England’s 1-1 draw with France wasn’t pleasing on the eye, although the point provides a platform and we think the Three Lions can build on this when they play Sweden.

It’s perfectly possible that England and France will emerge as the two better teams in Group D and Roy Hodgson’s side will take a massive step towards the quarter finals if they win this contest.

Here are the top 5 bets for England v Sweden:

1) England to win @ 6/5 with BetVictor

Bettingpro readers can claim £100 in exclusive free bets when they register with BetVictor and the same bookie has the best odds on England winning on Friday. This price might not last long with a general feeling that the Three Lions can be really aggressive against a Swedish side who conceded twice against Ukraine and it could have been a lot more.

2) England to win 1-0 and 2-0 @ 13/2 (BetVictor) and 10/1 (Paddy Power)

The England defence was breached by Samir Nasri on Monday but we’re not expecting Sweden to have much joy on this front, even if the excellent Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be a handful for John Terry. The team’s strength is their defence, with Glen Johnson and Ashley Cole possibly the best full-back combination at Euro 2012 and the same argument can be extended to Joe Hart in goal.

3) Danny Welbeck to score first @ 7/1 with Sportingbet

You can get a risk-free £50 bet on Welbeck if you open up a Sportingbet account for this game which means either a £350 profit or a refund! The Manchester United man played well against France and should get plenty more service, with Steven Gerrard likely to advance further up the match – something he couldn’t do against Les Bleus.

4) Under 2.5 Goals @ 7/10 with BetVictor

Roy Hodgson clearly wants his team to be built on strong defensive organisation and, with an England clean sheet on the cards, it makes sense to plump for a low goal count. While it’s a match that Sweden will also want to win, a point could still give them a chance to progress by beating France in their final match.

5) Draw HT England FT @ 9/2 with BetVictor

Hard to be too confident about England leading at the interval considering it might take them a while to get a rhythm going and it’s likely that Sweden will field a holding player on this occasion which might break up any early attacks before the game gets stretched.
