England vs Czechia: 13/8 Jude Bellingham odds too good to ignore for Nations League clash

Fresh off their historic 7-0 demolition of Luka Modric’s Croatia, second-placed England welcome bottom-placed Czech Republic to the Wembley Stadium in their international break’s final UEFA Nations League fixture.

Spirits are high in the English camp after their biggest-ever UNL victory, although Spain still lead the group by three points following their 3-2 win over the Three Lions on matchday one.

England visited Prague’s Fortuna Arena in the second round, beating Czechia 2-0 away after Pavel Sulc’s early red card.

Harry Kane might be the name on everyone’s lips after the Bayern Munich marksman registered his 11th consecutive goal contribution in six competitive games for club and country.

But against Croatia, one player stood out from the rest in terms of sheer technical brilliance and output: Jude Bellingham.

England vs Czechia: Back Bellingham to make a difference

Bellingham has been outstanding for both club and country in recent years, cementing himself as a versatile pivot in the heart of midfield.

The 23-year-old Real Madrid midfielder picked it up a notch against Croatia last matchday – one goal and three assists in what turned out to be a 10/10 display, a performance for the ages.

Bellingham also provided a crucial assist against Spain for Anthony Gordon’s first-half equaliser, but eventually ended up on the losing side.

He played for only 19 minutes against Czechia last week in Prague, but is expected to complete the full 90 minutes at Wembley.

At 13/8 (2.62), backing Bellingham to assist his teammates for the fifth time in four encounters carries immense weight. As for scoring odds – at 11/10 (2.10), Bellingham is also a worthy fit considering the returns.

His attacking output has been outstanding, while his defensive work rate is what glues the team together in midfield. Everything points to the versatile midfielder making a difference once again for the Three Lions.   

England vs Czechia: First Wembley H2H since 2019

The last time Czechia visited England and Wembley was back in 2019, when the Three Lions triumphed 5-0.

England have dominated head-to-heads, losing only once in their last seven matchups.

Six of England’s last seven UNL games featured over 2.5 goals, while Czechia have conceded two or more goals in eight consecutive League A fixtures. Moreover, Czechia showed they can penetrate through defences as they netted a consolation in their recent 3-1 defeat to Spain.

Backing BTTS – Yes & Over 2.5 total goals at 21/10 (3.10) is a no-brainer in terms of dividends.
