Live on Sky Sports 3 & 4: Weds from 18.00: It could be a good night of friendlies for the home nations and a 17/4 double (Hills) appeals.
The home nations don’t have a World Cup to look forward to this summer but that doesn’t mean their respective latest friendly assignments aren’t significant as the quartet are all seeking to make progress ahead of the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign, which gets under way in the autumn.
Wales entertain Iceland and Paddy Power quote Chris Coleman’s men at 11/10 to come out on top in Cardiff, where Gareth Bale is set to feature.
The Real Madrid man has been in decent form for his club, hence he’s bet365’s 9/2 favourite to open the scoring while Ladbrokes chalk the Welsh up at 13/2 to grab the only goal.
In Dublin, Martin O’Neill looks to extend his unbeaten start as Republic of Ireland boss by getting the better of Serbia, an outcome William Hill quote at 13/8.
The visitors (21/10, Coral) failed to make it to Brazil but ended the qualifying campaign strongly so they’ll be no pushovers at the Aviva Stadium, where there’s already been cash for the stalemate, now a 23/10 chance at Skybet.
However, under new management, the Irish could have the edge in this one and they’re 3/1 with bet365 to nick it by a one-goal margin.
Scotland head to Poland as BetVictor’s 10/3 underdogs but having improved under Gordon Strachan, they look capable of avoiding defeat (19/20, bet365) and a draw isn’t without appeal at 13/5 (bet365).
Another side that might play out a stalemate are Northern Ireland, who head to Cyprus. BetVictor chalk Michael O’Neill’s troops up at 17/10 to prevail but Betfred’s 9/4 about an inconclusive affair is the stand out bet in Nicosia.
Recommended Bets:
Double on Wales and Rep. of Ireland – 17/4 (Hills)
Poland v Scotland draw – 13/5 (bet365)
Cyprus v Northern Ireland draw – 9/4 (Betfred)
