England vs Wales Predictions

• Three of Wales’ last four away games have gone under 2.5 goals.
• Harry Kane has scored 19 goals in 12 games for club and country this season.

Kane to make the difference

Thomas Tuchel has made the bold decision to drop some high-profile players for his latest England squad, and that decision may pay off in what could be a tight affair with Wales.

The Three Lions maintained their perfect start to the World Cup qualifying campaign with a 5-0 drubbing of Serbia last month but, despite that result, the goals have not flowed freely under the German manager.

Wales fell to their second defeat in three games as they were beaten 1-0 by Canada in September, and Craig Bellamy’s side have also found goals hard to come by at times.

Three of the Dragons’ last four away games have featured fewer than three goals and, with England only scoring three goals in their last two home games against Andorra and Senegal, backing under 2.5 goals appeals.

Tuchel’s men should have won their last seven meetings with Wales and have kept clean sheets in six of them. Two have ended 1-0, and a repeat of the 1-0 reverse Wales suffered against Canada may be on the cards.

Harry Kane’s sensational season continued at the weekend with a goal against Eintracht Frankfurt, taking his tally to 19 goals for club and country this season. He has scored at least once in seven successive games and looks the best option for anytime goalscorer punters.
