We look at what Oddschecker users have been plumping for in the big game.
It’s the big one: England have a chance to emulate the heroes of Italia 90 by beating Sweden to reach the World Cup semi-finals.
But where is the money going? We’ve looked at five different markets to show you what Oddschecker punters have been backing.
Sorry, England fans… you’re not being backed to win in 90 minutes! When it comes to the Match Result market, 44% have gone for Sweden (19/5) compared to 42% for the Three Lions (21/20). The draw (58/25) has been backed at just 14%.
No prizes for guessing who tops this market. Harry Kane (31/10) has attracted 40% of the money, far more than any other player. Harry Maguire (33/1) is the next best backed player with 15%, punters maybe looking for value following England’s set-piece prowess in this tournament. No Goalscorer (29/5) is next, while Sweden’s penalty taker Andreas Granqvist (16/1) is the best backed Swedish player with 5% of bets.
This market is quite evenly split: 0-0 (6/1) is the best backed score with 14% of bets, with 12% of bets going on 2-1 England (10/1). It’s interesting to note that the six best backed scores are either England wins or draws, with 2-1 Sweden (18/1) the best backed win for the Scandinavian side with 6%.
Again, it’s Sweden that are more backed than England. 56% of bets have gone on Sweden (47/23) to qualify, with 44% on England (23/50).
It’s Harry Kane (2/1) who again tops another market and is the most backed selection, with 36% of the bets. Harry Maguire (16/1) is next best backed, mirroring the First Goalscorer market, with Kieran Trippier (33/1) third with 17% of the bets and could be value.
