England v Scotland predictions and betting tips

England v Scotland is a classic in football, and this should be yet another display of what the UK football scene has to offer at its highest level. Read on for predictions and free betting tips.

England Squad

Goalkeepers: Ben Foster, Joe Hart, John Ruddy

Defenders: Leighton Baines, Gary Cahill, Ashley Cole, Phil Jagielka, Glen Johnson, Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Kyle Walker

Midfielders: Michael Carrick, Tom Cleverley, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Jack Wilshere, James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Theo Walcott, Wilfried Zaha

Strikers: Jermain Defoe, Rickie Lambert, Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck

No real surprises here to be honest. It will be interesting to see if Roy Hodgson will play Wayne Rooney even if he is in the midst of a transfer drama over at Old Trafford. To me this side looks really compact and solid, but as usual the offensive options are a bit limited for England.

Scotland squad

Goalkeepers: Matt Gilks, David Marshall, Allan McGregor

Defenders: Gordon Greer, Steven Hammell, Grant Hanley, Alan Hutton, Russell Martin, Charlie Mulgrew, Andy Webster, Steven Whittaker

Midfielders: Charlie Adam, Barry Bannan, George Boyd, Chris Burke, Scott Brown, Craig Conway, Graham Dorrans, James Forrest, Gary Mackay-Steven, Shaun Maloney, James McArthur, James Morrison, Robert Snodgrass

Forwards: Leigh Griffiths, Steven Naismith, Kenny Miller, Jordan Rhodes

Except Darren Fletcher and perhaps Gary Caldwell this looks like the strongest squad that Scotland can field at the minute. Obviously England has the better squad, but Scotland isn't that far behind and can create trouble for the home side on their day.

England v Scotland Form

England is now unbeaten in five matches, but the last three have all been draws. Scotland is 3-0-2 in their last five. Scotland isn’t really the strongest of away sides, but the 1-0 away win to Croatia in World Cup Qualification in June shows you can’t write off this team.

England – Scotland betting tips for 1x2

England is a massive favorite at 1.40 (2/5). I think that price is useless. Sure, England is the favorite, but in a heated derby like this. Especially just before the English Premier League kicks off such a price is just laughable. Premiership managers will be very concerned with the management messing with their preseason preparations. Also, it’s not long ago Ireland got a 1-1 draw against the Three Lions. Scotland is pretty much at the same level as Ireland. Obviously the draw at 4.50 (7/2) looks over priced. That has to be my betting tips for the 1x2.

England v Scotland betting tips for Asian Handicap

England is a great side on their day, but victories of two goals plus is rare for them even at home. Bar a 5-0 win against San Marino fifteen games have passed since Bulgaria was beat 4-0 at Wembley. Add to this the definite derby atmosphere ensuring a combative game 1.675 for Scotland +1.5 looks really good. That betting tips is pretty automatic, and I am going in heavily on it myself.

England v Scotland betting tips for Total Goals

Normally I would rate this 50-50. However, since:

1.       It looks like a very combative derby game, as well as;

2.       Being late preseason for many of the players and;

3.       Both sides have very organized and solid defenses

I think the Under 2.5 must be the favorite.  BET365 has priced the Under 2.5 at 1.90 (9/10). I think that represents value.
