Football Bet of the Day: Irish can put the win into Windsor Park

Northern Ireland v Croatia
Tuesday 19:45

Poland 1 Slovenia 1 in Wroclaw last night.

The lack of clean sheets got us dirty too but, we've cleaned ourselves up, and there's another international friendly catching our eye today.

They start as outsiders, but we like Northern Ireland's chances of upsetting Croatia at Windsor Park.

Michael O'Neill's men have won six in a row on home turf, keeping a clean sheet in each of the most recent five. In the last three alone, the combined margin of victory is 11-0.

Croatia briefly looked like contenders at Euro 2016 in the summer, but have been hit by injuries since then. Just among the exciting creatives in midfield, Kovacic, Rakitic and Modric are all missing for this one.

Outside Croatia, they've won just 4/12 friendlies since mid-2010. There are a lot of draws in that record (seven, in fact) so we want that outcome covered tonight. Northern Ireland +0 & +0.5 on the Asian Handicap, which pays out in full if the hosts win and on half of your stake if they draw, looks about right.
