Ireland’s trip into Borat’s homeplace on Friday marks the start of yet another World Cup campaign and if you’re looking for a few flutters, Paddy Power have all the bases covered.
After what went on at the Euros and with Trap’s popularity at an all-time low, there is a definite sense of apathy surrounding the beginning of the Road to Rio, but the prospect of making a few quid out of the Ireland game and all the other qualifiers should help heighten the interest.
It’s a long way away yet, but if you think the doubts existing over the current Ireland side are misplaced, you can back Ireland to qualify as group winners at 10/1, just to qualify at 11/4, or to go the whole way and win the bloody thing at 225/1.
Brilliant as it would be, the chances of that actually happening reside somewhere between slim and none but there are odds available on the World Cup winners, who will top the qualifying group and who will be making up the numbers in Rio for all the teams involved in the qualifying campaign.
As far as Friday is concerned, Ireland are 3/4 to come away with a win, although many of you underwhelmed by the Green Army could opt for the draw at 5/2 or for Kazakhstan to cause an almighty shock and beat us at 4/1.
Darron Gibson won’t be in Astana after becoming the latest in a long line of players to fall out with the manager and if you think he won’t be the last to be at odds with the fiery Italian, you can back whoever else you think might be the next to jump from the Irish ship, although we do sincerely hope it doesn’t come to that.
One can’t mention Kazakhstan without mentioning Borat and with that in mind, Paddy Power have thrown a few Borat specials into the mix ahead of tomorrow’s encounter.
As well as all those, there are loads more football related bets on offer such as odds on the total points for all home nations playing twice this week, the possibility of a Scotland side featuring no player from the Scottish leagues and all match betting for games in England and Scotland this weekend.
