Friday 13 February 2009 at 12:52
 England face a crunch tie against early on Saturday evening and whilst bookies think that Wales are pretty much certs to win the game English fans will be hoping for an upset to boost their Six Nations claims.
Wales v England Betting
Wales are just 1/4 with Stan James, William Hill and Coral to defeat England and continue as favourites towards the Grand Slam. Wales are 10/3 with Paddy Power to achieve the Grand Slam. England are a massive 22/1 with Sportingbet to get the Grand Slam and their chances are expected to be dashed this weekend, England are as big as 4/1 with Sportingbet to beat Wales. Bet365 and Paddy Power are offering 10/1 that this match is the highest scoring game of the Six Nations.
Wales And England Two Of The Top Teams
Wales remain the 5/4 favourites to win the Six Nations with Bet365, Paddy Power and SkyBet whilst England are relatively unfancied as fourth favourites at 7/1 with Blue Square and Totesport. If Wales do win the Six Nations as many expect, English fans could profit by backing England to finish second to Wales in a straight forecast. Wales to finish first and England to finish second is 8/1 with SkyBet.
Highest Scoring Team And Top Tryscoring Team
Wales are also expected to be the highest scoring team at 7/4 with Totesport but England are a bit more fancied in this market, they are 4/1 with Totesport, as are France. Ireland are just behind France at 15/8 with Totesport. The top tryscoring team has a similar make up, Wales are 7/4 favourites with Stan James, Ireland are 11/4 with Stan James and England and France are both 7/2 with Stan James.
What If Wales Fail?
If Wales do fail to live up to their odds then it seems most likely Ireland will take advantage, they are 9/4 with Bet365 and William Hill to win the Six Nations. They are the only other side apart from Wales and England that can win the Grand Slam, they are 4/1 with SkyBet and Ladbrokes whilst no Grand Slam is 8/11 with Sportingbet. The betting for the Six Nations is completed by France who are 6/1 with Ladbrokes, Scotland who are 66/1 with Totesport and Italy who are 500/1 with Paddy Power.
