AUSTRALIA-GHANA


This friendly takes place at Loftus Road, the home of QPR, plenty of London based Aussies are sure to attend and will make up the bulk of the crowd.

However, this looks to be the only advantage Australia will have. Vidmar, Popovic, Tiatto and Lazaridis have all retired from international duty, Kewell, McDonald, Skoko, Neill, Cahill and Viduka are all missing, Emerton and Moore are carrying injuries and are not certain to start.

Very much a "b" team at best and those that are starting, are unhappy about the scheduling of this fixture.

Strong squad for Ghana and their superb midfield is intact, Essien, Appiah and Muntari all look likely to start.

The very big prices for a Ghana victory, have all disappeared, but the -1/4 ball asian line is still acceptable and is my selection.

If you are based in the UK and near a Ladbrokes betting shop, they are offering 2.75 on their coupon which they will lay for nominal stakes.

4 points Ghana -1/4 ball asian line 2.03 // similar odds available on the exchanges

Good Luck.
