Guest Mighty Shrimper Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 Anybody got any views on these games? I was thinking of adding a Portugal and Germany win to my accy. Any views welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footie Addict Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Re: Portugal v Tunisia & Bosnia v Germany I'd expect Germany to win BUT... Shrimper be v.careful though as I'm sure your aware these are friendlies, and second string teams are a potential bannana skin. Wales (granted there improving fast) beat Germany 1-0 in a friendly recently, while Portugal got tanked 4-1 by Finland (in Portugal too, I think!). Due to this, the two teams seem not to care hugely about friendlies - check starting teams before putting on any money, Bosnia are also a half decent side anyway and are decent value @ 6/1 at home IMO. I have a feeling Portugal did have a weakened side out in their last friendly. Good luck but wait for team news before backing and remember that Germany play on the Friday.

kompressaur Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Bosnia v Germany Anyone got any team news for a crazy man that fancies a Friday night bet on an International Friendly? Just out of interest like:o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Da Hannanah Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 All I know is... That it's a friendly, where both sides will happilly settle for the draw - which is 4,00 with Ladbrokes, btw. Last I heard, Ballack and a couple of other key players will not play. Voller won't risk their petty injuries with a "real" game coming up midweek. 0-0 is 10,00 with Gamebookers, and this is value too, imo...

Luso Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 Re: Portugal Yes we don't take friendlies very seriously and in the Finland game we were indeed missing a few players. The way it works is that when we play a decent side, like Spain or England, we play well (we got 1-1 draws away to both sides) but when we play lesser nations in friendlies the motivation is sadly lacking... But having said that I fully expect us to beat Tunisia. Boa Morte should play some part while the big names should feature. One thing different to last season is that our 2 key players are back to form. Before the World Cup, and during it, Figo & Rui Costa were well below par. But this season they both look back to their best. Rui Costa only set up 4 goals in the Riazor - 3 for Inzaghi as Milan won 4-0 vs Deportivo...Figo looks his old self too after injury problems last season.

Guest Tonyvdb Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 Portugal Luso, can you give a good reason why Portugal should win this one ? What do the starplayers and coach say in the papers ? (1,35 available at Interwetten, I'm planning to bet a big stake single on this one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luso Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 ... Really this is just going to be a chance for some more experimenting. Nuno Gomes is now injured and Romeu from Guimaraes has been called up at the last minute. He's a promising young forward who couldn't hack it at Porto but playing well for Guimaraes this season. For the players and coach is just a chance to get together again and a lot of the big name players are only expecting to play half the game to make way for new players. Persoanlly I wouldn't back us to win at those odds and I don't know too much about Tunisia but I hear they have some very good young players and they held France to a draw not long ago so I think there is little value in that 1.35 to be honest...
