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 Pearces 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 Hills 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 Englands 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 Wednesdays games and 13/8 that under four goals are scored.
