Bet #1 - Back Three Lions to win without conceding

The Stat

England have kept a clean sheet in each of their last nine competitive internationals, facing just nine shots on target in that run - five of which were against Greece in the first of those nine games last November. They could become the third European nation to keep 10 competitive clean sheets in a row, after the Netherlands (November 2004 - June 2006) and Spain (October 2014 - June 2016).

The Bet


Bet #2 - Back a stats-based Correct Score

The Stat

Albania have lost all seven of their matches against England - all in World Cup qualifiers - conceding at least twice in every defeat. England have only played more games against Luxembourg (9), Andorra (8) and San Marino (8) while maintaining a 100% win ratio than they have against Albania (7), winning 2-0 in their most recent meeting in March this year.

The Bet


Bet #3 - Back Kane to open the scoring

The Stat

Harry Kane has been directly involved in seven goals in three appearances against Albania (5 goals, 2 assists), scoring or assisting on average every 35 minutes. It's his joint most goals against one nation (also 5 vs San Marino), while he's only been involved in more goals against Bulgaria (4 goals, 4 assists).
