Match Betting (1x2)
England’s final Euro 2020 qualifying match takes place at the Fadil Vokrri Stadium in Pristina, with the Three Lions likely to have done enough to make the Euro 2020 finals after playing Montenegro three days earlier.
Gareth Southgate’s side came into the international break having won five of their six games played and that included a crazy 5-3 win over Kosovo which saw the visitors take the lead at Wembley Stadium.
Amazingly, England then rallied to take a 5-1 lead going into half-time, although the visitors were able to score twice more in the second half and perhaps we should expect them to attack hard in this clash.
After all, second place in the group is likely to be up for grabs depending on the first round of Group A games, with the Kosovars actually travelling to Prague for a crunch match a few days earlier.
If the home side have something to play for and England don’t, we should expect the odds about a Kosovo to contract and it’s possible that Southgate will field an experimental line-up on the basis that his team have already qualified.
Nevertheless, the manager will want to be fair on the Czechs who are also eager to qualify for the Euro 2020 finals and we can therefore expect England to be competitive and in the mood to score more goals.
First Goalscorer
Harry Kane nearly always leads the England team out although it’s plausible that Tottenham Hotspur will request that their captain is wrapped in cotton wool ahead of this contest.
Manchester City might lodge a similar appeal on behalf of Raheem Sterling although this could be an opportunity for Tammy Abraham to get a run-out for his country, while Callum Wilson will also hope to get some precious game minutes.
Vedat Muqiri is the leading scorer for Kosovo in qualifying, with the attacking player having notched four goals already although it was Valon Berisha who scored a brace at Wembley and he could be an interesting option.
Asian Handicap
This could be an interesting market if Kosovo are determined to get something out of the game and it’s possible that the home side might only need a draw against England to reach the Euro 2020 finals.
It would be momentous for this nation if they were able to qualify and it might be possible to get a big price about them with a +0.5 goal handicap on the Asian Handicap market which would mean the avoidance of defeat would see you make a profit.
Alternatively, England might be capable of running riot and you could potentially get the Three Lions at something like -1.5 at a big price which would mean a victory by two goals or more would see the visitors profit for you.
Both Teams to Score
If you have placed a bet on the “Yes” option on the Both Teams to Score market when these teams met at Wembley, you would have made a profit with your bet within minutes of the game kicking off.
Many customers will be looking to pursue a similar option this time around and it was noticeable that England look anything but watertight when losing 2-1 in Prague although they did shut out Bulgaria.
Over / Under Goals
A similar betting market is betting on Over or Under a certain number of goals and the line is usually set at 2.5 although there’s nothing to stop you going for a higher or lower amount. Indeed Over 7.5 Goals would have profited at a mammoth price last time out.
