England will host Scotland for the second round of the Euros at the Wembley Stadium in London on 19th June 2021 at 00:30 IST. The odds are clearly in favor of the English side to win the match and move towards the top position of the table.

Teams Status

England

England had an exceptional outing against Croatia in the first round where they won the match 1-0 courtesy of an early second-half goal by Raheem Sterling assisted by Kalvin Phillips. That was a pretty even game as both the teams had 50% possession and also had eight shots with just two on target, but England converted the chance that they got. England finally broke the jinx of losing the first match in Euros. They are continuing their form for the qualifiers where they finished at the top of their group with 21 points from just eight matches. England had won seven matches and lost just one match. Their talisman Harry Kane didn’t add any goals to his tally of 12 goals in the qualifiers, but he is expected to strike for England in the upcoming games.

Scotland

Scotland are coming on the back of a disappointing loss against the Czech Republic. They started off well but conceded a goal in the late first-half via a set piece to hand them the lead. They didn’t start the second half as they would have wanted and went 2-0 down early in the second courtesy of a stunning goal from Patrik Schick from the halfway line. Scotland had most of the possession and the shots but couldn’t convert but came as close as hitting the woodwork. They finished in the third place of the qualifier group and qualified courtesy of a playoff semifinal win over Israel and the final win over Serbia. John McGinn came really close to adding one more goal to his seven goals in the qualifiers.

Tipster’s Angle

England have a better edge over Scotland as they have dominated this fixture over the years. Unlike the first two matches of this group, this could see a lot of goals scored in them.

Tip: England Total Goals Over 1.5 @ 1.50

In the last seven head to head matches that these two teams played against each other, England has scored 15 goals in as many as seven matches at an average of more than two goals per match. Also, over 1.5 goals were scored in six of the last seven head to head matches against Scotland. England have scored over 1.5 goals in five of the last ten matches that they played across competitions. Also, Scotland have conceded over 1.5 goals in three of the last six matches that they have played across competitions. So, it is very likely that England will score over 1.5 goals at 1.50 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Tip: Total Goals Over 2.5 @ 1.94

A total of 16 goals were scored in the last four head to head matches at an average of four goals per match. And over 2.5 goals were scored in all four matches. Even over 2.5 goals were scored in both the last two head to head matches that they have hosted. In the last nine matches that England have played over 2.5 goals were scored in four of those matches. Three of the last six matches that Scotland have played had over 2.5 goals scored in those matches. With the likes of Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling, Phil Foden and Che Adams taking the field a lot of goals could be scored. So, it is likely that over 2.5 goals will be scored at 1.94 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Conclusion

England could seal a top two finish with a win here against Scotland with one more match remaining against the Czech Republic. Scotland on the other hand have to win the match inorder to stay in the competition.
