I fancy England to win this one and top the qualifying group on their way to lifting the trophy in 2010.

Lays of Scotland and Republic of Ireland away for me.

Israel to beat Switzerland at home and if I was ever desperate enough to back a 1/10 shot, Portugal in Malta would be the sort of bet I'd be looking for.

I was just about to say, Georgia are always a tough prospect at home before remembering there was some.... 'unrest' in those parts:

The Republic of Ireland's World Cup qualifier against Georgia on September 6 is to be played in Mainz, Germany, Fifa has confirmed. World football's governing body has ordered the match to be switched from Tbilisi because of security fears in Georgia.

A Fifa statement cited "the current unrest in Georgia" as the reason for the rescheduling. "Although the Georgian Football Federation (GFF) had hoped to host this match at home in Tbilisi, it will now be played in Mainz, Germany on the originally-scheduled date of September 6, 2008 with Georgia acting as the host association.

"Last week, Fifa had asked the GFF to name an alternative venue for this match in order to be prepared should the situation in Georgia still require a neutral venue."

Still looks a tough game to me. Would it be a massive shock to see Georgia grab at least a point? 4.60 they are @ Unibet I see.

And are Iceland as bad those odds suggest? There's going to be some shocks among that lot that's for sure. Who are traditionally rock hard at home in qualifying? Get your tips out for the lads.

Thanks for backing up my lay of Ireland Mickey

Craig Bellamy has been ruled out of Wales' first two World Cup games against Azerbaijan and Russia. After assessment at the Wales camp, boss John Toshack agreed with West Ham boss Alan Curbishley that the striker was not fit for international football.

I could have told them that

[MickeyPaul]

You nipped in before me you scamp. I was going to mention Israel too actually. From what I recall they're pretty solid at home in recent times. And I'm not going to argue with laying Scotland to be honest although I won't be going near that one in any capacity. I can see it being the usual scrappy, sloppy, nervy display on the road against a side we're 'meant' to beat.

Hi all forumers, its been a while since i have been here. Its World Cup qualifiers again and i will preview the African qualifiers which also serves as qualifiers for the 2010 African cup of Nations. I know Bet365 will have odds on it later in the week.

Kenya Vs Namibia
Kenya simply do not loose in Nairobi. Kenya will win with at least a 2 goal difference so a handicap can also be staked. This is a BANKER so all must stake.

Burkina Faso vs Tunisia
This is one match i am waiting to see the odds. Burkina faso, i cant remeber the last time they lost or drew on home soil. They have already beaten the Tunisians in the first round and i see them repeating the feat. I will go for a home win.

Congo DR Vs Egypt
Kinshasa is one hell of a place to visit and Congo DR are very strong. They play the African champions Egypt. Though i am tempted to stake for home win, i will play safe and stake Congo DR not to loose. For me 1x is a safe and sure bet as i dont see Egypt winning and their best will be a draw. So 1x for me.

Here are other matches i also think will be interesting but i will only put small stakes on.

South Africa Vs Nigeria
Nigeria always have the upper hand over South Africa irrespective of the place of the match. Nigeria will have key absentees as Mikel Obi, Yobo and Kanu are out due to injury. I would have gone for a straight away victory but due to the injury situation i will stake Nigeria not to loose so x2 for me is a safe bet.

Niger Vs Uganda
Niger are a poor side, though uganda have lost their coach to Hearts in Scotland, i still think they have too much for Niger. Away win for me

Lesotho Vs Gabon
Lesotho are also a poor side and i see Gabon beating them in Maseru. Away win for me

Gambia Vs Liberia
Gambia should win this one. Home win

Benin Vs Angola
Pretty tough match, but i see Benin winning, well let me play safe and go for 1x

Mauritania Vs Rwanda
Rwanda wont loose this game x2 is a safe bet.

Good luck to everyone

I want us (scotland) to do well but with the number of call offs & this heat 100+ I find it hard to be optimistic...

24hrs to get used to heat & play so not very confident.I see the price is on mac is going down. mmmmmmmmm..

[Cinny]

I think its time for Ireland to start delivering, decent squad with a lot of players playing top flight football. It isnt even an away game for us we dont have to got to Tbilisi, we play the Georgians in Mainz, Germany. Possibly sentimental but i think we'll win, especially as its a neutral venue.

[selectabet]

I agree betfly, would like to see us get off to a win but I think we'll struggle in Macedonia.

They did OK in Euro 2008. England only won 1-0 over there and they got a draw at Wembley. They also beat Croatia 2-1 at home - although I think Croatia had qualified by then. They certainly weren't embarrassed in the group with only Russia winning comfortably against them.

George Burley hasn't exactly got off to a flier and I just wonder how good he's going to be as national boss. I'll need to see how big Macedonia are I think.

if its good enough for you its good enough for me

Im getting Macendonia @ 11/5 in my local, looks an absolute cracker price considering scottish injuries, the temperature in Macedonia and their great performances against England in the past few years. They seem well up for this after having a read in other forums. Theyll also be eager to get 3 points at home because harder games lie ahead for them. Ive just seem on boylesports Macedonia are now 13/8
