2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers

[Swordsoffreedom]

When Croatia played away against Slovakia, Croatia could win the match. But what happened last night, the match ended in a draw and I lost the bet because of that and so I'm not sure that Croatia will win in the last match against Russia. Russia itself is not a weak team that is easy to beat and however with the advantage in the standings, I really believe Russia will be able to maintain that position to come out as group winners.

My expectation was that Croatia would win the match. But they drew the match. They started the defensive game after Slovakia scored their second goal. Because they had already gone ahead 2-1. Croatia could not score more than one goal in the second half despite attacking a lot. Croatia ate well but they could not break Slovakia's defense.

[3meek]

Yesterday, as I predicted, Slovakia surprised Croatia with a draw! Once again I am convinced that when bookmakers heavily inflate the odds in non-obvious matches, they are misleading people!

I think today's match of the day is Denmark v Austria... Austria, although they haven't been playing very well lately, but I think they will be able to score at least one goal here...

Turkey is playing really bad and currently i dont see them reaching the World Cup.

I agree that Turkey is not doing well, in today's game I regretted betting on them, they scored a goal in their own goal and were lucky to win this game, the regrettable thing about it is that Turkey is in a very accessible group, it was expected that they had a good position in this group, but norway managed to be better positioned in relation to turkey

I have always thought that the reason for why this is the case is that many of the best players of each national team play in Europe and they play in a certain way, however when they go back to their respective national teams they are forced to play in a completely different way and as such their performance decreases, and what better example of this than Messi, Messi played incredibly at Barcelona but when he played with Argentina his level went down, he did not played horribly but you could clearly see something was missing.

I think this is because the national team players, some are from weak teams and with a completely different level of playing, and also the coaches, some of them have different ways of playing.

Turkey drew with Montenegro and Latvia. In fact, they could beat both teams. Montenegro found a free kick goal in extra time and made the match 2-2. As such, it is actually 4 points below its expected score. Because Norway did not lose points to these teams. Turkey has good players individually, but they can't play a good game as a team. They won the game with a penalty they found in the extra time against Latvia last night. It was controlled with VAR technology and a penalty was given. Burak scored the goal and earned 3 points, which is very important for Turkey. Their next matches are Gibraltar and Montenegro. They had no choice but to beat both teams and wait for the Netherlands to beat Norway. However, they had a great start to the group with their wins against the Netherlands and Norway.

Of course that Croatia managed to complicate it once again. There's not much I can blame them for though, we were much better than Slovakia throughout the game but they scored 2 goals from their only 2 shots on target

Since Russia won against Slovenia, that means we have secured extra qualifications but also means that we will have to beat Russia in the last game of the group stage to earn direct qualification.

We are a better team so I still believe we'll claim the 1st spot.

When I warned in my previous post that Slovakia is a very good team that undeservedly lost the game in Russia, and they unfortunately lost the game against Croatia at home, no one took me seriously.
At the beginning of the second half, Slovakia missed a great opportunity to score the third goal and solve the game, and Croatia was saved by Modric with his fantastic goal.
Only then did Croatia gain confidence and start playing at a higher level, but it was too late.
The first half was very bad for Croatia, very insecure defense and very bad attack without any idea and with just a few concrete chances.
The match with Russia will be more a matter of mental strength and psychology than quality, and Croatian players are now quite psychologically shaken.
Matches like this are always very difficult to play and very uncertain.

Today we have another round of qualifying matches for the World Cup - European zone:

Group A:
Portugal vs Luxembourg
Serbia vs Azerbaijan

Group B:
Kosovo vs Georgia
Sweden vs Greece

Group C:
Bulgaria vs Northern Ireland
Lithuania vs Switzerland

Group D:
Kazakhstan vs Finland
Ukraine vs Bosnia and Herzegovina

Group F:
Denmark vs Austria
Faroe Islands vs Scotland
Israel vs Moldova

Group I:
Albania vs Poland
England vs Hungary
San Marino vs Andorra


What are your bets?

Portugal would want to win against Luxembourg and in the same time hoping on the group leader Serbia to draw or lose. But i think this game is an easy bone for both teams. So i am rooting Portugal to win 3:0. While Serbia should be able to win Azerbaijan 2:0. The Kosovo vs Georgia game is a difficult one even though both teams do not have anything to lose. The last tie, Kosovo won. I think it will still repeat itself, maybe this time Kosovo will score more goals. The Sweden vs Greece is more likely a fight for the second place. Greece won in the first tie, and Sweden looks more likely to win today. They will want to maintain their spot behind Spain. The Lithuania vs Switzerland is an easy one for the Swiss. Switzerland will comfortably by 3:0. Ukraine vs Bosnia may likely end up in a draw. Both teams are fighting for the second spot behind France.

Turkey plays too unstable, and Norway deserves more to reach the playoffs. I suppose that Norway in the playoffs will be able to achieve better results than Turkey, because even in games with the middle peasants Turkey can play to a draw. They will certainly win Giblartar, but the game with Montenegro may not be as simple, as well as the game with the Netherlands, for Norway.

I believe that both Portugal and Serbia will win. I would also like Serbia to lose or draw, but that shouldn't happen. By the way, they must even be games with many goals.

A game that should be very interesting to watch will be England vs Hungary. Hungary have been doing very well, and they certainly won't make it easier against England.

No, no, no... Croatia didn't play good in first, but it didn't play good in the second half. They played better defence in the second half, but Slovakia was more concentrated on the defense. To be more precise, we played good everything except when someone was suppose to shoot that ball into the goal. I don't understand that an attacker gets a great pass and then shoots like my grandma. None of the goals that Croatia scored came from the play because yesterday there was no one to shoot the ball like an attacker is suppose to. Too bad because we would need only a draw in the last match against Russia if we had won yesterday (I'm counting on both wins for Croatia and Russia in the next round). Now we will need to win against Russia, but that's not impossible.

Main game today is obviously clash between football giants from San Marino and Andorra. Whole world is waiting for it! I'm backing Andorra here because IMO they're just slightly better.
Nice odds for Ukraine win. They will play at home with fans support and I think they are stronger a bit.
I also back Sweden against Greece tonight.
Portugal - Luxembourg looks easy on paper, but Portugal never scored more than 3 goals against them. I think this time result won't be big again.
Also,I can't resist from betting Poland, Seeing 2.00 odds.

I like those games because they are hard to predict and you have a couple of good options to bet. It is kinda like Spain against Italy. All is possible, unlike most other qualifiers where there is usually a very clear favorite. I would also see Andorra as a slight favorite, but I would rather bet on a draw or all teams to score. As I said, there are a few good options.

[KTChampions]

Belarus - Czech Republic
11,00- 5,60 - 1,27

‍Norway - Montenegro
1,46 - 4,10 - 7,80

Iceland - Liechtenstein
1,11 - 6,80 - 20,00

North Macedonia - Germany
12,00 - 6,00 - 1,18

Latvia - Turkey
‍6,80 - 4,30 - 1,47

Estonia - Wales
7,00 - 3,65 - 1,55

In my opinion, the bets on favorites in these pairs are very suitable for multi-bet lovers. If you select all the outcomes, you get a very solid coefficient of 5.53 (+ bonus for the length of the multi-bet, which differs from bookmaker to bookmaker).

I do this and I also I have this multibet:

Mozambique - Cameroon (I bet on Cameroon)

Egypt - Libya ( I bet on egypt, they are playing well salah has been very important for egypt )

Ghana - Zimbabwe ( I bet on Ghana )

I also multibet for argentina, brazil and chile victories I still think that argentina can harm me in this multi

  I must say that all the matches that I have chosen went according to plan.
If you made a bet on all the matches listed by me and you, then I should notice that you are greedy  In my opinion, the bet on Ghana is too risky, the coefficient 1.8 is not suitable for multi-bets. As for South America, I would be more worried about Brazil - Urguay is a strong team (and Brazil is relaxed since the gap from competitors is great) and may well play a draw.

You had a good feeling, and once again it turned out that it is not the better team that wins on the field, but the one who plays with more heart and desire to achieve a good result. In addition, how to explain that the Croatian coach is persistently forcing Andrej Kramaric as the main striker - the man scored the first goal yesterday after failing to achieve it in the past year, and also missed 6+ chances in yesterday's game. Now some are talking about the need to beat Russia and everything will be fine, and they forget that before that Croatia should beat Malta away, and that team has already been a black cat for Croatia in the past.

I personally think Turkey spent all its chances already. That last minute goal made them 3 points although team played so bad in the match. Especially squad feels talented but not playing as working dynamic team. I think even if Turkey wins its last 2 matches I would bet on its opponent at play-offs. Norway is less talented than Turkey in overall but deserved play-offs. Turkey has technical issues with management to fix in long run. That's it.

Placed my bets on Andorra, not a big football fan but I definitely love seeing them play, been putting an eye on Andorra and did a comparison between 2 teams before placing my bet, glad that I made such a comfort choice knowing that Andorra is much more of a fan favorite than San Marino, not planning to hop on the bandwagon but I think they can win over San Marino as being the last place in the group.

I can understand if you say Turkey played badly against Latvia, even though we know Turkey won the match in the end. But Turkey wasted too
many chances, did not look solid teamwork, even the victory could be obtained in the last minute of the match. Turkey must improve their game,
so that Turkey can win their next remaining match against Gibraltar and Montenegro. It should be with the quality of players that Turkey has,
they can easily win against these two teams.

[buwaytress]

Aussies playing with all they got and game's still 1-1 against Japan right now. Tempted to snatch 9/1 for them to win in with 15 mins left plus injury but I'll pass.

Meanwhile, has Greece not done enough to warrant better odds? Caught it at almost 5/1 against Sweden, they have got at least a goal in them and the Swedes already lost to them before. Still the only team not to lose in the group too. They need this win to ensure they're in the race to qualify too.

[dwminer1]

We will see today some interesting matches. Especially matches in Groups D and I are going to be interesting. In Group D, Ukraine, second in the table, will host Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ukraine will be very close to promotion if it wins. In the event of a different result, the topic of promotion remains open, and Finland may still join the fight, which today is playing with Kazakhstan, the weakest in the group. Albania hosts Poland in Group I. In case of victory, the hosts will be practically sure of promotion. It is enough for them to defeat weak Andorra in the last group match. A draw or a victory for Poland leaves the matter of promotion open. I bet on a draw in this match.

[3meek]

Another interesting match, I think, is Ukraine vs Bosnia-Herzegovina... Of course Ukraine play at home, and they seem to look stronger, but... If you look at the statistics of the last games, you can see that Bosnia are playing just as well! A draw against France, a draw and a win against Kazakhstan... Bosnia scores in almost every match, so I think both teams will score today! X2 is also an interesting bet...

A draw only leaves the promotion open if Hungary beats Poland in their direct match,therefore I only think it is going to be a win or a lost game today and I exclude the bet of the draw.Albania will do the best they can to assure the win,by the way since I live here from a couple of years the tickets are already sold since long ago and the stadium is going to be extra full tonight which I think can give a boost to the team.The only player that makes a difference is Lewandoski of Poland as if we compare all other players with the Albania team,most of the Albania team play in better European teams so I am betting for an Albania win although this looks extremely difficult.

The Turkish national team defeats Latvia 2-1 to keep their World Cup dreams alive. Turkey did waste too many chances, but injury time and VAR checks also wasted too much time. Let's face it, the Latvian players are rolling on the floor almost all the time. They still have two matches left. Interesting fact: for the first time in 35,527 days, Turkey beat Latvia. The last time they won against Latvia was in 1924! Turkey can now be proud.
