ENGLAND will be hoping there’s no Euro 2020 hangover when they return to action in Hungary tonight.
Gareth Southgate’s men are playing for the first time since that heartbreaking shoot-out loss to Italy at Wembley.
They have a perfect record so far in the World Cup qualifiers but this clash in Budapest is one of the biggest hurdles on the road to Qatar.
Hungary held France and Germany in the Euro finals and also battled out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Poland in their first World Cup qualifier.
They scored in all those games so I fancy both teams to score tonight at 16/11 with SportNation, even though England have been mean in defence.
Over 2.5 goals has come up in five of the six World Cup qualifiers these sides have played so far. It’s priced 21/20 at McBookie here and that looks good value.
The passionate home crowd gave Hungary a huge lift at the Euros and I’d expect the home side to start on the front foot in a bid to catch England cold.
So it could pay to back Hungary to win the first corner, which pays 29/20 at McBookie.
Harry Kane should start after scoring twice in his last Spurs outing and the England striker is evens at Unibet for anytime scorer.
Northern Ireland face a tough game away to Lithuania and have found goals hard to come by, drawing a blank in two of their last three games.
I fancy a tight game but under 2.5 goals is just 4/7 (SportNation) and you have to back under 1.5 goals to find value at 31/18 with SBK.
