How many will England win by?

Lithuania step into Three Lions’ den

England aim to take a step closer to Russia on Sunday when welcoming the also-rans of international football to Wembley. The match is live on ITV from 5.00pm and punters are left predicting just how many The Three Lions will win by. Click here to place your match bets at Coral.

Gareth Southgate’s England enter game five of their Group F qualification campaign top of the pool, showing a record of three wins and a draw. That run includes a morale-boosting 3-0 victory over Scotland at this venue last time out. Sturridge, Lallana and Cahill were on the scoresheet that day, making for an easy night’s work.

Past results support England to nil

Their preparation for Sunday’s clash took a knock in midweek when suffering a 1-0 defeat away to Germany in a fiery friendly. Lukas Podolski scored a second-half screamer, a goal worthy of winning any match at any level of football. England came out of the test with credit though, having played some nice football and run their hosts close on the night.

This will be the first meeting between England and Lithuania since October 2015, and only the second ever. As you would expect, the boys from Wembley have won each of those previous ties, both without conceding a goal. 4-0 and 3-0 makes up the head-to-head record, and Southgate’s side to win to nil again has plenty of appeal at Coral’s 1/2. Not a bad price at all, especially when we see the home side nailed-on in the match result market at 1/9.
