DRAW OF THE WEEK
EURO – ROMANIA v SWITZERLAND
ODDS – DRAW $TBA
FORM / STATS – The last two games between these sides have ended 2-2 and 1-1. Then these sides are currently equal top of their Euro qualifying group with a W4 D4 L0 record, and a draw might just suit both countries. And us.
EURO – SCOTLAND v NORWAY
ODDS – DRAW $3.20
FORM / STATS – Three draws from eight games in a decent strike rate to get a little excited for a draw, but then there’s the home record for Scotland in this fixture. The last game played in Scotland ended 0-0 and there’s a 1-1 two games before that. A 0-1 loss in between means Scotland are yet to beat Norway in Scotland, which screams draw.
EURO – NORTHERN IRELAND v DENMARK
ODDS – DRAW $TBA
FORM / STATS – Three draws from the five games played between these sides is a good start, and the two subsequent games only has a goal in it. With Denmark second in their Euro pool and almost safe for progressing a draw might be enough for them. And plenty for us. And you.
Algeria – Ligue Professionnelle 1 – ES Ben Aknoun v Paradoe
ODDS – DRAW $2.90
FORM / STATS – Never thought of following Algerian football before? You should. Both of these sides have only played two games home (Ben Aknoun) or away (Paradoe) this season so far, and both sides have drawn one of those games. So early days but looking at a 50% draw strike rate. Just the way we like it.
Croatian Second Division – Cibalia Vinkovci v Vukovar
ODDS – DRAW $3.10
FORM / STATS – The last game between these sides may have seen a 3-1 win to Vukovar, but prior to that it was two draws in a row. And more improtantly, the last game at Cibalia Vinkovci ended 2-2.
Slovakian League – Malzenice v MSK Povazska Bystrica
ODDS – DRAW $3.30
FORM / STATS – Malzenice are unbeaten in their last 5 games at home which includes two draws before the most recent three wins. So they must have been going badly if they are still only the 11th best team at home this season. Their goals record of 11 for and 10 against in nine games screams a team ready to draw. The away team MSK Povazska Bystrica have drawn two of their last five away games.
UK Isthmian Premier Division – Haringey Borough v Kingstonian
ODDS – DRAW $3.40
FORM / STATS – Relegation six pointer anyone? A battle between 20th and 21st, so despite it being early days in the season it will still be tense. Tense means draw. Haringey Borough have drawn four games from 15 this season, but three of those have been in their last four matches including their last home game. Kingstonian are yet to away with a single draw their best result from six away games.
