Northern Ireland host Estonia at Windsor Park on Friday night in their penultimate game of Euro 2012. At one point there looked to be a possibly qualification for the Northern irish but they need to win their last two matches in Group C and hope that results elsewhere go their way, with some bookmakers making this around a 100/1 chance despite being mathmatically possible. As for Friday's match, Bet365 make Nigel Worthington's side even money favourite to take three points against an Estonian side available to back at 13/5, with the draw 9/4.
Northern Ireland got off to a good start in their Group C campaign, beating Slovenia away and drawing 0-0 with Italy at home. Two dropped points in the Faroe Islands followed and that really set the trend for the rest of their campaign, going down 2-1 in Serbia despite leading and drawing at home with Slovenia. A comprehensive 4-0 win over the Faroes followed but successive defeats at the hands of Serbia and Estonia followed and now their European Championship qualification dream is almost over.
Estonia on the other hand are finishing the group strongly. Currently sitting third in the table, one point behind Serbia in second having played a game more, the Estonians will be keen to sign off their campaign with a win on Friday and at least ask the question of Serbia who play Italy at home and Slovenia away in their two remaining group games.
Estonia beat Northern Ireland 4-1 in the last Group C game and at odds of 13/5 on Friday they make serious appeal. They have won five of their last ten competitive games and have beaten Slovenia and Serbia during this campaign as they go in search of a double over Nigel Worthington's side.
Take the home win over Faroe Islands and Northern Ireland haven't scored more than one goal in any of their qualification campaign for Euro 2012. Bet 365 go odds of 7/10 that there will be under 2.5 goals but there might be more value backing Estonia to win 1-0 at 9/1. Whilst backing Estonia to be the first team to score at 8/5 also looks a good bet in what could be a tough match for Northern Ireland.
