World Cup qualifier tips
Moldova v Scotland
First up we’ve got the mighty Moldova up against Steve Clarkes’ boys. Scotland are on the verge of qualifying for the playoffs and a win here would clinch a place in this month's lottery. They arrive in Chisinau in superb form having won their last four matches, including that crucial 3-2 win over group rivals Israel.
I see them having no difficulty in finishing off the hapless Moldovans who are yet to win a game in this campaign and sit rooted to the bottom of Group F. They’ve scored only four goals in eight qualifiers and I’m backing a Scotland shut out tonight. I can see them winning with a comfortable 2-0 scoreline.
Austria v Israel
I’m expecting goals, goals, goals in this one. Israel average almost four goals a game in their qualifiers and Austria aren’t far behind with 25 goals in their eight qualifying games to date. Israel are still in contention for a playoff spot but Austria have left it too late and will likely play with freedom here.
The last three games between the nations have seen an average of almost six goals scored per game so we should hopefully be looking at the same again for our selection. Keep an eye out for Israel's free scoring no 7, PSV’s Eran Zahavi who has scored 8 goals in 8 games for the Israelis.
Italy v Switzerland
Wow, what a game this one should be. So much on the line for the Azzuri and The Schweizer Nati. Qualification can’t be sealed on Friday but it can give the victor a huge advantage heading into the final fixtures. Win in Rome and a solitary point on Monday night would see them heading to Qatar. Lose and it's likely they will be heading for the lottery of the Playoffs.
Digging down into the numbers and it’s clear that both teams have solid defences having only conceded 1 goal each in qualification. Couple this with the fact that both teams are missing their leading goalscorers, Ciro Immobile for Italy and Breel Embolo for the Swiss, and we should be looking at a tight, nervy affair.
Switzerland are undefeated since Euro 2020 and have kept four straight clean sheets but with vital players missing, I can see European champions Italy just scraping over the line in this one by a solitary goal. I'm backing ‘No’ in the Both Teams To Score market here.
Northern Ireland v Lithuania
This Group C clash sees a battle between the bottom two, neither of whom can qualify for the playoffs. Last time out in Vilnius , the Green and White Army dispatched Lithuania in style with a comprehensive 4-1 win and they should have enough to turn them over again at Windsor Park on Friday night.
Lithuania have lost seven of their last eight matches in World Cup qualifying and have failed to score in six of those. They scored a consolation goal last time, but I don’t see them repeating that this time round and am banking on a Northern Ireland clean sheet in this one.
Good luck to anyone following the selections on Friday and as always, please gamble responsibly.
