Betting on England to qualify from Group F might not be your best bet to make during the European World Cup Qualifiers. Not because it would be an unlikely scenario, but because it’s such a sure event that you could hardly make any money out of such a bet.
However, it is still worth it visiting online sportsbooks in the UK to place your bets on the Group F matches of European World Cup Qualifiers. In fact, there will be some quite interesting battles as UK mates England and Scotland are still to face each other, while Slovakia, Slovenia and Lithuania are still in the battle for claiming the second position in hopes of qualifying for World Cup 2018 in Russia. What are the odds of each team and who can still qualify for World Cup? Let’s take a look at the chances!
Don’t bet on England to qualify from group!
Or do bet on England if you have a lot of money to invest and you are not a true gentleman. Because, as we know, true gentlemen do not bet on events that are sure to happen. Well, even if it’s not a sure event for England to win Group F, it is still certain for England to qualify from Group F to World Cup 2018. They are already leading and it is quite questionable if any of their rivals will be able to beat them.
Freshly appointed England manager Sam Allerdyce was fired right after being named as the new England manager due to corruption scandals around him. His place was taken by Gareth Southgate who seems to be a good choice as the World Cup Qualifiers are going on without any problems for England and online sportsbooks expect the team to easily win the group. Their odds for that are only 1.10 (1/10) at Bet365 which means they are obviously favourites to win Group F.
Slovakia, Slovenia or Lithuania to qualify for World Cup 2018?
It is much more interesting to ask who is going to be second placed in Group F, and hence reach the play off place. Currently it is Slovenia resting in the second position, only 2 points behind England and they have a 2-point lead ahead of Slovakia, while Lithuania comes 4th with 5 points. Online sportsbooks in the UK expect Lithuana to be overtaken by Scotland, but if you want to win big, you can bet on Lithuania.
The Eastern European country’s team is doing surprisingly well and they might even have a chance to beat both Slovakia and Slovenia and come up to the second position as underdogs. Their odds to do so are 13.00 (12/1) at BetVictor. Should Lithuania reach play-off spot ahead of Scotland, Slovenia and Slovakia, it would cause a huge shock at online betting news in the UK.
You can also bet on Scotland to qualify for World Cup 2018. Their chances are not very good: they have collected only 4 points so far and they are in the 5th position. Only Malta performs worse than them in the group, which is quite a surprise. If you think that Scotland will still be in Russia, you can bet on them for 11.00 (10/1) odds at Coral Sportsbook!
