Will Carroll Be Singing Following Rooney’s Rush Of Blood?

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Wayne Rooney’s red card against Montenegro means that he will miss the opening game of Euro 2012 and William Hill are offering 10/11 that Andy Carroll is the man to start up top in England’s opener. Danny Welbeck is 6/5 second favourite with Theo Walcott 5/4. Rooney’s rush of blood to the head is being portrayed as an isolated incident but Hills go 20/1 about him getting his marching orders against Liverpool on Saturday.

“Rooney’s rush of blood has opened the door for someone else to come in and impress for Capello’s men at Euro 2012 and the odds suggest that Andy Carroll will be the one to benefit,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Ireland are the shortest priced team to qualify for Euro 2012 via the playoffs after they were drawn against Estonia. Trapattoni’s men are 1/3 to reach Poland and Ukraine while Estonia are 9/4. Portugal failed to qualify automatically and face Bosnia. Hills offer 4/9 that they make it through the two legged tie.

Ireland’s first game is away and they are 13/10 to return from Estonia with a victory in the bag.

To Start England’s First Euro 2012 Match: 10/11 Andy Carroll; 6/5 Danny Welbeck; 5/4 Theo Walcott; 2/1 Jermaine Defoe; 5/2 Darren Bent; 7/2 Gabby Agbonlaor; 7/2 Daniel Sturridge; 7/2 Bobby Zamora; 4/1 Peter Crouch; 8/1 Connor Wickham; 11/1 Jay Bothroyd; 14/1 Michael Owen; 16/1 Cameron Jerome
