International Friendly betting - Brazil vs England

England and Brazil both travel to Qatar to face each other in an international friendly building up to next year`s World Cup in South Africa. The teams are rated very highly and are in the top three favourites for the tournament, both qualifying top of their groups. Brazil have failed to win either of their last two games, losing in Bolivia and most recently drawing 0-0 with Venezuela, but before that they won eleven matches in a row and will be glad for a chance to get back to winning ways. England will be eager to test themselves against such a good side, as there is always a feeling that they struggle against top quality opposition.

Brazil are favourites for the game at 5/4 (bet $40 to win $50 profit), leaving England as underdogs at 12/5. The draw is also priced at 12/5. Last time the teams met it was England who came out on top, however, with John Terry heading in a David Beckham free kick at Wembley Stadium.

The two teams are seen as being very close, and a 1-1 draw has been made the most likely result for the game at 6/1. 1-0 to Brazil is priced at 15/2, just ahead of 1-0 to England at 17/2. A goalless draw is at 9/1, and this can never be ruled out with Brazil manager Dunga`s defensive tactics.

Luis Fabiano of Sevilla is favourite to open the scoring at 11/2, ahead of Wayne Rooney and Nilmar at 7/1. Also at 7/1 is Porto striker Hulk, in the form of his career and hoping to win his first ever cap for Brazil against England tonight. Real Madrid superstar Kaka is 8/1 to score the first goal but Frank Lampard, at 9/1, has pulled out of the England squad due to injury.

Brazil are 14/5 to be winning at both half-time and full-time tonight and 9/2 to win after drawing at half-time. Both halves to be drawn is at 4/1 and England are 11/2 to lead at both the interval and the final whistle. They are 7/1 to win after being level at half-time.

Five-time World Cup winners Brazil are second favourites to life the trophy again next year at 5/1. England, however, are right behind them and are next most likely at 13/2.
