Wednesday Football Bet of the Day see’s me focus on the big European World Cup qualifier and I’ve picked out a bet builder which gets the hosts onside.
Scotland 🏴 vs Ukraine 🇺🇦
🇪🇺 European World Cup Qualifier
⏰ Wednesday 1st June, 19:45
Scotland and Ukraine will battle it out for a place in the playoff final at Hampden on Wednesday night, with the winners of this tie playing Wales at Cardiff on Sunday for a place at this year’s World Cup in Qatar.
Scotland finished second to runaway group leaders Denmark in World Cup qualification, collecting 23 points from their 20 group matches. Steve Clarke’s men were strong at home in qualification, winning four and drawing one of their five matches at Hampden, including an impressive 2-0 win over the Danes in their last home match. The Scots only failed to score away to Denmark in qualifying, scoring 17 goals in their other nine group matches, with 12 of them coming at home. Scotland hit an impressive 34 corners over their five qualifiers at Hampden, only failing to hit five or more against the Faroe’s, in a match that they comfortably won 4-0.
Ukraine finished second to world champions France in World Cup qualification and just one point ahead of Finland. Oleksandr Petrakov’s side managed to go through qualifying unbeaten, winning two and drawing six of their group matches. Despite staying unbeaten, Ukraine conceded in seven of their eight qualifiers, including in both matches against Kazakhstan. Ukraine lost the corner count in three of their four qualifiers away from home, conceding 12 when away to France.
Bet of the Day
In what will be an emotional and atmospheric crowd at Hampden this evening, Scotland will battle out with Ukraine for a place in the playoff final with Wales at Cardiff on Sunday. Scotland scored in 9/10 of their qualifiers, finding the back of the net 12 times at home and I’m backing them to net against a Ukraine side that recorded just one clean sheet in their eight qualifiers. Steve Clarke’s side hit an impressive 34 corners in their five qualifiers at home and given Ukraine lost the corner count in three of their four away group matches away from home, I’m happy to add in Scotland to hit five corners alongside them finding the back of the net in what looks like a solid looking bet builder.
