class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Boys in Green were on the wrong end of an entertaining match in Serbia in midweek but our tipster is expecting them to revert to type on Saturday

Republic of Ireland have the perfect chance to kickstart their World Cup qualifying campaign when they welcome Luxembourg to the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Saturday.

Stephen Kenny’s men lost their opening Group A match 3-2 to Serbia in midweek, a result which could prove pivotal in the race for second place behind likely winners Portugal.

Ireland vs Luxembourg Latest Odds

The hosts have not won any of their last 12 competitive fixtures but bet365 make them just 4/9 (1.44) to claim a victory for the first time since June 2019.

Luxembourg enjoyed a strong Nations League tournament last year with 10 points from a possible 18 but are out at 15/2 (8.50) to pick up three points in the Irish capital.

The Red Lions famously drew 0-0 at France during 2018 World Cup qualifying and it is 3/1 (4.0) that this fixture also ends level.

Ireland vs Luxembourg Team News

The likes of Robbie Brady, James McLean, Jeff Hendrick, James Collins and Shane Long will all be pushing to start after coming off the bench against Serbia, with the latter pair combining to score Ireland’s second.

Teenagers Eldin Dzogovic and Timothe Rupil could both make their competitive debuts for Luxembourg.

Ireland vs Luxembourg Preview

Whilst Ireland ultimately lost to Serbia on Wednesday evening, the fact they scored two goals will be a big relief for Kenny, who had previously seen his team net a grand total of once in the previous eight games under his tutelage.

However, the second goal was very much the result of a Serbian defensive lapse and it could be a return to their usual ineffective selves in the final third when they host Luxembourg.

Luc Holtz’s men have only ever recorded a handful of competitive victories but they generally keep things tight, having conceded 16 times in eight Euro 2020 qualifying games and just five times in their recent Nations League group.

Ireland vs Luxembourg Tips and Predictions

Under 2.5 goals is priced at just 3/4 (1.75), such is bet365’s lack of faith in Ireland, and actually offers decent value for this World Cup qualifier in Dublin on Saturday night.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The 2018 World Cup winners are looking for their first win in qualifying for next year's tournament and our tipster is backing them to ease to victory

France travel to Kazakhstan on Sunday with Didier Deschamps’ side looking for their first win in 2022 World Cup qualifying group D.

Les Bleus were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Ukraine in their opening group game on Wednesday night, but will fancy their chances of getting back on track against one of the lowest ranked teams in Europe. 

Kazakhstan vs France Latest Odds

The hosts are clear outsiders, with bet365 pricing them at 16/1 (17.00) to record what would be one of the biggest upsets in recent memory.

France, meanwhile, are available at just 1/7 (1.14) with the draw at 7/1 (8.00).

Kazakhstan vs France Team News

N’Golo Kante picked up an injury against Ukraine which has ruled him out of France’s two subsequent games during this international break.

Deschamps has suggested there will be changes in the side for this weekend’s clash after the disappointing result in their opening group game, with the likes of Paul Pogba, Ousmane Dembele and Anthony Martial all pushing for starting berths.

Kazakhstan vs France Preview

Whilst France created chances against Ukraine, they lacked not only a cutting threat but also some dynamism in the final third as well.

The addition of Dembele to the starting eleven could bring the spark of electricity that was lacking on Wednesday, while more will also be expected of Kylian Mbappe who was sub-par.

Their opponents on Sunday will be considerably less competitive than Ukraine, with Kazakhstan ranked 122nd in the world and having lost to Belarus, Albania and Lithuania in their most recent UEFA Nations League matches.

Les Bleus, then, should be able to rack up the goals and restore some confidence against a vastly inferior side.

Kazakhstan vs France Tips and Predictions

The hosts have conceded in both halves in three of their last four matches and backing France to win both halves at evens (2.00) looks like a tempting option.

Also worthy of consideration could be backing the visitors to net over 2.5 goals which is priced at 4/5 (1.80).

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The visitors enjoy an amazing unbeaten run in World Cup qualifying and our tipster is backing La Roja to record a low-scoring win in Tblisi on Sunday

Spain travel to the Dinamo Arena to face Georgia on Sunday with Luis Enrique’s men looking for their first win in World Cup qualifying Group B.

Despite dominating possession, La Roja were held to a 1-1 draw by Greece on Thursday evening, but the 2010 World Cup winners should be able to open their account this weekend against the Baltic nation.

Georgia vs Spain Latest Odds

The visitors are unbeaten in World Cup qualifying since 1993 and they are highly fancied to extend that extraordinary run on Sunday, with bet365 pricing Spain at just 4/25 (1.16).

Georgia are offered at 16/1 (17.00) to record a major upset, with the draw available at 11/2 (6.50).

Georgia vs Spain Team News

Captain Sergio Ramos was withdrawn at half time against Greece, but the Real Madrid defender should start once more this weekend.

With Villarreal striker Gerard Moreno nursing a slight knock, Alvaro Morata is likely to start up front again for La Roja, while debutant Bryan Gil’s impressive showing from the bench on the left-wing could see him rewarded with a starting berth.

Georgia are likely to go for a similar starting eleven that narrowly lost 1-0 to Sweden in midweek.

Georgia vs Spain Preview

The game against Greece underlined the problem that has been facing Spain for a number of years, namely the lack of a clinical edge in the final third.

On their day, Luis Enrique’s men can blow apart any side in the world as shown in their 6-0 demolition of Germany back in November, yet more often than not they struggle to break down highly defensive units.

We can readily expect the hosts on Sunday to play with at least 10 men behind the ball and Spain will have to use all their skill and energy to find a way through.

There seems little doubt that the visitors should be able to record a victory, but opposing them to run riot should appeal significantly.

Georgia vs Spain Tips and Predictions

Spain to win and under 3.5 goals in the game is offered at 4/5 (1.80) and looks like an excellent option.

This bet has paid out in nine of Spain’s last 14 away World Cup qualifiers, including their visit to Georgia in 2012 which saw them win 1-0.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The hosts have been conceding plenty of goals and our tipster is backing the visitors to record another high-scoring win in the Romanian capital

Romania welcome Germany to the National Arena on Sunday evening with both sides aiming for their second win in World Cup qualifying Group J.

Joachim Low’s side secured a comfortable 3-0 success over Iceland on Thursday evening in Duisberg, while Romania scored late to claim a 3-2 home victory over North Macedonia.

Romania vs Germany Latest Odds

Germany have won each of their last 17 World Cup qualifiers and bet365 price them at 3/10 (1.30) to extend that hugely impressive run this weekend. 

The hosts, for their part, have been victorious in three of their last four games and can be backed at 9/1 (10.00) with the draw available at 4/1 (5.00).

Romania vs Germany Team News

Germany were without midfielder Jonas Hoffmann for the win over Iceland following his positive test for coronavirus while full-back Marcel Halstenburg was also unavailable having been deemed a close contact. Both will miss out again here.

For Romania, Ianis Hagi impressed with a goal off the bench against North Macedonia and will be hoping to push for a starting berth.

Romania vs Germany Preview

Germany made light work of Iceland in midweek and they will be confident of recording another success this weekend.

The 2014 World Cup winners meanwhile have plenty of firepower at their disposal and in the last two years they have scored three or more times on nine occasions.

Romania’s defensive record is far from impressive, with the side keeping just one clean sheet in their last 12 matches in all competitions and largely struggling to resist attacks.

Indeed, they have conceded four goals to Norway, three goals to Belarus and twice against North Macedonia in the last 12 months alone, and they could be in for a similar story against one of the most prolific sides in European football. 

Romania vs Germany Tips and Predictions

The visitors can be backed at 9/10 (1.90) to score in both halves which looks like an excellent option, while there could be interest in backing them to net over 2.5 goals at 6/5 (2.20).

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With Lewandowski absent, Al Hain-Cole is backing the Manchester City star to steal the headlines by maintaining his prolific form for the Three Lions

With Robert Lewandowski missing due to injury, Poland will have to look elsewhere for inspiration when they travel to Wembley to take on England in Wednesday’s World Cup qualifier.

The Bayern Munich star limped off after scoring his 65th and 66th international goals against Andorra at the weekend, leaving the Eagles without their captain and record goalscorer for the trip to London.

Arkadiusz Milik has gone seven games since bringing his international goal total to 15, but remains bet365’s 10/1 (11.00) favourite to open the scoring for Paulo Sousa’s men.

In decent form at club level after scoring four goals in seven starts since joining Marseille in January, the 27-year-old is available at 10/3 (4.33) to transfer that to the national stage by scoring anytime.

Krzysztof Piatek has struck eight times in 17 matches for the national team and is available at 4/1 (5.00) to step up in Lewandowski’s absence with a big goal here.

Kamil Jozwiak has found the in two of his last three appearances from midfield, although the Derby County man remains a lengthy 7/1 (8.00) outsider to strike here.

Although denied the chance to go toe-to-toe with Lewandowski, Harry Kane will still be looking to prove he belongs right up with the very best strikers in Europe.

The Tottenham man has scored seven times in his last eight appearances for club and country and is the 5/2 (3.50) favourite to break the deadlock for the second time in three days after grabbing the opener in Sunday’s win over Albania.

With 33 goals to his name in just 52 internationals, it is no surprise to see the skipper priced at just 4/6 (1.67) anytime odds against a defence that shipped three goals in Hungary in their last away trip.

However, those seeking better value will want to take a look at the 6/5 (2.20) anytime price available for Raheem Sterling, who has scored eight times in the last nine international matches.

Mason Mount has become a fixture in recent England sides and is also worth considering at 2/1 (3.00) after striking in three of the last seven matches.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>La Roja have not been at their best so far in World Cup qualifying and our tipster is backing a low-scoring affair against their lowly opponents

Spain welcome Kosovo to the Olympic Stadium in Seville on Wednesday evening with Luis Enrique’s men playing their third game in World Cup qualifying Group B.

La Roja have been extremely underwhelming in their opening two group matches, drawing 1-1 at home to Greece last week before needing an injury time strike to win 2-1 in Georgia on Sunday.

Spain vs Kosovo Latest Odds

The 2010 world champions have never lost a World Cup qualifier on home soil and they remain huge favourites on Wednesday, with bet365 offering a home win at 1/9 (1.11).

This is only Kosovo’s second World Cup qualifying campaign and the only point they have ever claimed in the competition came in the first of the 11 qualifiers they have contested.

The visitors are available at 22/1 (23.00) with the draw priced at 15/2 (8.50).

Spain vs Kosovo Team News

Having only played the first half of the opening game against Greece, Spain captain Sergio Ramos did not feature at all against Georgia and it remains to be seen whether the Real Madrid man is fully fit to start.

Dani Olmo could come back into the starting eleven after scoring the winner off the bench on Sunday, while Thiago Alcantara could also return to the team.

Kosovo have midfielder Bernard Berisha suspended following his red card in the 3-0 defeat to Sweden. 

Spain vs Kosovo Preview

La Roja have struggled badly in their opening two group games and manager Luis Enrique said after the win in Georgia: “If you are not on top of your game, then you will suffer.”

Realistically, however, Spain should encounter few problems against the lowest-ranked team in the group representing a nation with a population similar to that of the city of Barcelona.

A home victory is surely on the cards but the three-time European champions are unlikely to run riot, given we have seen some pretty lacklustre performances from them in this international break. 

Spain struggle to break down sides that sit back and defend resolutely, something the visitors will surely attempt and while the hosts will surely win there should be a temptation to oppose a high scoring game.

Spain vs Kosovo Tips and Predictions

Backing the visitors to win with under 3.5 goals in the game looks like an appealing option at evens (2.00).

Opposing a goal before 23 minutes at 5/6 (1.83) could also be of interest, with this selection paying out in both of Spain’s qualifiers so far.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Azzurri usually record comfortable, low-scoring victories and our tipster is backing that trend to continue in this World Cup qualifier in Vilnius

Italy will be hoping to continue their perfect start to 2022 World Cup qualifying with another three points when they head to Lithuania on Wednesday night.

Roberto Mancini’s men claimed back-to-back 2-0 victories over the last week, beating Northern Ireland and Bulgaria respectively to sit top of Group C.

Lithuania vs Italy Latest Odds

The visitors are chasing another 100 per cent record in qualifiers after achieving the feat en route to Euro 2020 and they are priced at just 1/7 (1.14) with bet365 to make it three wins from three in Vilnius.

Lithuania’s last victory in a World Cup qualifier came back in October 2016 when they beat Malta 2-0 and they are 14/1 (15.0) to record one the most stunning upsets in international football history by securing three points on Wednesday.

Two of the last three meetings between these nations have finished level, albeit the most recent fixture was back in September 2006, and another draw can be backed at 7/1 (8.0).

Lithuania vs Italy Team News

Freiburg attacker Vincenzo Grifo has not travelled due to Bundesliga Coronavirus restrictions, whilst Francesco Caputo, Domenico Berardi and Giorgio Chiellini are all unavailable.

The hosts will likely stick with the same team that lost 1-0 to Switzerland, with manager Valdas Urbonas deploying a 4-1-4-1 in St Gallen that could be replicated for this one.

Lithuania vs Italy Preview

Italy continued their trend of safe and unglamorous victories with a professional 2-0 victory in Bulgaria, and there is little reason to think they will fail to record a similar result on Wednesday.

Under the tutelage of Mancini, the Azzurri have scored more than three times in a game on only four separate occasions – and three of those were at home.

Visiting sides tend not to run riot in Lithuania, with the Rinktine conceding 30 times in their last 19 combined World Cup and European Championship qualifiers, and they will also be buoyed by such a resolute defensive performance in Switzerland.

Lithuania vs Italy Tips and Predictions

There is little doubt that Italy have more than enough to claim three points in Vilnius and the best way to get them onside is by backing them to win and under 3.5 match goals at 21/20 (2.05) with bet365.

This would have paid out in 12 of the 16 competitive wins Mancini has overseen during his tenure in charge of Italy.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The hosts have opened their 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign with two score draws and our tipster is backing another open affair at Hampden Park

Scotland welcome Faroe Islands to Hampden Park for a Group F World Cup qualifier on Wednesday night.

Anything other than three points would be a disaster for Steve Clarke’s men, who have opened their campaign with draws against Austria and Israel.

Scotland vs Faroe Islands Latest Odds

The hosts have not won any of their last five matches inside 90 minutes but are 1/7 (1.14) favourites with bet365 to pick up a vital victory in Glasgow.

Faroe Islands secured a rare away point in Moldova in their first Group F game and are 18/1 (19.0) to record a first win in any qualifying match since beating Latvia 2-0 in October 2016.

A draw would leave Scotland in a very precarious position with only three points after as many matches, and that result is available at 13/2 (7.50).

Scotland vs Faroe Islands Team News

Clarke is likely to keep the same midfield and defence that played in the draws against Austria and Israel, while Che Adams and Lyndon Dyke will both hope to start up front.

Odmar Faero picked up an injury against Moldova and is set to miss this match.

Scotland vs Faroe Islands Preview

Victory for Scotland is pivotal if they are to have any chance of qualifying for the 2022 World Cup, but it is unlikely they will find it easy on Wednesday.

While Clarke’s men have been relatively proficient in the final third over the last 18 months, scoring 19 times in 13 competitive fixtures, they have been fairly leaky at the back with only four clean sheets in that time.

It would take a serious upset for the Faroe Islands to win but they will at least back themselves to get on the scoresheet, having already scored in each of their Group F games as well as netting in four of their 10 Euro 2020 qualifiers – including against both Spain and Romania.

Scotland vs Faroe Islands Tips and Prediction

Both teams to score is priced at 7/4 (2.75) and looks a strong odds-against selection for this World Cup qualifier, having paid out in all four qualifiers these nations have contested in this group stage so far.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Although struggling domestically, Al Hain-Cole expects the prolific visitors to pose plenty of problems for Guardiola's side in the Champions League

Manchester City will be looking to put one foot in the Champions League semi-finals when they welcome Borussia Dortmund to the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday.

Pep Guardiola’s men are desperate to match recent domestic dominance with European success, having only ever made it past the quarter-finals once – suffering elimination at this stage in each of the last three seasons.

Manchester City vs Borussia Dortmund Latest Odds

However, they are clear 1/3 (1.33) favourites with bet365 to set themselves up for a place in the final four by taking an aggregate lead to Germany by coming out on top.

Dortmund have only won one of their last five matches in all competitions but can be backed at 7/1 (8.00) to take the upper hand with a shock victory here.

The sides shared a 1-1 draw in their only previous meeting at this ground back in 2012, and you can get odds of 9/2 (5.50) on them cancelling each other out once again.

Manchester City vs Borussia Dortmund Team News

With a fully fit squad to choose from, Joao Cancelo, Ilkay Gundogan, Phil Foden and Raheem Sterling are likely to return to the starting line-up after being rested for Saturday’s win over Leicester.

Dan-Axel Zagadou, Marcel Schmelzer, Axel Witsel, and Jadon Sancho are all ruled out, while Youssoufa Moukoko will face a late fitness test.

Manchester City vs Borussia Dortmund Preview

Although domestic form sees them well adrift of the Champions League places, Edin Terzic’s team is still more than capable of causing problems for a home team that has suffered eliminations against Lyon, Tottenham, Liverpool and Monaco in the last four seasons.

Indeed, the side spearheaded by the irrepressible Erling Haaland has not failed to find the net in 37 matches – averaging over two goals a game in that time.

While they have kept seven consecutive clean sheets in this competition, the Citizens have conceded in four of their last five home matches in all competitions – although have only failed to score once in 34 fixtures themselves.

Manchester City vs Borussia Dortmund Tips and Predictions

All in all, odds of 4/5 (1.80) look well worth backing on Dortmund joining City on the scoresheet in an exciting Champions League clash at the Etihad.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The defending champions are odds-on favourites to claim a first leg win and our tipster thinks there is value in backing the hosts to do exactly that

Champions League holders Bayern Munich welcome Paris Saint-Germain to the Allianz Arena on Wednesday evening in the first leg of the quarter-final in a repeat of last season’s showpiece.

Hansi Flick’s side overcame PSG 1-0 in the final last August and the Bundesliga outfit are clear favourites to claim another victory this week.

Bayern Munich vs PSG Latest Odds

The hosts are unbeaten in the Champions League since March 2019, recording 18 wins from their last 19 games in the tournament.

Bayern are offered at 20/23 (1.87) with bet365 to add another victory to that run, while the visitors can be backed at 11/4 (3.25) with the draw at 29/10 (3.90).

Bayern Munich vs PSG Team News

The German champions are without top scorer Robert Lewandowski, who picked up a knee injury while on international duty with Poland, with Douglas Costa and Corentin Tolisso also both injured and Serge Gnabry out after a positive COVID-19 test.

Marco Verratti and Alessandro Florenzi also tested positive for coronavirus, whilst Leandro Paredes us suspended and Danilo Pereira a doubt with a calf problem.

Bayern Munich vs PSG Preview

Even without Lewandowski, Bayern have enough firepower to be rightly considered favourites and the absence of Verrati in midfield is of almost equal importance to PSG.

Indeed, without Verratti this season, PSG have lost at home to Manchester United, away to RB Leipzig, home and away against Monaco and most recently at home to Lille at the weekend.

The French champions are struggling more so than in any recent season, and while they blew away Barcelona in the first leg of their last-16 clash, the second leg saw them concede 21 shots to the Catalans.

If they afford a similar number of chances to Bayern, the hosts will win comfortably considerinf the absence of Lewandowski.

Bayern Munich vs PSG Tips and Predictions

Bayern to win looks like a solid bet and a tempting price, while for a value bet backing a home win at both teams to score at 11/5 (3.20) could appeal.

The Bavarians have conceded in seven of their last nine matches, and while they are worthy favourites to win, a clean sheet might be beyond them.
