Friday football tips: Wales' World Cup qualifying mission continues

World Cup qualifying takes centre stage on Friday and it is a big night for Robert Page's Wales, who face a crunch clash with Czech Republic in Prague.

There are ten more qualifiers taking place around Europe, with heavyweights Germany and Netherlands both in action, while there is also one fixture taking place in England's fourth tier with Tranmere playing host to Colchester.

Today's best accumulator bets

Bets to be placed by 7.45pm

Croatia to beat Cyprus

Czech Republic to beat Wales

Slovenia to beat Malta

Turkey to beat Norway

Wales are minus Gareth Bale while Norway are without their talisman Erling Haaland, which leaves their respective nations vulnerable on trips to Czech Republic and Turkey.

Cyprus have lost their last five internationals to nil and should be brushed aside by Croatia, while Slovenia can master a Malta side they beat in September. The fourfold pays over 5-1.

Bet of the day

Turkey to beat Norway 7.45pm

Norway are enjoying a decent campaign but are without their talisman Erling Haaland for the trip to Istanbul. Back-up striker Joshua King is also absent so they look short on firepower.

Cards bet of the day

Czech Republic v Wales
Sky Sports Football & S4C, 7.45pm

With Belgium running riot in Group E, this fixture will go some way to determining who secures a place in the playoffs. With a physical test in store, there could be some value in backing Welsh forward Kieffer Moore to pick up a booking. The Cardiff man has been shown seven yellow cards in just 21 internationals and appears overpriced to collect another caution at 5-1.

Best bet
Kieffer Moore to be shown a card

Stat of the day

Czech Republic v Wales

Wales have failed to score in four of their last five internationals.
