Sunday selections — how you can win big on the World Cup Qualifiers
The international break may be close to a conclusion and for some, this may come as a delight as they welcome back domestic football.
But until then some of the world’s best players will be on show this weekend and Sportsbet.io’s tipsters have an exciting 18.00 four-fold for your consideration.
Wales vs Georgia (Wales -1.5 Asian handicap @2.00)
It’s been a year to remember for Chris Coleman’s side, who were the surprise package at Euro 2016 this summer when they were knocked out of the semi-finals by eventual winners Portugal.
Now the Welsh are vying for a place at the 2018 World Cup in Russia and have made an unbeaten start to their qualifying campaign.
Gareth Bale and co will fancy their chances against a Georgia side, who have won just once in nine games, and our tipsters are backing them to comfortably cover the -1.5 Asian handicap.
The price at 2.00 is generous, given that Wales have one of the best attackers in world football and a defence that has kept three clean sheets in their previous five outings.
Moldova vs Republic of Ireland (Ireland -1 Asian handicap @1.90)
Admittedly, the Republic of Ireland were expected to beat Georgia comfortably during their last outing but fell well short of those expectations, stealing a narrow 1–0 victory.
And while their credentials playing away from home are questionable, Martin O’Neill’s side will be looking to silence critics when they face qualification strugglers Moldova.
Sunday’s opponents have never qualified for a major tournament and appear no closer to doing so, having conceded seven goals in their last two games at the hands of Serbia and Wales.
So, that’s why there’s a confidence the Republic of Ireland will cover the handicap at the price of 1.90 and leave the punters delighted.
Albania vs Spain (Albania +1.5 Asian handicap @1.85)
Now this is an interesting selection considering footballing giants Spain are up against Albania, who only reached their first major tournament this summer.
But Julen Lopetegui’s newly-adopted side have struggled to impress away from home when they’ve travelled to Eastern Europe to face physical and intimidating sides.
While they may have the guile and flair of players like Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets and David Silva; Albania themselves have their own secret weapon.
The Stadiumi Loro Boriçi will provide Spain’s stars with a hostile atmosphere they may not have experienced before, with the Albanians known for their passionate and exuberant displays of support for their national side.
For this reason, are tipsters believe the game may be tighter than anticipated with the home side aiming to make it scrap and tough for Spain to dominate.
Macedonia vs Italy (Italy to win both halves @2.65)
Now this is a big, big price considering the gulf in class between the two sides and one our tipsters feel is too good to not recommend.
Macedonia have won just twice in their last 15 matches, losing 11 of them in the process and long being seen as qualifying whipping boys.
So for Italy’s talented squad, they should make light work of Sunday’s opponents given the firepower they have in their ranks.
Graziano Pelle continues to impress for the Azzurri and with the likes of Marco Verratti and Antonio Candreva being the creative spark, it’s tough to see Italy not running away with this.
Which is why the Italians to win both halves at 2.65 is a price too tempting to leave out.
