Top Slovakia v England tips

Ahead of Sam Allardyce’s maiden game as Three Lions boss, a job he so coveted, Coral football experts have picked out some top Slovakia v England tips for punters to keep an eye on come Sunday.

Big Sam has already shaken things up by naming Michail Antonio in his World Cup qualifier debut squad, and has attempted to create a fun atmosphere around the Three Lions camp. England look set for a successful night against Slovakia, so read to discover our top punts…

Rejuvenated Rooney repays Allardyce faith

After a disappointing few years under Louis van Gaal at Manchester United, Wayne Rooney appears to have removed the shackles that were inhibiting his game, and already has two assists and a goal to his name this Premier League season under Jose Mourinho.

England’s all-time leading goalscorer will be keen to repay the faith Allardyce has shown him by naming him captain, with a big performance in Trnava. Rooney scored seven in Euro 2016 qualification and in England’s last win over the Slovaks Rooney netted twice.

The soon-to-be Man Utd top scorer is 5/1 with Coral to score first in the Three Lions’ first World Cup qualifier.

Slovakia draw blanks

In the last two encounters between the nations, Slovakia have failed to get on the scoresheet. Combined with the fact that England have never been beaten by the Central European outfit, a 21/10 punt on the Three Lions beating the Slovaks to nil looks good value.
