News about Robben has changed a bit from "definitely not" to "probably not" playing.
Also Van Persie was mentioned yesterday as not available after missing training but is now also doubtfull.

Robben is trying to shake off a injury/knock he picked up against Schalke, van Persie is struggling with some virus.

With those 2 i would already go for france, without them i have no hesitations.

Will wait of line ups and if they start i ll keep my betting for the moment they go off.

Russia Women vs North Korea Women tomorrow

First game in the Algarve Cup, which from what I've read, is a pretty important competition in women's football, almost as important as the men's World Cup.

Fifa women's world rankings: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_Women%27s_World_Rankings

North Korea are pretty strong (10th), while Russia are 21st. If you check Russia's previous results, they've always bounced back after getting thrashed, which happened last month against the best team in the world (8-0 vs the USA) http://int.women.soccerway.com/teams/russia/russia/4124/

North Korea are a pretty underish team that prolly play the same kind of football as the men's team, ie robotic defensive football - http://int.women.soccerway.com/teams/korea-dpr/korea-dpr/5974/
btw if you're wondering why North Korean women are so good at football : http://espn.go.com/sports/soccer/news/_/id/6775108/2011-women-world-cup-five-north-koreans-positive-steroids

also, according to this guy, Russia "prefer to sit deep and punish opponents with quick counterattacks." http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/jul/10/womens-euro-2013-group-c-england

Under 2.5 @ 2.00
Under 3.5 @ 1.36

Andorra Moldova BTTS NO @2.00

Andorra have scored in 2 previous meetings with Moldova but that was in Moldova. Moldova should win but Andorra would see a 0-0 as a great result and even though Moldova are only slightly less ****e, I still see Andorra keeping it tight so not guaranteed Moldova will score either.

Good value here I think

Glentoran v Ballymena
Ballymena 12/5

if you want to play safe DNB 11/8, straight win price is too good for me to turn down.

Glentoran will be without a number of key players and have injury worries over others as they bid to improve their disappointing home league record.

John McGuigan will not be available for the game with Ballymena United at the Oval after being arrested in connection with drugs offences earlier this week.

Johnny Addis, Steven Gordon and William Garrett are all suspended while Marcus Kane is injured.

Jason Hill, Calum Birney and Jay Magee are rated doubtful for Friday's clash.

Glens manager Eddie Patterson said the club would "take John (McGuigan) out of the firing line" by not including him for the floodlit Premiership game with the Sky Blues.

Plus Glentoran face Glenavon in a rearranged Irish Cup quarter-final on Monday night.
