England Squad to face Montenegro Latest Betting Preview

There were not many who thought that Kevin Davies, the 33 year old, stalwart striking captain of Bolton Wanderers would have found himself in the England Euro 2012 squad for the forthcoming Group G match against Montenegro. However, he has and in the process proved to all that if you are good and fit enough then age is no barrier, even if it is for probably just the one match. Whether or not he wins his first cap of course is a different matter, but it would be almost an act of sadism for Fabio Capello not to give him some sort of run out against the Montenegrins, otherwise the call up will have been a complete waste. William Hill Bookmakers who offer Davies at 2/5 odds on not to play and 7/4 against playing, we think are therefore worth taking on and Davies to play would be one of our tips for the match.

Euro 2012 Betting Odds Comparison

The England squad to face Montenegro was named as thus:

Goalkeepers

Ben Foster (Birmingham City), Robert Green (West Ham United), Joe Hart (Manchester City)

Defenders

Ashley Cole (Chelsea), Phil Jagielka (Everton), Glen Johnson (Liverpool), Rio Ferdinand (Manchester United), Joleon Lescott (Manchester City), John Terry (Chelsea), Stephen Warnock (Aston Villa)

Midfield

Gareth Barry (Manchester City), Joe Cole (Liverpool), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Tom Huddlestone (Tottenham Hotspur), Adam Johnson (Manchester City), Aaron Lennon (Tottenham Hotspur), Jack Wilshere (Arsenal), Shaun Wright-Phillips (Manchester City), Ashley Young (Aston Villa).

Forwards

Darren Bent (Sunderland), Peter Crouch (Tottenham Hotspur), Kevin Davies (Bolton), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United)

Clearly Capello has one eye on the past in terms of selecting Davies, but he also has one eye on the future and most fans will applaud him for including, the very impressive young Arsenal midfielder, Jack Wilshere in the squad. William Hill once again have created a ‘will he play – won’t he play’ market and offer 4/6 odds on that Wilshere will not get on the pitch and 11/10 that he will. It will be an interesting side issue to a match that England, no matter what team they put out should win comfortably.

That said both teams will line up at Wembley unbeaten after two games, with Montenegro yet to concede a goal. Nonetheless, it is England with the more impressive qualifying credentials so far, scoring seven times with the loss of just one goal, including a 4-0 drubbing of Bulgaria at Wembley a month ago. This is why England have been made massive 1/5 odds on favourites to win the match and they are also the same price to win the group. Montenegro on the other hand are 11/1 to win at Wembley, 22/1 to win Group G, but a far more sensible, 6/4 to qualify from the Group. These odds are available via Paddy Power.

As a further aside, Hills have created ‘To be named captain’ market where they have Rio Ferdinand 1/4 odds on to get the nod against the 11/4 offered on Steven Gerrard, who has captained the team since the World Cup. This suggests that Gerrard may well be rested, for at least the start of the game.

Whoever plays and whoever has the armband, we take England to comfortably win this match and put themselves into an almost unassailable lead at the top of Group G. A scoreline of 2-0 or 3-0 we think, are both worth backing, particularly with odds of 11/2 and 7/1 respectively from PaddyPower.
