EUROPE: World Cup - Qualification
England - Scotland over 2.5 Ft 3-0
England disappointed once again, that curse on major tournaments seems that just can't stop following them, after were struggling to reach knockout stage on previous Euro in France during last summer they were eliminated in 1/8 finals by biggest surprise on tournament Iceland. That was their only defeat in last ten games and they for sure have one of the strongest national teams in the World, placement on World Cup shouldn't be a problem to win, they are strongest team in this group and currently are at leading position where should be able to stay until the end of qualifications, in previous qualifiers for Euro achieved ten victories in ten rounds, scored 31 goal and conceded only three, i'm pretty sure that will manage to achieve similar results in this one. After three rounds in group F they collected seven points, in first two rounds celebrated over Malta and Slovakia while most recently in last round about a month ago earned one point after goalless draw on their travel to Slovenia, in that match showed some pretty poor performances and draw was fair outcome in the end, they must show more, three goals in three rounds against not so strong teams don't seems so convincing and they must show improving in order to achieve some great results on World Cup, however there is still time for that, now in 4th round will host Scotland and must go for another victory. In last two meetings with Scotland achieved two victories and i believe that this time will be the same, England have strong team and just must try to find the right form, new coach Sam Allardyce replaced Roy Hodgson and he will be under pressure for sure, good results are something what everybody are hungry for, tonight are facing with decent side and it won't be easy, they must show some better performances than in last game but i believe that will manage to collect all three points. As for absent players only defender Daniel Drinkwater will stay out of action for this match. Scotland missed European Championship which was held in France this year, they didn't impressed with results in qualifications there and ended up at 4th spot at the table, now after three rounds are again at 4th spot in group f and it will be really hard to achieve some good results here. After really convincing victory over Malta in first round they failed to celebrate over Lithuania in second round while in previous duel with Slovakia suffered convincing defeat. Now have really hard task to avoid defeat and earn some points in duel with strongest team in this group, they have negative record in meetings with England and must show some really remarkable performances to confront to them now and celebrate, they see their opportunity in not so convincing game of hosts on start of these qualifications and will give their best to surprise and achieve great victory, i'm not so sure that will mange to achieve that but for sure will attack and in my opinion they have enough quality to break opponents defense. It can't be said that Scotland is in some great shape, they celebrated only once in last five matches, suffered three defeats and got one draw, they must show significant improving in order to join race for spot on major tournament. In that previous round against Slovakia they were decent but lack of accuracy caused that convincing defeat, they now must show much more but here are coming highly motivated and i'm sure that this will be a great clash. Good news for the team is that they have no absent players. England must improve their form, they achieved decent results so far but much better performances and more convincing game is expected from them, here must win, that is only possible outcome for them, however that will open space for Scotland and will give them chance to score from counter attacks, this should be a great and open match with plenty of excitements and goals and over 2.5 goals to be scored somehow seems like a logical choice for this one and odds are decent.
