England vs Spain - Betting Preview

11th February, 2009

The England team travelled to Seville earlier this week to prepare for their international friendly against European Champions Spain. Fabio Cappello will be looking to continue his excellent run of results after beating Croatia and Germany late last year.

This will undoubtedly be an exciting and competitive fixture, with both sides keen to get their 2009 campaigns off to a good start.

The Markets for the final result (w/d/l) aren't great so we suggest you bet on more specific outcomes with better odds. Here's a look at some, that may interest punters:

First to Score - Who will hit the back of the net first?

  • David Villa 11/2 with Bet 365.
  • Fernando Torres 5/1 with Bet 24.
  • Carlton Cole 10/1 Ladbrokes

Our Tip:

There's a good chance West Ham's Carlton Cole will start tonight and considering his current form 10/1 isn't a bad shout.

Correct Score - Good odds and always make the end result even more important!

  • Spain to Win 1-0 5/1 with Paddy Power
  • Spain to Win 2-0 5/1 with Ladbrokes
  • England 1-0 7/1 Bet 365
  • England to win 2-0 9/1 with Canbet
  • Draw 0-0 6/1 with Coral

Our Tip:

1-0 England to win. Tight game but England will nick it late on! Cappello doesn't know the meaning of a friendly and will continue his great run of results.

First Goal Method: Corner, Pen, Free Kick or Open Play? Bluesquare Bet odds

  • Direct from Free Kick or Corner - 16/1
  • Header 4/1
  • Own Goal - 25/1
  • Penalty - 10/1

Our Tip:

Header 4/1. With Cole or Heskey likely to start, England will be looking to get the ball wide and deliver crosses for the two tall strikers.

It promises to be a fantastic game and will be watched by millions. Make sure you place those bets now and look for the best odds available! Check out our online odds comparison services for more betting markets.
