Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson backs England to respond.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Harry Kane to score anytime | 13/20 (Spreadex) | Harry Kane remains England’s most reliable source of goals and found the net in the 2-3 defeat to Spain despite also missing a penalty. The captain has seven goals in his last six appearances and already has three La Liga goals this season. Czechia, beaten 1-2 by Croatia in Santi Denia’s first competitive game in charge, are missing a chunk of their back line, with Zima, Jurasek, Rynes, Vlcek and Krejci all unavailable. Against a makeshift defence in Prague, England’s talisman looks a strong bet to score again at 13/20 with Spreadex. |
| Jude Bellingham to score, 2+ shots on target and 2+ fouls | 11/2 (Spreadex) | Jude Bellingham has been in sensational form, scoring seven goals in his last nine England games, and he offers far more than just goals. He averages 1.9 shots on target and 3.7 foul involvements a game, so a bet builder pairing him to score, to have two or more shots on target and to be involved in two or more fouls captures his all-action style. With Czechia weakened at the back and England chasing a response after losing to Spain, Bellingham should be heavily involved, and 11/2 is a generous price for the combination. |

How Czechia go into the game
Czechia lost 1-2 at home to Croatia on the opening matchday, Karabec on target, in a new era under their first foreign coach Santi Denia.
Prague is where England’s decade-long unbeaten qualifying run ended in 2019, so the hosts will fancy causing an upset.
How England go into the game
England threw away a lead to lose 2-3 to Spain at Wembley, Harry Kane scoring but missing a penalty.
Thomas Tuchel’s side finished third at the World Cup and remain the strongest team in the group by some distance.
