Tuesday football tips

Woking to beat Altrincham @ 19/20

Woking lost out to promotion hopefuls York City at the weekend, but they should bounce back against an Altrincham side that have struggled on their travels at times.

The 15th-placed visitors have lost nine of their last 12 away games and have won just once in that period, which came against the relegation-threatened Brackley Town.

The Cardinals head into this tie nine points off the play-off positions and on a six-game unbeaten run at Kingfield Stadium, with five of these assignments ending in victory.

Moise Kean to score anytime, Moise Kean 2+ shots, Mateo Retegui 1+ shots on target & Edin Dzeko 1+ shots on target @ 23/5

Moise Kean made a big difference in Italy’s 2-0 win over Northern Ireland on Thursday, and he can continue his goalscoring ways as he bids to help the Azzurri qualify for the World Cup.

The Fiorentina man has scored in four of his last seven starts for club and country and has five goals in his last four appearances for his national team. 

The 26-year-old also has the seventh-highest shot tally in Europe’s top five leagues this season. His six shots against Northern Ireland leave him with 23 shots in his last six games, and he has had two or more shots in each of these, so he looks good for at least a couple of shots and a goal on Tuesday.

Striking partner Mateo Retegui should also prove a threat to Bosnia-Herzegovina after tallying eight shots on target in his last six games for club and country, with him testing the opposition goalkeeper at least once in five of these.

For the underdogs, their hopes will rest on Edin Dzeko’s shoulders. The 40-year-old scored against Wales and has netted seven goals in his last nine games for club and country, registering at least one shot on target in each of those games.

Woking to beat Altrincham, Deportivo La Coruna to beat CF Cordoba, Poland double chance vs Sweden & Czech Republic double chance vs Denmark @ 10/1

Altrincham have lost nine of their last 12 games and look justified underdogs to falter against a Woking side with five wins from six at Kingfield Stadium.

In the Spanish second tier, Deportivo La Coruna are locked in a heated title battle and have taken three points in three of their last four at home. They should strengthen their top-spot chances against Cordoba, who have lost their last four on the road.

The big story on Tuesday lies in the European World Cup qualifiers, and both Czech Republic and Poland look good value to make a good game of things.

Poland are unbeaten in seven and face a Sweden side with only one win in their last seven, while favourites Denmark have only won two of their last ten away games and travel to a Czech Republic side unbeaten at home since June 2024.
