Football betting tips: Draw some comfort from this Euro 2020 double

We have teamed up with BetMcLean.com to bring you our weekly Charity Bet.

The generous bookmaker has offered us a £50 stake to place on our chosen tip every week.

The Charity Bet will run throughout the summer, with all winnings donated to our chosen charity which is the Children's Heartbeat Trust .

The Trust supports families of children and young people with heart disease in Northern Ireland.

If you listened to our That's What I Call Football podcast during the season you will know we have already banked over £1,000 for the charity.

Let's try and add to the tally.

This week's tip

The Euro 2020 qualifiers are in full swing this weekend with some great games to get stuck into.

And we have a tasty draw double for punters to get stuck into.

First up it's Northern Ireland's trip to Estonia in Group C (Saturday, 5pm).

Michael O'Neill's side beat the same opposition 2-0 at Windsor Park back in March, but away from home will be a sterner test.

Estonia have only played that one game in the group so it is hard to assess the quality of Martin Reim's side.

They have drawn their last two home games, against Iceland and Hungary respectively, while Northern Ireland haven't won any of their last seven fixtures on the road.

Indeed, they haven't even scored in those seven games.

So we are siding with the draw (2/1 with McLean Bookmakers).

Meanwhile, it's second vs first in Group J on Saturday night (7.45pm) when Greece host Italy.

The Italians have won their two opening games in the Euro qualifiers, scoring eight goals and conceding none.

They were against weak opposition, however, in Finland (2-0) and Liechtenstein (6-0) - and both were at home.

Greece's opening two games were away from home, beating Liechtenstein 2-0 and then drawing with Bosnia and Herzogovina (2-2). They came from 2-0 down to earn a point in that one.

And we think with home advantage they could claim a point in this one (21/10 with McLean Bookmakers).

Selection

Draw double: Estonia/N Ireland (2/1) and Greece/Italy (21/10). The double pays out just over 8/1.
