Wales take on Scotland at the Cardiff City Stadium tonight (7.45pm KO), Live on Sky Sports 1) in game dubbed “the Battle of Britain and the vistors look worth a wager at 13/8 to come out on top.
Wales made some real progress under the late Gary Speed but the since Chris Coleman took over they lost five out of five.
They have also managed to score just one goal in those games and that came during last month’s 6-1 drubbing in Serbia.
Scotland haven’t fared much better and have managed just three wins under Craig Levein, Two of them came against lowly Lichtenstein.
However they do have a couple of key players back in the squad in the shape of Steven and Darren Fletcher and their presence is enough to suggest that Scotland are value at 13/8 with Betfred and Stan James.
The former’s form for Sunderland so far this season has been outstanding while the latter’s experience adds real strength and stability to the team in midfield.
bet365 fo 13/2 about Steven Fletcher bagging the opener, and that looks a decent price judged on his exploits in the Premier League.
In the correct score market I am going to take Scotland to win 2-1 at the 10/1 available with BetVictor and Ladbrokes.
