Owen in for Euro 2008 feast against Estonia

England's well-documented injury problems will not prevent them from easing to a comfortable win over Estonia on Saturday in the Euro 2008 qualifier. John Terry is the latest to withdraw but the captain's absence will not affect the outcome, which will be a comfortable win for Steve McLaren's men at Wembley. Even an England third team would have no problem dispatching the Eastern Europeans in the Euro 2008 qualifier, whose only win has come against Andorra this campaign, which would explain why the home side are 1/20 to win. Emile Heskey, Dean Ashton and Andy Johnson are all out but a fit-again Michael Owen will be rubbing his hands at the prospect of adding to his 40 international football goals. Estonia are not without injury concerns of their own with goalkeeper Mart Poom expected to play in spite of a back problem which should only help Owen, who has made a miraculous recovery from last week's hernia operation, to edge closer to Sir Bobby Charlton's 49-goal record. With Gareth Barry expected to keep his place in the side ahead of Frank Lampard England will not be short on goalscoring chances and with Wayne Rooney back among the goals for Manchester United, Wembley should provide a feast of goals for this Euro 2008 qualifier. Sportingbet have a 4-0 win to England priced at 5/1, which makes for great appeal, but with Paul Robinson playing like a schoolboy, the home side might even concede, making 4-1 an intriguing 18/1 shot. We can be virtually certain that there will be over 3.5 goals in the match so 11/10 makes for sound judgment. Michael Owen, who has scored four goals in his last three internationals, is 11/4 to score first, as he did in his last match against Russia, also in this Euro 2008 campaign, and the 4-1 scorecast is a mortgage saving 125-1. Verdict: 3pts over 3.5 goals @ 11/10 (Sportingbet); 0.5pt England to win 4-0 @ 5/1 (Sportingbet); 0.5pt England to win 4-1 @ 18/1 (Sportingbet); 2pts Owen to score first @ 3/1 (General) 0.5pt Owen to score first in 4-1 win @ 125/1 (Sportingbet) (Editor's Note: Michael Owen has been the subject of debate about whether he produces his best form for England rather than his club side. He can close in on the goalscoring record against Estonia in the Euro 2008 qualifier. For all the latest football prices go to SportingBet!)
