With the dust now settled after the Euros, the focus now switches to the World Cup qualifiers with England back in action with an away trip to Hungary.

The sides last met in 2010 for a friendly and thanks to a couple of Steven Gerrard goals the Three Lions won that clash 2-1, while the overall head-to-heads have only seen four previous meetings today.

Looking at the match betting for the game, England, who are FIFA World Ranked 4^th, are the clear favourites in the betting at 1.40, with the draw 4.50 and Hungary 8.00.

With both teams having scored in the last four head-to-heads, this might be another option to look have onside at 2.10, but a small word of caution here as both teams ‘DIDN’T’ score in 7 of England’s last 9 games – this can be backed at 1.66.

The Three Lions have also only conceded two goals in their last 9 games, while 9 of their last 11 matches went UNDER 2.5 GOALS – you can back Over 2.5 Goals at 1.95 and Under 2.5 Goals at 1.85.

Gareth Southgate’s England come here unbeaten in their last 13 games inside 90 mins and are certainly becoming a hard side to beat. However, Hungary don’t lose many games either – they’ve tasted defeat in only one of their 14 games.

Hungary do seem to like a draw too – 50% of their last 10 games have ended all square, including 3 of their last 4 too.

Team news will be key when it comes to the scoring markets, but we can expect a string side to be played by England, so the usual suspects of Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling will figure high up the list in the first and anytime scoring markets.

Overall, it’s a game that it’s hard to see England losing, but with home advantage and the fact Hungary have only lost one of their last 14 games means this might not be totally straight-forward. Don’t forget, in their last two games Hungary held France and Germany to draws.

With England not conceding many goals, then the call here is to side with UNDER 2.5 GOALS at 1.85. This bet has paid out in 9 of England’s last 11 matches and we can expect another solid defensive performance from the Three Lions here.

JUICESTORM VERDICT: UNDER 2.5 GOALS @1.85
