Tunisia vs Ivory Coast: 2
Montenegro vs Norway: 2
Egypt vs Argentina: O/2.5
Ivory Coast play their game in France and should beat Tunisia. They have lots of classy players and I predict 2-0.
Norway was very weak when they lost 3-0 against Wales in their last game and should be very keen on a victory now to prove that they are better than they showed then. New Norwegian centreback Reginussen will be very interesting to watch. A big talent. Montenegro have a couple of good players, but no chance this time. The field is in poor state and could of course cause some weird situations tonight. Norway will win 2-0.
I expect some goals in the Egypt vs Argentina match. Argentina will score the most. 3-1 I predict.
Interesting, home win for Bulgaria against Finland today seems to be one of the most popular bets worldwide. The price for Bulgaria is dropping respectively and is around 1.70 or lower. Bulgarian local bastards offer 1.50
OK there are reasons for that. The Finns are coming to Sofia without many of their players and don't seem to take that game very seriously. On the other hand Bulgarian team scored a good win against Norn Ireland last month and the players are keen to prove that the national team is something more than an average squad that usually finishes 3rd in the qualifying groups for the big tournaments. Yes, the home team will search the win and shouldn't have big troubles to achieve it. No players missing and the main ones are in decent form, Berbatov especially. So, this should be a home win, it could even be comfortable, but as long as it's a friendly game I wouldn't put big money on it.
Another good bet related to that game is Finland not to score, I'm still in a search for offers, but I'd take it gladly at price higher than 2.10-2.20.
Sorry for not posting all this time but when you work 12-14 hours the day is hard to search things to help you.Anyway, i decided that isn't that kind to "take" only and i'll "give" some of my (right hopefully) thoughts . Let's go:
As you can see greek formation will be 4-3-3. IMO Greece is much better than the team of 2004, at least offensively. Is a game that will be played in Germany and more than 10.000 greek fans are expected. Given the portuguese absences i certainly believe that there is value in X2 for Greece. IMO there is also value in OVER 2,5 goals (@2,20 in bwin) cause as i said before, greek isn't the team of 2004 that they tried to defense but they have great offense and they can score a lot. Given the quality of Portuguese team i think OVER is very probable. Just to remind that all three greek attackers are playing in German league and they know the ground well (if that's important).
Croatian first 11, by coach Bilić after training last night:
...........................Pletikosa .....Ćorluka, Robert Kovač, Šimunić, Pranjić, ........Srna, Niko Kovač, Modrić, Kranjčar, ..........................Olić, Petrić
very good, like it a lot, finally Šimić (Milan) is out, he is not playing in Italy at all, rest of the boys are all in good shape and playing well for their teams, looking forward to it. Hopefully, we can't be bad twice in a row

yes,it is very popular, limited options tonight, this one is my best selection-bulgaria home win- shall i take it or not? i mean, is it any probability of draw fixing coz of "popularity"?
Can well be a draw but with a couple of regular def. missing and the new coach with " want's an entertaining game for the Bulgarian spectators" I'd say OVER.
We can sometimes actually do quite good when without pressure, remember Portugal a few of years ago!
Very strange, indeed, the odds for Bulgaria started to drift, now up to 1.83 at bet365.
I can't talk about fixing, Martens, I'm not a fan of fixing conspiracies, although there's too much waffling about that, in the Balkans and Eastern Europe especially.
None of us can give a proof, so it's useless to talk about fixing, I'd rather give a miss to a game that's talked to be fixed, unless there's some great value of course.
I don't think that's the case today, if everything is to be decided on the pitch I reckon the motivation will be the main factor and Bulgarian players can't afford to fail.
But I'll say it again - small stakes, although I'm tempted to pile on Bulgaria, especially at the higher price now.
just a small notice,i don't understand WHY WE MUST BET ON FRIENDLIES GAMES especially this part of the season(the end),if you want so much to bet at least try on the live betting,good luck to all and remember BETTING NEVER ENDS.BOOKIES ARE GOING TO EXIST FOR EVER!!!!
Aye sorry Mrs Smith, I was looking at 2007 stats and didnt realise Croatia had allready played Holland this yr, my mistake as they were showing up having won 3/3 on that stat chart.
Still I'll will stick with the Croats for all the reasons allready mentioned, I would also fancy England but @ such an important part of the domestic season I can't see anybody willing to break a leg in this one so to speak.
