Israel vs Andorra Betting Tips

It’s fair to comment that Israel’s Euro 2016 qualifying campaign has been effectively de-railed and is in need of repair. They won their opening three games in Group B action and looked to be a favourite to qualify for the expanded 2016 competition. However, a 3-0 home loss to Wales was followed by defeats to Belgium and Bosnia, and they are now in danger of slipping out of the battle for the qualification altogether.

Still, a game at home against Andorra still presents a significant opportunity for Israel to get their qualification campaign back on track. They’ve got a relatively healthy squad and this is an organised and decent squad. They still have a realistic chance of qualifying for their first European championships.

Are Andorra starting to improve as a footballing nation? They’ve drawn a couple of friendlies against fellow minnows in recent months. However, their 2016 Euro qualifying campaign has still been unimpressive. They’ve already lost to Cyprus twice in group play by a combined 8-1 scoreline. They’ve lost two away games by a combined 11-0 scoreline.

When Israel visited Andorra early on in the group stages, they won that game 4-1. They haven’t played as well since then, but they should still fancy their chances against this Andorra team.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Andorra are poor

We just don’t see Andorra putting up much of a fight here. They’ve lost by big margins away from home and that will continue.

2. Israel will keep the ball

Israel have been disrupted by teams that have played pretty well with the ball and who have harassed their players on the ball. It won’t work that way in this match-up and they’ll be able to build up their attacks in a more considered manner.

3. Understand the odds

Israel’s mediocre form combined with the fact that they only won by three goals in their previous match-up is influencing the positive Asian Handicap odds in this game. They ought to have a bigger handicap line and the odds are very favourable in that direction.
