Team News

North Macedonia have no fresh personnel concerns heading into Monday’s clash.

Kieran Trippier will be unavailable for England after leaving the camp to return home due to a personal matter. This could lead to Rico Lewis coming in to make his Three Lions debut.

Marcus Rashford went off injured against Malta and is a doubt to feature in this one.

Both teams to score @ 6/4

Many people were left disappointed at England’s performance against Malta despite winning 2-0. Gareth Southgate still has many doubters among the supporters and they will be looking for an improved display in North Macedonia.

However, we are expecting England to concede in this one. North Macedonia have proven to be a tricky opponent in recent years and they have scored in nine of their last 11 outings. In addition to this, England have not been particularly solid on their travels, conceding in six of their previous seven away games.

Harry Kane to score first @ 9/4

Southgate will look to captain and forward Harry Kane to lead from the front on Monday night and rightly so. The striker is England’s record goalscorer and he has been in outstanding form for Bayern Munich this season with 17 goals in his first 11 Bundesliga appearances.

Kane should be more than a handful against the North Macedonian defence, and after scoring against Malta on Friday, he will be fired up to add another to his tally on this occasion. There wasn’t much value in him to score at anytime in this match, which is why we are tipping him to open proceedings in this match.
