Football Internationals Betting

John Barnes will be delighted as the England game with Brazil has been given the go ahead after a few worries over safety and he can go on every major media outlet talking about that goal from that friendly. Can another England player secure themselves a place in the spotlight this Sunday? Here is our guide to the best of the bets from this game and all the other action taking place.

Brazil are the 8/13 (GENERAL) favourites to defeat England on Sunday night as they embark on what is a rare home game after finding themselves becoming the Harlem Globetrotters of professional Football. The visitors will be confident after they beat Brazil 2-1 in a friendly at Wembley back in Ferbuary and England can be backed at 26/5 (youwin) for victory. Two of the last four head-to-heads in Brazil have ended all square and you can get 33/10 (BETVICTOR) that this game ends drawn. In terms of recent form that also points to a draw as Brazil have drawn three of their last four games while England have drawn each of their last two and four of their last eight.

As stated before it was 2-1 to England when these sides met at Wembley and you can get 20/1 (CORAL) that this game ends this way also. Four of the last eight England games have ended in a 1-1 draw and it is 15/2 (william hill) that this game ends in this score. Brazil have drawn two of their last four 2-2 and this is priced at 18/1 (william hill).

Both teams to score might be an option in this game as this would have paid in seven of their last ten head-to-head meetings and in five of the last six England games and in six of the last seven. YES in the both teams to score market is priced at 10/11 (WILLLIAM HILL). The first goalscorer market is headed by Neymar who is likely keen to make a statement ahead of his move to Barcelona and has scored three time in his last two for Brazil. You can back Neymar at 9/2 (SKYBET/BETVICTOR/paddypower) to open the scoring. Fred is also in decent scoring form for Brazil having grabbed four in his last six internationals including one against England at Wembley and is 11/2 (SKYBET/paddy Power/BWIN).

Hulk is 6/1 (SKYBET/BETVICTOR/ladbrokes) to score first while Leandro Damiao is 6/1 (BETVICTOR/ladbrokes) Those looking to back an England player will see that Wayne Rooney who netted when these sides last met is priced at 9/1 (bet365/SKYBET). I think the value could be a play on Theo Walcott in these markets as with Daniel Sturridge absent and Jermain Defoe carrying a knock he might be handed a role through the middle. Walcott can be backed at 12/1 (GENERAL) to score the first goal or 9/2 (SKYBET) to score at anytime.

The meeting between these sides is not the only friendly Sunday as amongst the teams in action the Republic of Ireland take on Georgia.The Republic will be full of confidence after drawing with England at Wembley and they can be backed at 8/15 (bet365/WILLIAMHILL) to win this game. I can not be doing so at that price especially as they have won just four of their 12 home games. The hosts will have put a lot into the game with England and I think they might have overlooked this game and Georgia can be backed at 13/2 (STAN JAMES/WILLIAMHILL/SPREADEX) for victory while the draw is 3/1 (GENERAL). I think the way to play this is to take GEORGIA/DRAW in the double chance market at 8/5 (GENERAL) as the visitors are an improving side who almost held Spain on their own patch.

BEST OF THE BETS

GOLD: Georgia/Draw in double chance market v Rep of Ireland, 8/5 (GENERAL)
SILVER: Theo Walcott to score anytime v Brazil, 9/2 (SKYBET)
BRONZE: Theo Walcott to score first v Brazil, 12/1 (GENERAL)
