Skysports 1,2 & 3: Tue 19.45 & 20.00: Scotland are 17/20 (William Hill) to see off Macedonia in their World Cup qualifier at Hampden Park.
Scotland couldn’t break down Serbia in the pair’s World Cup qualifier at the weekend, picking up just a point in a goalless draw at Hampden Park and that result means that victory is all the more crucial as Craig Levein’s men entertain Macedonia in the second half of a home double header.
Likely to adopt a more positive approach, the Scots are worthy favourites at 17/20 with William Hill to collect maximum points and having kept a clean sheet against the more dangerous Serbs, Levein’s charges should also be able to win ‘to nil’, an outcome Paddy Power price at 17/10.
In attack, Jordan Rhodes could be given the nod and he’s 9/2 (Skybet) to break the deadlock while the Blackburn man is also available at 7/4 via Sportingbet to notch at any time.
Staying in Group A, ten-man Wales went down 2-0 at home to a talented Belgium outfit in their opener and Chris Coleman’s charges look set to suffer another defeat as they head to Serbia. The hosts are 1/2 courtesy of BetVictor to edge the Belgrade contest and the Welsh are bet365’s 7/1 outsiders but their hopes of causing an upset are likely to be scuppered by their lengthy absentee list.
Northern Ireland also lost their first qualifier 2-0, this time in Russia but Michael O’Neill’s troops should bounce back by beating Luxembourg, albeit in a tight affair at Windsor Park, where Boylesports post 4/9 against a home win.
