England take on African Nations champions, Egypt in this World Cup warm up, in what looks likely to be a strong test at Wembley this Wednesday. The test has been made so much harder, due to the injury absences of captain, Rio Ferdinand, Ashley Cole and Glenn Johnson, plus the withdrawal of Wayne Bridge from the squad due to his differences with former captain, John Terry.

Notwithstanding, England have been 2/5 odds on favourites to win the match with Bet365 , while Egypt are given odds of 7/1 with the draw available at 7/2.
With Cole and Bridge missing, England boss, Fabio Capello has been forced to call up two replacement left full backs in Leighton Baines, from Everton and Stephen Warnock of Aston Villa. Both are likely to feature during the game, but it has to be said that the England defence looks vulnerable, particularly with the question marks over the form of Terry and the absence of his regular England partner, Ferdinand.
Egypt proved when winning the recent African Nations Cup in Angola that they have an excellent team and they may have just the striker in Mohamed Geddo who could exploit England’s defensive frailties. Geddo was a revelation in Angola, finishing as top scorer who has since become a national hero. Geddo has very tempting odds of 12/1 to score the opening goal with Bet365 Favourite of course in the goalscoring market is Wayne Rooney, who can do little wrong at the moment. He is a 7/2 shot to score the first goal and 4/1 to score two or more goals, while his likely strike partner, Jermaine Defoe is 4/1 and 5/1 in the same markets respectively.

We find it interesting that the bookmakers have given the Egyptians no chance at all of winning this match, despite the fact that they won the African Nations Cup yet again a couple of months ago. They have a very strong squad of players; they are well led and play a brand of football that will test England thoroughly. That said, we also think that England will win, but it will be a lot closer than people imagine, with a 2-0 @ 5/1 or 2-1 @ 13/2 scoreline the likely outcome - odds courtesy of Bet365
