Football Tips 25/07/2014 -

The young Serbians will be desperate to win this one as there is still a chance to go through the group stages despite drawing their first two games, but let's note here they have pulled off a draw with Germany and the Ukraine, two pretty strong teams in this tournament. It could come down to goal difference if Serbia win this one and the game from the top two results in a draw so don't expect the Serbs to be holding back, they should really have a go at this Bulgarian team. Bulgaria are not known for scoring many goals whereas Serbia have scored 6 in their last 3 and are unbeaten in 15 matches. Serbia also managed to get themselves into quite a few one on one positions with the goalkeeper in their last game and managed to score twice beyond a well organised and promising German side.

The Croatian Champions take on local rivals Lokomotiva Zagreb in a fixture they have dominated over the past 5 years with 12 wins out of 13 and they have actually scored an average of 2 goals a game away from home in this encounter. 5 of the last 7 away visits to Lokomotiva would have seen this bet a success and that was mainly down to the league already been won by Dinamo at that point. The champs are expected to be on top here and we're happy to back them to find the back of the net at least twice in this one.

Shamrock have only suffered defeats to the only 2 teams above them in the league. Their opponents although picking up a win against second to bottom Bray Wanderers last time out lost their last 4 games to nil and conceded a shocking 21 goals. Shamrock have won the last 6 matches head to head with 3 of those fixtures being played in the last 3 months.
