A typical England relapse at 14/1 odds

Wednesday evening sees an international friendly to savour, as the great and mighty Brazil head to Wembley to face England in a game of high glamour.

It is a night of celebration for the Football Association - as it continues its 150th anniversary commemorations - but a game where punters will also be looking to make a bit of money.

The stats tell a story - England have only ever lost twice at home to Brazil, while seven of the last 14 meetings between the nations have finished as a 1-1 draw. Such a result once again would be satisfactory for both Hodgson and Scolari, perhaps leading us to believe neither will push too hard for a win in the closing stages.

With a score draw looking likely, the only question is how the goals will come. England to be leading at half-time, but drawing at full-time certainly looks an attractive proposition at 14/1 with bet365. Happy hunting!
