England take on Norway in a friendly at Wembley tonight, 8pm kick-off, ahead of their Euro 2016 qualifier against Switzerland next week.Sky Bet - the official bookmaking partners of the Albion - have made Roy Hodgson's side their 4/9 odds-on favourites, with Norway 13/2 and the Draw 10/3.
England are regularly under-priced for outright match betting, but there is still value to be found among the other markets available for the match.

Take the half-time/full-time market for example. If England are truly 4/9 to win the match then they should take the lead in the first half and hold it until the end. The odds for England/England are a much more attractive looking 5/4.If you expect goals tonight, then the 5/2 for there to be "more than 3.5 goals" is a tad overpriced, but the Draw/England represents huge value at 10/3.
Selecting a goalscorer in a friendly is always a little trickier than in a competitive match. Until he rolled his ankle in training Danny Wellbeck was looking interesting @ 13/2, but the new Arsenal acqusition now looks likely to play no part in the match.
This leaves us looking further down the lists for value and settling on probable starter Jack Wilshere at 16/1.
Good luck and happy punting!
