Get international friendly fever on Betfair!
International breaks regularly struggle to attract enthusiasm, especially when it's a week full of matches with nothing at stake, however there are several encounters available for Betfair customers to watch on Betfair Live Video this week that will tempt even the most friendly-phobic fans.
Perhaps the most intriguing of the lot is Wednesday's World Cup 1998 Final rematch between France and Brazil, which takes place at the same ground as Les Bleus' memorable 3-0 triumph, the Stade de France.
Both countries have changed coaches and made a significant effort to freshen up their squads with success following disappointing performances in South Africa but whereas Brazil lost to Argentina last time out, France enjoyed the most satisfying result of their four-game winning streak against England at Wembley.
Their gradual improvement under Laurent Blanc and an impressive record of five meetings without defeat against the five-time world champions over the last 19 years lead us to fancy the hosts at the generous price of [3.25].
There's also Betfair Live Video coverage on Tuesday and Wednesday of the Cyprus Tournament, which hands Cyprus, Sweden, Romania and Ukraine the chance to compete for some rare silverware.
Euro 2012 co-hosts Ukraine have been draw specialists during their intensive friendly schedule so consider the draw at [3.4] when they face Romania on Tuesday, while Sweden should prove too strong for the hosts in their match at [1.97].
There's plenty of friendly fun to indulge in on Wednesday, with an opportunity to check out one of the standout performers of Euro 2012 qualifying, Holland. Bert van Marwijk's side have had no trouble recovering from World Cup Final heartbreak and are [2.0] to lead Austria at half-time and full-time.
Two of the most surprising World Cup absentees, Croatia and Czech Republic, collide in Pula and as Slaven Bilic's team are unbeaten since their 5-1 thumping at Wembley in September 2009, their odds of [2.06] offer huge appeal.
