England to take opportunity

England in qualifiers under Gareth Southgate have been a formidable force and they have shown that again in this Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, winning all four of their games.

The Three Lions started with a 2-1 win away to Italy before a 2-0 success at home to Ukraine.

Two more wins to nil followed, with Malta and North Macedonia being seen off with a minimum of fuss and 11 goals scored.

Southgate’s men are in the box seat to top the group but will want to press home the advantage over their rivals and start to bleed some of the new talent that have come through since the World Cup.

The likes of Levi Colwill at the back, Eberechi Eze in midfield and Eddie Nketiah up front have been given opportunities in this squad, although some fans were frustrated by the continued selections of Jordan Henderson, Harry Maguire and Kalvin Phillips.

That trio’s inclusion demonstrates Southgate’s loyalty to a core group of players and it is perhaps surprising that their haven’t been more opportunities for any of the under-21 side that won the European Championships this summer.

Nevertheless, England should be able to record a fifth successive win when they face these opponents.

Both teams can land on the scoresheet

Ukraine bounced back well from the disappointment of their 2-0 defeat to England, drawing 3-3 with Germany before securing victories over North Macedonia and Malta and they currently sit second behind England in the group.

The hosts, who are playing this game in Poland, are likely to be in a straight shootout with Italy for second spot in the group and look to have a decent chance of qualifying.

More of their squad now operate in top five leagues, with Viktor Tsygankov and Artem Dovbyk both impressing at Girona in La Liga, while young central defender Illya Zabarnyi has already forced himself into the Bournemouth first team at 21.

Serhiy Rebrov’s side are progressing and play good football, they are fancied to get on the scoresheet in this matchup, although they may end up being on the losing side.

Correct score backers can consider a 3-1 win for England, with their attacking quality fancied to just be too much.

Kane enjoying new club

Harry Kane’s move from Tottenham to Bayern Munich was one of the stories of the summer but he has settled well, netting three times in three Bundesliga games.

With the pressure of the uncertainty surrounding his future off his shoulders, the England captain could flourish and he is expected to get on the scoresheet in this clash.
