REPUBLIC OF IRELAND VS PARAGUAY FRIENDLY MATCH BETTING TIPS

It’s unfortunate that Ireland don’t have more to play for today but, courtesy of Thierry Henry’s slight of hand, they will have to make due with just a friendly against their opponents Paraguay. Popular UK bookmaker Blue Square has priced Ireland as the slim favourites to win this one with a 2.4 price ahead of the South Americans’ odds of 2.7. The draw pays out at 3.2 and that’s not a bad bet either.

If you think Ireland will run away with this one and really get the business done against Paraguay, try backing them on the handicap with a 5.0 price on Ireland (-1.0). Paraguay (+1.0) pays out at 1.53.
The bookies don’t seem like they favour a particularly high-scoring affair as they have priced under 2.5 goals at 1.53 while over 2.5 goals rewards at 2.37. I think there are a few match-winners on the pitch here and I think there could definitely be a few great chances today so I’m tempted to back the over here.
Examining the correct score market, you’ll see that a 1-1 draw is the favourite outcome with a 6.5 price. Ireland to win 1-0 pays out at 7.0 while Paraguay 1-0 pays out at 7.5. Ireland to win 2-1 pays out at 10.0 while 2-0 rewards at 11.0. Paraguay 2-1 pays out at 11.0 while Paraguay 2-0 is sitting at 13.0.
If you want to delve into the player specials market, I wouldn’t blame you one bit as there are a few go-to players that I expect to influence the game. You’ll find Robbie Keane the favoured anytime goalscorer with a 2.37 price while he is priced at 23.0 to score in both halves. Keane is 51.0 to hit a hat-trick and 13.0 to score with a header. He is 11.0 from outside the box and 4.0 to score first for Ireland.
Compare him to Paraguay’s Roque Santa Cruz- he’s listed at 2.5 to score anytime and 26.0 to score in both halves. He is 67.0 to hit a hat-trick and 9.0 to score a header. He is a massive 21.0 to score from outside the box.
Kevin Doyle is priced at 2.62 to score at any time and 29.0 to score in both halves. He is also at 67.0 to hit a hat-trick and 9.0 to score from a header. He is 10.0 to hit the woodwork and I think that’s not a bad bet at all.
I’ll be backing Ireland to score in both halves at a 4.5 price and I’ll also be backing a 2-2 draw at 17.0.
