Our tip suggestions
Finland – Romania >>> Tie
For this match played at Helsinki we will bet on a little more risky tip, mainly a tie. Both head coaches have clearly declared that they want to obtain at least a point from this confrontation and that a tie would be pretty good for their team. Romania might score five points, after which will come two matches with the most accessible opponents: Northern Ireland and Faroe Islands. On the other hand, Finland comes after a tie against Greece and a new tie against Romania would be a good outcome. The head coach, Paatelainen declared that this group will have many ties and many surprises so any point won is definitely pleasing. The Romanian national is superior from the value’s point of view, but the Finnish have the advantage of the own pitch, a detail that can count considering that the Romanians have only 72 hours to reach Finland and to accommodate to the conditions there. Piturca will not count on Goian and Bogdan Mitrea, the quarterback from Viitorul, was called at the last moment. The Romanian defensive needs to be careful at players such as Pukki, Pohjanpalo and Hämäläinen, that last week scored together a total of seven goals for their club teams.

Germany – Ireland >>> Under 3.5 goals
The world champion brought many surprises on Saturday, when she was defeated by Poland with 0-2. The team prepared by Joachim Low needs to quickly improve her game in order to win all the three points against Ireland, a team that comes after an easy match against the small national from Gibraltar, score of 7-0. The German head coach declared in a press conference that there still aren’t reasons for concern and it was inevitable for this team to lose sooner or later to a match from the qualifying stages, after 33 consecutive matches without any defeats (in the preliminaries). Probably Ireland will choose a defensive tactic, just as she did against Poland, so we can not expect a match with many goals. We do not believe that the Germans can now easily win, especially considering the fact that the Irish are passing through a good shape, so we bet on a tip with a maximum of three goals.
Odds: 1.75
Chances: 9/10

Poland – Scotland >>> Victory Poland
The Polish come after a resounding success against the world champion and they want to gain three more points from the match against Scotland on their own pitch. Although there are many matches to play, an eventual success will bring the team closer to the European Championship, a competition in which they took place in 2012 as hosts, but also in 2008. Scotland has also won on Saturday in Georgia with 1-0 due to a self goal. The two teams have met in a friendly match in March 2014, when Scotland won with 1-0, but this time we believe the Polish would win. They are in a better shape and have the advantage of their own potch.

Serbia – Albania >>> Under 2.5 goals
Serbia managed a tie against Armenia due to a goal scored in the 90th minute. The match against Albania on the Stadion Partizana from Belgrad is a good opportunity to obtain the first success of this qualifying campaign, but the opponent can be an unpredictable one, under the conditions in which Albania surpassed the sock of the first stage: 1-0 in Portugal and three days ago she managed a good outcome against Denmark of 1-1. The Albanians are experts of the few goals matches, a single match from the last eight having more than two goals (this was a 3-0 against San Marino). And if we go deeper in the statistics, the situation remains the same, three in the last 16 matches were “over 2.5″. Serbia comes after four matches of “under 2.5″. Besides this encouraging statistic for a match with few goals, we can easily say that the Serbs do not have at this point enough force to win this night’s match. A balanced match with many goals seems less likely under the conditions in which the team that opens the score will continue to practice a more defensive game and will not force scoring the second goal, a thing that usually happens in the case of these two opponents.
Odds: 160
Chances: 8/10
