England World Cup Qualifier Betting Preview PT 2

The real value in a match like this one is backing England players to score either the first goal or a goal at any time. One of the best parts about matches like this is that players who aren’t traditionally viewed as a top goalscorer in the mould of Harry Kane or Marcus Rashford, will be more likely to step up and have a pop from distance or get forward into further attacking positions.

Harry Kane ie the betting favourite to score the opening goal in the match and he’s priced around 15/8 to do so. Dominic Calvert-Lewis can be backed around a 9/5 price tag while Marcus Rashford sits around a 7/2 margin to open the scoring against San Marino. 

In-form Jesse Lingard is worth keeping your eye on for the first goal if he’s listed in the starting lineup (which many of us expect him to be). He’s priced around 5/1 to score the first goal. Luke Shaw is another player who has been in a cracking run of form and he’s a hefty 25/1 to score the first goal in this match. If you see him in the starting lineup then he could be a dangerous option for first goalscorer. 

Raheem Sterling is a 10/3 price and will probably attract some attention as this is the type of match where you could see him notching a hat-trick if he plays the entire 90 minutes. 

A Raheem Sterling hat-trick rewards at a mere 9/2 best price so he’s almost as short a price to score the opener as he is to score three goals. Several bookmakers actually have Harry Kane listed at odds-on to score a hat-trick with a price of 20/21 but he’s likely to come off at half-time even if he starts the match at all.
