GARETH SOUTHGATE has the chance to experiment at Wembley tonight with England’s place at Euro 2024 already in the bag.
Whipping boys Malta have lost all seven games in Group C so Southgate has the ideal opportunity to try out a few things.
It ended 4-0 to the Three Lions when these sides faced off on Maltese soil and McBookie make England 1/66 hot favourites, with the minnows a whopping 50/1.
You have to go to -4 in the handicap to get above evens so it’s best steering clear of that market and going for scorers instead.
Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher looks good value at 11/4 (Coral) while Manchester City winger Jack Grealish is 8/5 (Paddy Power).
Malta have only scored twice in the whole group but I like the evens on offer at Unibet for them just to have a shot on target at Wembley.
Northern Ireland’s Euro hopes are over after losing six of their eight games in Group H.
Tonight, they face a Finland side warming up for the play-offs and the home win in Helsinki looks good value at 20/21 with William Hill.
It ended 1-0 to the Finns in Belfast but this match could be a bit more open with nothing to play for.
Over 2.5 goals is 11/8 at Betfair and that could be worth a punt if both managers decide to give some fringe players a chance.
In the same group there’s a cracker in Copenhagen as Denmark bid to knock Slovenia off the summit.
I can see it being tight and McBookie price a one-goal winning margin for either side at 6/4.
- Super singles: Grealish anytime scorer (8/5, P Power). Finland to win (20/21, McBookie)
- McBookie bet builder: Combining BTTS and over 2.5 goals in Denmark pays 170/100.
