Only Spain’s matches have seen less with 28.83. England’s matches are averaging the 2nd fewest throws per game in qualifying with 29.17 on average.
They will be able to knock the ball around with consummate ease here and it’s difficult to see Malata laying a finger on the Three Lions.Įngland are the overwhelming favourites and the handicap is set very high, so a good way to get complete domination on side is by backing under 31.5 throws in the match. Gareth Southgate’s side are averaging 58.67% possession across their three home matches in the group so far. Malta showed great spirit in the 4-0 defeat earlier in the group but the gulf in class was far too great to bridge. They have the midfielders to dictate the pace of most games so we can expect one-way traffic when they take on the group’s whipping boys. England will dominate proceedings from start to finish.
