England Look for Resurrection Under Capello
Fabio Capello's first competitive game as England manager, presents one of the easiest opponents in World soccer, the tiny Andorra. The minnows shouldn't present much of a problem to the mighty Three Lions, losing all twelve of their Euro 2008 qualifiers. However, under the previous incumbent, Steve McLaren, England laboured for 45 minutes away to Andorra, without finding the net, and looked unimpressive in the recent draw with the Czech Republic. Steven Gerrard is the only major absentee for the game in Barcelona for which PinnacleSports.com price England, unsurprisingly as heavy favourites on the World Cup Asian Handicaps. England 2.050 (-3.5 & -4)*, Andorra 1.877 (+3.5 & +4)*.
Capello's first big challenge will came on Wednesday night in Zagreb, when they face Croatia, who famously did the double over them during Euro 2008 qualification, ending their hopes of reaching Austria and Switzerland. Croatia haven't lost a competitive home game since 1994, and under Slavan Bilic, are becoming one of Europe's most powerful soccer, while England have gone in the other direction. It promises to be the most intriguing game in World Cup qualifier betting menu at PinnacleSports.com, offering up to 60% better odds for the game than traditional bookmakers.
Holders Face Tricky Trip to Cyprus
World Cup holders, Italy, begin the defence of the title they won in Germany two years ago, with a tricky trip to Larnaca. Cyprus are enjoying a magical spell on the domestic front, with Famagusta becoming the first Cypriot side in the Champions League, and two further representative in the UEFA Cup. During Euro 2008, Cyprus gave notice of their potential as Giant Killers, beating the Republic of Ireland 5-2, Wales 3-1, and holding the mighty Germany to a 1-1 draw. The Azzurri are now back under the stewardship of Marcello Lippi, who led them to ultimate success in 2008, and is looking to repeat that triumph, starting in Cyprus on Saturday. Italy 2.060 (-1.5), Cyprus Cyprus 1.870 (+1.5). Get 60% better World Cup qualifier betting odds at www.pinnaclesports.com

Georgia v Republic of Ireland
Boylesport Special Offer
This has the potential to cost Boylesport a lot of money. I remember the last champions league final and paddypower offered to refund all losing bets if Ronaldo scored. Ronaldo delivered and it cost PaddyPower €1.5 million.So Boylesport are offering to refund ALL losing single bets if Robbie Keane scores a goal in this game. 33 goals in 81 matches is a good strike rate.
From what I know of Georgian football they are a strong home team but nothing special on the road. With the trouble over there this game will be played in Mainz.
Looking at the Irish team sheet its a pretty strong team. Only absentee is Duff. Republic squad: Given, Kiely, Bruce, Delaney, Dunne, Finnan, Kelly, Kilbane, O'Brien, O'Shea, McShane, Hunt, McGeady, Miller, A Reid, S Reid, Whelan, Doyle, Keane, Keogh, Long, Murphy.
The top price of 1.8 is worth a go at Boylesport, especially with the offer of bet refunds if Keane scores.

To be honest I have no strong views on any of these games. England should beat Andorra easily which is reflected in the price. 50/1 on is the lowest I have seen for an away win.
I think the best thing to do this week is have a few fun bets at PaddyPower.
