England confirmed their spot in next year’s tournament by securing a 3-1 home victory over Italy in October. Heading into tonight’s game against Malta, they face no pressure. The win against Italy not only ensured England’s place but also secured top spot in Group C with two games to spare, rendering tonight’s encounter essentially inconsequential.

For our first selection, the four-legged Bet Builder, we need England to secure a victory by a minimum of three goals, maintain a clean sheet, score in both halves, and see Malta receive at least two yellow cards. Gareth Southgate’s squad, regardless of the line-up, is expected to breeze through this match and should score three goals. Malta has managed only two goals throughout the campaign while conceding 18 in seven games. In contrast, England has netted 19 goals across six games, conceding just three.

Regarding the final part of the Bet Builder, it’s notable that Malta has received two or more cards in four of their last six games. Given England’s dominance in this match, there’s a strong possibility that Malta might grow frustrated and accumulate cards.

Moving on to the next pair of bets, our International Break System has identified two player card bets offering favourable odds. Ferdinando Apap, a player for Hibernians in his native country, has received six bookings in his last ten games for both club and country. Notably, he has been cautioned in his past four consecutive club matches, making his odds of 3.75 at Paddy Power seem quite generous, especially considering a potential matchup against England’s left winger, possibly Jack Grealish.

Another intriguing bet presents itself at a higher price of 8.00 at Sky Bet for striker Paul Mbong. Despite having only accrued five cards in 25 games for his club last season, the Birkirkara forward has already amassed three bookings in just seven games this season. Moreover, including one he received during the visit to Italy, he has tallied four cards in his last ten games. At 8.00, this price seems significantly undervalued at 7/1.
Good luck!
