World Cup: Scotch cheer in Chisinau?
Scotland are bookmaker Victor Chandler's bogey side heading into tonight's round of World Cup qualifiers.With coach Berti Vogts' job seemingly on the line the Scots are seeing a wealth of support at 7/5 to claim a much needed win in Moldova."We've seen a few £1k and £2k bets for the Scots but it's a large volume of smaller punters that are sending our liabilities towards the six figure mark," said Chandler's football trader Nick Blezard."That punter faith goes against a tide of negative publicity from the media about Scotland since their defeat at the weekend."The Tartan Army were plunged into misery after Scotland lost 1-0 to Norway in Glasgow on Saturday and Blezard believes that the Moldovans will be far from a pushover in Chisinau."Italy only won 1-0 in Moldova recently and the home side even had chances to go in front, so that highlights the task ahead of Vogts' side."Scotland have won eight times in 29 matches under Vogts.Elsewhere, the firm have cut Estonia from 11/2 to 9/2 as the Baltic nation travel across the border to take on neighbours Latvia.Match betting: 6/4 Moldova v 7/5 Scotland Draw 11/5
