Besides finding free football picks and soccer betting picks, betting on international friendlies is worth considering when there are not a lot of sporting events to bet on. Even though betting on friendly games can be risky, we will try to show you how to make some profit even from these kinds of game.
First thing to do before placing a bet is to look at the squads. It is important to see if the coach called all his best players or he will instead test some new ones. If the match comes after the disappointing campaign at the big tournament, he is likely to change the big portion of his starting line-up.
Motivation is also very important and there are coaches that are determined to win every game, regardless if it is competitive or not. The motivation is likely to be even bigger if the coach is under pressure as a defeat even in a friendly match could be fatal.
Other coaches are not interested in the result but see a friendly game as an opportunity to try out some new players and all this is good to know when placing a bet.
If both opponents are eager to impress the fans rather than recording a good result, then a good option is to bet on over as the teams are unlikely to pay a lot of attention to defence. However, there are some coaches that take these games completely seriously and they would rather see their players fulfill their tactical ideas than playing attacking football, and in these cases the best option is betting on under.
You should also back the national team that has just had a new coach appointed as the players will be looking to impress him in order to stay in the squad for the competitive games.
