Scott McGlynn
England head into their final group game with Panama on Saturday night in control of their own destiny.
Bettering or equalling Ghana’s result against Croatia will see Thomas Tuchel’s side punch their ticket to the Round of 32 as Group L winners, and they will fancy putting an already eliminated Panama to the sword.
Here are our three football betting tips and the best free bet offers ahead of Saturday night's clash in New Jersey.
Panama vs England Tips
Here are our top three World Cup betting tips and the best free bets ahead of this game.
Tip 1: England to win & both teams to score
A stuttering and insipid display against Ghana was a sobering reality check for England.
Despite having the lion’s share of possession (78.8%), the highest figure recorded for a World Cup game since 1966, England laboured to a goalless draw, incurring the wrath of fans.
Indeed, it took until the 57th minute before England registered a shot on target. It wasn’t until a mini siege late on when Nico O’Reilly crashed a header against the bar, and Harry Kane skied the rebound, that England looked like forcing the door open.
Panama, on the other hand, gave Croatia a scare, but they looked susceptible on the counter. A 1-0 reverse arguably seemed respectable for the group’s preconceived whipping boys.
Although England thrashed Panama 6-1 in their previous World Cup meeting in 2018, Panama might not be as easy fodder this time around. To play it safe, England to win & BTTS is appetising.
Tip 2: Harry Kane to score 2+ goals
As the main source of goals, Harry Kane shoulders a big responsibility for England.
Despite firing a blank against Ghana, Kane has two goals to his name so far this tournament, and he’s in the hunt for the Golden Boot.
With 81 strikes to his name from 116 appearances, Kane continues to stretch his lead as England’s most prolific goalscorer, and whatever he ends up on, his record will take some stopping.
In England’s previous meeting with Panama, Kane had a field day, plundering a hat-trick. However, backing that outcome seems like a bold call, so I’ve gone with Kane to hit a double instead.
Tip 3: England to win, Harry Kane to score 2+ goals & Panama 16+ fouls committed
England may have been underwhelming against Ghana, but the World Cup is a marathon, not a sprint. Tuchel’s men should bounce back strongly with three points against Panama.
Kane is invariably among the goals, and he has form against Panama, having previously rattled a hat-trick against them. He should get ample chances, and the Bayern Munich frontman to score two or more has legs.
Complete your treble with the fouls market. In their previous showing against Croatia, Panama committed 19 fouls, so they aren’t afraid to get stuck in. 16+ fouls to be ceded by Panama doesn’t seem unfeasible.
