Saturday 7.45pm: Andorra v England

I think the first thing that I have to tell everybody is, watch out for the team. That’s going to be so important when you place your bets. I think it’s in the players scoring where we’re going to get some value, but let’s look at it, and let’s have a look at Andorra’s games in September.

They just lost 2-1 away against Hungary who, we were all saying how good they were at the Euros. England beat them 4-0 and they actually won against San Marino 2-0. I’m not trying to build them up to be a wonder nation but England beat Hungary 4-0.

England will, I’m quite sure, change their team. I’m still going for a resounding England win. I know it was only 4-0 at Wembley but there’s a mentality, even when you go to these smaller teams that they think, ‘We’ve got a chance here at a 1-0 victory.’

So, they do tend to change their mindset but I’m going England 5-0 in this one. I do think the value it going to come in the goal scorers. England are certainly going to Win to Nil. I would like to think there’s going to be at least five goals in this game.

The question is who’s going to be playing in this game, Tammy Abraham has been brought in, Ollie Watkins is there but there’s no Dominic Calvert-Lewin. I don’t think Gareth Southgate will risk Harry Kane for this game, I really don’t.

I do think Raheem Sterling will play and that’s where my money’s going. If people are looking to get a bet before the teams are announced, because he’s not been used much by Manchester City. I do think Raheem Sterling will start.

My bet is Raheem Sterling to Score 2 or More Goals and that’s where I think that is where the value is. So, Raheem Sterling, the correct score bet as well, but I think there’ll be value in him getting a brace.
