Ladbrokes previews Panama vs England in the Three Lions' final World Cup group game
England are tipped to win with a -2 handicap and keep a clean sheet
Jude Bellingham is backed to score with England winning over 6.5 corners
England head into their final World Cup group game against Panama still needing a win to confirm top spot in Group L following Tuesday's disappointing goalless draw with Ghana.
After an exciting 4-2 win over Croatia to start the tournament, Thomas Tuchel's side were dealt a reality check by the Ghanaians, who successfully shut out the Three Lions attackers in what was an uninspiring display - and they could easily have lost the game late on.
A Harry Kane goal would be the easy choice here and there is every chance the Bayern Munich striker does find the net, but a Jude Bellingham goal looks to be better value for this game.
The midfielder has already scored at this tournament and remains one of the Three Lions' key threats. While potential injuries to Declan Rice and Reece James may force a reshuffle of Tuchel's side, Bellingham still feels certain to start and with England expected to dominate the game, it would be no surprise to see the 22-year-old grab another.
England to have over 6.5 corners
Corners have been one of England's key threats at this tournament, with their second against Croatia coming from exactly that, while it was probably the situation they looked most likely to score from against Ghana.
The 6.5 corner threshold was met in both of England's games so far, proving it is a key area Tuchel is targeting. As a result, we're backing another 6.5 corners here.
England to keep a clean sheet
But for a few chances on the break, Ghana never looked like troubling England's backline too much on Tuesday night, with Ezri Konsa and Marc Guehi looking like a fairly solid centre-back pairing.
Panama failed to find the net against both Ghana and Croatia, and breaching the Three Lions defence looks a much more difficult task, so we're backing an England clean sheet in the form of an under 0.5 total Panama goals pick.
England to win with -2.0 handicap
Finally, we're backing the Ghana game to be just a blip for England as they return to their winning and free-scoring ways against the Central American side.
With the odds for an England win in the match betting market not offering much value, we have stuck a two-goal handicap on the Three Lions, as we believe a three-goal victory should be on the cards.
A victory in that fashion would almost certainly secure top spot in Group L and remind supporters and the rest of the world that Tuchel's side mean business.
