Morocco are one of the best teams in Africa, and even the adjustment of this being a friendly should still have more than two goals to score against minnows Bahrain. The African side are unbeaten in their last five matches, winning four of them with two going over 2.5 goals. Three of Bahrain's last five games have gone over, including defeats to lowly Istra 1961 and Primorje. With this being a friendly, it will depend on how Morocco take the game, but if they can be professional, then this should be an easy over. Take the over that the hosts have too much class for the opposition.

Visitors Bosnia-Herzegovina won this reverse fixture 2-1 in March and will want to hit the ground running in Cyprus tonight, with group rivals Austria facing minnows San Marino, where three points look certain. Cyprus have not won any of their last five matches, losing three of them, including the match against tonight's opposition. Prior to losing to Austria, Bosnia-Herzegovina put six past San Marino away from home, and a similar scoreline wouldn't be a surprise.

Croatia, who sit on top of the group due to a largely superior goal difference, have only conceded one goal all campaign, to tonight's rivals Czechia when hammering them 5-1. Tonight's match will more than likely seal automatic qualification for next year's tournament. The hosts were held to a 1-1 draw with Saudi Arabia recently and will have their work cut out keeping Croatia from winning this. A lively affair should be expected given that both sides have performed well in qualification to date, but the visitors are valued to sneak victory.

Croatia have scored 17 goals in their last four matches, including 5 against tonight's opposition in the reverse, and will expect to have their shooting boots on again tonight. This is a one-game shootout for automatic qualification for next year's World Cup. The hosts have scored 10 goals themselves in that same time frame, so this should be a lively encounter with possibly both teams finding the back of the net. Take the over that this follows suit to the reverse fixture.

England only beat lowly Andorra 1-0 and 2-0 in both their qualification campaign. They did look impressive against a defensively set up Serbia, but against Senegal recently, they looked all at sea. Tuchel has rested some expected to be on the flight across the Atlantic next summer. Craig Bellamy's Wales will be right up for this from the first whistle, and they are too big a price given the experimental nature of the England squad.

England only beat lowly Andorra 1-0 and 2-0 in both their qualification campaigns. They did look impressive against a defensively set up Serbia, but against Senegal recently, they looked all at sea. Tuchel has rested some expected to be on the flight across the Atlantic next summer. Craig Bellamy's Wales will be right up for this from the first whistle, and three of their last five matches have gone under, including a friendly against Canada last time. England could be hindered by an inexperienced, experimental lineup for next summer, so take the chance that this is a low-scoring affair with possibly Wales doing most of the defending.

A crucial tie in the group for qualification for next year's World Cup. The hosts have shown that they are battle-ready with their opening goalless draw against Denmark and are unbeaten in their last three since they lost their last competitive match against Greece in the Nations League in March. Greece were brought back down to earth after hammering Belarus 5-1 by getting soundly beaten by the Danes 3-0. This will be a tight and tense affair given what is at stake, and a draw might be the way to go given that the hosts are normally potent in front of goal and Greece are decent defensively. Goals should be at a premium tonight.

Greece were brought back down to earth after hammering Belarus 5-1 by getting soundly beaten by the Danes 3-0. This will be a tight and tense affair given what is at stake tonight, and goals should be at a premium. Both of Scotland's group games have gone under 2.5 goals. All of Greece's games have gone over, but under Steve Clarke, Scotland have become hard to break down. Take the under that defenses come out on top.

The only time these sides met ended in a goalless draw and a point each could again be the outcome. Neither side is in great form and this could be a tight tense affair, given what's at stake. Take the middle ground.

Cameroon put three past today's hosts in the qualification stages for the 2024 World Cup, and today's game could go the same way. Backing the away win is not really worth it at such short odds, but this could be a way to back Cameroon, who should have too much for their much less experienced opposition.

Graduated is ultra consistent of late, having finished 3rd in their last five runs. Has got in lightly and is in receipt of weight all round, which could lead to them winning for the 2nd time in their career. Was once rated 73 and is now 10lbs better off and is unchanged from their last run when 3rd at Wolverhampton just over two weeks ago. Hasn’t been starting well, and if breaking on terms, a better display could well be on the cards.

Polka Blue has improved on each run to date, including last time out when finished 4th of 10 at Kempton just under two weeks ago. The step-up in trip to 7f should be well within their reach and could squeeze out further improvement to break their maiden tag at the 3rd attempt. Is well in the mix in an open restricted novice event.

Watercraft showed their inexperience when finishing 8th of 11 at Leicester four weeks ago on their racecourse debut and was only beaten six lengths by the winner, so it wasn't as bad as the result suggests. It was well fancied that day, being 7/2 2nd favourite, so obviously was showing something at home. With that experience behind them, improvement is likely, and in a race full of unknowns, it is well worth chancing at decent each-way odds in an open maiden.

Masonbrook Meadow ran no kind of race in an amateur race at Bath when slowly away just over three weeks ago. Now, with the more experienced Josephine Gordon in the saddle, a better display is expected. Has been busy over hurdles recently since their penultimate start over a year ago when finished 2nd. The softening ground shouldn’t hold any fears, and stamina could be the key. Chance at a big price.

Fai Fai was once rated in the 70s and is now off an unchanged official rating of 51 from last time out. Including that run when headed on the line just over three weeks ago, they have been placed over today’s course and distance four times. Consistent at this level, and a repeat performance should put them bang in the mix for a deserved success. NAP
