England vs Switzerland Euro 2016 Qualifier Pt 1

England put in a disappointing shift at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and they will be looking to get things back on track as they get their Euro qualification campaign kicked off in earnest as they face Switzerland away on Monday. There is plenty to like about this fixture and new captain Wayne Rooney no longer has any excuses as the English talisman will be expected to lead the line and pull England out of the doldrums and into a brand new era of footballing excellence under Roy Hodgson.

The bookmakers are less than confident about England’s chances here against a Swiss side that is always a bit tricky to play against. England will likely need to score first in order to make a real statement here and, though a 0-0 draw wouldn’t be the end of the world, it would certainly heap an additional amount of pressure on Roy Hodgson. 

As it currently stands the bookmakers have floated Switzerland as the 17/10 favourites to win the match in front of their home fans while England are just a notch behind them at a 19/10 margin. 

Look for the draw at a competitive price of 11/5. That’s going to be a pretty popular betting option for the neutral punters, no doubt. 

Switzerland’s Josip Drmic is the betting favourite to emerge as top goalscorer in this match and he’s a very interesting 9/4 shout to score a goal at any point in the match. He is a 6/1 shout to score first or last and that’s not a bad wager if you think things will go as the bookmakers predict.
