There are a number of international friendly football matches this week. | Live Scores
Live on BBC iPlayer: Friday 19:45. Scotland v Iceland. Scotland have a friendly clash with Iceland on Friday evening, with the bookies making them firm favourites to land a confidence-boosting victory. Ladbrokes chalk up 4/6 that Steve Clarke’s side get the job done at Hampden Park, with Bet365 offering 7/4 that it’s a victory without reply for the home side.
However, this is an experimental game and perhaps the visitors can produce a shock victory at 4/1 with Betfred. There could be plenty of chopping and changing from both teams, with the draw trading at 14/5 with Coral if you think the encounter might end all square.
Live on Amazon Prime Video: Friday 19:45. Republic of Ireland v Senegal. The Republic of Ireland have a difficult assignment on Friday night when they host Senegal. The visitors are one of the strongest African sides and they are 5/4 with Ladbrokes to leave the Aviva Stadium in Dublin with a victory. The home side have been in the doldrums over the past few years, although BoyleSports make them a 21/10 chance to get the job done here.
We can get 13/5 with bet365 that we see a draw between the two sides, although the best bet of all could be Senegal to win and both teams to find the net. This is trading at 4/1 with William Hill and we might see an entertaining clash.
Live on BBC iPlayer: Saturday 18:00. Denmark v Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland might find life difficult for Saturday evening’s friendly in Denmark. Ladbrokes are prepared to chalk up 8/1 about them landing a shock success against opponents who are accustomed to regularly qualifying for major tournaments. The Danes are likely to be a popular accumulator pick at odds of 3/10 with William Hill.
With this being a friendly, perhaps the Scandinavian side won’t be at full throttle. Therefore, the draw is a potential player at 4/1 with Betfred. However, the Northern Irish might struggle to fashion chances and a Denmark win to nil can be considered at 21/20 with Bet365.
