Live on Sky Sports 3 & RTE Two: Fri 17.00 & 19.45: Northern Ireland (11/5, Hills) and the Republic (20/1, BetVictor) face tough World Cup qualifiers.
Over in Azerbaijan, Northern Ireland are William Hill’s 11/5 outsiders and are 29/20 at BetVictor to be the first side to lose to the rock-bottom hosts in Group F.
The Azerbaijanis though, have divided the points in five of their eight games and the draw-specialists, at 23/10 via Stan James, look set to play out another stalemate in Baku, where Ladbrokes price a 1-1 scoreline at 6/1.
Alternatively, bet365 post 4/1 against any score draw and it’s 7/2 with betway to be level at the end of each half.
Back-to-back defeats to Sweden and Austria have ended Ireland’s hopes of qualifying for Brazil 2014 and they’re 1/6 (Stan James) to suffer another loss in Germany, who will book their place in next year’s tournament with a victory.
It’s hard to see past the talented Germans who are worth considering at 6/5 in Paddy Power’s handicaps when kicking-off two goals behind the Irish, BetVictor’s 20/1 outsiders.
More specifically, 888Sport offer 7/1 about a 3-0 German success and Coral quote a generous evens for the hosts to prevail ‘to nil’.
Recommended bets:
Germany to beat irelan ‘to nil’ – evens (Coral)
Azerbaijan v Northern Ireland score draw – 4/1 (bet365)
