Scotland v Malta (19:45)
As I covered in my preview of England v Malta, the Maltese do generally keep the score down, despite the relative difference in class.
Their resilience finally wilted against England late on however and there’s a chance that tiredness won’t be out of the legs come this evening, which would be a problem as Scotland will be high spirits following on from a morale boosting victory in Lithuania. Scotland scored five in Malta and thats 19 goals shipped in 7 games now.
This should only be a question of scoreline for the Scots but the best value looks to be on the goalscorer markets.
Leigh Griffiths is the main man up front and he has scored a brace twice already this season (for Celtic) in the five times he’s played 60 mins or more.
Naturally, playing in the SPL he’s a flat-track bully and this evening’s fixture could suit him perfectly, he’s also the designated free-kick and penalty taker.
Generally he’s about 2/1 to score 2 or more, but he’s as short as 6/5 and Lads have him in at 7/5. So the 3/1 on offer with Bet365 and Betfred looks value worth taking.
Also as first goalscorer he’s 10/3 with Bet365 (4.33) when just 2/1 (3.0) generally elsewhere. And can be backed at 7/2 with Hills as one of their match specials.
£5 Griffiths First goalscorer @ 7/2 WillHill or 4.33 Bet365
£5 Griffiths to score 2 or more @ 3/1 Betfred or Bet365
