“?Bookmakers are expecting a total of £20m to be wagered on England’s final group game against Slovakia on Monday.
Daniel Sturridge’s injury-time winner against Wales means that a victory against Slovakia will see the Three Lions top Group B, which will directly affect who they face in the knockout stages.
The Daily Mirror“? report that, according to William Hill, £20m will be wagered, seeing it become one of the most bet on football matches of all-time.
The best odds you can currently find on an England win is 4/5, with Paddy Power and Ladbrokes offering the short price. While on the other hand, Slovakia are around 5/1 to pull off an upset on Monday.
The draw is modestly priced at 5/2 with Bet 365, this could be a safe bet considering how England have performed in their first two group games against Russia and Wales.
Roy Hodgson’s inspired substitutions on Thursday saw both Jamie Vardy and Daniel Sturridge come off the bench to score. This, paired with Harry Kane’s lacklustre start to the tournament, could see the Leicester City and Liverpool men start for England on Monday.
If the Three Lions earn all three points, they will play against the third placed team of either Groups A, C or D, which could be any of Romania, Northern Ireland or the Czech Republic.
