                              1             X            2                                          Gamebookers

                           4.00    3.10    1.90   

                        Bahrain is not the team we used to see on the big competitions. Their quality of football skill, although there

                        are no weak opponents and bad, still is not on enviably level. Occasionally, sometimes they made surprise

                        but mostly all is finished on it. The team is a real unknown to the public. They had a series of results when

                        they suffered only one defeat in 11 games. Currently they don't  provide a good parties and in the last four

                        games are recorded only one draw.

                        The results of the last five games at home: won Iran 1:0 (International Friendly), Japan 1:0 (WC, Qualifying

                        Asia Part 2), with Thailand played 1:1 (WC, Qualifying Asia Part 2), Oman 1:1 (WC , Qualifying Asia Part 2)

                        and lost from Japan with 2:3 (WC, Qualifying Asia Part 3).

                        Australia has a really great team, which is composed of experienced players. We used to look them at big

                        competitions. They played very bad on the Olympic Games and didn't go through group stage. Regardless

                        of the games that they showed on that competition, they have a much better and experienced team then

                        the host.

                        The results of the last five away games: with Serbia played 1:1 (Olympic Games - Gr. Stage), lost from

                        Argentina 0:1 (Olympic Games - Gr. Stage), Ivory Coast 0:1 (Olympic Games - Gr. Stage), won

                        Netherlands with 2: 1 (International Friendly) and Uzbekistan with 1:0 (WC, Qualifying Asia Part 3).

                        Host still don't has a quality and skill to resisted to much stronger and better team than himself. Although

                        they knew to make some surprise they will difficult succeed on this game. Australia has a much better team

                        and comes with the intention to win the three points which can bring further placement.    

                        My bet: 2                                                                                                                               Result: (0-0) 0-1

17:30h (CET)   Montenegro v FYR Macedonia         

                           Under2.5    /    Over2.5                      Gamebookers

                                 1.75     /     1.95

                        Montenegro is a very young football team on the international scene. The team has its two stars of the

                        game and from who depend the result at the end of the game. These are Mirko Vucinic who plays for

                        Roma and Stevan Jovetic who plays for Fiorentina. With them in the team attack is a threat to any

                        opponent. In this game they will be weakened in the defense, because in this game will not play Drincic,

                        Pekovic, Batak and Tanasijevic. Without them, the defense will have a big problem because, these are

                        players who have played great and had the main task to stop the opponent's attacker. The question is

                        how will the new players fit in to the team.

                        The results of the last five games at home: lost from Sweden 1:2 (International Friendly), won Norway

                        3:1 (IF), Kazakhstan 3:0 (IF), with Bulgaria played 2:2 (WC, Qualifying Europe) and with Ireland 0:0

                        (WC , Qualifying Europe).

                        Macedonia has started the qualifying with victory at home over Scotland but then suffered two

                        consecutive defeats. They will try  in this game to demonstrate that they have the quality and that on

                        the team, which plays together the last two years, can count that will represent the hard opponent to

                        many teams. At this game will not play two attackers who, according to their excellent form, deserve

                        their place in the team, and they are Filip Ivanovski and Ivan Trickovski.

                        The results of the last five games away: lost from Israel 0:1 (EC - Preliminary round), played with

                        Bosnia and Herzegovina 2:2 (International Friendly), Poland 1:1 (IF), won Luxembourg 4:1 (IF) and lost

                        from Iceland with 0:1 ( WC, Qualifying Europe).

                        Although this is a friendly game, both teams will try to show its best. Host have a small advantage but,

                        the absence of their best players from defense is a huge problem. Guests will also be weakened by non

                        attendance the best defensive players and attackers can expect to easily achieve their goal.

                        My bet: over2.5                                                                                                              Result: (2-0) 2-1

17:30h (CET)   Serbia v Bulgaria         

                              1            X           2                                          Gamebookers

                           1.90    3.30      4.00         

                        Serbia, with new coach, showed a new face that we long wont to see. Radomir Antic has finished an

                        excellent job in the team for a short time and things look much better than last year. Antic is a great

                        tactician and create a team spirit, something that is missing in this team in the last few years. Even

                        and players who are not standard players in their clubs plays very well and they are future light for

                        Serbia. This is a country which has always had talented players and now have a great coach, and their

                        solutions is great success. At the game will not be able to play Stojkovic, Dragutinovic, Krstajic, Zigic,

                        Pantelic and Jankovic, but, instead them will play Djuric, Kolarov and Mrdja. However, the team that

                        will play in this game is quite strong, with players such as Krasic, Vidic, Ivanovic and Jovanovic.

                        Zdravko Kuzmanovic from Fiorentina was forced to withdraw from the team because of injury and his

                        deputy is Ivan Ergic.

                        Serbia played away bigger part of their games so that this year played only two games at home and

                        beat in WC, Qualifying Europe, Faroe Islands with 2:0 and Lithuania with 3:0.

                        Bulgaria has started a bad qualifying for the world championship, they played draw all three games so

                        far. They are located in difficult situation and must begin to win as soon as possible. This game will be

                        an opportunity for the selectors Plamen Markov to test some new players . Yordan Minev, Costa Yanev

                        and Ivan Stoyanov will have the opportunity to play for the first time for the team. Dimitar Ivankov and

                        one of the most talented Bulgarian players, Ivelin Popov are not invited in the team. The attacker from

                        Manchester Utd, Dimitar Berbatov and player from Aston Villa, Stillian Petrov are two most popular

                        players in the team, while Martin Petrov will miss the game because of injury. Markov will not perform the

                        strongest team and on the field will be much weaker than their opponent.

                        Serbia recently plays quite well and although Antic will make some changes, start team will be strong

                        enough to get this match. Guests have failed to win any of the first three games and weakened team

                        will not be able to avoid defeat on the "Maracana" stadium in Belgrade.

                        My bet: 1                                                                                                                      Result: (4-1) 6-1
