SPORTS BETTING: Take Luton to find winning form
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.They have not made the greatest start, but Luton (8-11 with Coral and the Tote), favourites to win the Second Division at the start of the season should be too strong for Southend at home this evening.
Wednesday's World Cup qualifiers offer a mix of value propositions and bankers. Israel have a better chance at Bulgaria than the betting suggests and it would be no surprise to seem them force a draw (4-1 with the Tote). Northern Ireland, however, face a tough task at home to Germany (8-13 with Ladbrokes and the Tote).
Portugal (1-6 with Ladbrokes) should make short work of Armenia and the Republic Of Ireland (2-5 Hills) can brush side Lithuania.
Macedonia are a better side than they are given credit for and might force a draw (9-2 with the Tote) in Romania but Turkey (8-15 Coral and William hill) deserve to be long odds-on to beat beleaguered Wales. Finally, Ukraine (1-5 Ladbrokes) are bankers to beat Albania and are useful fodder for bumping up the returns on multiple bets.
