WALES
Wales are yet to get the most out of their key players such as Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey. Gareth Bale tucked away the crucial penalty against the USA, but apart from that, he wasn’t as involved in the game against Iran as Rob Page would have hoped. The two nations have a rivalry amongst them as they prepare for the contest.
Will the big names in the Welsh side rise to the occasion against their neightbouring counterparts? They will dearly love to win against England but they start as outsiders in this game.
Wales are priced at 14/1 (15.00) to win the game with a correct score of 1-0 with Wales to score first in the game at 17/6 (3.85).
ENGLAND
England have stuttered in the game against the USA with most of the critics suggesting that Gareth Southgate lack of desire to be progressive costed them the match victory. Some of the changes were not timed correctly and the personnel picked to start were scrutinised. This has been the trend even before the tournament has started.
Despite all the criticisms surrounding the coach and his decisions, the players who take to the field need to step up their game and grind out the result. England striker Harry Kane does not seem to be at the races after picking up a knock in the first game against Iran. It will surely be interesting to see who is picked to start for England and how they manage the game throughout.
England are priced to score first at 7/20 (1.35) whilst Bukayo Saka anytime goalscorer is at 14/5 (3.80).
Match betting odds
Having the upper hand in the game are England at 5/11 (1.46), whilst a shock win from Wales is at 7/1 (8.00) and a draw at 17/5 (4.40)
