188BET takes a look at the betting for the International games

The club has plenty of players travelling the world on international duty this weekend. James McCarthy scored for the republic of Ireland U21 team on Wednesday while the longest journey will be for Antonio Alcaraz who travels to Japan and China with Paraguay.

The big game for England fans is at Wembley of course. England have won 19 of their last 23 competitive fixtures at home. Yes, they are missing some key players but Gerrard is fit, having starred against Hungary, Rooney is back in the goals and being a streak player is good value at 4.0 to net first at Wembley, and Bulgaria are a side very much in transition. They have not kept a clean sheet in their last nine games and are missing Berbatov through international retirement. He scored 48 goals in 77 games and will be a big loss. England are 1.30 to win the game but can be backed at 2.07 to win by two or more. They achieved that in 14 of those 19 home wins so on past form, never mind the desire to start afresh after South Africa, that represents good value.

Wales are a good bet to get at least a point from their trip to Montenegro. The Welsh tend to play better away from home, scoring in eight of their last nine competitive trips and having won twice away in their World Cup group. The odds on a win or a draw are 2.03.

With two wins in a row, confidence is rising at the DW about what this season could be like. 188BET is currently offering odds of 4.50 about the Latics getting six points or more from the three September games in the Barclays Premier League against Sunderland, Manchester City and Birmingham City.

We'll be back next Friday previewing the home game against Sunderland for which the Latics can currently be backed at odds of 2.35.
