In the motherland of football nothing burned in the European qualifying. In Group A, the Three Lions defeated the national teams of the Czech Republic (15 points), Kosovo (11), Bulgaria (6) and Montenegro (3) as winners with 21 points. Gareth Southgate’s team played their last international match in Kosovo on 17 November last year in the last European qualifying match. The favourite didn’t let anything burn and scored the firmly scheduled three points with a clear 4-0 victory. The goals for England shot Winks after just over half an hour (32nd) to the 1-0 intermission. In the second period, however, the final decision was made in the final minutes – Kane (79th), Rashford (83rd) and Mount (91st) made it one-sided.
The Southgate elf has won the last three qualiparties and this quite clearly – Bulgaria (6:0), Montenegro (7:0), Kosovo (4:0). In the eight group games, only the Czech Republic was lost in the otherwise almost perfect qualification (1:2). All other seven international matches were won and the group victory earned, including early qualification for THE EURO 2021, was confirmed.
The English national team scored 37 goals during the European Championship qualifying, making it the second best offensive in Europe. Only Belgium was better with 40 goals.

The English national team is the favourite in Iceland for the first game of the new Nations-League season. The Three Lions played a very good European Championship qualification and only allowed themselves to slip. Otherwise, all the remaining seven games could be won. The NL-third with 37 hits in the EM qualifying showed offensive strength. The Strakanir Okkar missed the premature qualifying for THE EURO 2021, with the playoff game against Romania in October and progress in the final then the opportunity to still be in the final round. If the Southgate elf does not underestimate the Vikings, they will win the first NL match without major problems and leave the Laugardalsvöllur stadium in Reykjavik as the winner. Accordingly, we favor for this tip forecast also the 3-way bets on England wins. For this sports betting tip, the online betting providers grant betting odds on average from 1.25 to 1.30.
