UEFA World Cup Qualifying Matches to Bet On This Week

Sweden -1 ½ (+140) vs Georgia +1 ½ (-188)

When: Thursday, Nov. 11

On Oct. 12, Georgia beat Kosovo 2-1. Before the victory, Georgia hadn’t won a match in their previous 4. But on March 25, Sweden beat Georgia by a single goal, 1-0.

Does that mean Georgia covers? Not really. The Swedes are on a roll, having won 4-of-5. Sweden has outscored their last couple of opponents, Kosovo and Greece, a combined 5-0. The Swedes cover the handicap.

FIFA World Cup Qualifying Pick: Sweden

Portugal -1 ½ (+101) vs Ireland +1 ½ (-133)

When: Thursday, Nov. 11

There’s a reason Ireland is at -133 and getting a goal and a half. The Irish have played great in their last couple. But although Ireland should play tough on Thursday, they face one of the better teams in UEFA qualifying.

Portugal has dominated their last three opponents, Azerbaijan, Portugal, and Luxembourg, a combined 11 goals to 0. Ronaldo and his mates can cover this handicap.

FIFA World Cup Qualifying Pick: Portugal

Israel +340 vs Austria -136

When: Friday, Nov. 12

Israel is a good team, but this happens on Austria’s pitch. Also, the Austrians must make up a game after dropping their last by a goal to Denmark. Austria continues to send European League talent to the pitch. The odds are fair, making the home team the play.

FIFA World Cup Qualifying Pick: Austria

Switzerland +440 vs Italy -166

When: Friday, Nov. 12

Switzerland is on fire. The Swiss have won 2 straight and 3-of-5 with a couple of draws. Ah, but Italy heads into this after having beaten Belgium for third-place in the Nations League. Before beating Belgium, Italy had lost 1-2 to Spain.

The 2020 EURO Champions have no excuse. This happens on their pitch. Expect the Azzuri to win no problem.

FIFA World Cup Qualifying Pick: Italy

Kazakhstan +2 ½ (+127) vs France -2 ½ (-169)

When: Saturday, Nov. 13

France has won 3 straight, including beating Spain 2-1 in the Nations League Final. The 2022 World Cup favorites have finally hit their stride. Kazakhstan has lost 3-of-5 with the other 2 games ending in draws.

But although the French should roll, the odds don’t make them an overlay. The odds on Mbappe and his mates are fair, though.

Finland beat Khazakhstan 2-0 on Oct. 12. On Oct. 9, Bosnia and Herzegovina beat the dogs 2-0. France should win by at least 3.

FIFA World Cup Qualifying Pick: France

Russia +380 vs Croatia -163

When: Sunday, Nov. 14

One of this week’s top FIFA World Cup Qualifying UEFA matches happens on Sunday when Croatia battles Russia. The Russians are big underdogs, but this is sort of a rivalry match.

Not only that, the Russians have rolled to 4 straight victories. All 4 wins were in UEFA WC qualifiers.

Croatia has won 3-of-5. The Croatians drew 2-2 in their last against Slovakia. Croatia must start to pick it up if they hope to make the World Cup. Russia is worth backing because the odds make Croatia an underlay.
