England to win & Under 3.5 goals<\/strong><\/td>\n5\/4 @ BetMGM <\/a>
(44.4%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nOnly two of Latvia\u2019s last 17 fixtures have produced more than 3.5 goals, and it\u2019s tough to see them troubling the scoreboard against England. Latvia have lost each of their last 14 matches versus teams ranked inside FIFA\u2019s top 10, including England, who are currently fourth, by a combined score of 41-1, which says plenty about the gulf in class. This isn\u2019t likely to turn into a goal-fest, but Thomas Tuche’s side should have more than enough to handle a deep-lying Latvian defence with a composed, businesslike display..<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Declan Rice to Score<\/strong><\/td>\n7\/2 @ BetMGM<\/a>
(22.2%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWhile most of England\u2019s forwards are heavily favoured in the anytime scorer market, Declan Rice at 7\/2 offers more appealing value. The midfielder has netted three times in his last 11 appearances for the national team and is likely to be given freedom to push forward, creating opportunities to strike from distance.\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n
