Football fans all over the world dey get withdrawal symptoms on World Cup first rest day, but international football still dey to keep punters occupied. We don reach semi-final stage for Under-19 European Championships, and Spain be heavy favourites to swat aside Croatia dis afternoon.
Spaniards win every game for group stage, scoring 14 goals and conceding none, so e hard for Croatia to spring any shock for Wales. Croatia book dia place for last four for style, crushing bitter rivals Serbia 3-0 for dia final Group B fixture. But dia form be patchy before that, losing to Ukraine and drawing 0-0 with Italy, so e easy to see why Bet365 make dem outsiders today, although 7/1 dey seem too big.
With red-hot favourites yet to concede so far across three games, Spanish win to nil also stand chance at 11/10 with same firm. Ukraine don be surprise package of Under-19s European Championships, although dem get bit of pedigree at dis level, having win tournament for 2009. With ongoing conflict for dia homeland, dia performances don be particularly impressive, with wins over Croatia, Serbia and Italy seeing dem top Group A.
Germany represent major hurdle for last four, however, and Bet365 make Ukrainians 13/5 outsiders. Germans dem battered 4-0 by Spain for dia final group game, but manager Christian Worns ring changes for dat match with semi-final spot already assured. Dem don score four times for each of dia first two group games, so dem suppose get job done with dia big guns restored to starting line up.
Dere be more Champions League qualifiers tonight, and Kairat go dey look to repeat last season charge towards lucrative league phase. Kazakh side shock Celtic for play-offs year ago and go dey confident to go all way again. First up be clash with Sutjeska of Montenegro, and Kairat suppose be too strong for dem on home soil for first leg. Sutjeska lose 7-3 on aggregate to Beitar Jerusalem for last season Conference League qualifiers, so e easy to see why dem be 7/1 outsiders tonight.
Bet365 dey offer plenty odds for all dis matches. Kairat strike on dia own also dey appeal at 6/4. Rizzel strike gold with Tuesday winner and get pick for Kempton today as e bid to follow am up.
