Brazil vs England Betting Tips Part
- By A.J. Ryder on May 31, 2013 17:17 GMTEngland kick off against Brazil on Sunday in a fixture that seems to have been darkened a bit by the relatively lackluster performance Roy Hodgson’s men flashed on Tuesday when the match petered out to a tame 1-1 draw. It was a well taken goal by the Irish but England looked to be relatively clueless going forward for much of the match-up and required a Frank Lampard penalty to pick up the draw.

The fixture against Brazil is only a friendly but in big ones like this you can always expect players to do their best to step up and have a go at things as there is always a lot of pride at stake even if World Cup qualifying isn’t having much to do with the matter.
There had been question marks over whether the fixture was actually going to go ahead or not and punters will be encouraged to know that the match is scheduled to happen but there is definitely going to be some concerns raised over the readiness of Brazil to host the World Cup proper next year.
Security concerns have dogged the Brazilian government but it is the readiness of the stadia that will be the genuine make or break factor and that did place a bit of a shadow over this match.
Regardless, with everything set to go ahead, punters will find Brazil trading at a slim 6/10 price tag with the bookmaker placing England at a lengthy 5/1 listing. There is a lot to like about that price if you are a die-hard England fan who is going to back them no matter what, but it definitely indicates just how much the books are against Hodgson’s chances here.
The draw can be backed at a 13/5 listing and that’s not a bad punt in the grand scheme of things if you expect Brazil to underperform.
