Healy 80/1 for Third Successive Hat-Trick

Despite a comprehensive 4-1 win in Liechtenstein on Saturday, bookmakers make Northern Ireland massive outsiders to beat Sweden on Wednesday. bet365 go 9/2 about Lawrie Sanchez's men grabbing all three points, which they've already done against Spain during their current qualifying campaign. Striker David Healy has been in unbelievable form for his country, registering consecutive hat-tricks in the past two matches and he's 80/1 (William Hill) to manage this again. Nevertheless, Sweden will be tough opposition for the Northern Irish, and the Group F leaders are no better than 8/11 (bet direct) to cement their position at the top of the table with another three points. The draw will appeal to many at 12/5 (Paddy Power), although the preference is for a 1-0 scoreline in favour of the visitors - 11/2 with Coral at the time of writing. This match also marks the return of Zlatan Ibrahimovic to the Sweden team and the enigmatic striker could well be worth a punt at 5/1 (bet direct) to open the scoring on Wednesday night. The Inter star is having a brilliant season and it would be no surprise to see him find holes in the Irish defence.
