You Bet Champagne Charlie Will Set Nations Cup Alight

The Carling Nations Cup starts tonight and William Hill make the Republic of Ireland their 11/10 favourites to win the tournament. Scotland are the 5/2 second favourites. Scotland are playing Northern Ireland on Wednesday evening and William Hill make Scotland the 6/5 favourites to beat Northern Ireland who are 15/8. The last time the two sides played, the pair played out a nil-nil draw, which is 6/1 to happen this time around, while Allan McGregor saved a David Healy penalty.

Scotland Red Hot Favourites Against Liechtenstein

Scotland are the 1/14 favourites at William Hill to win against Liechtenstein who are priced at 16/1 to win. The last player to score a hat-trick for Scotland was Colin Stein in 1970. Any Scottish player to break that duck is priced at 8/1. Liechtenstein’s top scorer is Mario Frick, who plays for St Gallen, and he is priced at 12/1 to score at any time during the game.

Scotland are 5/1 to qualify for the 2012 European Championships but with Spain and the Czech Republic also in their group they face an uphill task. Spain are 1/9 to win the group and the Czechs are 11/2 to win. Scotland are 12/1 third favourites.

“The odds suggest that Scotland should stroll to victory and the hosts will be keen to give their goal difference a boost at Liechtenstein’s expense,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.
