at home though, losing just once. Macedonia are bottom of a group with Wales in it. They have lost six matches in qualifying and lost three of their four away matches. It should be an easy night for Serbia and they should wrap up qualifying on a high.
Belgium to beat Wales 1/6:
Belgium have romped through this group with eight wins in nine matches and are unbeaten. They are obviously unbeaten at home and have won three in a row there. Wales have nine points with three wins and six defeats to their names in another disappointing attempt to qualify. They have lost three of four away games, only beating Scotland on the road. Against a magnificent Belgium side they should succumb easily.
Croatia to beat Scotland 13/10:
The only game that wanders out of odds on territory is this one. Scotland have struggled in qualifying and have won just twice. They have lost five games in this group and will be looking to put it behind them. Croatia have a play-off spot confirmed and will be hoping to take some momentum in to their crucial two leg affair. Scotland have not won at home in qualifying and have really struggled at Hampden. Croatia are unbeaten on the road in this group and will be hoping to finish off that way against a struggling Scotland.
France to beat Finland 1/5:
To a France side now who should have a play-off spot reserved but can push Spain for top spot. They have four wins in seven group matches only losing to Spain. At home they have won two of three matches and should do so again against a weak Finland side. Finland have won just twice in qualifying with far too many draws. Against a strong France side they should lose here.
England to beat Poland 2/9:
England should be safely through to Brazil but a win here will confirm it. They are unbeaten in this group with five wins and four draws. They have won three of four at home and won three in a row at Wembley. Poland just haven’t won enough in qualifying with just three wins in nine. They have only beaten San Marino away and against an England side needing a win to wrap things up they should lose.
Montenegro to beat Moldova 1/3:
Goal difference means even a win might not be enough for Montenegro to grab a play-off spot. However, they have lost just twice in qualifying and take on a side who have only beaten San Marino. On the road Moldova have lost three of four and should lose to a better Montenegro team.

Over 2.5 Goals Betting Tip for Tuesday's Football By Alex Peace
Over 2.5 Goals Betting Tip for Tuesday's Football: "Over 2.5 Goals Betting Tip – Tuesday 15th September
With the final round of World Cup Qualifiers on Tuesday, there should hopefully be lots of goals! We have three games we think will be packed with them. This over 2.5 goals gives odds of just over 5/1 "
Over 2.5 Goals Treble:
Norway v Iceland 23/20:
Starting in the cold North where hopefully some goals will warm everyone up. Iceland need a win to hold off Slovenia and secure a play-off spot while Norway have nothing to play for. Norway have conceded in eight of their nine qualifiers so far this campaign and in two of their three home qualifiers. Iceland have conceded in seven of theirs also, despite winning matches. I expect both teams to concede and with Iceland managing to score 16 in nine qualifiers, there should be goals. With Iceland needing a win but struggling to keep clean sheets, goals should fly here.
Turkey v Netherland 3/4:
The mountains of attacking talent available to the Dutch side has seen them safely in to the World Cup. Holland have scored 32 goals in just 9 qualifying matches. On the road though, only Andorra have failed to score against them, Estonia, Romania and Hungary all breaching their defense. Turkey need a win here to cement a play-off spot and have scored in all but two of their qualifiers. Both Romania and Hungary have come to Turkey and managed goals and with Holland’s attacking talent you’d expect them to grab a couple. With so much at stake for Turkey and Holland needing to go and attack, there should be goals.
Sweden v Germany 2/3:
These two sides are sorted with Germany through to the World Cup and Sweden safely in second. Every single one of Germany’s matches has seen over 2.5 goals with the Germans managing a huge 31 goals in the process. However on the road both Ireland and Austria have breached their defence. Sweden have managed 19 goals in their nine matches showing they certainly know where the net is. They have managed to score two in three of their home qualifiers and with two sides scoring so freely, we should have goals here.

Betting Tips England v Poland Prediction and Tips Tonight By Mike Kennedy
Betting Tips England v Poland Prediction and Tips Tonight : "England will secure their place at next year's World Cup in Brazil if they can overcome a Poland team playing with nothing to lose at Wembley on Tuesday night and we have football betting tip for the match."
While the Three Lions were able to put away Montenegro 4-1 at Wembley on Friday evening in a game which saw youth come to the fore, with a star-performance from debutant winger Andros Townsend, Poland succumbed to a 1-0 loss to Ukraine which put an end to their hopes of making it to Brazil.
After all the pre-match negative press about the shortcomings of the national side, England's victory was fairly comfortable in the end and means three points against the Poles will guarantee their participation in next year's finals ahead of Ukraine.
The sensational performance of Spurs winger Townsend, who's been enjoying a fine season on the right-wing for the North Londoners, was something to savour and, coupled with a promising display from Daniel Sturridge, seemed to somewhat reignite a hope in the strength coming through for the national side.
Townsend is certain to start in the decisive match against Poland and after opening his England account in style the youngster could be worth a tip to bag another - best priced at 11/1 for first goalscorer with Sky Bet.
The England boys can take to the field feeling somewhat confident in the knowledge that their World Cup 2014 destiny is in their own hands and they enter the game as 1/4 favourites. Back England for a 2-1 win at 10/1 with Ladbrokes.
However, there will certainly be no room for complacency as a slip-up would likely see Ukraine snatch top spot and so automatic qualification, while England would face the play-offs in November, since the Ukrainians would seem all but guaranteed a victory in their final game against winless minnows San Marino.
With Polish hitman Robert Lewandowski showing typically lethal form for club side Dortmund of late, he could be a good bet to snatch a goal for the visitors. Bet365 are paying at 9/2 on him as an anytime goalscorer.

Belgium vs Wales Betting Preview Prediction Football Tips By That's a Goal
Belgium vs Wales Betting Preview Prediction Football Tips: "Wales, who are no longer able to qualify for the coming World Cup travel to Belgium on Tuesday to try and salvage some pride from another poor qualification campaign and we have footbal betting tips for the match."
Belgium’s 2-1 win against Croatia on Friday means that they have already booked their place in Brazil and will themselves be playing for merely the icing on the cake. This Wales team which is without Gareth Bale are travelling to play one of the most backed teams for he 2014 World Cup, with punters convinced that their Golden generation have what it takes to upset some of the competitions more traditional favourites such as Brazil, Germany and holders Spain. Regardless of the unimportance of the game both teams are expected to field strong sides, with Craig Bellamy set to play his final game for the international side.
Belgium come into this game unbeaten in 2013, their 100% win record only halted by a 0-0 draw in a friendly against France. Wales on the other hand have won only 3 of their 8 games this year, losing 4. This statistic is more worrying when you realise they are yet to beat a team by more than one goal, and their victories have been against Scotland, Austria and Macedonia. After considering all of this it makes Paddy Power's odds of 12/1 for a Wales win understanding:
Considering that this is a game that probably means more to the Welsh than to the Belgians this isn’t a terrible bet. However, I still feel that Belgium have to much quality to be beaten by this Wales side. A straight Belgium to win bet doesn’t seem very attractive to me at 1/5 though, so my football tip if you fancy a risk is going to be a scorecast, once again with Paddy Power, go with Belgium to win 3-1 and Lukaku first scorer at 22/1.
For the more sensible gamblers though I’m going to suggest a bet with Coral on Kevin Mirallas first goalscorer at 4/1. He’s the highest scoring attacking player in the Belgium squad at the moment and I fancy him to start on Tuesday after coming off the bench against Croatia

Scotland v Croatia Prediction Betting Tips World Cup 2014 Qualifying By Lockup Tipster
Scotland v Croatia Prediction Betting Tips World Cup 2014 Qualifying: "It’s not quite the exciting climax that people were hoping for in Group A but we still have football betting tips for Scotland v Croatia on Tuesday. "
Courtesy of winning in Zagreb on Friday night, Belgium have taken top spot to leave Croatia having to make do with the runners-up position and a place in the playoffs.
Straight away it is easy to spot which team will be more motivated. Croatia will just look to get it over with and are unlikely to pick a full strength team, as they want to avoid seeing any players suspended for the playoffs.
As for Scotland, it is a match that they will be desperate to win. They have failed to do that in any game at Hampden during this qualification campaign, with two draws and two defeats the result of their endeavours. In fact, their last victory at home came just over two years ago, and they will want to send their fans home happy and show that progress is being made.
History suggests that the Scots are in with a good chance. There have been four meetings between the two countries, with Croatia not even winning one of them. There have been three draws, with one win for Scotland, which was their meeting in Zagreb last June that was won 0-1. That seemed to be a turning point in Strachan’s reign, and including that result, they have won two of their last three qualifying matches.
So with all that said, I think it is easy to see where I think the money is to be made. While I don’t see many goals in it, I think that Scotland will win by the narrowest of margins. While chances from open play can be hard to come by for them, they get excellent set piece play from Robert Snodgrass in particular, and he can be backed at 11/1 for first goalscorer. If Scotland do take the lead, I can see Croatia settling for a narrow loss and not pushing for an equaliser, and a 1-0 Scotland win can be backed at 10/1 with Coral. While Croatia move on to the games that matter, Scotland end their campaign with a flourish and send their crowd home with hope for the next qualifying campaign.

Turkey v Netherlands Betting Tips By Lockup Tipster
Turkey v Netherlands Betting Tips : "The Netherlands could be at the spoils of Turkey making the play offs if the Turks fail to win. A draw for Turkey will be enough if Romania fails to beat Estonia, so the permutations are clear, but can Turkey do the job?"
The Netherlands do not need to win, as they have already qualified, but the Turks need this more than anything, and have the most difficult task.
Turkey have only conceded seven goals in this campaign, with only Netherlands conceding fewer. Our opinion is that Turkey must go all out for the win, but Holland can counter attack, which makes us think there could be goals. The Netherlands have seen thirty-seven goals in their nine matches, averaging a shade over four per game, with Turkey seeing a total of twenty-three, thus a shade under three per game.
The bookies seems to think this will see at least three goals, all but one or two firms going under 4/5 for this, as short as 8/13 with Coral, so hoover up the 4/5 offered by the magic sign!

Lithuania vs Bosnia Herzegovina Betting Tips: "Bosnia have the chance to go to the World Cup and will be a landmark in the nation’s history to be a part of a centre-piece and anticipate they will not mess up versus Lithuania!"
Bosnia won this fixture 3-0 in the reverse fixture, with the Bosnian’s playing a superb campaign hovering up an impressive seven wins, one draw and one loss. In their campaign, just six goals have been conceded, and the Lithuanians have nothing but pride to play for. Bosnia -1 is a superb bet at evens with Paddy Power.
Our reasoning for a minus one is that Bosnia will want to win by two or more to secure and eliminate any doubt of a slip up.
Bosnia would have covered this handicap on all but two games in their campaign boasting an impressive 17 goal surplus in the goal difference stakes!

World Cup Qualifying Tips Bulgaria v Czech Republic Prediction By Lockup Tipster
World Cup Qualifying Tips Bulgaria v Czech Republic Prediction: "This game has a potential classic, as the Czech’s have to win, but this may not even be enough if Denmark beat Malta, which is highly likely."
Bulgaria need to win to edge Denmark out the contest, so do the Czech Republic actually have anything to play for in this context, or have they thrown the towel in?
There are arguments in the above paragraph that could suggest the Czech Republic have not done enough and could upset the Bulgarians chances of making the play offs, if they went out to win. I can reason with people that think that Czech republic will go out for the win in the event Denmark failed to win.
My belief is, if the Czech’s have thrown the towel in, what better favour to Bulgaria than put a weakened side out, as they look to re-build themselves for the Euro 2016 campaign, and then take the 11/8 on the home side.
Our view is, the game will be tight and anticipate a low scoring game in the event both teams are going for the win, and attacks get cancelled out!

Alcorcon vs Numancia betting tips 13 October 2013 Spain Segunda By Neuro
Alcorcon vs Numancia betting tips 13 October 2013 Spain Segunda: "Alcorcon is coming from a goalless draw away to Eibar last weekend in previous Segunda’s round. It was a poor performance from all players of Alcorcon, team that was rather lucky to get away with a point that day, after Eibar missing several really good opportunities during ninety minutes of game."
Draw away to Eibar once again indicated that the things aren’t perfectly well in Alcorcon and that the team struggles a lot away from their stadium in Madrid. Just one victory in last five matches aren’t giving much reasons for their fans to be happy, while coach Miguel Alvarez might not be having a safe position in case of negative results continuing. Still, the team is only four points away from second placed Murcia and the things might seen much better in case of a victory tonight in front of their own fans, where they played really good games this season. Their stadium “Santo Domingo” seems to be their biggest weapon as the target for tonight’s game remains victory which would improve their atmosphere so much. Good news for Alcorcon is that they have no absentees for tonight’s game and the players were prepared under the best possible conditions.
Numancia is coming into this game from a goalless draw against Sporing Gijon at home, as neither of two sides have showed really quality offensive performance. They might have deserved victory more, but still could have entered much worse problems during the game too, as they had to play last twenty five minutes with a man less, due exclusion of central defender Regalon.
Even though they didn’t score, Numancia showed another good performance at home and proved once again that they are very competitive against each side in Segunda. However, things aren’t looking that bright on the road, as the team has no victories in first four matches, while they are currently ranked at 15th position, with three points more than relegated placed Jaen. Visitors will have a few problems in front of this game, as left back Ripa (8/0) is questionable for tonight’s game, same as central midfielder Tomas (8/1) and left midfielder Perez (6/0). Striker Enrich (7/2) will probably be out, while central defender Regalon (6/1) serves his suspension.
Numancia have failed to win their last fifteen away matches in LIGA Adelante.
Alcorcon are undefeated in their last seven matches against Numancia.
Alcorcon remains favorite in front of their own fans even against much stronger sides than Numancia currently is, team that might be showing some signs of improvement, but that’s only when speaking about matches at their own home.

Palermo vs Pescara betting tips 13 October Italian Serie B By Neuro
Palermo vs Pescara betting tips 13 October Italian Serie B: "Palermo confirmed their weaknesses away from home once again, as they were limited to a draw away to Brescia last weekend. Visitors were behind in the scoreline from thirteenth minute with a goal from Caraccioli, while the visitors replied with a goal in 53rd minute by Belotti. Home side had a bit more of the game and although the draw was a fair result, they were still a bit closer to get the three pointer."
Coach Giuseppe Iachini spoke of admiration towards Pescara, saying that it’s a team with many very high profile players, with a good coach and all the conditions to end up very high at the table in the end of the championship. Still, he added that he doesn’t like that Palermo will have to play without five players due to international obligations, but still adding that he is confident the team will find a way to respond, finalizing the interview with the sentence that they mustn’t let Pescara exploiting their counter attacks. Midfielder Verre (2/0) and striker Belotti (2/1) are with Italian U21 team, while goalkeeper Ujkani (no participation anyway) is with Albanian squad, defender Andjelkovic (4/1) with Slovenian and finally, striker Hernandez (7/5) is with Uruguayan national team. Dybala and Lafferty are expected to lead attack in a 4-3-1-2 formation.
Pescara, on the other side, is also coming from a draw 1:1 against Spezia at their own stadium on Tuesday night. Hosts opened the scoreline with a goal from Cutolo in 29th minute, but couldn’t hold their lead and conceded in 57th minute with a goal from Bovo. Still, has to be said that the game was a very equal one, with draw being fair result.
General manager Repeto has said that the club’s board continues to have full confidence in the team and the coach, although they understand that the club has to perform at much better level. On the other hand, coach Marino has spoke of injuries and how unlucky the team was till now in the season. He also added that Palermo is the squad with the strongest roster in the league, one of rare that is capable of covering their absentees. Visitors also have a few problems in front of this game, as winger Ragusa (8/1) is suspended for today’s game, while injured are goalkeeper Pelizzoli (6/0) and offensive players Piscitella (4/0) and Sforzini (no participation yet). Defensive midfielder Viviani (4/2) is with the Italian U21 squad, while central defender Zuparic (no participation yet) and Cosic (4/0) are also on international duties. Questionable for this game are midfielder Nielsen (8/1) and striker Maniero (8/4).
Pescara didn’t win in last seven matches played.
Palermo remains favorite even with some players missing, as Pescara simply doesn’t look like a real team early in the season and furthermore, has more absences than the home side. Easy or hard, strongest roster in the league should prevail.
Bet: Palermo Wins

Palermo remains favorite even with some players missing, as Pescara simply doesn’t look like a real team early in the season and furthermore, has more absences than the home side. Easy or hard, strongest roster in the league should prevail.
Bet: Palermo Wins
Deportes Tolima vs Santa Fe betting tips 13 Oct by Mrgol
Deportes Tolima vs Santa Fe betting tips 13 Oct by Mrgol: "Important missings for guests in this match. Santa Fè will be without regualr keeper Vargas, Valdes ( def.26 3g), Roa ( def.29+3 1g) and joint topscorer Cuero (7g)."
Two key missings in defensive sector just in the day in which hosts recover joint topscorer Monsalvo ( 8g)
Both teams in bad trend, but with no problems of missings for hosts, and home factor ( they are undefeated in five home rounds), Tolima is favuourite to win

Wellington vs Brisbane betting tips 13 Oct by Armchairpunter
Wellington vs Brisbane betting tips 13 Oct by Armchairpunter: "Wellington Phoenix had finished last year the with 27 POiNTS in the bottom of the table (7 Wins - 6 Draws - 14 Loses). Brisbane Roar had finished the league with 35 POiNTS in 5th place (10 Wins - 5 Draws - 12 Loses)."
The home team Wellington Phoenix will be without a host of regulars with Glen Moss, Andrew Durante, Leo Bertos and Jeremy Brockie on international duty for New Zealand. Louis Fenton and Lewis Italiano will miss with injuries, while striker Paul Ifill is carrying a hamstring injury that could force him to miss this match (doubtful).
This will be a big test of the Wellington Phoenix’s squad depth. Home form has always been the key to Wellington Phoenix’s success. But the international clash this round robs the team of his New Zealand internationals of the home team.
Brisbane Roar heads into the season with adding former captain McKay, Dimitri Petratos, Ferreira and Liam Miller to a solid squad that retains dynamic duo Thomas Broich and Besart Berisha. Brisbane Roar enjoyed a strong pre-season with wins against Central Coast, Melbourne Victory, Melbourne Heart and Sydney FC.
Brisbane Roar have a good record against Wellington Phoenix. Berisha and CO. won 6 of last 9 games against the home side. Last game between the two sides in this pitch had ended with 1-1 SCORE. the goal of Brisbane Roar came from Berisha. Wellington Phoenix is playing at home good but they will miss many players in this match. It will be very difficult for the home side to stop the strong Brisbane Roar forward line in this match. Brisbane Roar should win this game.
Score Prediction: WELLiNGTON PHOENiX 1-3 BRiSBANE ROAR

DC United vs Philadelphia Union betting tips 13 Oct by Mrgol
DC United vs Philadelphia Union betting tips 13 Oct by Mrgol: "I don't understand these odds, DC United has already ended the season, trainer declares that will use remaining matches to test solutions with more then an eye to next season. Anyway they have also a couple of regulars out anyway and considering the stress after the win of US Open Cup this at home should be a sort of celebration."
Crucial match for Philadelphia, that should reshuffle something in defense with the absences of Fabinho ( 8+4) and Williams ( 30), but seems that the approach to this match will be so different to justify a bet on guests specially considering these odds.Pick Philadelphia Union to win.

Barnet vs Wrexham betting tips 13 Oct by Losgalaxytos
Barnet vs Wrexham betting tips 13 Oct by Losgalaxytos: "The former Juventus player, Edgar Davids as player-manager last year in Barnet, but he could not prevent his team were relegated to the Conference. They continue to this season with Edgar Davis again."
Barnet impresses not violently Conference either, and standing with 21 points from 14 matches, which held a 11th place before this fixture.They have two straight draws on away.
Jake Hyde will be out for this game with an ankle ligament injury but Lopez scored four times in five games during a brief loan spell last season and he is available to face Wrexham on Sunday.
Wrexham even worse off with 15 points and 19th place. They took their first win in the last five games when Southport was beaten 1-0 at home last weekend.
Wrexham have a very poor form with 1-1-5 away from home, and Barnet deserve better places with Edgar Davids in this league.My choice will be home win in this fixture.

Ethiopia vs Nigeria betting tips 13 Oct by Sureseye
Ethiopia vs Nigeria betting tips 13 Oct by Sureseye: "On paper, this fixture looks the most unbalance going by the expected class differnence."
Ethiopia have improved a lot since the last time they played at the AFCON this year. Their strength and team work is what I admire a lot. Nigeria met with Ethiopia in a dicey situation at the AFCON and it was Moses's darting runs and brilliance that ensured Nigeria were better from two penalties. Ethiopians were shaky but played nice for most part of the game and anyway gave 'respect' for the 'giant of Africa'. Ethiopia posed great results at the qualifiers winning their last two matches by 2-1 having to cme from a goal behind in the two matches (South Africa were in a 'must-win' quest but lost 2-1 when they visited Ethiopia, won troubled CAR who had to play their home matches away). They won four out of Six of their qualifier matche and only a 3-point deduction by FIFA made their qualification a bit sterner. Expectations of fans in the high-altitude country is high and most are expecting an upset in this match. Coach Sewnet Bishaw will be without forward Getaneh Kebede who is probably their best player, missing with a nagging ankle injury. Saladin Said Ahmed is set to spearhead the attack in Kebede's absence after Ahmed, like Kebede, scored four of Ethiopia's eight goals in qualifying from Group A.
Nigeria decided to fly a day before this match so as to cushion the altitude effect but they also have to play against the Ethipians 12th man and the home advantage which is notable in African football.
Nigeria are playing some nice football at the moment; strings of passes are beginning to articulate and character is been built in the team. Team is studded with player plying their trade in Europe as Chelsea man Mikel Obi dictates the pace for Nigeria matche, often creatively calming match tempos. Ambrose and Echiejile are quality defenders who often overlap to support the attack and the attack is where any coach will have positive problem of who to field; Ahmed Musa (CSKA Moscow, Russia); Brown Ideye (Dynamo Kyiv, Ukraine); Shola Ameobi (Newcastle United, England); Emmanuel Emenike (Fenerbahce FC, Turkey); Obinna Nsofor (Lokomotiv Moscow, Russia); Uche Nwofor (SC Heerenveen, Netherlands). One man certain of starting in attack is powerful and consistent Emmanuel Emenke. Going by previous squads, coach Keshi can count on his best for this match.
Keshi had declared that anything other than a defeat will be a bad result for Nigeria and from experience usually plays for draw under this circumstance. Ethiopians team might largely contain home nationals but are greatly fancying their chance and have put all hands on deck. A tactical game is expected in one which I expect Nigeria to be more on the receiving end, probably after squaring in the game will have to defend in mass; 1-1.

Tunisia vs Cameroon Betting Tips Africa soccer By Wilson
Tunisia-Cameroon vs Cameroon (to qualify) pick in Africa soccer : "For one and simple reason, Tunisia never deserved to play the play-off of African WCQ. They actually finished at the 2nd position in the group with Equatorial Guinea, Sierra Leonne and Cape Verde. They were actually out of the competition after the 0-2 defeat at home against Cape Verde last month but sadly Cape Verdians put a unregistred player and FIFA gave the 3-0 win for the Tunisians wich means Tunisia reached the 1st place."
I followed Tunisia in the group stage, they had somenarrow wins against some medicore teams like they failed to win in Sierra Leonne or Equatorial Guinea, they also were not so convincing at home at all with some narrow wins 3-1 & 2-1 against both EQ.Guinea and S.Leonne. I was not convinced by Tunisia and i'm still not...
Cameroon also were not in great mood, neither in great form, They failed to qualify for the both Cup of Nations 2012 and 2013. They will try to advance for the world cup, i must admit Cameroon were not brillant at all but they also had an harder group, with Togo who did a good African Cup of Nations, Libya and also good team of DR Congo. The squad has also some individual quality and good team all in all i'm sure in both legs they will be able to kick out Tunisia.

Football Accumulator Betting Tips this Weekend Acca Tips Saturday By Adam Hunter
Football Accumulator Betting Tips this Weekend Acca Tips Saturday: "Love them or hate them, International week is here, which means a vastly reduced Football League fixture list, with even the likes of Scunthorpe v York being postponed for international call ups... no, me neither. Here is an accumulator treble tip at good odds for the Football league this Saturday."
Saturday Accumulator Tip
Peterborough to win at Port Vale
Quite simply i think Posh are the best side in this division and backed that theory up with a comfortable 2-0 home win against previously unbeaten Preston last week. They've won 8 from 10 in the league and have won 4 from 5 away. They have always been able to score goals under Darren Ferguson but now look much tighter at the back, a potent combination. Vale have had a solid but unspectacular start and should find it tough this Saturday.
Brentford to beat Stevenage
Stevenage are pretty awful to put it bluntly, they have lost their last 4 league games, haven't won in 6 and have scored just 3 goals in that period. They also have a woeful home record with just 1 point from their first 4. Brentford will be slightly disappointed with their start but still sit in 10th place and have performed better on the road this season, winning their last 2 and scoring 6 goals in the process. Evens is a cracking price for the Bees this Saturday.
Oxford to beat Northampton
The home side are 19 places above their visitors on Saturday and yet you can still back them at even money with some bookies, which seems serious value. Oxford haven't been too strong at home but that may be down to playing some of the better teams in the division there already this season. Northampton had lost their first 4 away games of the season before winning 2-0 at Wimbledon last Saturday, also scoring their first away goals of the season in the process. That result may be why you can get such decent odds on Oxford, but it was the exception rather than the rule.

Accumulator Tip for Saturday's Football By Alex Peace
Accumulator Tip for Saturday's Football.: "There might not be any action in the Championship or Premier League due to the international break but there is still plenty from League One and Two. This accumulator gives odds of just under 24/1."
Accumulator Betting Tip:
Leyton Orient to beat MK Dons 13/10:
After their staggering start to the season Orient have slowed down a bit in their last two games, drawing them both. However they are still unbeaten in League One and sit top. They have won four of their five home matches and away specialists Walsall could only take a point off them last time out at The Matchroom Stadium. Dons currently sit just outside the play offs and have won two of their last five. However they are struggling on the road with just one win to their names away from Stadium MK. They have lost their last two away from home and against a good Orient side should be beaten.
Peterborough to beat Port Vale 11/10:
Hoping Orient slip up are Peterborough who currently sit second. Travelling to Port Vale they are unbeaten in their last five winning four in a row. On the road they have not lost this season and have won four of their five matches. Port Vale haven’t been doing badly of late with three wins in their last five matches. At home though they have won just twice this season and struggled when a strong Wolves side came to town. Port Vale may not be a bad side but up against a Peterborough in great form they may struggle.
Preston to beat Crewe 8/15:
Finally from League One Preston. They lost last time out against Peterborough and will be determined to bounce back. Before that defeat they had won five matches in a row and were looking good for a promotion place. They still do and sit fifth and are currently unbeaten at home. They have won three and drawn two matches at Deepdale, winning three in a row as well. Crewe are struggling of late and sit 21st in the league. Crewe have won just once this season and without a win in their last seven. They have lost five of their last seven matches and are really struggling. On the road they have lost four of their five matches and are without a win. Preston will be looking to bounce back and should do against a struggling Crewe side.
AFC Wimbledon to beat Accrington 4/6:
Wimbledon take on Stanley hoping to bounce back from two consecutive defeats. The Dons have won 4 of their last 7 matches and are in far better form than Accrington. At home they have won four of their five matches and are far better than Stanley. The Lancashire club are really struggling, they are yet to win this season and have just two points. They have lost four of their five away games and have scored just twice on the road. Wimbledon are a decent side at this level but against a team as bad as Accrington, they should pick up three points.
Mansfield to beat Bristol Rovers 10/11:
Newly promoted Mansfield have exceeded expectations with them sitting in a play-off spot. They have lost just twice in the league this season and have won three of their last four matches. They have won two of their last three games at home and will fancy another here. Rovers are without a win in their last five matches and are yet to win away from home this season. With Mansfield hoping to secure a play-off spot they should beat struggling Rovers.
Leyton Orient to beat MK Dons 13/10:

Rotherham vs Swindon betting tips 12 October League One England By Isaiah
Rotherham vs Swindon betting tips 12 October League One England: "Rotherham passed victorious from the seat of Brentford as one goal from Bradley in fourteenth minute was enough to get all three points. Visitors started strong, surprising Brentford players, while the game became hard from fourteenth minute on, as the home side tried to find a respond, but didn’t succeed till the end of the game."
Things to be even better, Rotherham also won on the road against York in the Carling Cup with the result of 3:0. With this victory they have secured the qualification to the next round, but have also boosted their morale even further. Coach Steve Evans was satisfied after the game, saying that his team has deserved to get the victory, as they played great in both halves, indicating that the team is in excellent form. The team wants to continue the momentum and climb even more at the table, as they are currently at sixth position and will surely be looking to get the play-off ticket at least. Steve Evans will not be able to count at winger Worrall (3/1) and defender Davis (3/0) who are ruled out due to injuries, while defender Arnason (8/0) won’t perform in this game being on international duty with Iceland.
Swindon has also earned a narrow 1:0 victory at home over Tranmere last weekend, as the game itself didn’t offer much of a good football between two teams. N’Guessan scored the winning goal in 29th minute, while the team continued their good form with a 2:1 victory over Plymouth few days later in Carling Cup competition.
Coach Mark Cooper was pleased with the image of his players despite he made several changes from the original squad, saying that it was great that the team didn’t lose despite the changes. He added that everything that matter is the result, adding that Jack Barthram is a solid player and fully convinced him for matches to come. Main goalkeeper Foderingham (9/0) has overcome his viral infection and will be available for today’s game, while defender Thompson served his suspension and will be available too, with midfielders Mason (5/4), Smith (2/0) and Tijane (2/0) being all ruled out with injuries.
Swindon have lost 8 of their last 10 away matches in League 1.
Rotherham have seen over 2.5 goals in 5 of their last 6 matches against Swindon in all competitions.
Rotherham is rightfully favorite in this game, not only because of their great form lately, but because of the visitors that have collected only point in last five matches on the road. Odds are more than satisfying and offer us extra safe option.
Bet: Rotherham (0) Asian handicap

Exeter vs Hartlepool betting tips 12 October League Two England By Isaiah
Exeter vs Hartlepool betting tips 12 October League Two England: "Exeter is coming into this game off two very good performances in last several days, as the team have climbed up at the table and will now search for another positive result against Hartlepool, team that is also on the rise. However, home side has their own rules in front of their crowd, as the teams plays more than well scoring with ease."
In a local derby last weekend against Plymouth at home, Exeter stayed to a goalless match till the 56th when Davies scored the first goal, with the visitors replying three minutes later. However, in last ten minutes of the match, home side showed great determination scoring goals by Gow and Bennett, players who wrote the final 3:1 result. It was their fourth victory in last six matches having a record of a draw and a defeat more, while the team overall counts 6-2-2 record and are only two points away from the leading position in League Two. They have four victories out of five games played at home and no question that their target is another three pointer in front of the home crowd. Striker O’Flynn (7/3) is set to return after overcoming the injury due which he didn’t play last two matches, while striker Parkin (7/2) is questionable, while central midfielder Oakley (8/0) suffers from injury.
For team of Hartlepool this will be third consecutive game that will be players away from their fans, while the team did more than well in previous two matches gathering two victories. Firstly they won over Mansfield 1:4, then defeated Sheffield United (team that is one league above0 with a narrow 0:1 victory in Carling Cup competition.
Despite these two victories, they still remain pretty low at the table having currently 2-3-5 record. On the bright side, their form is very well at the moment as the team has two victories, a draw and a defeat in last five matches. Veteran striker Howard (37 years, 7/0 this season) remains suspended for this game too, already serving two, while midfielder Walker (6/0) returns to the squad after overcoming the injury. Central defender Baldwin (10/0) serves suspension today, with the team already having enough problems at the back, being the team that conceded the most goals from penalty spot (three times) due to careless play.
Exeter is entering this game being in a very good condition and from two great performances they have climbed up to only two points difference from the leading position. Hartlepool remains underdog in this game, but will surely be more than competitive as their performances are also in up-trend. Both teams to score seems like the most logical choice at more than decent odds.

Fleetwood vs Chesterfield betting tips 12 October League Two England By Isaiah
Fleetwood vs Chesterfield betting tips 12 October League Two England: "Fleetwood returned to winning ways last Saturday as the team managed to get a victory on the road against Bristol Rovers with the score of 3:1. First half was pretty boring, without much of the creativity from neither of the sides, while Fleetwood was slightly better, something that they improved even further in the repetition."
Guests opened the scoreline in 64th minute and even though Rovers have equalized two minutes later and the game was looking to be heading to a draw, the visitors continued to push for the goal, taking the victory in last minutes of the game with two goals scored. It was a fairly deserved victory, as the team managed to get fifth victory on the road this season out of seven games. Their good form was continued with a 4:0 victory over Crewe at home during the midweek in the Carling Cup game. The team seems to be in excellent form at the moment, having currently only a point less than league leaders from Chesterfield.
Manager Graham Alexander isn’t having big problems for today’s derby game against Chesterfield, as the only doubtful players for the home side are striker Gareth Evans usual full back Stephen Jordan, while all the other players are fully fit for the game.
Chesterfield, on the other hand, had to leave the pitch with bowed head on Saturday evening as they lost to Morecambe with the score of 4:3. They had complete control in the first halftime, taking a 3:0 lead already after twenty three minutes of the game, however absolutely different image was seen in the second half.
Morecambe came on the pitch once again fully determined to play all or nothing, risking to concede the fourth goal for the whole second half. However, riskier approach payed them of a lot, as the hosts managed to score four goals in the repetition and turnover the game upside down making a major upset in a great style. Everyone in Chesterfield was left shocked after the game, while the coach Paul Cook said that the team showed two different faces and that the players lacked passion and clear mind in the second half. It was a second straight loss for the team, while they bounced back with a 1:0 victory over Mansfield at home in a Curling Cup game. Important striker Richards (7/2) will be absent due thigh injury, same as substitute striker Armand Gnanduillet (6/2) who has a swollen knee. Out of the game remains winger Roberts (9/4) who is suspended.
Last three matches of Fleetwood ended as over 2.5 goals.
It’s never easy to make predictions for derby games, but Fleetwood and Chesterfield have shown to be among the best sides in the league, especially Fleetwood that convinced a lot in most recent performances and will surely be closer to get the victory. However, Chesterfield has to respond after two consecutive losses in league and will surely also be opting for attacking formation, making both teams to score very probably outcome.
Bet: Both teams to score

Wycombe vs Torquay betting tips 12 October League Two England By Isaiah
Wycombe vs Torquay betting tips 12 October League Two England: "Wycombe suffered their second home defeat in the new season as the team lost to Burton Albion 1:2 last Saturday. First halftime was pretty tight, but Burton managed to take the lead with a goal in twenty seventh minute. Home side tried to react, but stood with a man less at the beginning of the second halftime, following exclusion of left back Dunne and couldn’t make much more in the attacking part of the game."
Four minutes later, the team have conceded the second goal, while the visitors were all over the field from then on getting a easy victory although their lead was reduced in the injury time. It was another consecutive defeat for Wycombe, as the team dropped at the table to mediocre 13th position currently with a 4-2-4 record. Coach Ainsworth blamed referees a bit for their latest defeat, while he also added that the red card negatively impacted on whole team and they couldn’t find ta rhythm until the end. However, last Tuesday his team returned to winning ways with a 2:1 victory over Bristol City in Carling Cup at home.
Left back Dunne (5/0) is suspended for this game, while their top scorer Morgan (7/5) is injured and won’t perform. On the bright side, defender Johnson (8/0) returns from injury and will be included into the lineup. Recovered are also forward Pittman (4/0) and striker McClure (7/2).
Torquay experienced bitter home defeat last Saturday as they hosted York but couldn’t get anything out of the game but a 0:3 defeat. First halftime ended goalless, with hosts being a bit more superior, but missing the crucial chances to score. York proved to be way more relaxed in the second halftime and have scored three goals from 53rd to 73rd minute for the final victory.
Defeat against York was their fourth loss in last five matches, as the team slipped down to twenty first position at the table and now have only one point more than relegating placed Northampton. Coach Alan Knill has said that the first goal conceded changed the flow of the game, admitting that their defense was absent on three occasions and that it’s something they have to improve very soon as eighteen goals conceded gives them the place of second worst defense in the league. Visitors aren’t having much of good news in front of the today’s game as they will miss defender O’Connor (1/0), but also striker Bodin (9/0). Sidelined due to injury remain main defender Downes (8/1), irreplaceable midfielder Harding (10/0), while striker Ball (9/2) is also unavailable. Things to be worse, substitute striker Thompson (2/0) is also out together with couple of more players that didn’t participate yet this season. Goalkeeper Poke could return to the squad, although he didn’t perform since April following an injury.
Torquay suffered three consecutive defeats await from home.
Even if the visitors were coming with a fully fit squad, it would be still very hard for them to get points here. However, with absences at several key positions, they will be probably happy to leave the field with a narrow loss. Logical favorite is the home side, while the odds are expected to drop during the day.

Albania vs Switzerland betting tips 11 October WC Qualifiers By Neuro
Albania vs Switzerland betting tips 11 October WC Qualifiers: "Albania is entering this game with the last chances of hoping to get the second spot in this qualifying group, as the team needs the victory desperately. They are currently fifth at the table, but with only three points less than second placed Iceland and still can get the play-off ticket in case of two victories in next four days."
No doubt that they will have to be very lucky and other results will have to work in their favor, but for the start they will have to win over Switzerland to keep the chances alive. However, matches played in September have narrowed their chances a lot as the team suffered two defeats: away to Slovenia and away to Iceland, both with one goal difference. No doubt that the game against Switzerland will attract a lot of attention in Albania, even if the game had no competitive meaning to the home team as six players in Switzerland squad have Albanian roots. No doubt that the home team will be fully motivated for this game, wanting to obtain three pointer tonight, while they have no serious injury or suspension worries except veteran striker Bogdani.
Switzerland, on the other side, stands first at the table with five points more than second placed Iceland and will surely want to win tonight and finish the questions regarding their ticket to Brazil 2014. In any other case, they would complicate their lives a bit more, but would still be in commanding position and would keep the destiny in their hands.
They could even lose both remaining matches and would still get the first position, as long as Iceland or Slovenia don’t earn all six points out of two remaining rounds. In any way, they will be awaiting Slovenia in the last match and surely have lots of chances to finish as the first team. They are coming from a 2:0 victory away in Norway, which was one of the major results in the qualifying group that brought them to a such a good position. Midfielder Liechtsteiner from Juventus is injured for this game, while striker Gavranovic wasn’t called up this time. On the other side, midfielder Derdiyok from Leverkusen is coming back into the team, same as central defender Djourou from HSV. It’s still to be seen whether the players with Albanian roots will play in this game, although it might be a bit too much for all six not to play a single minute.
Switzerland didn’t lose in last twelve matches.
No doubt that the Albanian squad will be fired up for this game, but at the same time Swiss remains slight favorite and surely, much more quality side, even if they don’t field up some/or all of their players. Both teams to score gather much more chances than the bookmakers have set the chances as open game from both teams is expected in all ninety minutes.

Sweden vs Austria betting tips 11 October WC Qualifiers By Gustav
Sweden vs Austria betting tips 11 October WC Qualifiers: "Sweden didn’t play very well in their most recent official match, but still managed to earn a fair victory away from home against Kazakhstan 1:0 back in September. They have scored in the first minute of the game, had many opportunities to reach the second goal, but remained playing without real offensive sharpness."
At least, home side threatened very little and basically had no chance for the equalizer. Prior to that game, they have won away from home against Republic of Ireland with the score of 2:1, taking a very strong lead for the second position in the group. After two victories in September, team is now at second position with seventeen points earned, five less than firstly placed Germans, but more important – they have three points more than third placed Austria, which means that in case of a victory, Sweden would secure the second spot tonight. Home coach Erik Hamren will be without midfielder Ekdal, as well as central defender Antonsson due to suspension. Kallstrom is expected to start instead of Ekdal, while Antonsson will be replaced by Granqvist probably. Ibrahimovic will lead the attack from the first minute.
Austria, on the other side, is entering this game being in a must win situation as only victory will grant them staying in the race for the second position. In case of a draw they would also keep the chances, but will heavily depend on the game between Sweden and Germany in the last match-day in four days.
At the beginning of September they lost easily away to Germany 3:0, but improved morale with a narrow 1:0 victory at home over Ireland later on. David Alaba scored the only goal six minutes before the final whistle, bringing much deserved victory to the home team who were a superior opponent during the game. However, the team continues to be very unconvincing when playing away from home as they have only two victories in last twenty one game abroad. Last victory away from home was back in 1996, while the team counts numerous setbacks on the road against teams such as Moldova, Malta or Luxembourg. Important midfielder Junuzovic is back in the team, while the team has problems with injured Fuchs and Baumgartlinger, therefore the team might be a bit limited with their defensive options, while the team should be field up in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Sweden has won last four official matches.
Sooner or later Austria will have to start playing a bit more openly and experienced and surely at least a bit better Swedish side will know how to exploit it led by Ibrahimovic. Home side will secure the second position tonight, easy or hard.

Portugal vs Israel betting tips 11 October WC Qualifiers 2014 By Neuro
Portugal vs Israel betting tips 11 October WC Qualifiers 2014: "Portugal was hosted by Northern Ireland at the beginning of September in their last group game, as the team from Southern Europe got a 4:2 fairly deserved victory. Four days later, they lost to Brazil in a friendly game playing without their biggest start Cristiano Ronaldo and lost with the 3:1 result, despite the fact that they had a lead early in the match."
Their victory away to Northern Ireland was deserved one, but they had problems playing with a ten man as striker Postiga got red carded two minutes before the half-time whistle. Even though the hosts took the 2:1 lead at the beginning of the second half, Portuguese side still managed to net three more goals and get a victory, which was helped with the fact that the hosts stood with a man less too in last thirty minutes of the match. Portugal is currently second at the table, with a point less than Russia and although their destiny isn’t clear, mathematics is more than clear for them: they have to win today and against Luxembourg in four days and hope for the setbacks of Russians who are point above them.
Striker Helder Postiga and left back Fabio Coentrao will miss the game due suspension, while midfielder Meireles isn’t counted due to injury. Changes are expected in defensive lineup, as defenders Joao Pereira, Bruno Alves and Miguel Lopez are all sidelined through injuries.
Israel disappointed in their last two qualifying matches early in September as they firstly welcomed Azerbaijan, but couldn’t defeat the underdogs leaving the pitch with a 1:1 result. Visitors scored in one of their small number of attacks and although the Israeli pressed a lot in next thirty minutes of the remaining time, they couldn’t achieve the victory.
Few days later, team deservedly lost with the 3:1 score away in Russia, while their biggest reason for losing the chances for the second spot remains the draw at home against Azerbaijan. Currently they have five points less than Portugal and everything except a victory tonight will leave them with no chances of going to Brazil. However, the team isn’t hoping for much, but rather seeing these two remaining games as a opportunity to prepare better for the next qualifications. Still, they won’t be going as a tourists and will surely try to build up from the match played in Israel when late goal of Portuguese saved them ending the game in a 3:3 draw. Benayoun is left out again, while the team has no bigger suspension or injury worries ahead of this game.
Last three matches of Portugal ended with both teams scoring.
Home side remains favorite in this game, but they neither worked very well in previous months. They should win and probably will, but absences in their defensive lineup doesn’t give them the right to be such a strong favorite as the bookmakers have rated them.

Ukraine vs Poland betting tips 11 October WC 2014 Qualifiers By Neuro
Ukraine vs Poland betting tips 11 October WC 2014 Qualifiers: "Ukraine comes from a goalless draw at home against England last month. Despite meaningless superiority on the field, as pressure of a important game brought nervous play from both team, neither of the teams had very good chances and both threatened very little getting an fair result in the end."
Situation in the group is very complicated now, as the English side has the lead and are at the first position, with only point more than Ukrainians and Montenegro, while Polish national team has two points less than them. Tonight’s game is crucial one for both sides, while the national team coach of Ukraine, Fomenko, who took over the national team in last December has kept the low profile and doesn’t want his team to underestimate Poland. Home side will have no absence for tonight’s game since defender Kucher and winger Husyev have overcame their injuries. It also means that striker Devic will lead the attack, together with offensive midfielders Gusev – Yarmolenko – Konoplyanka.
Poland crushed San Marino with the score of 5:1 away from home last month. The difference between two sides was huge, as young striker Zielinski from Udinese scored two goals and in more than a one sided game overall.
As said, Polish side is currently at fourth position at the table with three points less than England and two points less than Ukraine and Montenegro. However, even though they have still chances to qualify, atmosphere in the team isn’t at the best level, while media is a bit harsh with their criticism of national coach Fornalik, who according to them, isn’t worthy of the leading role in national team. Moreover, Polish defense wasn’t at their best in previous matches, as goalkeeper Boruc was exposed too many times in front of rival’s attackers. Central defender Glik from Torino served his suspension and is back in the team together with Levandowski who didn’t play in San Marino. Defenders Pisczek and Boenisch are out with injuries, same as midfielder Obraniak.
Ukraine didn’t lose last nine official matches.
Home side remains favorite in this match as the atmosphere inside the Polish locker room isn’t at it’s best, while their defenders aren’t very reliable.

Friday Treble Tip:
Ukraine v Poland Draw
Both these sides cannot afford to lose as they look to sneak into the top two of their World Cup qualifying group so a draw is the best bet here. Ukraine will settle for a point and held England to a draw last time. Poland have already drawn away against Montenegro and Moldova in this qualifying campaign and may have to settle for another point here, leaving them an almost impossible task to qualify for Brazil 2014.
Sweden to beat Austria
Sweden have won their last four matches and will secure a play-off place with a win here. They have kept clean sheets in each of their last three home matches while Austria haven’t won away from home in six attempts. They have only managed draws at Republic of Ireland and Kazakhstan and lost 3-0 in Germany so another defeat should be on the cards here to end their World Cup 2014 hopes.
Iceland to beat Cyprus
Iceland need to win this match to keep their place in 2nd place in their World Cup group and look sure to do so against a Cyprus side who have picked up just four points so far. Cyprus have lost their last seven competitive away matches and have failed to score in their last two.

Goals Galore Betting Tips Friday Both Teams to Score Tip: "Friday’s International matches gives us a chance to get another both teams to score winning tip and this one is over 8/1."
As always betting on both teams to score in International matches is tough so we have restricted our tip to a treble for Friday night, however if you want to add a couple of riskier selections to the three, go with Albania v Switzerland and Netherlands v Hungary to make it a 38/1 5-fold.
Friday Goals Galore Tip
Estonia vs Turkey
Both teams have scored in Estonia’s last four matches and that included a 2-2 draw with Netherlands. Turkey have netted in their last three away matches in World Cup 2014 qualifying and should have the attaching threat to at least score here.
Wales vs FYR Macedonia
Both sides are struggling and their recent meeting ended 2-1 to Macedonia so we expect both teams to score again. Three of Wales’ last four matches have seen both teams score in World Cup qualifying. Wales have only kept one clean sheet in their last ten home matches.
Slovenia vs Norway
Slovenia have scored in six of their last seven home matches but have only kept one clean sheet in their last four in World Cup 2014 qualifying at home. Both teams have scored in Norway’s last two away matches including a 4-2 defeat in Sweden. In World Cup qualifying both teams have scored in Norway’s last three away matches.

England vs Montenegro Prediction Betting Tips and Preview By Vio
England vs Montenegro Prediction Betting Tips and Preview: "First versus Third at Wembley on Friday night as The Three Lions host Hrabri Sokoli in a crunch match in Group H and we have got free football tips for England vs Montenegro."
With just one point between the two teams, a win for either will take them one step closer to Brazil 2014 and it’s England that are tipped for the win.
The much derided England team, despite their tumbling FIFA Ranking, have a pretty decent record over the last few years. In their last 42 matches their form reads W24 D14 L4 and Roy Hodgson has officially only lost one game (the penalty shootout defeat versus Italy counts as a draw) during his 20 game tenure, winning 11 and drawing eight. Despite England yet to record a victory in three encounters against Montenegro, that record should read as 12 victories come 10pm on Friday.
Both sides come into this with injury concerns but they pose more of a problem for the visitors as influential Juventus striker Marko Vucinic, keeper Mladen Bozovic, centre back Marko Basa and midfielder Miodrag Pekovic are all on the sidelines whilst Jovetic and Dzudovic remain doubts. They will still pose a threat going forward but the lack of defensive cover will surely tell and that's why we are offering England to win as a football betting tip.
You won’t get rich backing England at 2/5, and the odds on for England/England in the HT/FT Market are about as appealing as being told you’ve got spam on toast for tea. What does catch my eye however is 13/5 for England to win and both teams to score. With England expected to win it makes sense to bet on this market as they have only kept five clean sheets in their last 16 matches, with four of those coming against the home and away games against San Marino and Moldova. Three of the last four Montenegro’s matches have seen both teams’ score and at 13/5 it’s worth chancing our arm.
The anytime goalscorer market has thrown up a rather attractive proposition in the shape of Dejan Damjanović. Currently 11/2 to bag anytime, that looks too big for me given his scoring record for club and country. Not many will have heard of the Montenegrin forward as he has been plying his trade in the K-League since 2008 scoring 118 goals in 186 matches. He has brought this good form to the national team as well as he has scored five in 19 internationals and netted in the reverse fixture back in March. With Vucinic out, he’s likely to start and given the brittle nature of England’s defence he can take advantage of any opportunity that comes his way.
England vs Montenegro Betting Tips
England to win & both teams to score
Damjanović to score anytime
The much derided England team, despite their tumbling FIFA Ranking, have a pretty decent record over the last few years. In their last 42 matches their form reads W24 D14 L4 and Roy Hodgson has officially only lost one game (the penalty shootout defeat versus Italy counts as a draw) during his 20 game tenure, winning 11 and drawing eight. Despite England yet to record a victory in three encounters against Montenegro, that record should read as 12 victories come 10pm on Friday.

Wales vs Macedonia Prediction Football Tips for Friday By Jono Bate
Wales vs Macedonia Prediction Football Tips for Friday: "An injury ravaged Wales side will be entering their World Cup Qualifier against Macedonia on Friday without the likes of Gareth Bale, Joe Ledley and captain Ashley Williams and we have free football tips for the match."
There is also some doubt surrounding the free scoring Aaron Ramsey, who missed Tuesday’s training session.
Wales currently sit bottom of Group A, with just 6 points from their 8 games. Macedonia are just one place ahead of the hosts, with 7 points.
Chris Coleman’s men have been struggling for goals as of late, having not scored from open play since their last victory against Scotland way back in March. Pressure is mounting on Coleman after a 3-0 drubbing last time out at the hands of Serbia, and talks are still on-going on his future as the Wales boss.
Macedonia head in to the clash after suffering a home 2-1 home defeat to Scotland last time out. The visitors are also notoriously bad travellers, having not won away from home since August 2011.
In their only previous meeting last month, Macedonia came out on top with closely fought 2-1 victory in Skopje. Goals from Ivan Tričkovski and Aleksander Trajkovski either side of an Aaron Ramsey penalty were enough to see the hosts home.
Neither side are exactly prolific in front of goal, so expect a low scoring affair on Friday night. All bookies have under 2.5 goals at odds on with 4/7 the best available price. A win to nil may prove better value, with Wales at 11/4, and Macedonia at 9/2.
This one could quite easily end in a stalemate, with Bet Victor having a 0-0 draw at 15/2.
From recent performances and taking in to account injuries, 1 goal either way could settle the game at the Millennium Stadium on Friday evening.

Germany v Rep of Ireland Betting Prediction and Tips Tonight By Samuel Burton
Germany v Rep of Ireland Betting Prediction and Tips Tonight: "Friday night’s World Cup qualifiers offer a stern test for a manager-less Republic of Ireland who look to turn around their recent fortunes against a Germany side aiming to secure qualification to the World Cup finals in Brazil."
Top of Group C Germany are the obvious favourites for this match and the odds certainly reflect that as they can be found at a best price 2/11. For those who are willing to back the underdog this Friday though could be in for some fantastic winnings as Ireland come in at 21/1 to win in their visit to the Rein Energy Stadion, where a draw can also be backed at 15/2.
The Germans enter the game coming off the back of two comfortable 3-0 wins against Austria and the Faroe Islands, meaning confidence will be high in their squad and it's impossible not to back them in a free football tip. A win will guarantee qualification for Joachim Low’s side but a draw and possibly even a loss may also ensure they are through depending on the Sweden result. Republic of Ireland may well be worth backing as they travel out to Germany, no more Trappatoni could mean for a fresh impetus in the squad and with little else to play for but to earn their place under a new manager, it is difficult to write the Irish off. Caretaker manager Noel King will be hoping for the ‘luck of the Irish’ after skipper Robbie Keane sat out training on Wednesday as he looks for his captain to reignite their slimmest of hopes of making the Finals.
Many wouldn’t put it past the Germans to make it a hat trick of 3-0 victories and such result can be placed at best price of 29/4, as they look to seal off qualification in style. Though there are possibly other likely goal scorers in the side it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Mesut Ozil continue to ride his wave of form with Arsenal and aim to be the main man in the German side too and backing him as first goal scorer is best placed at 6/1.
Keane is expected to be fit for the game and he is Ireland’s most likely scorer and the Irish international veteran can be backed as first scorer at odds of 15/1 for a game which offers excitement as both teams look to not only gain a result, but to entertain for differing reasons.

Know opponent betting guide By Bettingadvice
Know opponent betting guide - Bettingadvice: "Know opponent
Before you start with online betting, it's very smart to gather som info about the "opposition", i.e the bookmaker. It's a good advice to follow this little checklist before placing your money in the bookmakers account:"
Reliability/Credibility.
Is it a recognised bookie ? A well known name, with a proven track record ? In other words: Is your money safe ? Check for words on the street, and among other punters. Is the bookie unreliable, or very late with his payouts, etc, then have a look elsewhere. Listen to the grapevine, and pay attention to what others have to say about the bookie.
Methods of payment.
The bookie should have several methods of payouts, not only by bank check, but also by credit cards. I find it most convenient using a credit card in all my transactions with bookies. It may be wise to open a new VISA account, separated from your salary-account.
Rules.
It's a must to know the rules in every game you play, and it's the same story here. Read the rules, and send an email and ask the bookie if you are unsure about something. Avoid bookies who do not accept singles. If the bookie only accepts trebles or doubles, find another. A few years ago, SSP only accepted 4 match parleys. Effectively, this is like telling the punter: " you can have a bet with us, but we will win in 99 of 100 bets". Luckily, competition in the bookmaking market has grown tougher, and as a result, most bookies these days offer singles on every game and in every sport.
Taxes.
Private bookmakers pay taxes to the country they operate in. In some countries, the bookie pay the punter's tax aswell as it's own taxes. When betting with online bookmakers, you should not accept taxes on your winnings. In England, the law states that punters must pay a tax of 9% on their winnings. Do not accept to pay taxes on your winnings, unless you are situated in Britain and with local bookmakers. (abide the law !!!). Online bookmakers do not charge taxes on a punters winnings.
Prices.
What kind of odds is your bookie offering ? How is the odds compared to what others offer on the same event ? Does the bookie change the odds a lot, and is the bookie presenting his prices for events early in the week ? Even though the bookies do alter their odds (often done on popular events, such as big soccergames, formula1, Championships, etc), you should get the odds which was offered at the time you placed your bet. If the bookie alter the odds on your event after you've placed your bet, and your odds changes as a result of this, go find another bookie. The bookie's behaviour is then nothing but unacceptable and he's not worthy an honest customer like yourself. Normally this is not a problem, but have been known to occur from time to time.
Maximum winnings.
Check if your bookie has got a very low maximum winnings. For the average punter, this is not important, but for the tough guys, who bet 10 grand rather than a tenner now and then, this can be of some importance.
Minimum deposits
Hopefully you will only have to deposit your hard-earned cash once, but it can be worth having a look at the bookies' rules regarding minimum deposits. Some bookies demand a fortune in deposits. Stay away from these vultures !
Events offered.
The worst thing a bookie can do, is not offering lousy prices. Infact, the worst thing is not offering you the opportunity to bet on an event. Some bookies only offer odds on the top leagues, and never bother about english 2. or 3. division, or Italian Serie B. Some don't even bother with Norwegian 1.division during the summer break in European leagues. It's a major "pre" if your bookie offer as many events as possible, not only soccer, but all kinds of sports. The clever bookie knows, ofcourse, that when many events are offered, the chances are that punters will bet on more events than they originally had in mind, thus increasing the bookies chance of profit. Private bookies do generally offer most events, while the national bookmakers in Norway, Sweden and Denmark only pick a handful of all matches available, and often exclude big favourites in their event lists. Centrebet and Interwetten are bookies who cover a large number of events every week. Do not accept bookies who only cover a few sports, and bookies who do not offer you the chance to bet on lower divisions, or who often exclude big favourites from their event list.

Betting exchange betting guide By Bettingadvice
Betting exchange betting guide - Bettingadvice: "What is a betting exchange?
To place bets on a bet exchange has become quite popular, due to the fact that you bet against other punters, not against a bookmaker. YOU can choose to be either a bookmaker (offering odds on an event for others to bet on), or to bet as an ordinary punter (you place bets on an event where others have offered the odds)."
In order to do this effectively, you need a place to gather all punters and "bookmakers" in one marketplace, the bet exchange. This works just like a stock exchange (a meeting place for traders). Actually the bet exchange works very much the same way. The bet exchange websites have software which will keep all the "lays" and "backs" in order.
The common terminology is "lay" and "back" (or, to make it easier: "sell" and "back"). If you decide to act like a bookmaker, you will "lay" an offer out on the bet exchange for others to bet on. This is the way bookies normally do it. They "lay" bets out on their websites, for others to bet on (or "back").
As you would expect, the bet exchange website will charge a certain percentage in retur for their service. This percentage can vary, but a well known, and excellent bet exchange like Betfair charges only 5% on the winning amount (winners must pay 5% off their winnings). This is ofcourse considerably lower than the bookmakers, who operate with a 10-20% profitmargin.
A bet exchange, something for you?
DO NOT BET BEFORE YOU UNDERSTAND THE GAME.
Make sure you have read and understood the rules before you start acting as your own bookmaker. A betting exchange, like Betfair, is a company who do not accept bets themselves, but they do instead offer the facilities for other punters to place bets with eachother. If you fancy a shot on being a bookmaker, then you should definitivly give this concept a try.
A betting exchange will remove the profit margin factor, which very often will favour the bookmaker. In a sports betting exchange you will generally get better odds, due to this fact.
But be ware that you may lose quite a bit of money if you act as a bookmaker, and that you therefore need to have some funds in your account to cover all your potential loss when making a "lay-order".
Another thing is that, even if you don't want to act as a bookmaker (don't want to "lay" bets), you can act as a normal punter, and bet on the offers other have "layed" ! And the best thing: you'll most likely get better odds on a bet exchange than with a bookmaker, because on bet exchanges, there is no profitmargin calculated in the odds presented.
Most betting exchanges operate to around a 101 per cent book on most high-profile events, which compares favourably to a typical 105-110 per cent overround when comparing the best prices on fixed-odds firms on most football matches.
The back/lay prices on a particular event are determined by punters themselves - players can attempt to place a bet at any price they wish so the equilibrium is effectively created by supply and demand.
Because commission is only charged on net profits on a single market, exchange players are able to hedge positions and benefit or suffer from swings in the market.
If a punter places a bet on Arsenal at 5/6 and the price moves into 4/5, he or she can lay off their bet, locking in profit, but if the price drifts to 9/10 to close off the book would involve accepting a loss.
Alternatively, if the punter changes his or her mind for whatever reason, he or she can manoeuvre the position on the market without being affected by the margins of standard bookies.
Most big events are extremely competitive - nearly £10 million was matched on Betfair's outright Premiership market last season for example, while live games regularly see over £1 million changing hands.
Exchanges tend to offer prices in the European decimal format.
Decimal odds incorporate the stake into the price, so evens becomes 2.0 (1/1 plus the single unit stake) and 2/1 becomes 3.0 etc.
