England v Honduras Betting Tips:
One final chance for players to press for a starting place against Italy on June 14th at the World Cup. Who will make it? Wayne Rooney aside, probably not any of the starters against Ecuador as Roy Hodgson fielded a side of fringe players. Perhaps Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Ross Barkley may have a sniff after being the only ones to give the gaffer something to think about. The game, while the result was disappointing, helped Hodgson see who shouldn’t be staring against the Italians. So more question marks over the England defence, even though it was a makeshift one with James Milner at right back. But their main starting back four came under scrutiny after giving up big chances in their 3-0 win over Peru recently.

Far more pleasing is the crop of attacking young players, with Ross Barkley, Adam Lallana and the energy from the likes of Oxlade-Chamberlain and Jack Wilshere producing some optimism. There should be more than enough in the starting ranks, in terms of creativity and power to post a relatively comfortable win over Honduras. Whether that will come with a clean sheet or not, even with the main back four back in business, will remain to be seen. Truthfully, a clean sheet against the Central Americans shouldn’t be too difficult. Wayne Rooney and Rickie Lambert netted against Ecuador are trading at Even Money and 7/4 respectively in the anytime goalscorer market against Honduras, but Daniel Sturridge will be back in the picture too.

This should provide England with some great experience for when they have to handle Costa Rica in their final match in Group D at the World Cup. This is the first meeting between the two nations and England are only 6/5 to win with a clean sheet in tow in this one, which speaks volumes about how poor that they are at the back. The game is trading at 4/5 to go under 2.5 goals as well. While England should win this comfortably, Honduras are only ranked two places below Ecuador in the FIFA World Rankings at 31st. Honduras face Switzerland, France and Ecuador in Group E at the World Cup, and they are rank outsiders to qualify. Honduras haven’t gone well in their warm up, suffering losses against Turkey and Israel in their last two matches, and England should have the chance to post a confidence-building victory.

Prediction
Heavy favourites are the Three Lions to post the victory here, but aren’t great value in the outright market at all. Can you trust England’s defence for a clean sheet win? It may be better to drift on over to the anytime goalscorer market where Wayne Rooney is even money to build on his scrappy goal against Ecuador.
