ENGLAND VS MONTENEGRO EURO 2012 BETTING TIPS AND PREDICTIONS
_1.jpg)
England go into this one as very significant favourites and you reckon that all eyes will be on Wayne Rooney as Montenegro coach Zlatko Kranjcar has pinpointed the under-fire England star as the key threat his side.
Rio Ferdinand retains the England captaincy from Steven Gerrard, who was an able stand-in during Ferdinand's absence, and Rio will be under a lot of pressure to deliver a resolute (and error-free) performance in mid-field.
John Terry is out for this fixture and, with Phil Jagielka also out injured, we will likely see Joleon Lescott team up with Ferdinand.
England's odds to win the match are listed at around 1.2 with Ladbrokes and you expect that price to drop pre-match if the expected volume comes in late.
Montenegro can be backed at a 15.0 price tag and the draw is listed at 6.0.
The favoured correct score option is considered to be the 2-0 result and that's priced at 6.0. A 1-0 or 3-0 victory is rewarding at a 7.0 payout. A 3-1 victory pays 12.0 while 3-2 pays out at 34.0.
If you fancy England to put together a big total you need to get up to 6-0 before you start looking at a seriously large payout. 6-0 to England pays out at 34.0 while a 5-0 victory pays a mere 19.0.
Wayne Rooney's odds to score at any point are priced at 1.72 and that's a much higher price than you used to see on Rooney to score anytime and he's a great bet to score here and get the momentum back in his favour. Montenegro shouldn't be underestimated, but their defence isn't skilled enough to handle Rooney if he is playing to his potential.
Wayne Rooney to score a hat trick is priced at 15.0.
A penalty to be awarded and scored is another solid selection and you can back that at a 3.0 price.
England on a (-2.0) handicap is paying out at 2.62 and that's another solid selection for any England fan looking for a bit of extra value.
Peter Crouch to score at any point is paying out at 2.1 while Steven Gerrard is priced at 2.8. Kevin Davies is trading at 3.0 and you reckon that's going to be a popular bet. Adam Johnson is listed at 3.25 while Ashley Young might be a decent shout at 4.5.
