Our Panama vs England bet builder tips take centre stage on Saturday evening, as the Three Lions conclude their World Cup Group L campaign. Kick-off is set for 10:00pm (UK Time) in New Jersey and below you can find our selections for the game.
The last time these two teams met, England came out 6-1 winners at the 2018 World Cup. John Stones bagged a brace that day, along with Harry Kane netting a hat-trick and it’s two goalscorers we like the look of Saturday’s contest. At the time of writing, combining the pair pays 21/1 with Sky Bet.
Bellingham can strike once again
Harry Kane is the obvious pick to score for England, and the Bayern Munich striker is always a major threat in front of goal. However, Jude Bellingham offers stronger value in this matchup given his attacking influence from midfield.
Furthermore, Bellingham has already scored at the tournament and remains one of England’s main creative and goal threats. In addition, even with potential changes elsewhere due to injury doubts, he is expected to start. England are likely to control possession, which gives him a strong chance of adding to his tally.
Stick with set-pieces
Ezri Konsa struggled to make an impact against Ghana, with England’s set-piece delivery failing to give him any real opportunities in attacking areas. That lack of service kept him quiet throughout the match.
However, the Aston Villa defender remains a regular threat from set pieces. Furthermore, he should benefit from Bukayo Saka’s likely return to the starting XI. Konsa averages close to one shot per game under Thomas Tuchel and has already gone close against Croatia. Combining him and Bellingham to score takes us just north of 21/1 via the Sky Bet bet builder.
