The latest round of Euro 2024 qualifiers is upon us and we’re hoping to cash in on the big boys beating the minnows.
There's something oddly satisfying about betting on an embarrassment of riches to annihilate some poor little minnow in international football.
Our Euro 2024 matchday three accumulator features a couple of helpless underdogs sure to get bullied by the big kids on the playground.
Suggested bet
England -3 Asian handicap, Switzerland -2.5 Asian handicap, France -4.5 Asian handicap at Planet Sport Bet
Malta vs England
Just imagine every game you've ever seen where a top 10 side faces a minnow of world football.
Malta might put up a fight early on and it would be lovely if they pinched an early goal. They won't, but let's keep things interesting. Davide Gualtieri vibes.
Eventually, England will get bored of passing the ball around and decide to bag a glut of goals either side of half-time.
Once Harry Kane has scored his customary penalty, there should be plenty of time for Harry Maguire to get his big slab on the end of a corner and make it 4-0.
The people of Malta get to see Eberechi Eze being good at football, the England bench will reek of alcohol, and let's all get massively carried away because it's coming home. Back England to run riot.
Andorra vs Switzerland
Andorra put up a fight at home and their bouncy plastic pitch could be converted into a swimming pool by the weather.
It won't be a comfortable evening for Switzerland, but the team ranked 12th in the world should have far too much quality going forward.
After all, Andorra are a true minnow. They're ranked 153rd in the world and have you ever tried to find them on a map? Extremely tricky.
With a little patience, love and care, the visitors' midfield should be able to poke some finely crafted holes like a Swiss cheese maker making, well, Swiss cheese.
They've scored eight unanswered goals in two commanding wins this campaign and should have enough to find the net three times against Andorra.
Gibraltar vs France
There's no shame in turning up week in week out and trying your best. We all played in youth leagues where there's that one team everyone beats 10-0.
That's probably how players like Kylian Mbappe feel when they play teams like Gibraltar and you have to wonder, could a team like France score 10+ goals if they really, really wanted?
Despite finding it tough in competitive football, Gibraltar have found some teams they can beat. They may take confidence from recent wins over Liechtenstein and Andorra.
Greece and the Netherlands could only beat them 3-0 in recent qualifiers, but that doesn't tell the full story. The Dutch took 52 shots at goal so 3-0 is a mystery.
A typically wild, wasteful and chaotic Greek side took 29 shots at goal so they overperformed by their standards.
The Netherlands beat Gibraltar 3-0, France beat the Netherlands 4-0, so this is going to be at least 7-0. France to win by five or more goals it is.
