LAST WEEK’S PICKS - ENGLAND
(7/4), SWITZERLAND (13/10) & CZECH REPUBLIC (7/5) ALL WON!
ENGLAND NOW 7/1 (World Cup Odds) FOR WORLD
CUP GLORY
England staged a remarkable comeback to clinch a thrilling 3-2 victory over
Argentina last weekend to earn a cut in the World Cup odds from 8/1 to 7/1.
The result wasn’t unexpected, and the Three Lions were well-backed (and
tipped up) at 7/4, but what was more surprising was the fact that we got to
see a competitive friendly and, as a result, there was plenty of betting
action via bet365’s live ‘In-Play Console’. With only three minutes to go,
England were trading at 25/1 (Argentina 1/20), while they were also a very
backable 14/1 after Argentina had gone 1-0 up after 34 minutes.
However, it’s easy to get carried away with this result, which means nothing
in terms of the World Cup, and if a further reality check were needed,
Brazil were showing why they’re 3/1 favourites with an 8-0 thrashing of UAE.
If England are to go all the way, they’ll need the defending champions to
have an off-day or two, which is always possible given the unpredictable
nature of knockout football. A few more goals from Saturday’s hero, Michael
Owen would help too, and he’s 15/8 with bet365 to be top England scorer
(Rooney 4/1).
However, England and Brazil were not the only market movers at the weekend,
with Italy cut into 10/1 from 11/1 after their 3-1 victory over Holland. The
Dutch were missing a few players, but this was still an impressive
performance from Italy’s new-look forward partnership of Luca Toni and
Alberto Gilardino. There were also play-off victories for Spain, who were
chopped into 16/1 from 20/1, and the Czech Republic (20/1 from 33/1).
However, anyone looking for a long-shot at this stage might want to consider
Serbia at 66/1. The Serbs finished above Spain in qualifying, conceding just
one goal in the process, and they may be able to do a Greece!
