Wednesday International Tips: Tevez to relish return to West Ham

Carlos Tevez is enjoying a productive club season at Juventus

Michael Lintorn foresees a Brazil win, another Netherlands hiccup and goals for Argentina on Wednesday night...

Turkey v Brazil
Wednesday, 18:30

Match Odds: Turkey 6.05/1, Brazil 1.654/6, The Draw 4.216/5

Brazil's 1-7 World Cup semi-final humiliation against Germany was supposed to scar all involved and cause irreversible long-term damage, though obviously nobody told returning coach Dunga or the players who he has retained such as Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Oscar and Neymar.

The Selecao have played four times since the World Cup and won four times, with the most recent two triumphs the most impressive: a 2-0 success against rivals Argentina and 4-0 dismissal of Japan. With Turkey winning none of their first three Euro 2016 qualifiers and losing two, the visitors look a tasty price at 1.654/6.

Recommended Bet: Back Brazil to win @ 1.654/6

Netherlands v Mexico
Wednesday, 19:30

Match Odds: Netherlands 1.9210/11, Mexico 4.77/2, The Draw 3.7511/4

As discussed on Betting.Betfair last month, the start of Guus Hiddink's second stint as Netherlands boss has been little more than an effective advertisement for the slogan "never go back".

The World Cup bronze medallists lost a friendly to Italy and two of their first three Euro 2016 qualifiers against Czech Republic and Iceland, recovering from 0-1 down for their only points against Kazakhstan. The mood of crisis has been sufficient for Hiddink to hint that he will resign if victory isn't achieved in the upcoming showdown with Latvia.

All is comparatively rosy in the Mexico garden. They kept hold of animated coach Miguel Herrera after the brutal World Cup round-of-16 defeat to the Dutch in a game that they led until the 88th minute and have been rewarded with a draw against Chile and three successive wins. The time feels ripe for a measure of revenge.

Recommended Bet: Lay Netherlands to win @ 1.9310/11

Argentina v Croatia
Wednesday, 19:45

Match Odds: Argentina 1.282/7, Croatia 14.5n/a, The Draw 6.25/1

Ten goals suggest that this has already been a pretty impressive season for Carlos Tevez, but this is surely the highlight to date. Lionel Messi, Angel Di Maria and Gonzalo Higuain are among the stars descending upon the Boleyn Ground for this clash, yet the predetermined hero of the piece is Tevez.

The idol of both Argentina and West Ham's fanbases will make his first appearance in front of the former since 2011 and in east London since 2012, having been restored to the international set-up by Tata Martino after three years of being frozen out by Alejandro Sabella.

Croatia's decision to rest their best players has established the Albiceleste as strong favourites, but the former haven't fired a blank in 11 fixtures dating back to last November, so both teams to score is an attractive option at 2.486/4.

Recommended Bet: Back both teams to score @ 2.486/4
