Harry Kane Anytime Goalscorer (+110)

England will be hoping to show further progress from their near misses at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, as well as their Euro 2020 final disappointment to Italy by going all the way here. They managed to qualify for the World Cup in comfortable circumstances as they topped Group I with 26 points from ten matches ahead of the likes of Poland, Albania, Hungary, Andorra, and San Marino.

Three Lions superstar Harry Kane was the top scorer in European World Cup qualifying with 12 goals to his name, sharing this title with Memphis Depay of the Netherlands. The 29-year-old is just two goals behind Wayne Rooney’s record of 53 goals in the race to become England’s all-time top scorer. This will give the Tottenham striker added motivation.

Four years ago, Kane finished as the top scorer with six goals in Russia 2018 to win the World Cup Golden Boot. He is enjoying a great season with Spurs with 12 goals scored in 15 Premier League games and we expect him to continue his goalscoring form in Qatar. That’s why we will include him in our soccer picks and parlays as he is priced at +110 to score against Iran.

England to score a penalty (+350)

England have lost their opening group fixture at the World Cup in just three of their previous 15 campaigns. We expect them to attack from the first minute of the game against Iran and win this clash. On the other side, Iran will definitely have a defensive approach with 11 players behind the ball.

The ‘park the bus’ approach will mean that England will have at least 65 percent possession and try to bring many balls inside the box. They are packed with creative players, who are great one-on-one so if you’re betting online you should expect them to be given a penalty. On top of that, we expect England to record many corners and they are great on aerial balls. Let’s not forget that we will have VAR (video assistant referee) at the World Cup. Harry Kane is taking England’s penalties and he doesn’t miss them.

England Half-Time/Full-Time (Ev)

Raheem Sterling and Phil Foden are the frontrunners for the three-man attack, while Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice have proven a solid partnership in the middle of the park and could be flanked by Luke Shaw and Kieran Trippier.

They are by far the most entertaining team in the group. The Three Lions scored three goals in the last attempt and they scored at least twice in most of the games before Nations League. England are expected to field their strongest possible line-up for match day one. Despite poor form in recent internationals, the European Championship runners-up have proven themselves strong in tournaments and are justifiably favorites to win. They will try to make their game easy and win from half-time and that’s priced at even money according to the latest soccer odds.

Their strength in depth, especially in the attacking areas, makes them almost unplayable at times, and if they hit the ground running in Qatar, then they almost certainly will have too much firepower for Iran. The ‘visitors’ have never progressed beyond the group stages of any of their previous World Cups but England shouldn’t underestimate them.
