Sa Mar 26 – 15.00 BST (BBC1)
This weekend's round of internationals are bound to provide us with a
few surprise results along the way, but it's very hard to see an upset
at Old Trafford. Despite a laboured campaign, England still arrive at
this game unbeaten in qualifying, and the home side looking nailed on
for victory. The Irish will just be hoping to leave Old Trafford with
their dignity intact, but the fact of the matter is that in the 96
times the two teams have met, England have tasted defeat just six
times, the last being back in the George Best days of 1972! The
problem with the game as a betting proposition is England's skinny
price of 1/7. However, such is the gulf in class between the two sides
that the Lions can safely be supported on our Asian Handicap giving up
a likely one and a half goal start, while an even safer bet could be
'Over 2.5 goals' at 6/10. A 'Scorecast' is a more speculative
investment, but the odds can be rewarding, with a Michael Owen first
goal/England 3-0 scoreline priced at 12/1. Once the game gets under
way, we'll be betting 'In-Play' on the match to a reduced margin of
107%, with up to 15 markets on offer at any one time. |
