Higher risk / longshot angles
Draw Upside Angle
There is a quiet case for the draw at 5/1. More about the price than a strong call on the numbers. It only appeals if you fancy the favourite to control it without finishing the job.
Correct Score 1-1
We rate Correct Score 1-1 at about 10%; the odds imply 9%.
England to Win by 3+ Goals
England to Win by 3+ Goals needs a three-goal winning margin. We make that about a 20% shot. Priced off the England -2.5 goal-handicap line. Projected scoreline around 1.8–0.6.
