England v Russia at Euro 2016 on June 11th just a day after the tournament starts means that England fans will hopefully getting rid of those pre-tournament nerves pretty quickly. It’s been such a big build up for England, because of Roy Hodgson picking such a young, exciting and talented squad. The expectations on England heading to a major tournament are always usually over-hyped as it is, but there could be genuine reason to expect something great of this young squad this time around.

England have remained steady in the outright market in Euro 2016 odds at Betbright, the Three Lions around the 9/1 mark to land the title, with only Spain, France and Germany shorter priced than they are to win the whole thing. So putting together a confident run could all hinge on England taking a win in that opening fixture on June 11th against the Russians. If England can kick it all off with a bang there, then they will be in great standing to go on and win the group, as they are outright favourites to do.

Following the game against Russia, England will then take on Wales and Slovakia in Group B. England are in the kind of form where they should be confident. They have gone W9 L2 in their last eleven games played and of course put together that 100% qualifying campaign. Their three wins in friendly matches just ahead of the tournament, over Turkey, Australia and Portugal saw them have to scrap a little bit at times and whatever the boss was trying to do with his formation against Portugal didn’t work at all. But it’s better to get that all out of the way, like Harry Kane’s missed spot kick against Turkey now, than at the Finals.

England are 17/20 to take the match win against Russia in that opener, with the draw at 23/10 and Russia at 7/2 in Euro 2016 odds at Betbright. That’s a pretty wide margin between the two sides to take the win. The head to head between England and Russia stands at one win each from just the two previous meetings. Those meetings were a month apart at the back end of 2007 during Euro 2008 qualification, each winning their respective home game. Wayne Rooney scored in their 2-1 defeat out in in Russia which came after a 3-0 home win at Wembley.

Will Wayne Rooney be trusted ahead of Jamie Vardy in the starting eleven? The Manchester United man is a big 33/1 shot in Betbright Euro 2016 top scorer odds, a long, long way adrift of the 14/1 price on Harry Kane to win the Golden Boot. With his injury problems during the regular season, he should be pretty fresh for the summer of football and can he really stand up and deliver for his country after many failures in previous major tournaments?

What about Russia though? They qualified in second place in their Euro 2016 qualifying group they were expected to win from the outset. They couldn’t keep pace with Austria though and they sneaked in with a two point advantage over Sweden. Five of Russia’s last six wins that they have posted (friendly and competitive) have all been with a clean sheet, so England may have to be patient in trying to break them down. Since ending Euro 2016 qualifying with a four match winning streak, they have only gone W2 D1 L3 in their last six played. Artyom Dzyuba is their goalscoring threat.
