_10.jpg)
After an emphatic performance in front of the home fans against Bulgaria, Fabio Capello's English side look to build up even more momentum as they face a more challenging fixture against Switzerland on Tuesday.
England are considered to be the odds-on favourites to win this match, with popular bookmaker William Hill pricing them at 8/11 for the outright victory. Switzerland are listed at 10/3 and I reckon their supporters will be persuaded to have a bet on their side at that price.
The draw is listed at 11/5 but I reckon England will either win this comfortably or blow it spectacularly. I don't see much middle ground here.
Switzerland boast some quality players and can be a frustrating side to chase a game against. The first goal will be crucial for England.
The favoured correct scoreline is a 1-0 win for England which trades at 11/2. A 1-1 result is a 6/1 price while England to win 2-0 or 2-1 rewards at 15/2. Switzerland to win 1-0 can be backed at 9/1 while a 2-1 win pays out at 14/1.
Nice paydays await anybody who sees a few goals happening here as the over/under is set at 2.5 and the over is paying out at 23/20. That's a nice bet on a side that just scored four goals. Under 2.5 is listed at 13/20.
England to win the opening 15 minutes is trading at an enticing 9/2, so if you think Jermain Defoe will hit the ground running here, you can back that at 9/2.
Speaking of Defoe, he's listed at 5/4 to score anytime and 5/1 to score first or last. He's 6/1 to grab two or more and you can also back him for a hat-trick at a solid 33/1.
Wayne Rooney remains the favoured goalscorer here and he's listed at even money to score anytime and 4/1 to open or close the scoring. He's 25/1 to post a hat-trick and 9/2 to grab a pair of goals.
Adam Johnson should get a longer run out after opening his account on Friday. He's priced at 7/2 to score anytime and 10/1 to score first or last.
