Scotland vs Republic of Ireland

Home - Scotland
Last away matches - D-L-W-W-W-L

Scotland only lost 1 of their last 5 matches but that doesn’t mean they have won other 4 matches. They have 2 wins and 2 draws in these last 5 matches. In this time they scored a total of 7 goals while conceding 6 goals. Although their offense looked reliable but their defense couldn’t back them up properly. They need to improve on both section and keep a better teamwork, thus they will be able to win more matches.

Away - Republic of Ireland
Last away matches - L-D

Republic of Ireland is undefeated for last 4 matches. Their last loss came against Portugal where they were devastated but after that they bounced back and at the moment looking very solid. If we take their last 5 match into consideration then we see, they scored 13 goals in this time while they conceded 7 goals, 5 of which came from Portugal. They even managed a draw against Germany in their last match and thus it becomes clear that they are the favorites to win this match. If they play at their usual pace then this match will become an easy win for them.

Asian Handicap

Portugal vs Armenia

Home - Portugal
Last away matches - W-L-D-L-W-W

Portugal on the other hand might not be at their best at the time but they are in way better than Armenia. They managed to win 2 of their last 5 matches while they lost 2 of those matches. The other match was a draw and that came against United States. They are coming to this match after defeating Denmark in their last match. In these 5 matches they put up a good fight against every opponent. Ronaldo seems to be in form and that might be the key point in this match. In theses 5 matches Portugal scored 6 goals while they conceded 6 goals as well. They looked mediocre in the field but still they will be playing this match as the favorites.

Away - Armenia
Last away matches - L-L-L-L-W-L

Armenia’s recent matches have been devastating for them. They barely managed to avoid loss in one occasion and that ended in draw too. Their performance have been so lacking that other teams are hammering them. Their only draw came against Serbia when the scorecard was 1-1. In these 5 matches they conceded a total of 14 goals while only scoring 3 goals. It says that neither their defense nor their offense is strong enough to pose any big threats against a team like Portugal. But they have the capability to hold Portugal off and get a draw in the process. But they will be playing this match as the underdogs and not the favorites.

Asian Handicap
Home - (-2.25)
Away - (+2.25)
Pick - Armenia (+2.25)
Odds - 1.74
Stakes - 10/10

Greece vs Faroe Islands

Home - Greece
Last away matches - D-L-D-L-D-D

Greece isn’t in much better shape anyway. They lost 3 of their last 5 matches. They scored 4 goals in this time while allowing 6 goals. Their offense and defense both needs work but they are in a bit better position than their opponents. They will clearly be the favorites to win this match but it won’t be easy for them considering their present form. So they need to improve themselves if they want to keep winning.

Away - Faroe Islands
Last away matches - L-W-L-L-L-L

Faroe Islands lost 4 of their last 5 matches and managed 1 win against Gibraltar. Their offense and defense both were lagging and their weak performance have been haunting them in their recent plays. They are lacking team work and thus even after playing defensively, many holes have been opening up for opponents. That’s the reason they allowed 10 goals in only last 5 matches. However they did score 8 goals but 4 of them came from their winning match. So basically they need to improve in all departments if they want to win matches.

Asian Handicap
Home - (-1.75)
Away - (+1.75)
Pick - Greece (-1.75)
Odds - 1.71
Stakes - 8/10
