Thursday's International Football Tips: Back 21/10 France and a win for Sweden

Panama v Dominican Republic Tip - Home win to nil the pick

Panama v Dominican Republic
Thursday 4 June, 01:45 kick-off

Panama played alright in the Maracana on Sunday, losing 6-2 to Brazil but matching their illustrious hosts for around 50 minutes until the Samba Boys killed them off. That was just a second defeat in 11.

More of that should see them deliver as huge 2/111.18 favourites here against the Dominican Republic, who have drawn the last three in a row and lost five on the spin away from home - the last two coming without scoring a goal. This could be another.

South Korea v El Salvador Tip - Another clean sheet for Korea

South Korea are already in the United States as they face El Salvador in Utah on the back of a thumping 5-0 victory over Trinidad & Tobago. They'll hope to back that up as they finish off their prep ahead of an 11th straight World Cup finals.

El Salvador don't score too many and amazingly South Korea's last nine wins have all come with a clean sheet, so there's no reasons not to back a similar result here.

Northern Ireland v Guinea Tip - Back a stalemate in Spain

Northern Ireland are in Spain to take on Guinea with neither side having a World Cup appearance to look forward to this summer. The Irish are 1/12.00 favourites after a friendly draw with Wales and a play-off defeat to Italy in their last two outings.

Guinea have won just one of four friendlies with two draws and a defeat, but at their best there's not much between them and Michael O'Neill's side, so desire in this summer friendly could be the difference. Ultimately though it looks like more of a run-out for both sides.

Sweden v Greece Tip - Welcome win for Swedes

Sweden lost 3-1 in Norway on Monday but a superb goal from Alexander Isak was a bright spot - now Graham Potter could just do with a confidence-boosting victory to send them off to the World Cup after their quite incredible qualifying campaign.

Greece haven't scored in three games after a friendly defeat to Paraguay and draw with Hungary, so their ambition here may be limited. Potter will make huge changes during the game again but when it all shakes out I'd expect Sweden to come away with the win.

Spain v Iraq Tip - Spain to fill their boots late on

Spain played out a 0-0 with Egypt on Sunday so we should maybe temper expectations a little for the massive 1/201.05 favourites against Iraq, who did win last time out but only against Andorra.

It's a tough betting heat and could depend on team selection to some extent, but Iraq should have more energy and desire in the first half. With Spain's squad so deep in talent, they're more likely to break them down and fill their boots as the game goes on.

France v Ivory Coast Tip - Back 21/103.10 French to find a way

This should be a good workout for France as fellow World Cup qualifiers Ivory Coast are no pushovers with just two defeats in 13 and coming off impressive wins in South Korea (4-0) and Scotland (1-0).

France have four wins on the spin and, with all the talent at their disposal, should win, but Ivory Coast will make a game of this and should find the net at least once.
