WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS: We preview Saturday’s two games between SCOTLAND v ENGLAND and AZERBAIJAN v NORTHERN IRELAND with recommended BETDAQ bets.
SCOTLAND V ENGLAND
5pm There are plenty of high profile fixtures this weekend, however this one will probably have the most interest with two home nations clashing, and with Scotland having home advantage – it should be close! England are odds on favourites, with the match odds market trading; Scotland 6.4, England 1.74 and the draw is 3.65 at the time of writing.
England are easing their way through the Qualifiers, they sit top of the group without having conceded a single goal. However, Scotland are solid at home, and could prove tough to break down. While England are dominating games, they haven’t exactly been scoring goals for fun in Group F, and for this reason we like under 2.5 goals at 1.71 which we feel offers a lot more value than the England win at similar odds. Four of England’s last five away games have seen under 2.5 goals, and with Scotland solid at home and expected to really get behind the ball and defend, unders looks the value.
BETDAQ BEST BET:
Under 2.5 goals at 1.71.

AZERBAIJAN V NORTHERN IRELAND
5pm We have to say that before the reverse fixture between these sides, we fancied Azerbaijan to get a result in Northern Ireland. They had started the group well, and beaten Norway, however Northern Ireland brushed them aside and easily won 4-0. Looking at that game, it’s hard to see how Azerbaijan can turn things around and beat Northern Ireland here, even with home advantage. The match odds market at the time of writing currently stands at; Azerbaijan 3.85, Northern Ireland 2.38 and the draw is 3.05.
Northern Ireland have built their success on being solid at the back, and they’ve only conceded twice in World Cup Qualifying thus far – it’s not hard to see a very cagey game coming here, with Northern Ireland likely to defend early before trying to win the game on the counter late on. The problem with that is under 2.5 goals is only trading 1.45 on BETDAQ, and that doesn’t offer much value. We like the Northern Ireland win at 2.38 though, as they have looked the better side in recent World Cup Qualifying games, and can edge out Azerbaijan is a close affair.
BETDAQ BEST BET:
Northern Ireland to beat Azerbaijan at 2.38.
