International football is slowly starting to take centre stage as the FIFA World Cup approaches, with teams beginning to participate in preparation friendlies ahead of the competition.
That is the case on Monday, with a number of international friendly fixtures set to unfold throughout the day.
Read on for best booking codes to use at Bet9ja, with all odds available at the time of writing:
Slovakia vs Malta
Slovakia and Malta both missed out on FIFA World Cup qualification, but they will both be aiming to put that disappointment behind them and start building momentum ahead of their UEFA Nations League campaigns in September.
Slovakia will certainly be the favourites to claim the win against Malta, with the hosts winning five of their last eight games, while the visitors have lost five and won just one of their last six matches.
Furthermore, Slovakia have won four of their last five meetings with Malta, and we expect them to continue that dominance with another win here.
Slovakia to win, 1.26 – 5GBM3KT
Norway vs Sweden
Norway enjoyed a sensational World Cup qualifying campaign, winning all of eight of their matches and scoring 37 goals in that time to ensure they qualified for the summer’s tournament ahead of Italy.
Although they followed that up with a disappointing draw and loss in their last two friendly fixtures, Norway will be eager to get back to winning ways ahead of the World Cup, and they will fancy their chances against Sweden.
Sweden narrowly qualified for the World Cup through the play-offs thanks to their UEFA Nations League placement, after enduring a disastrous qualifying campaign that saw them finish at the bottom of their group.
Although their play-off wins came in their last two games, boosting their confidence, they have struggled against Norway in recent meetings, with back-to-back defeats, and given Norway’s clear qualities that were on display in the World Cup qualifiers, we are backing the hosts to win.
Norway to win, 1.88 – 5GBM3WY
Turkey vs North Macedonia
Turkey head into this friendly against North Macedonia in superb form, with five wins and one draw in their last six matches, including securing their place in the World Cup through the play-offs in that time.
In stark comparison, North Macedonia have lost two and drawn four of their last six matches, failing to qualify for the summer’s competition during that time.
Given the contrast in the teams’ form heading into this game, we expect Turkey to dominate and secure the victory, and with Turkey scoring at least one goal in four of their last six matches, we are backing over 1.5 goals to be scored.
Turkey & over 1.5 goals, 1.37 – 5GBLZMS
Austria vs Tunisia
Austria are certainly the favourites heading into this meeting with Tunisia, and the hosts will be expected to control the encounter and ultimately secure a commanding victory.
Austria have scored over one goal in six of their last 10 matches, while Tunisia have conceded at least one goal in five of their last seven, highlighting the attacking and defensive strengths/weaknesses of the two sides.
With that in mind, we are predicting that this game will produce over 1.5 goals throughout the 90 minutes.
Over 1.5 goals, 1.33 – 5GBM378
