Wales vs England betting

Wales vs England odds

Wales will be hoping that they can come out victorious in this battle of Britain and get off the mark in qualifying. On the other hand England will be looking to regain top spot in the group with a win in Cardiff. The two teams form going into the match on Saturday is quite different, England are so far unbeaten, but Wales have lost all three of their matches so far.

Wales

Wales record in qualifying so far has been pretty poor, after losing all three games and scoring just one goal, but they will be looking to halt that run against their local neighbours England on Saturday. Gary Speed has the chance to turn that form around after being appointed Wales boss in December but the former Sheffield manager lost his first game 3-0 back in February. This form is represented in the odds with Wales priced as long as 9.0 with Paddy Power to get the victory. Aaron Ramsey is set to captain his country, but Tottenham winger Gareth Bale is set to miss out through injury and he will be a big miss. Andy King has had a great season at Leicester so far, scoring 13 league goals, and the midfielder is a great price at 9.0 with Bet365 to score at any time.

England

England will be looking to kick on with their qualification campaign on Saturday with a win that could see them return to the top of the group. After the disappointing World Cup, manager Fabio Capello will be looking to qualify with ease for the competition next summer with one eye on the final prize. With this in mind a correct score of 2-0 is looking good at Betfred with odds of 6.5 available. It is often difficult to predict how a national team with shape up after such long periods without a game, but England shouldn’t be too dissimilar from the side that beat Denmark 2-1 with Ferdinand and Gerrard both out injured. This would mean Wayne Rooney and Darren Bent starting upfront together with Jack Wilshere expected to start in midfield. Bent looks good to score the opening goal in Cardiff with odds of 6.5 available from Bet365.
