After a very successful preview last Thursday on the WC Qualifier, we’ll try to do the same here. It’s never easy to avoid variance in this business but as always, we’ll do our best. The first match that deserves our attention is the one between the Netherlands and France, two huge teams.
The Netherlands are trying to return to a big competition after failing to qualify for the Euro 2016. The Clockwork Orange is going through a tough moment with many chances. Even though talent does exist on their squad, it hasn’t been easy to build a good team. The main reason for the lack of success is their weak defence.
On the other side, France, the 2016 Euro Cup finalist, is probably the strongest team in Europe. France counts on Antoine Griezmann up in the front and an amazing midfield that makes their opponents tremble. Although this game is on the road, the bookmakers priced France as the main favourite.

Sweden vs Bulgaria also promises to be a very interesting game. Both teams know that their chances to qualify are small in a group where France and Netherlands are the main favourites.
The bookmakers are committing an error here. Without Zlatan Ibrahimović, Sweden shouldn’t be such a favourite for this game.
VIP-bet.com Free Pick: At this price, the value is all on the visitor’s side. That said, Bulgaria Asian Handicap +1.00 looks a very safe line to take @1.87 on Betfair
The European Champions, Portugal, also play this Monday against the Faroe Islands. A victory from Portugal is the expected result here but the question is, by what margin? For this game, Portugal can’t count on some injured players such as Adrian and Nani. However, their talent is undeniable and the difference between the two teams is enormous. Therefore, we expect a comfortable win on this game.
VIP-Bet.com Free Pick: Portugal’s -2.5 Asian Handicap close to evens is the line to take on this game.
To end our betting analysis on this World Cup Qualifier, we’ll pull the trigger on a game that takes place this Tuesday.
Poland hosts Armenia in a game where the difference is huge. On the home side, we find a world class striker, Robert Lewandowski. Besides Lewandowski, Poland has other very promising players, with Arkadiusz Milik as the best example.
This group is a great opportunity for Poland to secure a place in the 2018 Russia World Cup final stage.
VIP-bet.com Free Pick: Poland’s Asian Handicap -1.25 close to evens the line to take here.
