Tuesday football tips: Wales face tough assignment against Czech Republic

There are ten World Cup qualifiers taking place across Europe on Tuesday and the pick of the action takes place in Cardiff, where Wales require a positive result against Czech Republic.

Ireland travel to Qatar for a friendly encounter, seeking to record a first success at the 11th time of asking for manager Stephen Kenny, while there is just one match in the EFL as Carlisle host Crawley in League Two.

Both teams to score in Carlisle v Crawley

Slovenia won their opening World Cup qualifier against Croatia and should readily outclass minnows Cyprus, while Serbia, who followed up their opening win over Ireland by holding Portugal, can prevail in Azerbaijan.

Norway, bolstered by the services of Erling Haaland and Martin Odergaard, are fancied to win in North Macedonia while goals at both ends look likely in the battle in the basement between Carlisle and Crawley. The fourfold pays just over 11-2 with Hills.
