Switzerland v England Betting Preview

England got their Euor2012 qualification campaign off to the perfect start at Wembley on Friday night with an emphatic 4-0 win over Bulgaria. In doing so they eased the pressure on manager Fabio Capello and rather picked up where they left off in their World Cup 2010 qualifying campaign.

Now comes the acid test in what is arguably an otherwise easy group from which England should expect to qualify from comfortably. Switzerland are by far and large England’s biggest threat to Euro 2012 qualification as they proved at the World Cup when beating Spain in their opening game of the tournament.

England also have to contend with the sideshow of Wayne Rooney’s private life after he became the victim of newspaper reports on Sunday regarding his private life. Bet365 go 9/2 that he responds by opening the scoring in tonight’s game.

This will be Switzerland’s first game of their qualifying game and so there will be a hope amongst the England camp that they can catch them cold. Odds of 10/11 are available on England making it two wins out of two whilst Switzerland are 3/1 and the draw is 12/5.

The bet of the night though has to be Under 2.5 goals at odds of 8/13. The Swiss are a defence-first type of team and an average of 0.66 goals per game in South Africa is testament to that.
