If the favorites always won, it wouldn't matter, would it?

For me and in general, it is good to see the underdog teams challenging the favorite teams and why not winning against them but this is not always the case for bettors who might be tricked by a good odds that turn up to be a trick since Farao or other nations made surprises. I don't know if you get what I mean.
In Qatar World Cup for example, everyone remembered how Morocco advanced very well and how Saudi Arabia beat Argentina. It sticks in the mind of everyone

We have a crucial away match against Bulgaria tonight. Our aim is nothing more than three points. If Turkey wins these three points, we'll have an advantage in the race for second place in the group, our only chance to qualify for the World Cup. Then we have a home match against Georgia, and we absolutely must win. We did the hard part and won in Georgia. We want to secure a comfortable home victory and become the second team after Spain to advance from the group.

Bulgaria national football team performance was very bad in the last match as they did only 1 goal in the last match and they could not compete in this match as opponent team did 6 goals in this match and that team bent the match to their sides and Yıldız was a person who did 2 goals in the last match which was excellent performance by that player. He did his first goal at 51 minutes of the match and that goal was in the second half of the match and after that we saw goal at 56 minutes and he made match one sided at this crutial situation as team needed to do more goals in this match and Türkiye national team was successful to do goals again and again And won the match in the end .

I'm just glad that after seeing low odds I decided not to bet on ML tonight. Plenty of strange results. Main upset tonight is Kosovo win against Sweden. And it's completely fair result. Sweden with 1 point after 4 games have no chances to qualify.
France didn't managed to beat Iceland, game ended 2:2. Germany had difficult game with North Ireland and got only minimal win. Ukraine won against Azerbaijan, but it was really tough.

Group A is a really interesting one. Because Germany lost to Slovakia, now 3 teams have 6 points. But today Germany should be able to change this look by a win over Northern Ireland.

Group B... Sweden still have only 1 point which sounds ridiculous.    Because they are strong especially offensively. Today they should finally get their 1st win. It's against Kosovo home.

The last addition to my parlay will be Belgium win against Wales away. The riskiest is that, I know.

- Germany @1.33
- Sweden @1.35
- Belgium @1.74

Total: 3.12 odds

I completely agree about Germany and Belgium. I was expecting them to win and they did so without much difficulty. But I had my doubts about Sweden. Despite being favorites, they lost without even scoring a goal. I guess there was a valid reason why they only got one point in the group so far.

They only scored in the Slovenia match and failed to score in the remaining three matches. It's definitely surprising that a team with Isak and Gyökeres in the forward is in this position. Looking at the opponents, they're not big countries that are difficult to score against. Switzerland, Kosovo and Slovenia. So this situation seems very suspicious to me. It seems like something that shouldn't normally happen.

Wales and Belgium were a high-octane, high-scoring match. Belgium were the more experienced and had better players.
As home team Wales started the match with a lot of pressure. There were plenty of comebacks and drama, which made the match even more exciting.
As the Welsh fans left the pitch in despair in the 87th minute, Wales scored a goal, sparking some hope, but Belgium responded immediately, and the score finished 4-2.
Belgium leads the group, unbeaten and with only one draw.

All the unbelievable results in todays games are clear indication  that know matter the assurance you get in gambling, know game is hundred percent sure. Sao tome and Principe won against Malawi a 20 odd game but yet it happened still proving the main reason while they said we show gamble with what we can loss and never what we can't loss. The bottom line of all is know game is completely sure and everyone that so much believes him self may end up destroying himself at last

Belgium team got two penalties in 18 minutes and 76 minutes and here Belgium team created enough chances to win. And with the magic of feet scored two more goals and later became stronger Belgium team won 4-2 in total. But Wales was able to score goals in the beginning and in the end of the game, but many mistakes were identified by the players of Wales team. Wales team they performed great but because of their mistakes they were forced to lose this match.

Exactly like my multiple bet, only I added Slovakia, and the overall odds came out to 4.57. Surprisingly, losing because of Sweden, right? It was impossible to imagine that instead of winning at home, they would officially be relegated from the 2026 World Cup.
By the way, I expected a more convincing victory from Germany, the only one who fully lived up to expectations was Belgium, after a goalless draw they showed a good game against Wales.

Belgium is used to be one of the best teams in Europe and the world in the past decade and it dropped now. Wales used to be quite good too with Gareth Bale.
it is good to see Kevin De Bruyne still scoring even though he scored from two penalties. Wales scored first but failed to keep this advantage for more than 10 minutes. It isn't a bad result after all against Belgium but they could do better.
This round had quite weird results with France, Switzerland, Sweden failing to collect 3 points.

Portugal didn't managed to take ticket to World Cup yet. Their game with Hungary ended as Szoboszlai equalised score on 90+1 minute. In general, it was great game to watch as both teams played good football.
Ddin't expexted such easy Turkey win against quite strong Georgia. After 0:6 against Spain in last window, now Turkey had perfect window, scoring 10 goals in 2 games.
International break is over and we finally back to club football again. But for not so long, until middle of November and last window this year.

Szoboszlai goal at last minutes make Portugal must waiting for the next match if want get directly qualifying to World Cup, standings position Portugal have 5 points remaining from Hungary and winning 1 of 2 matches left enough for Cristiano Ronaldo cs get participant at World Cup 2026. Cristiano Ronaldo unstoppable last night after successful scoring two goal sand his record target too close for scoring 1000 goal.

Turkey return back to winning trend after defating by Spain last two match loss over 0-6 and scoring 10 goals of two matches against Bulgaria and Georgia, now Turkey have 3 point remaining with Spain and last match qualifying both national team will face each other. If first and secon standing depend on how many goal scoring seems Turkey difficult get top place because have conceded 10 goals although scoring 13 goal regarding Spain without conceded one goal yet and scoring 15 goals.

In fact, it was quite easy for us.    We finished the job in the 1st half already which I was expecting so. We just slammed the brakes in the 2nd half which helped Georgia start creating proper goal chances.

But there was still a 4-1 win at the end... Yeah, that 0-6 loss vs Spain is something I'm trying to forget. We were terrible.

International break is over and we finally back to club football again. But for not so long, until middle of November and last window this year.

Yeah, finally! They'll combine the international breaks in September and October as of next year at least. I hate seeing club football being interrupted so often.

While Europeans, Asians and Africans national teams are playing their qualifiers, other nations are trying to improve their squad while doing some friendlies.
Brazil for example programmed two matches these two weeks, the first against Senegal this Saturday and the other the next Tuesday against Tunisia.
Both of these nations didn't lose any game in their group and they topped it and qualified to the FIFA World Cup. Senegal game will be more challenging while Tunisia one will boost Brazil confidence I think.
Other interesting friendlies might be Japan - Ghana, Saudi Arabia - Ivory Coast, USA - Paraguay... Meanwhile I fail to understand why Argentina chose Angola to play against, they finished 4th in their group and the level between these two teams is quite big.

International matches can be tricky to predict since team chemistry and player fatigue vary a lot. Clubs like France or Portugal tend to dominate with individual brilliance, but smaller teams often cover spreads due to tighter defense. Watching odds drift before kickoff usually shows where sharp money goes.

Which upcoming match do you think could surprise the favorites this week?

France will face Ukraine while Portugal will play against Ireland but these two matches are official ones and not friendlies. They are parts of FIFA World Cup European Qualifiers so it will be intense especially between France and Ukraine since the difference between them is only three points. France will not lose this game tho. Otherwise, Ireland is week so Portugal victory is obvious.
For friendlies, the results are quite random, Tunisia used to dominate Mauritania in CAF but they just got a draw against it. The other games played are among low tier teams so nothing interesting.
Argentina, Ivory Coast, Egypt and Morocco should win their games. For Brazil and Senegal, I am not very confident about that match. We tend to select Brazil as the winner but Brazil is weak now even though Carlo Ancelotti is trying to boost the performance of the team. So we might see a surprise here.

Tomorrow there will be a match between argentina vs angola. Argentina will be favorites in this match. So everyone will put Argentina ahead based on performance. In the last match Argentina won 6-0 against Puerto Rico. So hopefully Argentina can win this match by a big margin because Angola is not a strong team. Do you think Argentina can win this match by a big margin?

Reported from several top media, Angola must spent out much money get deal for facing Argentina at friendly match, fully balance as Argentina is the top teams who 1st standings based on FIFA rank and Angola including regulation Lionel Messi must play for this friendly match. I don't know well with Angola will easily for making the match balance because the previous promising Argentina team must playing Lionel Messi, this match will have high intention because Lionel Messi will play and great opportunity for Angola national teams fans they can watch Messi directly playing at their stadium.

As Indonesia's fans most expected seeing Messi but last time our national team facing Argentina Lionel Messi absent and taking holiday than playing with his national teams against Indonesia team.

This game started with controversy because the Angolan government spent a lot of money to pay the Argentinian national team for this friendly match. This is because the Angolan government is celebrating its independence and is therefore using this game as another form of entertainment for the Angolan people.

Now, leaving the political aspect aside and talking about the technical aspects involving these two national teams, it's a fact that the Angolan national team is weak, weaker than my country's national team, so I see Argentina winning the game. Now the problem is whether they will score many goals or not. I say this because if a lot of money was paid for them to play in Angola, and it's a special date for Angola, as they are celebrating their independence, I sincerely doubt that the Argentinian national team will take the game very seriously.

Yes, there are no guarantees to winnings, even the big sides also flop, but it doesn't necessarily mean that you could just see a small team and choose them over a strong team just because you think the match is going to the negative way, it is better to choose the better side at least to keep your hopes up before, during and after the game, because such big odds don't often come to expectation as often anticipated by some pundits.

Considering the strength of the team, Argentina will be the favorite, Argentina's form has been very good recently, so it is expected that Argentina will secure a big win in the match against Angola. If we look at the results of the last five matches, we will see that Argentina has secured a hundred percent victory in four out of five matches and they have drawn only one match.
If Argentina can maintain this winning streak in tomorrow's match, then they will have won all of their last five matches. Even if Angola loses this match, they will not have any regrets because it will be a big thing for them that they have been able to organize a match against Argentina and they have got a chance to play against Argentina.

Norway are currently dominating the match against Estonia as it should be. It has taken them a lot of time to score those goals. But now they have open the doors for another victory and I guess they wouldn't mess up.

I don't doubt Italy against Moldova either. However the thing is that it looks really hard for Italy to finish this group in 1st place. GD is where they look at first in case of equal points even if they defeat Norway.

I guess you wouldn't also expect Italy to get past them in GD.
