England V Japan Betting Odds Have England Strong Favourites To Win Last World Cup 2010 Warm-Up
Saturday 29 May 2010 at 22:01
 England take on Japan tomorrow in their last friendly before the World Cup, giving Fabio Capello one last chance to tryout some of his players before he needs to name the final twenty-three players who will travel to South Africa to make the England World Cup Squad.
Bookmakers Convinced England Can Record Another Win Before The World Cup 2010
Despite uncertainty as to who will play in some of the key positions tomorrow, bookmakers are forecasting a comfortable victory for Fabio Capello's men with England 2/7 to win in ninety minutes with the majority of bookmakers, including Paddy Power and Skybet. Japan have lost three out of their last four internationals so may not pick up much support even at a big looking 11/1 with Bet 365 and William Hill, especially as former Celtic midfielder Shunsuke Nakamura is a major doubt for Sunday's match after injuring an ankle in training. The draw is 9/2 with Ladbrokes and could appeal to some punters if Capello concentrates on tinkering with his team more than on winning the game but England should record a comfortable victory.
Japan Could Be Mauled By The Three Lions
Japan look decidedly vulnerable to quality forward lines and have conceded three goals every time they have faced a quality side in the last year (Holland, Ghana and Serbia) as well as conceding two and three goals in two recent friendlies against the Korean Republic. With England scoring three or more goals in four out of their last six internationals, Capello's men must be a sound bet at 6/5 with Paddy Power to score three or more goals once again. For the odds-on players, over 2.5 total goals would look attractive at 8/11 with Boylesports and over 3.5 total goals is certainly not out of the question at 19/10 with Sportingbet.
Victory Over Japan Unlikely To Affect England's World Cup 2010 Odds
England are a best price of 7/1 to lift the World Cup 2010 with Ladbrokes and William Hill and even a convincing win over Japan is unlikely to see those odds shorten dramatically. However, an unconvincing performance could see Fabio Capello's men on the slide and if Japan were to claim an unlikely victory their outright World Cup 2010 odds would reduce considerably from a current best of 500/1 with Coral
