World Cup Qualifiers: Faroes look too classy for their Saturday opponents

CHRIS Graham (@chrisgraham79) picks out his best bets from Saturday's qualifiers.

Andorra v Faroe Islands | Saturday 17:00 | Sky Interactive

  • Faroe Islands favourites in a competitive match for the first time since 2001
  • Look almost value at 8/13 as there is a decent gap between these sides
  • Faroes have been mixing it up with the best for most of this decade and have beaten Greece home and away and drawn with Northern Ireland in that period.
  • These standards have been maintained in this campaign with an away win at Latvia and a home draw against Hungary. It's form that Andorra simply can't match.
  • Andorra haven't won a competitive game for 13 years and only really have San Marino and Gibraltar as peers.
  • Results have improved in this group with narrow defeats against Switzerland and Lativa but the Faroes should find them out.
  • I'll back the Faroes to win to ni at 17/14.

Sweden v Belarus | Saturday 17:00 | Sky Sports 1

  • Awful group for Euro 2016 finalists Sweden as they come up against France and Holland.
  • Not the worst start for Janne Anderson's side though with seven points out of 12. They lost in France and drew with Holland at home. It makes a win here a must.
  • Sweden managed to score in France and knocked three past Bulgaria in Solna at the end of last year. They can breach Belarus on Saturday.
  • Despite a surprising 0-0 draw with France at the start of the campaign (French Euro hangover, anyone?), Belarus have been poor in this group.
  • They were well beaten by Holland and found no answer against a weak Bulgaria side. On top of that, they failed to beat Luxembourg at home.
  • It might not be the best Swedish side but I'll back them -1 on the Asian Handicap at a shade of odds on. If they win by exactly one goal, I get my money back.

 

Luxembourg v France | Saturday 19:45 | Sky Interactive

  • France, runners up in Euro 2016 and big contenders for Russia next year, are packed with quality all over the pitch.
  • They taken 10 point out of 12 in this group, a bizarre 0-0 draw in Belarus in September last year the only blemish.
  • Didier Deschamps' side have won in the Netherlands and beating Sweden at home. Qualification looks a cert.
  • Let's pay respect to Luxembourg though. Despite having just one point they've had a decent campaign.
  • A draw in Belarus is their only point, but they only lost in stoppage time in Bulgaria.
  • As well as this they lost by just one goal in Sweden and scored against Holland in a not too bad 3-1 loss.
  • Paddy Power make them 80/1 to win this game which feels wrong. I'l back them +3 on the Asians and to score a goal.
