A draw seems to be very likely, Switzerland have not been in great form even when they are playing at home during the qualifications, their best games was winning against Gibraltar who are yet to get a single goal or point during the qualifications.Ireland on the other hand is one of the best defensive team as they are yet to lose a single game having won three games and drawing the other three, with them playing away, Switzerland are going to have to do all the work to break down their defense because am sure Ireland will be okay with a draw.

I think that if Croatia will be at their best game tonight (like against Slovakia and Hungary on Thursday), then Whales should be no problem for them. However, they could play an easy game because there is still chance to secure 1st spot against Slovakia in November. We'll see, I have put my money on Croatia but I'm not that certain they will win.

Here are the matches on my "payroll" today:

Estonia - Germany - 2 & OVER 3.5 GOALS
Germany will certainly not put any risk on their qualification odds and give all they can on the pitch. I expect a match with a lot of goals and spectacle.

Scotland - San Marino - 1 & UNDER 1.5 GOALS in the first half
These two are situated on the last two places in the group. San Marino has no chance to qualify so they probably won't have too much ambition, than to not take too many goals. I see a plateaued first half probably will finish 0:0 at half time.

2 days to go until this match ... winning the game is a must for Switzerland otherwise the chance to get qualified might be a little more harder than before, they are favorited to finish on top of group table in the first day but now I see a quiet decent odds for them to finish on top which means bookies know every possibility included how Switzerland could failed to get through the next euro 2020.

Statistically in the last 4 match head to head both teams often get a draw, here's the H2H :

Euro Cup Qualification, Group D
06 Sep 19

Ireland 1-1 Switzerland

Int. Friendly Games
26 Mar 16

Ireland 1-0 Switzerland

World Cup Qual. UEFA Group D
13 Oct 05

Ireland 0-0 Switzerland

09 Sep 04

Switzerland 1-1 Ireland

How about placing a bet for draw? It's @3.85 , fair enough

Very low scoring matches yesterday mainly,,, I was quite surprised to see Denmark ONLY could score 3, even Sweden could put 4 down. 19 goals last night so I guess over 19.5 was extremely unlucky. Big shock for Bosnia to win so big too, not all the teams from Scandinavia are having it easy I guess yes?

Saw that game a little bit yesterday and the Spanish team was far from its real performance.. Too bad for many bets that was supposed to be easy ones..

Today Belgium, Russia, Hungary, Netherlands, Scotland, Germany, Croatia should win relatively easily. For the other games, surprises may happens.
Waiting to see how many goals Scotland will score today 

Playing at home also does not guarantee to win. It's just an advantage, because it gets direct support from fans. The rest, it depends on each team.
If you want to bet, it's better to take Ireland, because they haven't won the last 2 matches and the match against Switzerland will affect their ranking.

Few interesting games tonight:

Hungary vs Azerbaijan
Hungary really has to win this one to keep up with Slovakia and get that 2nd spot in the group

Wales vs Croatia
In this game Wales has to go all in if they want to keep some chances for that 2nd position, and that will open a lot of space for Croatia, and with this win they can secure 1st spot, so my money will be on Croatia for this game.

Belarus vs Netherland
Belarus has no chances to go to Euro, and Netherland really needs this win, and i ams ure that they will get it.

Lithuania vs Serbia
Lithuania is last in their group with no chances, while Serbia still has some, albeit their chances are not very good, but i think that they should win this.


In the end i will choose 2 or 3 games out of those mentioned, just have to figure out which ones i gonna exclude.Most likely it will be Serbia as i don't trust their national team much, despite having  good players they are prone to mess it up against weaker opponents, but it all depends how much money i gonna put.



Usually i am avoiding these kind of games, but if i really have to, i would play under 2.5 goals. Ireland goal difference is 6-2 in 6 games so far, so they play some good defense. On top of that,  for them even draw is good, and i think that they will go for that.

The goal scored from the penalty shootout destroyed my parlay yesterday.
I was expecting Spain to win in order to reap my profits and then the referee gave that penalty. It wasn't a big deal for Spain but it was unfair for the bettors!

Anybody betting on Switzerland against Ireland? What is your take on this? Because I am thinking of a draw or Ireland. Switzerland looked highly favored here due to playing at home maybe?

I got lucky on @big_daddy's calls. Maybe I will wait for his say on this match too.

Italy's game was pretty good despite being slow in round 1 of the second half they attacked perfectly and finally won against Greece 2-0, in fact I bet in the second round with my strong prediction that Italy would win against Greece.

Yes the results of this match do not affect Spain's position in the Group F standings but many bets lose   This should have been an easy victory for Spain but luck is closer to Norway.

Whatever happens in the field is legal. And we sometimes see that it really isn't a proper penalty. But the final result is a draw. And the good thing is that Spain is still in the group leader, so the draw does not affect much with their current rank.

Norway vs Spain.. What an absurb end, that penalty though for Norway on the very last minute before the match end. I think that's not a penalty. So unlucky for Spain, they got draw because of that. Well it's not that important for Spain, because they still at the top of the group and will qualify for sure.

Ireland will not let go of the victory when they meet Switzerland in the next match. They still play with the aim of winning, because if it loses or draws and on the other hand Denmark wins. Then Denmark will win the group, which is what Ireland wants to defend. They must win and become the group champion in the end.

So do with spain ... they even conceded at the injury time 90+4 , they should have won it! Good for norway to keeping their chance to qualify alive with this huge draw. Unfortunately the rising star erling braut haaland missing this match due the injury... he is simply young deadly beast striker for Norway . It's nice odds for the match to ended draw @4.1 .. always expecting this kind result on the international break matches.

With the Denmark wins over Switzerland it's just makes the group D getting heated with close points to each other!

Ireland 6 played 12 points
Denmark 6 played 12 points
Switzerland 5 played 8 points

The next switzerland match is against Ireland!

Worth to try to bet who gonna qualified in this group.

As predicted Italy won, too much gap on teams and Italy is not so great.
Anyway, Spain has drawn with Norway.

Now only Belgium and Italy are on a clean sheet for 7P/7Wins, not bad.

Can this be the reborn of Italy after missed the Mondial 2018?

Oh ok, i thought you placed your bet at the time of writing. And yeah, bookies must've seen something that made them put the odds to two digits, and it almost backfired since the game finished 1-1, too bad Liechtenstein don't have that winning mentality, any other team would've gone for the win, specially at home in front of the fans.

Well, Italy is officially the 2nd team to qualify to the Euro 2020 after Belgium. 7 consecutive wins, almost an average of 3 goals per game, all thanks to Mancini. Congrats, @coinlocket$ 

Wow,  football predictions is becoming something else,  I can't believe that Spain drew with Norway,  lots of tickets will have been busted with what Spanish team had done tonight , this is totally unbelievable

OMG Spain was winning up until '90 minute.... when Joshua score goal for 1-1.
I still can not believe it. 

On the other hand Bosnia and Herzegovina smashed Finland with 4-1
Not bad at all
