Israel v Chile stands out for me from the fixture list. Israel have a strong home record in International fixtures and so why they are over evens to beat Chile beats me. I haven't checked out the team details for either side yet but I really can't see a travelling Chile coming out of this game with anything but a loss.

Elsewhere I wouldn't be suprised to see Sweden take something out of a friendly against Brazil. I understand that this is an occasion for Brazil, to mark some celebration but the truth is that they will have a weakened side available to play. I think Sweden will have enough about them to be able to get a draw and so it might be worth considering as a bet on the AH.

Just a quick look down the list without checking the team news...Overs in Spain, Sweden, Scotland, Switzerland look promising. Worth checking the weather conditions in these as well - more goals are usually scored in friendlies, but with nasty weather managers might not use the best players for long. Often such compromise does take place because of the top clubs. I am leaning towards the Overs in these games because I expect more experiments to be made in the attack lines. Can't see any of these ending 0-0, so will check odds for Goal/Goal later on Wed, as 1-1 is a good possibility in most...

Belarus-Turkiye situation not clear still.Heavy snow in Belarus as far as i can hear could cause delay there.

[adam7982]

What about poland to beat USA at home coral are offering advanced odds of 20/1 for poland and york to both win (york in confrence)

To me that looks a good bet

[mukay73]

As random as it sounds I'm going for the 6.00 on a Lux - Wales draw, Wales often have difficulties scoring many if away frendlies.

Djlion....the occasion could be the 50th anniversary of the Swedish World Cup where young Edison Arantes do Nascimento made his epic debut. That's Pele to you younger viewers. A friendly draw?

This could be a double-edged sword - if a full strength Brazil was available, they have a tendency to coast in these friendlies. My guess is that a similar squad to the one that travelled to Ireland is going (I'll try to find out), and if so then be careful with your stakes. Brazil are DESPERATE to win this year's Olympics, they take it very seriously as it is the one major trophy their national team is yet to win, and they want it badly.

If they pick a mainly u-23 team with 3 over 23's do not be surprised. And if they do, then the team will be taking a lot more seriously, as they will be playing for Olympic places.

Egypt vs Argentina - Favouring Argentina here, anyone give me a reason why i should not bet for argentina to win?

I reckon you should post some reasoning!

[serialpunter]

What do you think about Germany away at Switzerland???

[leecrowe007]

Before reading these selections, please understand that i know nothing about team news here, and am just looking at the prices. All the teams i have picked are preparing for euro 2008 and therefore playing for places. I am hoping that they will also put strongish teams out because lets face it, theres not long left till it starts now. Please feel free to shoot me down in flames if there are reasons not to pick these teams, for example star players not playing or very weak teams likely to get put out. I'll be honest ive just picked some teams i liked the look of the prices on, so any important team news to confirm or put me off these selections would be appreciated!

Austria v Holland 1.86

If holland play a full team i expect them to trounce austria, who are a very poor team and who many austria fans are embarrassed and worried that they have actually got automatic qualification for the euros, because they could, and probably will, get humilated. They really are a poor team by all accounts. Surely holland will be too strong and will want to prove a point against one of their euro 2008 fellow qualifiers.

Switzerland v Germany 2.17

A tricky game i must admit, but germany absolutely cruised through their group and switzerland havent played a competitive game for god knows how long. This might not matter too much seeing as this is a friendly also, but i just feel germany will have too much for switzerland, if they are motivated enough. Again i know nothing about team news so feel free to shoot me down if germany are resting loads of players!

Portugal v Greece 2.26

This price looks fantastic from first glance, portugal at home 5/4!? Whats the reasoning here? Are they resting players or what? I know greece are no mugs but surely portugal will be too strong here, although again i know nothing about team news and feel there may be a hidden meaning in this price.

Scotland v Croatia 2.65

This is a fantastic price here. There are a few drop outs in the scotland squad, due to the old firm game coming up (probably!) I understand the players will be wanting to impress the new manager burley, but on a similar note the croatia players will be wanting to impress bilic with euro 2008 coming up. I really rate bilic as manager and dont think he'll let them get complacent in any way whatsoever, as was the case when they beat england 3-2 when already confirmed as qualifiers. Some may say eduardo will be a miss, he probably will, but his absence gives the other strikers a chance to stake their claim and this will be the time to d
