Default Re: Euro 2008 qualifiers - matches 12/9

I'm still in two minds about the France-Scotland game and really should leave it alone- but I won't A real battle of heart and mind. One saying the +2 handicap for Scotland is great value and the other reminding me that Scotland have already lost 0:2 twice to Ukraine and Italy. If it wouldn't spoil my enjoyment of the game so much tomorrow I'd be tempted to make that a trio of 0:2 correct score.

Scotland's group is the one I know best so I'll probably punt on the other games. Ukraine +1 @8/13 isn't great odds against the world champions who really need to get all 3 points but I think is worth taking. Ukraine know how to play for a draw and that's what I see them doing while hoping to nick something on the counter or a set piece. I can see the home side taking something out of this if Italy are going to be missing some key players.

I fancy Lithuania +2 @6/4 too and that could be one of my main bets. Neither side has really much to play for but as the Lithuanians showed at Hampden they do not yet lack appetite and I'd expect them to give the Faroes a going over.

It's a must win for Norway @1/1 tomorrow or they are really in trouble. A win would set them up for the last game at home to Turkey where they could at the very least take a play off place depending on how Greece do elsewhere. The Norwegians are in good form and in the friendly I saw them play against Argentina I was quite impressed with them.

I don't see much else tomorrow and most of the other matches I will probably stay away from. One last one I fancy though is Slovenia @10/11 to beat Belarus. No other reason other than revenge and Slovenia are quite a good home side despite their current standings.
