England Vs Australia Betting Tips

England welcome Australia to Wembley for just the eighth meeting between the two sides, who share a great rivalry in other sports but rarely cross paths in the footballing world.

Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions will have one eye on Tuesday’s crucial Euro 2024 qualifier against Italy, and will be looking to dispatch of the Socceroos with relative ease.

Australia have beaten England just once in their history and, with the hosts looking to build confidence ahead of their meeting with the Azzurri, that record may not change in London.

Over 2.5 England goals @ 21/20

England will be looking to land a statement victory ahead of next week's clash with European champions Italy and may have a chance to do so against Australia.

The Three Lions should dominate proceedings at Wembley, as they have done in every fixture since their quarter-final defeat to France at last year’s World Cup in Qatar.

In their six matches since bowing out of the tournament, Southgate’s men have conceded just two shots on target, suggesting that most of the action on Friday night will be in Australia’s third.

Premier League stars such as Jarrod Bowen, Ollie Watkins and James Maddison may get an opportunity to impress Southgate as they look to book a place on the plane for next summer’s Euro 2024 finals in Germany.

The trio have been in top form this term, netting 11 Premier League goals between them, and their combined firepower could ensure England net three or more in a win over the Aussies.

Ollie Watkins to score @ 6/5

Watkins has been in fine form for Aston Villa this season, scoring four goals in eight league matches, and looks set to lead the line against the Socceroos on Friday.

The Villans talisman has scored twice in just 138 minutes for England and could add to his total against the Aussies, who have conceded six times in their last three matches.

Australia's centre-back pairing of Harry Souttar and Cameron Burgess, who both ply their trade in the Championship, may struggle to cope with the pace of Watkins, who looks a solid bet to find the back of the net at Wembley.

James Maddison to register an assist @ 27/10

Former Leicester star Maddison has been near unplayable since moving to Tottenham in the summer, and he tops the Premier League assist charts with five.

He has previously found international minutes hard to come by, making just four appearances for his country, but his excellent performances for Tottenham mean he will likely get his chance to show his talent against the Socceroos.

Maddison will be eager to make an impact and force his way into Southgate’s plans for the Italy game and beyond, and his creative spark could prove vital against a weak Australia at Wembley.

Quotes of 27/10 about the Spurs man laying on a goal make plenty of appeal.
