International Tips: Ronaldo to lose Man United return

Cristiano Ronaldo is at Old Trafford as Portugal face Argentina

Trust Argentina to prevail over Portugal in a glamour game at Old Trafford, as well a backing goal shortages in Romania and Poland...

Romania v Denmark

Match Odds: Romania 2.3811/8, Denmark 3.3512/5, The Draw 3.3512/5

Denmark are carving a niche as able travellers, losing just twice on the road since February 2013. Unfortunately for fans of outright betting, Romania are just as reliable on the homestead, so calling a winner here will be tough.

However, the Tricolorii's exploits at base camp have dug up an alternative for us. There have been exactly two goals scored in five of their previous six home games, with the sixth in that sequence a goalless draw with Argentina. This contrives to render a 2.5-goal line too steep to cross for both teams.

Recommended Bet: Back under 2.5 goals @ 1.674/6

Argentina v Portugal

Match Odds: Argentina 1.9420/21, Portugal 4.47/2, The Draw 3.7511/4

The Lionel Messi v Cristiano Ronaldo angle dominates the build-up to this one, but don't let the furore distract you from locating a winning wager.

Keeping it simple is the key; Argentina are in great form, winning three of their four games since the World Cup final and racking up 13 goals in the process. Okay, so seven of these came in mitigating circumstances against Hong Kong, but it's difficult to picture the pragmatic Portuguese plundering as many goals against an inferior foe.

They've lost to Albania since their poor summer showing in the land of joga bonito, while they could only notch once at home to Armenia last time out. A strong Albiceleste contingent will be on display at Old Trafford and they look great value at a shade shy of even money.

Recommended Bet: Back Argentina to win @ 1.9420/21

Poland v Switzerland

Match Odds: Poland 2.6213/8, Switzerland 3.02/1, The Draw 3.3512/5

A prevalent trend renders punting on this clash straightforward. Two gimmies against San Marino and Lithuania (both of which were won 4-0) have got the Swiss' flailing Euro 2016 qualifying campaign back on track, while Poland are in good nick too, recording a 4-0 win of their own against Georgia last time out.

The rout that brought an end to Temuri Ketsbaia's reign with the former Soviet state was the tenth Polish match in 12 in which only one or neither side has found the net. Backers of the same bet in eight of Switzerland's previous ten would've pocketed a profit and there should be cause for celebration for punters brave enough to side with another instalment.

Recommended Bet: Back both teams to score? No @ 1.9520/21
