Georgia vs Scotland: No goals in Georgia

Georgia, Euro Qualifier, Thursday November 16th, 17:00 (UK)

Scotland booked their place at Euro 2024 last international break and although Steve Clarke’s side seven goals worse off then Spain, their pursuit of Group A top spot is still in technically their own hands. 

Georgia proved to be a stubborn opposition when the sides met at Hampden Park in June. The hosts won 2-0 with goals early in each half, but a late Georgia penalty threatened to make it a nervy finish. It proved to be inconsequential after Khvicha Kvaratskhelia missed though.

Steve Clarke is blighted by injuries. Andy Robertson left the pitch in a sling during the defeat to Spain, adding insult to injury. The Liverpool left-back will miss the remainder of the season, and his absence is exacerbated by the absence of Kieran Tierney and Aaron Hickey. Add to this list the unavailability of Che Adams, and the Tartan Army’s trip to the continent looks increasingly treacherous.

Spain put Georgia to the sword, but excluding that 7-1 thumping, the hosts have been competitive. Siding with a lack of goals here, as I do not expect the Scots to blow the hosts out of the water.

• Selection: Under 2.5 Goals
• Best Odds: 1.80

• Stake: 5/10

Denmark vs Slovenia: Down to the Wire

Denmark, Euro Qualifier, Friday November 17th, 19:45 (UK)

Group H looks intriguing. Kazakhstan sits four points off qualification, with Slovenia and Denmark tied on 19 points; only a goal splits them at the top of the division ahead of the pair’s duel in Copenhagen on Friday.

The hosts played the pantomime villains in their last game as they crushed minnows San Marino’s hopes of a huge scalp. The Red and Whites went off at 1.01 to win the game but went into the final 20 minutes all square before Yussuf Poulsen spared his side’s blushes.

Rasmus Hojlund ruffled the hosts’ feathers that evening after grabbing his seventh goal of the qualifying campaign, a tally only Romelu Lukaku (10) and Cristiano Ronaldo (9) can trump.

The Manchester United man’s tally accounts for 41% of his country’s goals, and without his firepower Kasper Hjulmand’s side may struggle to threaten. Especially considering Hojlund’s teammate, Christian Erikison, could be unavailable for Friday.

Given the ramifications of this fixture, Denmark’s nervy display in San Marino and their injuries to key personnel, I am leaning towards a lack of goals in Scandinavia.

• Selection: Under 2.5 Goals
• Best Odds: 1.73
• Bookmaker: bet365
• Stake: 5/10

Netherlands vs Rep of Ireland: Kenny’s Boys No Pushovers

Netherlands, Euro Qualifier, Saturday November 18th, 19:45 (UK)

Netherlands host the Republic of Ireland on Saturday evening in Group B.

The hosts may be heavily odds on to beat the Irish and have won twice as many points, but this clash should not be as comfortable as Oranje’s odds on price suggests.

Ronald Koeman’s side have lost both their games with France, the first a 4-0 thumping, which will have been a damage to the ego of the nation as they should have been competing with Les Bleus for top spot.

Instead, four points off the pace, it leaves the Netherlands scrambling for second spot, and it is their performances against the rest of the group that is cause for concern.

They are vying for qualification with Greece, the pair level on points, though Ethniki have played a game more. When the sides met during the last international break, a 90+3 Virgil van Dijk penalty proved to be the difference.

Stephen Kenny’s side’s hopes of qualification hang by a thread, the defeat against Greece last month put a major dent in their hopes. Injuries to key personnel also make the chances of a result in Amsterdam slim, John Egan is unavailable, and Evan Ferguson and Chiedozie Ogbene are doubts.

With the attacking duo unlikely to feature from the off, it is difficult to see how the Boys in Green cause the hosts any issues.

That is not to say we will not see a spirited performance from the visitors who ran France close in both games and the Netherlands in the reverse.

Backing the hosts to edge a low-scoring affair is the bet.

• Selection: Netherlands & Under 3.5 Goals
• Best Odds: 1.91
• Bookmaker: SkyBet
• Stake: 5/10
