ENGLAND VS ALGERIA PREDICTIONS AND LAST MINUTE BETTING TIPS
We're just a few minutes away from kick-off between England and Algeria and, in the midst of an epic day of World Cup action, this remains the feature match. Many folks expect England to rout the Algerians, but I think the match might be a bit more even than many people might think.
Personally, I'm confident that England will win this one and exercise the demons from the draw against the United States. The US proved that they're tough contenders and can scrape a draw when the chips are down. In all honesty, that Referee shouldn't see another World Cup match and you don't really blame people for thinking the fix was in. Looked a clean goal to me.
Anyways, Bet365 prices England as the slim 1.2 favourites to win this match with Algeria listed at a lengthy 19.0. The draw is priced at around 6.5, but only a win will do for both teams, truth be told. If Algeria can't win this one then they are pretty much out. They're a better team than you might think and they have a few recognizable names on there.
Bet365 has just cut England's price to win while raising the odds on a draw or an Algerian victory.
The favoured correct score outcome is either 1-0 or 2-0 England at a 5.0 price while a 3-0 victory rewards at a slim 6.5. A 4-0 victory is priced at 11.0 while a 4-1 result trades at 21.0. A 5-0 result is also priced at 21.0 but 5 goals is an awful lot to put past a team at this level.
The bookmakers favour goals in this match with the over/under set at 2.5 with the over favoured at 1.75. The under option is priced at 2.05.
Wayne Rooney's odds to score a goal trade at 1.66 while he is at 4.33 to score two or more. He's at 15.0 to score a hat-trick and that seems to be an option that many punters are opting for.
Keep in mind that you can back England on a (-2.0) handicap at a 2.75 price. England (4.0) pays out at a 10.0 margin.
Game on- I'm backing England I think they'll do it in style!
