You Bet England Will Be Undone By Set Piece Again

England U21s are the 17/20 favourites to defeat Ukraine on Wednesday evening while the Three Lions are 17/5 to taste defeat. For England to draw is 12/5. Stuart Pearce’s men were expected to be strong on set pieces, but still managed to concede a goal against Spain that came from a corner. Hills offer 4/1 that England U21s concede a goal against Ukraine from a set piece.

“With Jones and Smalling in centre back, you would have expected England to be strong on set pieces, but were undone by a corner from the smallest side in the tournament. It may now prove difficult not to back them to do so against a much more physical Czech side,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

With Danny Welbeck scoring in the group opener against Spain, Hills offer 7/4 that the other Dannys – Rose and Sturridge get at least a goal each at some point during the tournament. Danny Welbeck is Even money to end the tournament as England’s top scorer, with Sturridge 9/4 and Scott Sinclair 7/1. England U21 are 7/4 to be eliminated at the Group Stage and 7/2 to win the tournament. Spain are the 11/8 favourites to win the tournament, ahead of England and Czech Republic at 9/2.

Spain U21s take on Czech Republic in the other match taking place on Wednesday and Hills make Spain red-hot 4/6 favourites to win. The Czech Republic are 4/1. Hills offer 7/4 that six or more goals are scored during Wednesday’s games and 13/8 that under four goals are scored.

9/1 England to draw two remaining group games
7/4 Danny Rose and Daniel Sturridge BOTH to score for England in the tournament

How Far Will Gunners Go In Europe ?

HOW FAR WILL GUNNERS GO IN EUROPE?

WITH ARSENE WENGER again talking up Arsenal’s Champions League prospects, William Hill are betting on how far they will get in this year’s tournament and believe they will struggle to get past the last 16, making that their 7/4 favourite to be the stage at which they are eliminated. ‘Arsene is very much an optimist, but we believe the Gunners will do well to get past the Last 16 stage and if they do they’ll probably exit at the Quarter Final stage’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make Arsenal 2/9 to end the season with no major trophy to their credit at all yet again, and quote 500/1 that they will win all four major tournaments they are in, 22/1 that they win the Premier League – FA Cup double.

ARSENAL are 1/7 to win their Champions League Group with Hills who also offer 9/2 Shakhtar; 12 Braga; 40 Partizan B. They are 1/50 to qualify; 12/1 not to.

WILLIAM HILL have slashed their odds for a disappointing turnout at Wembley of between 40,000 and 49,999 fans for England’s friendly against Hungary from 20/1 to 6/4 after taking a flood of bets that the official attendance will be extremely low. Hills have also cut 30,000 – 39,999 from 66/1 to 3/1, and a humiliating 20,000- 29,999 from 100/1 to 16/1. ‘The FA are pulling out all the stops to encourage a decent turnout for this game,but with most clubs wishing it wasn’t happening and fans having shelled out for club season tickets, and following such a dismal World Cup performance, punters have decided a low turnout is a certainty’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
