The Group F leader, England, hosts Scotland this Friday in a very interesting game between two teams from the United Kingdom. The Scottish are fighting for the second spot, which gives access to the playoff.
We went through the most valuable lines for this game that promises to be highly entertaining between two neighbors.After one win, a draw and a 0-3 defeat on the road against Slovakia, Scotland is currently in the 4th place with 4 points.
The team always plays with a tremendous soul and bravery which is characteristic of the Scottish people. However, it’s impossible to find any high-quality player on this team. Most of the players compete in the Premier League and the Championship, two of the most competitive leagues in the world. The Sportsbooks usually present higher limits on Championship than on Ligue1 or Serie A, which shows how important this league is.
McArthur and Snodgrass are the two main references on the team’s attack. Both already scored 4 goals this year in the Premier League, which is a great number for two players who compete in teams that fight to avoid relegation, Crystal Palace, and Hull City.
On the other side, England presents a world class team with high-quality players in every position. Since their disastrous loss in the Euro Cup against Iceland, the team achieved three consecutive clean sheets on this qualification stage.
After Sam Allardyce’s scandal, Gareth Southgate took control of the team. The former U23 coach should remain as the team’s manager until the World Cup if he continues the good job, which means three points this Friday at Wembley.
In a betting prospect, there are some interesting lines in this game, especially on the winners market. On the other side, the goals market is very tricky. As we stated before, the two Scotland forwards are in great form but we can’t see the Scottish midfield creating problems to England. In our opinion, Scotland should only create some problems to Joe Hart in set pieces such as Free Kicks and Corners.
England’s straight win is priced at 1.37 Pinnacle which is a very good selection for an accumulator this Friday on the World Cup Qualification games. In the same train of thought, we’ll focus our main for this game on England’s -1.25 AH at 1.90 Pinnacle. For those who are willing to take a higher risk, there is also an amazing value in the -1.5 AH line at 2.19 Sbobet.
After failing to score against Slovenia it’s expecting to see Southgate changing his striker for this game. Harry Kane should be the chosen one to start against Scotland with his odd to score a goal at 2.20 in the green listed bookmakers Bet365. This is a very interesting price to take in a game where England should score two or three goals.
