23 June ~ Paddy Power’s James Ellis examines the odds on England’s game today

England are a backable 4/9 to win this match and seal a spot in the last 16 – anything other than that and it’s out of their hands. Paddy Power have taken more money on England but more bets on Slovenia at 7/1 – people are willing to part with more money on the Three Lions while the smaller-staking bets on Slovenia are from the value hunters and people from Scotland.

4/9 England Win
3/1 Draw
7/1 Slovenia Win
 
England have a habit of making things difficult for themselves but eventually overcoming the odds. Wayne Rooney has been too quiet so far this World Cup but how long can this last after the season he’s had? He leads the first scorer market as a 7/2 chance or even money to score at any time. Or will the introduction of Joe Cole into the side provide a spark – he’s scored in previous World Cups so will attract support at 9/1 to open the scoring this afternoon.

7/2 Rooney
5/1 Defoe
11/2 Crouch

15/2 Gerrard

The World Cup goals have finally started to flow and England will have to add to that solitary Steven Gerrard effort if they are to progress. A repeat of the 2-1 Wembley win would pay 7/1 and be enough to send England into the next round. Despite the lacklustre effort in front of goal there’s a chance they could bounce back in style and make countries take notice – don’t be surprised if England win 3-0 which is 9/1 with Paddy Power.
