Today's main game is Italy - Switzerland without any doubts. Direct fight for 1st place in group. Here I'm backing Italy to win and qualify to World Cup directly.
According to bookmakers, Austria is favorites against Israel, but I'm not sure about it. In last game Israel won big - 5:2, so, probably I'll skip this game or put over 2.5.
Andorra - Poland and Denmark - Faroe Islands, prepare for many goals. Maybe not 9 like yesterday, but I think we can see 5 or 6 goals in these games.
Hungary - San Marino is also similar game, but I'm not sure that Hungary is able to score so many goals. Same about Scotland against Moldova.
Don't forget England vs Albania match, England must be able to get full points in order to stay away from Poland and Albania. In group I the competition is very tight, England and Poland have not lost at all and Albania only lost 2 times from Poland.

The competition for advancing to the World Cup is still going on very closely in the Group G:



Turkey are chasing Norway and Norway are trying to run away from them. They both won their last two games. And in four days, Turkey are going to play a home game against Gibraltar. And Norway are going to play a home game against Latvia. Turkey have a really easy task to do. Gibraltar are one of the most terrible teams of this tournament. They are not much different than San Marino. So Turkey should be able to demolish them. And when it comes to Norway, Haaland is still injured but Sorloth seems to be back. Latvia are another weak team in the group and I don't expect Norway to make a mistake here.
Norway still has the advantage. They are 2 points ahead of Turkey, what means even though Norway achieves a tie against Latvia they will be able to score 18 points, that would be the same score of Turkey in case they win against Gibraltar. If that happens Norway will be still in second place taking the goal difference in consideration.

The only problem for Norway on this scenario is that they still have a game against Netherlands, the most difficult team of the group, while Turkey will have to deal only with the weak Montenegro team.

It is true that Norway still have a really tough game against Netherlands. And the game is going to be played in Rotterdam also which is another disadvantage for Norway. Until that game, Turkey have no choice other than winning their remaining games. And let's say there is still a 2-point gap with Norway then. Netherlands will have to win against Norway while Turkey will be having the same obligation against Montenegro to take the second place and qualify for the World Cup. I remember that Turkey drew with Montenegro by 2-2 before. But in this case, Turkey should be able to get a clear victory.

Romania and Portugal destroyed my almost winning tickets with their boring 0:0 draws, and I didn't watch Portugal match but Romania had so many shots on goal and domination against Iceland but couldn't put the ball in the end.
I don't know if Ronaldo was sleeping for Portugal or what  Cheesy

I was expecting Romania to win against Iceland. They performance was good, and they even dominated the match. But, it seems like Iceland had a solid defence which made it difficult to Romania to score. However, drawing the match, resulted to Romania losing their position to North Macedonia. They are now at the 3rd place.
While Portugal also made me lose my bets. I gave them a straight wining, because I literally thought they were going to win against Ireland.

Germany continues to surprise with winning results with many goals,
I havnt seen the game yesterday live and just watched the review with the best moments of the match !
The red card in the 9th minute was for sure justified for jens hofer from Liechtenstein and he can be glad that with this foul nothing bigger happend to Leon Goretzka.
Also the team from Liechtenstein is not really a measure with other top teams and with 10 players it was a clear thing that they get kicked out of the Stadium.
The germans could have been scored more goals too i readed. But yeah im glad they won the match.

I don't know if Ronaldo was sleeping for Portugal or what  Cheesy

In fact, Ronaldo was "uninspired" not to say anything worse about him.

The game started very well with Cristiano Ronaldo and André Silva attacking a lot, but they soon cooled off and Ireland dominated the game... at that moment I also changed my bet to at least one Irish goal... I screwed up Sad Sad

In the end, both teams let me down, but Ireland deserved to win, they played much better than Portugal in my opinion.

Either Ronaldo is playing for the national team or is playing for the club team, you have always an extra advantage and much more attention automatically goes to them. Having proven this in many previous games, he is capable of changing the match even in the last minute. As usual, things didn't work out as expected, and Portugal drew 0-0 with Ireland in World Cup qualifying.

The Portuguese played a terrible match today. It is CR7's failure to score, Bruno's missed opportunities, missed passes, and poor crossing that led to this failure. However, my respect goes to the Irish countries because they played an excellent game.

Germany continues to surprise with winning results with many goals, Germany is difficult to stop and they don't care how their opponent will be destroyed when defeated by a big score. There's nothing wrong indeed, it's just that this team will continue to score goals when the opportunity arises but the fact is, when Germany struggles to score goals, the match becomes very boring, right. The result that I don't think should have happened was in the match Georgia - Sweden, Sweden was safe there but it's a shame it was a 2-0 defeat and Sweden were unable to score or at least reply with one goal.

I have followed statistics for Romania and they had really over 23+ shots against Iceland and couldnt score a single goal just disapointing,while Portugal was really bad against Ireland and didnt deserve even that draw,Ireland was much better in this match today

There were really huge results tonight in many matches. Those results were like this:

Germany 9 - 0 Liechtenstein
Malta 1 - 7 Croatia
Armenia 0 - 5 North Macedonia
Russia 6 - 0 Cyprus

Maybe these results aren't very surprising as there was a big strength gap between the two teams in each match. Actually, I can't say the same for the Armenia - N. Macedonia match. Because they had the same points before this match (12 points). But somehow, we got a result like this. Germany, Russia and Croatia just enjoyed themselves today.
Yes the only surprising result was armenia vs north macedonia, i think its because armenia are having a bad few months and they didnt  win for six games they even couldnt beat liechtenstein at home, they started with a 3 consecutive wins and then after the long break they started losing i think its because they made some changes in their squad that didnt go well.

In other games, I'm really surprised that Sweden's losing away to Georgia. If they don't win, that will be a big boost for Spain before their game tonight.

That's so far the upset of the day, I never saw that coming.
I had to look at the Swedish team again after the match ended to just make sure that the A team was fielded, and i can report back to say there big names did play , even their most decorated player Ibrahimović did play but boy was Georgia playing some good football...the last 10 minutes i actually thought a third was coming for them.

Spain are barely able to take full advantage of Sweden losing too, they're only up by a goal against Greece, but if they're secure the win (10 mins plus added time left), that would put Sweden in a really bad spot, as they will have to win the last game against Spain to regain top spot.
After seeing how the results came in, its safe to say the moment we stopped playing football as an entertainment medium and tuned it into a business...is the very time the game lost its originality and honesty, the game of football isn't being played with a passion anymore which is why am convinced match fixing still exists.

Portugal should avoid a draw trap otherwise I expect them to win today. Odds are way in favor of Portugal @1.3 comparing to @9.6 for Ireland!
Azerbaijan - Luxembourg odds are competitive @2.6 - 2.9 respectively and obviously anyone could win that random game tho..
Since Portugal is the most motivated I don't expect any surprises in this match. As for the Azerbaijan-Luxembourg match, the odds are rather strange given the fact that Luxembourg is very successful for itself in this draw and has two victories. Azerbaijan has only one draw in its asset. However, I do not argue with the fact that the result of this match can be completely random and it is worth taking into account only that Azerbaijan will have an advantage by playing at home.
And a draw trap happened unfortunately!! I was quite afraid from that but seeing odds and knowing Portugal team, I thought a win is more likely to happen Undecided
Luxembourg won vs Azerbaijan which were playing with 10 players..
Russia, Germany, Croatia and North Macedonia had a nice training session apparently Roll Eyes

What you mean no importance to the table? Only game left is Spain-Sweden and now Sweden has to win to get that first spot while draw would have been enough for them if they got 3 points today. Big difference IMHO.
That's my bad. I looked at table and saw that Greece from 3rd place have almost zero chances to catch Sweden, but then I forgot that 2nd place don't qualify to World Cup directly, they just go to playoff round. So yeah, in fight for 1st place this result can be crucial.

The goals are just too many, I'm marveled already,Croatia scoring seven goals isn't what I saw coming for this game.
Germany machines keeping clean sheets here at home,very impressive for them fans to see such a wonderful results.
Russians can be very productive at most unpredictable periods and this is one of them.

What a high scoring matchday!
Croatia also won big. 7:1 against Malta is very solid. Russia left nothing from Cyprus - 6:0 I expected their easy win, but not so big.

Biggest upset today is Sweden loss against Georgia. But in general, it have almost zero importance to table.
It was very exciting in our group (Croatia), we had 18 goals in 3 matches, I don't remember this much goals in national games ever. This means we have to win against Russia to clinch direct spot in World Cup.

Sweden was my top pick today and they sure let me down. What you mean no importance to the table? Only game left is Spain-Sweden and now Sweden has to win to get that first spot while draw would have been enough for them if they got 3 points today. Big difference IMHO.

There were too many goals in today's matches, especially Germany, Croatia and Russia got brutal scores. Germany scored nine goals against Liechtenstein, they were one man down in only ninth minute so this is not surprising. Germany total tried 42 shots which is pretty impressive but at the same time worrying, you would expect much better shot/goal ratio. It was like a training game for them. Croatia and Russia found goals with better ratio.

RIP, Liechtenstein. Germany simply destroyed them 9:0. They actually were close to reach double digit of scored goals. And 7th goal scored by Baku was beauty.
Croatia also won big. 7:1 against Malta is very solid. Russia left nothing from Cyprus - 6:0 I expected their easy win, but not so big.
Armenia 0:5 North Macedonia, I think nobody saw this coming because on paper it's similar level teams. And considering goaless draw between Romania and Iceland, it's big step for Macedonia in fight for 2nd place.
Biggest upset today is Sweden loss against Georgia. But in general, it have almost zero importance to table.
Ireland 0:0 Portugal is disappointment. And from stats, seems it was boring game.
