Welcome back to MFT’s 10-1,000 betting challenge, where we aim for a 100x return on the original investment via a small stake betting strategy, prioritising low risk and low odds en route to a long-term target.
While this column is dedicated to high-probability tips, there is no guarantee of profit. If playing along, you should consider your own budget and confidence in the tip provided, and make your own decision whether to follow, cash out or continue at every stage. 18+, please gamble responsibly.
We will use a unit system for our stakes, allowing readers to set their own unit value that suits their own budget. For the sake of simplicity, for us, 1 unit = £1.
We will continue to transparently track our progress as far as we go on the path to 1,000, but will refresh our main tracking stake back to the starting point every time we surpass 100 units – a 10x ROI.
For the sake of consistency, all tips are placed using odds from bet365. It worth pointing out that with Bet365 we can paid out if our selection goes into a lead by two or more goals.
Sweden scored early in their game against Romania to win our bet. However, they generated 2.48 xG, 12 shots with 10 in the box with seven big chances so were unfortunate to score more than once.
Bet 6 – England vs Czechia – Tuesday 6th October at 19:45
England's attacking numbers and Czechia's defensive record make Over 1.5 England team goals a strong option at Wembley.
Thomas Tuchel's side have scored at least twice in all three Nations League matches, producing 11 goals from 9.65 xG. They opened with two against Spain, scored twice in the reverse fixture against Czechia and then produced seven in Croatia.
The Croatia performance was particularly strong. England generated 6.14 xG from 19 shots, with 10 on target and 16 coming from inside the penalty area. They created 11 big chances and recorded 48 touches in the Croatia box.
Anthony Gordon was central to that performance, producing 1.37 xG and 0.86 xA in only 70 minutes. He had five shots, put four on target and created four chances. Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka both scored twice.
Czechia's numbers point in the opposite direction. They have lost all three Nations League matches, conceding twice against Croatia, twice against England and three times against Spain. That means every opponent has cleared this line.
Across those matches, Czechia have allowed 5.31 xGA while generating only 1.73 xG themselves.
The reverse meeting offers further evidence. England won 2-0 in Prague, meaning this bet landed despite Tuchel's side generating only 1.48 xG.
England have since produced their best attacking performance of the campaign, while Czechia arrive at Wembley without suspended defender Ladislav Krejci.
