England take on Croatia at Wembley this afternoon in a crucial UEFA Nations League match.

Failure to win for either side will result in relegation to Group B, while a victory for either will result in progression to next summer's finals in Portugal.

England are 4/5 favourites to beat Croatia despite not having won either of their past two meetings.

And Croatia, who knocked England out of the World Cup in the semi-final this summer, are 3/1 to win the match. A draw, which was the outcome in the reverse fixture, is 11/4.

England expectedly beat the USA in an International Friendly at the national stadium on Thursday, while the Croats defeated Spain 3-2 leaving the group wide open going into the final game.

A score draw will see Gareth Southgate's men relegated and go from playing teams of Spain's calibre to the likes of Finland and Austria, which wouldn't be good for ticket sales and trying to get people interested in the International game.

While a goalless draw will keep England in the top group for the 2020/21 competition and result in relegation for Croatia.

Tottenham striker Harry Kane is 11/4 to open the scoring at Wembley this afternoon, while in form Bournemouth ace Callum Wilson, who netted his first Three Lions goal against the USA, is 5/1 to fire England into the lead and 7/5 to score his second in as many games at any time.

PA

Andrej Kramaric, who opened the scored in Croatia's 3-2 victory over Spain mid-week, is a massive 11/1 to do so again today and 16/5 to score at any point.

Kane to bag anytime, over 8.5 corners and Dejan Lovern to get booked is very tempting 14/1 shot with BetBull.
