England Preview – Three Lions to kick off Euro 2020 with three points?
Gareth Southgate’s England head into Euro 2020 as one of the tournament favourites. Before a ball was kicked, the Three Lions were priced at 6/1 to lift the trophy. The English were FIFA World Cup winners way back in 1966 but have never been European champions.
England kick off their competition with a tricky fixture with the 2018 World Cup runners-up before facing foes Scotland at Wembley Stadium next Friday. The final Group D matchup will see the English take on Czech Republic in London. Can they go through to the last 16 with nine points out of nine?
Since a 2-0 UEFA Nations League defeat to Belgium back in November, England have won six in a row. They have won all three 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, and they warmed up for the Euros with back-to-back 1-0 friendly wins over Austria and Romania at the Riverside Stadium. Will their fine form continue this weekend?
Croatia Preview – Can the Croatians edge past the English again?
Zlatko Dalic’s Croatia were beaten by Belgium in their last game and have lost seven of their previous 13 matches. However, the Croatians could be dark horses this summer, as they have been overlooked in the betting. They are currently priced at 33/1 to lift the trophy.
Croatia shocked the world by reaching the World Cup final in Russia three years ago. The Blazers beat England in the semis before losing to France in the final.

England vs Croatia Betting Advice
England and Croatia have met twice since that World Cup semi in 2018. The pair locked horns in the inaugural Nations League shortly after, drawing 0-0 in Rijeka in the first match. England then beat Croatia 2-1 at Wembley in the reverse fixture, with Jesse Lingard and Harry Kane on target for the Three Lions.
Key Facts – England vs Croatia Betting Tip
- These two met in the 2018 World Cup semi-final
- Croatia have won just one of the last five meetings
- England have won each of their past six matches
England and Croatia look tough to split on paper, but the Three Lions could have the edge with home advantage. The Three Lions have been in excellent form in the build-up to this eagerly anticipated pan-European competition, and we fancy Southgate’s men to nick the points at Wembley. Back the English to win by one goal at 12/5.
Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has had another fine season for club and country. Kane was the Premier League’s Golden Boot winner and had the most assists. The England skipper was also top scorer at the 2018 World Cup. Have a punt on Kane to open the scoring in this one at 3/1.
