Despite it being a friendly (which can be tricky to wager on at times) you can expect both sides to be playing for pride in this one and England will likely be the hungrier of the two. 

There’s a lot to like about the way that England have been playing as of late and there’s a substantial amount of firepower that they will be bringing into this contest. Much will depend on how Belgium’s midfield can control the game and if England’s back line can keep their forwards quiet then there is every chance for England to get the victory here. 

As it currently stands, you’ll find that Belgium trade around an 11/8 price tag for the outright victory here while England are trading around 2/1. You’ll be able to get a pretty good gauge on how things will shape up based on how the odds fluctuate a little bit before kick-off once the team sheets are named. 

The draw trades at a best price of 12/5 and there’s a lot of possibility that it could wind up being the final result - a 1-1 draw is considered to be the lowest-priced correct scoreline. 

The bookmakers seem to think that Romelu Lukaku is the most likely player to open the scoring here and you’ll find him available around a 9/2 price tag to notch the first goal. England’s Harry Kane is expected to start the match and he’s priced around a 5/1 margin to grab the first goal.
