The Big Saturday Multiple: A Euro 2016 special

Bet 1: Croatia (HOME) @ 1.33 (1/3)
They may only be in third place in Group H but with Norway still having to travel to Italy in their final fixture, I would make Croatia the favourites to qualify in second place behind the Italians.
A win this evening is a must however, and while Bulgaria aren't the worst team in the world, they have lost half of their eight qualifiers, including a 1-0 home defeat against the Croats.
I'm genuinely surprised that the hosts aren't even shorter in the betting given their fine record on home soil. They have won five of their last half dozen in their own country and the sole blemish was a 1-1 draw with Italy.
The Bulgarians have been no great shakes on the road and with nothing to play for, I can't see them posing too much threat here.

Bet 2: Netherlands (AWAY) @ 1.25 (1/4)

It's been a miserable year for the Netherlands and they are on the verge of missing out on Euro 2016. They trail Turkey by two points in Group A and even if they overhaul them, it will only be good enough for a play-off place.
The Dutch have to win tonight away to Kazakhstan and hope that the Czechs do them a favour against the Turks. Danny Blind's side lost their last two qualifiers - by an aggregate scoreline of 4-0 - but they have had time to regroup since then and Kazakhstan have lost six of their eight fixtures.
I'm sure there are plenty of people unwilling to trust Holland tonight, especially away from home, but I think they have enough quality to get the job done, even if they are a bit edgy early on.

Bet 3: Norway v Malta (Over 2.5 goals) @ 1.6 (6/10)

If it's goals you're after - and we are - then Norway is the place to be tonight as the Norwegians will be looking to play themselves into form ahead of their crunch trip to Rome on Tuesday.
Per-Mathias Høgmo's side haven't been overly prolific despite enjoying a fine qualifying campaign but Malta are the group's whipping boys with two draws and six defeats from their eight matches.
The stats are pointing to a relatively low-scoring home win to nil but nothing breeds confidence like giving another team a sound thrashing and I can see that being the game-plan of the manager in this one.

Bet 4: Bosnia v Wales (Under 2.5 goals) @ 1.65 (13/20)

History beckons for Wales as they are set to qualify for the finals of Euro 2016 next summer however they may have to wait until Tuesday if things don't go to plan tonight.
Whatever happens in terms of qualification, I just can't see too many goals here. The Welsh may be top of the group but they've only scored nine times, with their success largely attributed to their defence - just two goals conceded.
Chris Coleman will ask for more of the same from his side and while Bosnia have some big names in attack, they have often flattered to deceive at international level.

Champions League Tipsheet: Barca to come unstuck at San Siro

Inter are in the best form of the Luciano Spalletti era and can upset Barcelona at San Siro on Tuesday, says James Horncastle... Intergalactic Inter v Barcelona Tuesday, 20:00 Live on BT Sport/ESPN Inter  could not go into Tuesday night's clash with Barcelona in better form. This weekend's 5-0 win against Genoa was their seventh in a row in the league and it built on the team's best performance of the season, a 3-0 dismantling of Lazio last Monday. Inter are hitting heights they have previously not reached in 18 months under Spalletti. The team is playing good football, boasts the  best defence in Serie A  and lost causes like Dalbert, Roberto Gagliardini and Joao Mario are suddenly contributing to decisive effect. Saturday's victory served to underline once again that Inter are  no longer dependent on Mauro Icardi for goals . The Argentine was able to put his feet up and keep himself fresh for Barcelona without his absence impacting negatively on th...
