  • Averaging 2.92 shots per 90 and 0.38 non-penalty goals per 90, giving him strong shot accuracy and conversion metrics.
  • England should dominate possession and create many attacking chances against Wales.

Why We’re Backing England Win & BTTS @ 5/2 with Sky Bet

  • The Three Lions’ recent wins under Thomas Tuchel have included several goals, including a 5-0 away win over Serbia last time out.
  • Wales have shown enough resilience in some fixtures to get on the scoresheet, especially in matches where they aren’t totally overrun.
  • England should field a rotated goalkeeper and defensive line, with Dean Henderson, Djed Spence, Dan Burn and Myles Lewis-Skelly anticipated to start.

England Form/Stats

  • England have won all five of their World Cup 2026 qualifying matches under Tuchel without conceding a goal.
  • Harry Kane has scored in each of the first four games under Tuchel, a stat no England player has achieved under a new manager before.

Wales Form/Stats

  • Craig Bellamy started his tenure with a 10-game unbeaten run as Wales boss.
  • Expected Goals (xG) per 90 has risen under Bellamy as the quality of chances Wales create has improved even if volume of shots haven’t drastically increased.

Player to Watch

Brennan Johnson has quickly become the heartbeat of Wales’ attack under Craig Bellamy. The Tottenham forward thrives in transition, using his pace and directness to exploit high defensive lines which is something England’s full-backs will need to be wary of.

Johnson has been directly involved in five goals in his last six international appearances, often drifting inside from the right to combine with midfield runners. Bellamy’s more possession-based, high-tempo approach suits his style perfectly, allowing him to receive the ball earlier and closer to goal.
