ENGLAND VS BELARUS WORLD CUP QUALIFYING ODDS AND BETTING TIPS

We're just a few hours away from kick-off for the final World Cup Qualifier of the season for Fabio Capello's England. This will also be the last time you see the English lads before they take on Brazil in what will be anything but a friendly on November 14th. I'm predicting that one to be a real grudge match, and with a fit Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard, I will likely fancy England to get it done against the Samba Boys. Top UK bookmaker William Hill has listed England as the 1/6 favourites to take the win here against the Belarusians. The Eastern European side can be backed at 16/1 to get the result and you can also back the draw at 11/2. The favoured correct score seems to be a 2-0 victory for England at 9/2 which, lets all admit, is a bit of a tame score line. England will need to put up a big total to get a generous pay-off and with a new strike partnership set to take the field, you're taking the risk on whether we'll see a goal bonanza or not. The correct score market really comes to whether you think Peter Crouch and Gabriel Agbonlahor are a complimentary tandem who can hit the back of the net against mediocre opposition. England to win both halves pays out at 4/9 while Draw/England garners a 10/3 price. I genuinely don't see this going to half-time at 0-0 and conveniently, William Hill has an exciting promo for this fixture. If you wager £20 on the 1st half total goals market you'll get a free £5 bet on the in-play correct score market. Peter Crouch and Carlton Cole are the favoured goalscorers for England with a 4/1 price as first or last goalscorer and they are also available at evens for an anytime goal. Emile Heskey is at 9/2 first or last and 6/5 anytime. Gabriel Agbonlahor and Frank Lampard are both at 5/4 anytime and 5/1 first or last. Aaron Lennon is well-priced at 10/1 first or last and 7/2 anytime- the same price as David Beckham and James Milner. I'm going to be backing England (-2.0) at 6/5. I'm also backing the Eastern European defence to make a mistake and concede an own goal. I will be backing "Yes" to an anytime own goal at 11/2. I will also be backing a penalty to be awarded and scored at 3/1.
