After delivering a second successive clean sweep on Thursday, SlipsTips shares his favourite fancy ahead of Scotland's Auld Enemy showdown with England at Wembley on Friday night.

England vs Scotland (Friday, 20:00)

Football's oldest rivalry will be renewed once more when England welcome Scotland to Wembley on Friday night.

Gareth Southgate's side hit the ground running in Group D with a relatively comfortable 1-0 success over Croatia on Sunday, on an afternoon where my recommended Bet Builder banked.

Scotland, on the other hand, were given a baptism of fire upon their return to a major tournament, falling to a damaging 2-0 defeat against the Czech Republic.

That means Steve Clarke's Scots are playing catch-up already and they can ill-afford another setback in Friday nights Auld Enemy showdown with England.

England are a general 3/10 with most bookies to bank another three points and seal their passage to the knockout stages with a game to spare.

Indeed, the Tartan Army will be up against the odds under the Wembley arch, but the Scots are priced up at 19/20 with Betway to hit three or more corners during this dust-up and that price makes appeal.

Granted, star-studded England are expected to dominate possession for long stages in this match, but Scotland played better than their 2-0 defeat to the Czech Republic suggests.

Clarke's preferred system focuses on width from his wing-backs and three or more flag kicks doesn't look like too much to ask of a team who are running out of time in their pursuit of progressing to the last-16.

The Scots racked up six corners against the Czech Republic last time out, not to mention they have hit three or more flag kicks in seven of their last nine competitive contests.

What's more, Scotland could well find themselves chasing the game at Wembley and that only adds to the appeal of siding with three or more Scotland corners at a value 19/20 with Betway.
