ENGLAND VS HUNGARY FRIENDLY MATCH BETTING PREVIEW AND LATEST TIPS
Fabio Capello's men look to exercise the ghosts of World Cup 2010 as they take on Hungary at Wembley in a friendly match ahead of the Euro 2012 qualifying, which kicks off sooner than you might think. It should be an interesting fixture and it might be a difficult one to wager on as I can see a lot of the bigger name players being rested as the Premier League season kicks off this weekend.
The match kicks off at 20:00 UK Time.
Manchester United's Ben Foster has pulled out of the squad with injury, prompting Capello to call up Scott Loach and Frankie Fielding.
Top English bookmaker William Hill is pricing Wayne Rooney & Co. at a slim 2/7 price to win the match outright. The draw is available at a 4/1 price tag while Hungary are listed at 10/1 to pull off a dramatic upset. The issue for Hungary is simply a lack of genuine quality, aside from Zoltan Gera can you seriously name one Hungarian player?
The favoured correct score option looks to be a 2-0 victory to England at an 11/2 price tag while England 1-0 pays out at a 6/1 listing. 3-0 rewards at 7/1 while 4-0 pays out at 12/1.
OPTA Sportsdata confirms that the last fixture between these teams finished up as a 3-1 result with Gerrard, Terry and Crouch notching the goals. A 3-1 victory for England pays out at 11/1.
Wayne Rooney is the favoured anytime goalscorer, but he hasn't exactly looked in 100% form during the start of the season and he may need a little longer to get going. You can back him at an 8/11 price tag to score a goal at anytime while he is 3/1 to score first or last. He is also priced at 3/1 to get two or more and he's 16/1 to get a hat-trick, but I don't think he will be on the pitch long enough to get one.
Jermain Defoe is listed at 10/11 to score anytime while Darren Bent and Gabriel Agbonlahor are both listed at even money. Bobby Zamora has been called up with Carlton Cole and they are both listed at 6/5. Peter Crouch is priced at 5/4 with Frank Lampard and Theo Walcott available to be backed at 6/4.
Jack Wilshere is definitely one to keep your eye on and Capello may be looking to give him a run out here. You can back him at a 4/1 price anytime and he's 11/1 to score first or last.
Tamas Priskin is the favoured Hungarian striker with a 4/1 anytime price while Gergely Rudolf and Zoltan Gera can both be backed at 5/1.
The over/under on goals looks to be 2.5 with the over getting the edge. You'll find that priced at 4/6 while the under is trading at 11/10.
