EURO 2008 QUALIFICATION ......


Scotland have made a little progress under Walter Smith, but face a whole different test tonight, when France visit Hampden Park.

Smith has decided to gamble and will start several players who are either, very short of match fitness, or carrying slight injuries. They have no left sided defender and there is a lack of pace and mobility throughout the team.

You would be hard pressed to name one Scottish player who could make the French 22. With a defensive line up, they look set to go with the away formation of 4-5-1, they are going to concede a lot of possession, to the superior French side.

Pace may well be the deciding factor and it is hard to see how the home side will deal with Henry's electrifying bursts, he could have a field day.

4 points France -3/4 ball asian line 1.87.

Back shortly

Good Luck.
