- HOME: 9/1 (10.00) – 10%
- DRAW: 6/1 (7.00) – 14.3%

Player to watch – Harry Kane
Harry Kane marked his 100th appearance for England in typically impactful style in midweek when he notched twice against Finland and the veteran striker should return to club football brimming with confidence as a result.
Kane can register again
Kane scored an incredible 44 goals in 45 appearances for Bayern Munich in all competitions last season and the 31-year-old will be targeting a similar haul in 2024/25. Kane is an anytime goalscorer option with excellent credentials again this weekend.
