Competition: Euro 2016 Qualifiers, Group B
Date: 13/10/2015 @ 7.45PM
CYPRUS
Obviously, my origins should have nothing to do with the choices that I end up with and the manner with which I write in terms of the Match of the Day, the picks within my betting slips and other general predictions and analyses that I thoroughly write on our website.
However, Cyprus’ game tonight against Bosnia, is indeed the most interesting clash of the day, followed perhaps by Holland’s minor hopes to surpass Turkey on the third position of the table. On the road already covered by N.Ireland, Iceland and Albania, if Cyprus beats Bosnia in Nicosia and Israel doesn’t beat Belgium away from home, then it will occupy the third position on the table and book its place for the play-offs of the Euro2016 competition.
Cyprus has only gotten 3 points from 4 home games in the group, after beating Andorra with 5-0 thus it considerably owes its current prospects to the fact that it has managed 3 wins in 5 away games, including a 1-2 win against its today opponent, in its first game for the group. Cyprus has managed a 1-2 away win against Israel in its last game, thus keeping the door wide open for the play-off stage and a sold-out is expected for tonight’s game.
It is worth mentioning that Cyprus has had 7 over 2.5 goals outcomes in 9 games.
Cyprus doesn’t have any absences from tonight’s game, its head coach Pambos Christodoulou is in the good position to present the best possible line-up.
BOSNIA
Bosnia has picked up only 4 points in 4 away games in the group, after beating Andorra with 0-3 and a 0-0 draw against Wales. Bosnia will qualify if it wins the game or if it ends up in a draw and Israel doesn’t beat Belgium away from home.
Bosnia has had 5 over 2.5 goals outcomes in its last 6 games and 3 over 2.5 goals outcomes in its last 3 away games. Dzeko hasn’t played against Wales and he is still quite doubtful about making it for tonight’s game.
Prediction
Considering the fact that both teams need to get the 3 points from this game and their over 2.5 goals statistics, I believe that the most viable option is;
Prediction: goal/goal & over 2.5 goals, odd: 2.50 @ BET365 WIN
For those of you who might want to go, more, risky;
Prediction: 1, odd: 4.60 @ BET365
