Victory Beckons: England’s Unstoppable March in Euro 2024 Qualifiers
Key Stats
– Kane’s stellar performance: With three goals in three matches, Harry Kane has proven his mettle as England’s primary offensive force.
– North Macedonia’s defense woes: Conceding an average of two goals per game, North Macedonia’s defense has room for improvement.
In a quest to continue their flawless Euro 2024 qualification campaign, England is set to take on North Macedonia in a Group C encounter at the renowned Old Trafford on Monday. Despite a crushing 4-0 victory over Malta, sceptics point to the quality of the opposition as a reason for reservation. On the other hand, optimists highlight the exceptional performance of Trent Alexander-Arnold and the squad’s four-goal triumph.
The Three Lions’ Performance
After the recent Malta match, England have started to establish themselves as the leaders of Group C. Taking advantage of his newfound midfield freedom, Trent Alexander-Arnold excelled, contributing to the victory with a spectacular long-range goal and providing a remarkable long pass to Bukayo Saka, which ultimately led to Malta’s Ferdinando Apap scoring an own goal. Additionally, Harry Kane and Callum Wilson further increased England’s lead, demonstrating the team’s offensive prowess.

Meanwhile, North Macedonia faced a heartbreaking 3-2 loss against Ukraine. They had initially held a two-goal advantage, thanks to Enis Bardhi and Eljif Elmas, but were unable to maintain their lead in the second half. A significant setback came when Visar Musliu was red-carded, and the situation was further exacerbated by Ukraine’s remarkable second-half turnaround.
A Look at the Past and Predictions for the Future
England’s previous encounters with North Macedonia have not been blowouts. However, the Three Lions have a track record of success on their home turf. The team has won their last 11 continental qualifiers at home, with North Macedonia venturing into Manchester amidst a less than ideal morale.
In the light of the upcoming match, we’re looking at two potential betting options. Firstly, I believe there is very good value in backing a William Hill Bet Builder made of Harry Kane To Score Assisted By Either Phil Foden or Marcus Rashford which pays at around 2/1 at the moment of writing. The Bet Builder feature allows users to combine different bet outcomes into a single bet.
Harry Kane, who is England’s captain and primary striker, has a strong track record of finding the back of the net in crucial matches. His physical presence, positioning skills, and clinical finishing ability make him a constant threat to opponents. He’s proven himself as one of the best forwards in the world, scoring goals consistently both for Tottenham Hotspur and England.
Kane’s data shows that he’s currently in an excellent scoring form, netting three goals in three matches and a goal every 77 minutes. With an average of three shots per game, two of which are typically on target, and a goal conversion rate of 33%, he’s demonstrating a strong striking capability.
Despite two missed opportunities, Kane’s proven ability to score, especially from within the box (3/9), underscores the rationale behind betting on him to find the net. He’s also won a penalty, highlighting his ability to draw fouls in dangerous areas. His passing stats are also noteworthy, with 74% accuracy, demonstrating his involvement in the build-up play.
Phil Foden and Marcus Rashford, on the other hand, have been instrumental in creating goal-scoring opportunities for England. Foden, who has blossomed at Manchester City under the guidance of Pep Guardiola, is known for his creative abilities. His vision, technique, and dribbling skills often result in high-quality chances for his teammates, and his link-up play with Kane could prove fruitful.
Despite not starting in any of the games in these qualifiers and playing fewer minutes, has been effective in his passing, maintaining an accuracy of 89%. His key pass rate is 2.5 per game, and he has created one big chance. This indicates that, even in limited minutes, Foden’s creativity could set up Kane for a goal. His successful crossing ability (100% accuracy) could also be a pivotal factor in assisting Kane, who has been lethal from inside the box.
Rashford is another powerful asset for England. His blistering pace and ability to deliver accurate crosses make him a major threat on the wings. Rashford’s assists often come from wide areas, and Kane’s ability to position himself well inside the box could be the perfect complement to Rashford’s wing play.
So far he has played only one game with 30 minutes of action, but he’s already shown potential with his involvement. He’s attempted two shots in this game, indicating his active participation in the attacking front. His pass accuracy is quite impressive at 83%, demonstrating his ability to feed accurate passes to Kane. Rashford’s successful dribbles also point to his ability to beat defenders and create opportunities for teammates like Kane.
In conclusion, given Kane’s goal-scoring form and the creative abilities of Foden and Rashford, the bet on Kane to score assisted by either Foden or Rashford appears to be a very good value at 2/1.
Another Spotless Win For The Three Lions
Given the strength of England’s attack and the solidity of their defence, a 2-0 victory for England seems plausible. A clean sheet reflects the strength of England’s defence, and a two-goal margin is a testament to their attacking prowess. We expect that England will control the game from the onset and maintain their defensive solidity.
