Mar. 26th: Int’l. Friendly Games; Top Betting Tips

Scotland were my Super Single in the Daily Record on Wednesday and I toyed with the idea of putting them up as a 10-pointer but 1,60 was too short.

In the end I took Scotland plus Germany/Germany HT/FT. Joachim Low didn’t name as strong a side as expected but it included big names such as Reus, Goetze and Ozil and should have been good enough. But
fair play to the Aussies for drawing with the world champions in their own backyard and without star striker Tim Cahill.
Luckily the usual suspects posted some winners, with goals bets again proving their worth, so it was a decent day in the main.

I’m afraid it’s all about friendlies again tonight with the standout match being France v Brazil in Paris. PSG defender and Brazil skipper Thiago Silva returns for his country after missing that 7-1 World Cup semi-final defeat to German but his clubmates Marquinhos and David Luiz are injured.
Arsenal’s Gabriel Paulista has been drafted in for the France game and another friendly against Chile in London on Sunday.
France will be without crocked Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris and Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba and I’ll hope for more team news on Thursday.
There are no other European teams in action so I don’t know if I’ll be putting up any tips ahead of the Euro 2016 qualifiers on Friday.
Other games include Qatar v Algeria, Bahrain v Colombia and Iran v Chile and if anyone has a steer or team news on any of these let’s be having it.
