Live on Skysports 1: Fri 19.30: Northern Ireland may be underdogs but could grab a draw (3/1, Totesport) behind closed doors in Serbia.
On Friday evening, Northern Ireland make the in Serbia. tricky trip to Serbia and bookies think Nigel Worthington’s men face an uphill struggle in Belgrade. Coral quote the hosts at 8/15 to collect a maximum haul while Northern Ireland are quoted by Skybet at 7/1 to give their qualification hopes a shot in the arm by returning with all three points.
However, Worthington’s charges have made a solid start to the campaign, winning in Slovenia and grabbing a draw with Italy before earning a less impressive point away to the Faroes, so perhaps they shouldn’t be written off so readily here.
Furthermore, as a result of the trouble that marred Serbia’s game in Italy, this contest will be played behind closed doors, so some of the hosts’ home advantage – a vociferous support – doesn’t apply. Subsequently, Northern Ireland could nick a point in this one, a result rated by Totesport at 3/1.
The bold meanwhile, can take that bet a bit further by tackling Stan James’ 9/1 for it to finish goalless; Worthington’s troops will look to keep it tight and a low-scoring stalemate would undoubtedly suit.
