England vs Ukraine World Cup Qualifier Part 1

The English side travel to Kiev for a vital World Cup Qualifier after going top of the group against Moldova late last week. There is a lot to like about this match up and the bookmakers seem to think this one is going straight down the middle. There is, apparently, little to separate between the sides and this one could be played with some real tenacity as both teams will want to get the victory.

Away trips to Ukraine are always tricky affairs, even at club level, and you have to appreciate that the English side is rather young and they will be looking for an early goal to help steady the ship. 

Expect the Ukrainian fans to be out in full voice as they are chasing a Group H qualification as well and it would be a real disappointment to that proud footballing nation if they were to miss out on Brazil 2014. 

There are a number of interesting subplots coming into this one and, obviously, Danny Welbeck’s soft yellow card in the last match has seen him get ruled out for this one - much to the chagrin of Roy Hodgson. The Manchester United striker has been in much better form in front of goal so far this season and he would have offered a real physical threat in and around the box. 

Rickie Lambert, playing non-league football just a few years ago while working in a warehouse, will be looking for his third England goal on the bounce in just his third appearance for his country. 

It isn’t often you find all three options in the 1X2 betting priced at the exact same listing but you will find a 19/10 price on Ukraine to win, England to win or the draw.
