The late game at 21:00 CET between Ukraine and England goes down on Stadio Olimpico in Rome and the clash features an english team yet to concede a goal and Ukraine, that has not really been impressive in one single game so far.
England are in 20th place in chances created this tournament and that is pretty embarrassing to be honest, but their defense has been rock solid. Ukraine on the other hand seem to be good on the counters, but defensively they look pretty weak.
This is something I think England can exploit and they really have two players with great form – Jack Grealish and Raheem Sterling. Both expected to start for Gareth Southgate here. However, it is probably best to place these two bets when the starting elevens are confirmed.
I think the chances of Sterling scoring a goal and Grealish picking up an assist are pretty big here. Sterling is England’s topscorer so far with three goals and Jack Grealish has a couple of assists coming off the bench. Odds are super high on both these things to occur and you only need one to hit in order to make a profit.
The two bets for England–Ukraine will be:
- Raheem Sterling To Score A Goal @ odds 2.85 on Expekt.
- Jack Grealish To Get An Assist @ odds 3.75 on Expekt.
Pressure is high on Southgate to give Jack a start and even though it has not been confirmed, SkySports says the chances are very big he gets in the eleven here. To get almost 4x the money on him getting an assist is ridiculously high.
Five reasons why I like these bets:
- Sterling is top scorer and will get chances today
- Grealish have been fantastic coming of the bench
- Ukraine are weak defensively
- Both players are in form
- I expect a more offensive England here
Sterling Goal @ 2.85 on Expekt.
Grealish Assist @ 3.75 on Expekt.
