dcfc.co.uk looks ahead to tonight's international matches with Sky Bet.
Group H leaders England are favourites to take a giant step towards automatic qualification for next year’s World Cup with a win in Ukraine tonight.
The visitors will no doubt be set up to avoid defeat, which would see them maintain control of the group and their odds to top the table come in from 4/11 with Sky Bet.
Ukraine are 11/5 to come out on top, while Montenegro are not out of the equation, though they’re 14/1 to gain the automatic spot having played a game more than their rivals.
England to win 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1 have been popular in the Correct Score Group Betting, but Ukraine have kept four clean sheets on the trot and are 7/2 to win to nil.
Indeed, four of the last six meetings between these sides have been won to nil, three of which have been in England’s favour and they’re 3/1 to manage that feat again with the Football League’s title partner, Sky Bet.
England boss Roy Hodgson has injury and suspension worries up front, though, meaning Rickie Lambert looks set to lead the line after netting in both of his international appearances.
The Southampton striker heads the goalscorer betting and is available at 7/1 to score first in our Price Boots, while Frank Lampard is 4/1 to score anytime on his 100th appearance for his country.
Elsewhere, Derby trio Conor Sammon (Republic of Ireland), Jamie Ward (Northern Ireland) and Craig Bryson (Scotland) are also on international duty have matches tonight.
Sammon and Ireland have a key World Cup Qualifier away to Austria and they’re 7/2 to win, while Sammon is 4/1 to score at any stage during the game.
Meanwhile Ward and Northern Ireland are in Luxembourg and are 21/20 to claim a welcome win and Ward, who scored his first international goal on Friday against Portugal, is 11/2 to score first.
Bryson is 13/2 to score if he earns his second international cap tonight for Scotland in Macedonia.
