The Best European Football Teams Play World Cup Qualifiers on Sunday
Published March 28, 2021 by Florin P
Germany and England are expected to pick up easy points on the road when the World Cup qualifiers for Europe continue on Sunday evening.
Sunday brings the final round of World Cup qualifiers, with former champions playing on the road. More than a dozen games are scheduled for the last day of the weekend, with clear favorites and close games. No fans will be cheering from the stands, so home pitch advantage will matter less for the teams involved. There’s a high likelihood for draws as the underdogs are expected to defend frantically. England has a few doubtful players ahead of this fixture, but the team has plenty of depth to weather the storm.
England and Albania Play the First World Cup Qualifiers
England will play the first match of the group stage on the road against Albania. The visitors have an obvious advantage in the head to head matches and also the better team. Under these circumstances, everything points towards an easy victory on the road, possibly by more than one goal. bet365 Sports offers odds of 3/10 on the visitors to prevail and massive 10/1 value on the home side to win.
Iceland Tries to End Losing Streak against Armenia
Iceland is mired in a five-game losing streak and must turn the ship around quickly. Armenia looks like the best opponents to defeat on the road, in spite of their recent struggles. bet365 Sports expects a highly contested match with the visitors as narrow favorites, as reflected by the even odds. Armenia plays defensive football when taking on better teams and would happily settle for a draw. If they manage to cause a huge upset and pick up all three points, punters will enjoy odds of 33/10 if they bet on them.
Defensive Minded Finland Aims for the Draw in Ukraine
Finland and Ukraine are searching for their first victories this season after splitting points in the previous two games. There is also a high likelihood for drawing this match, where the two teams will start with a defensive line up. Ukraine plays at home, so the odds of 3/2 offered by 888 Sport are justified. The previous matches between the two teams were all close affairs and this is also likely to follow this pattern. The draw is priced at 5/2, while a rare victory on the road for Finland will produce odds of 5/1.
Germany Starts with the First Chance in Opening Match
Defeating Romania on the road doesn’t look like a particularly difficult challenge for Germany. The multiple European and world champions will field an offensive starting 11 and come out firing on all cylinders. Romanians usually play better in the early stages of the game, but have the tendency of crumbling under pressure. In this game, the Germans are justly given the first chance at odds of 2/5 by 888 Sport, with spectacular odds of 7/1 on Romania to prevail.
