Football
The last few places are up for grabs for the World Cup in Brazil and all eyes are on Cristian v Zlatan as Portugal host Sweden (Portugal/Sweden 0.8-1) tomorrow night (Friday).
We have in-play betting on that game plus Greece/Romania 0.45-0.65, Croatia/Iceland (h) 0.45-0.65 and France/Ukraine (h) 0.1-0.3 on Friday and Nigeria/Ethiopia 1.75-.195, Ivory Coast/Senegal (h) 0.65-0.85 and Cameroon/Tunisia 0.7-0.9 on Saturday.

Already qualified England take on Chile on Friday and Germany on Tuesday in two friendlies. Chile have scored 30 goals in their last 12 games losing just once in that time and drew 2-2 with World Champions Spain in September. Our Total Goals quote for this one is 2.65-2.85.

A shock 2-0 victory over Croatia shows that maybe Scotland are moving in the right direction under Gordan Strachan. But will they continue their fine form against Jurgen Klinsmann’s side? They will certainly hope to avoid a repeat of the 5-1 mauling the USA dished out when they met back in 2012. USA/Scotland 0.05-0.25.

The dream team of Martin O’Neill and Roy Keane take control of the national side for the first time as the Republic of Ireland take on Latvia. Will it be a winning start to their reign? We have the hosts as 1/4 for the win, with Latvia at 11/1 and the draw 17/4.

Michael O’Neill takes his Northern Ireland side to Turkey (Turkey/N. Ireland 1.55-1.75) while Wales host Finland (Wales/Finland 0.2-0.4).

Don’t forget our Premier League and Champions League long term prices. Our Premier League 60-40-20-10-5 Index has Arsenal at 31-34, Manchester City 28-31, Chelsea 28-31, Manchester United 22-25, Liverpool 14-17 and Tottenham 5-8.

Our Champions League 100-75-50-25-10 Index sees Bayern Munich at 55-58, Barcelona 51-54, Real Madrid 48-51, Chelsea and Man City at 29-32, Atletico Madrid 28-31, PSG 25-28, Man United 22-25 and Arsenal 20-23.

Will England build on victories over Australia and Argentina and repeat that outstanding result, or will the visitors gain revenge? Our Points Supremacy quote is New Zealand/England (h) 14-17.

Motor Racing
There is no racing this week, but what better time to look at the long term market in the absence of any action? 

Two more victories would see him up to a massive 397 total, however, our traders are quoting him at 383-387 on the Driver’s Season Points market. We also have Lewis Hamilton at 194-197 (175 so far) and Mark Webber 191-194(166 so far).

Looking at the longer term markets two more victories would see Vettel up to a massive 397 total, however, our traders are quoting him at 383-387 on the Driver’s Season Points market. We also have Lewis Hamilton at 194-197 (175 so far) and Mark Webber 191-194(166 so far).
