Long shot: England to win by 8-14

Betting Preview

Both teams will come into this contest pretty banged up after their first game in the competition, with injuries likely to force both teams to change their tactical approach.

Indeed, after opening losses, both may have been looking to switch things anyway, but now they’ve been forced to.

Fiji will be without Semi Radradra and Tim Hoyt for the remainder of the Nations Championship, as both were forced to leave the field during Fiji's match against Wales. Both are likely to be out for six weeks, forcing head coach Senirusi Seruvakula to look elsewhere.

Still, Fiji will be looking to showcase the same attacking display they put on against Wales, having started quickly.

Pita-Gus Sowakula started well, but the team folded in the second half as discipline and unforced errors proved their undoing.

England will be without Cadan Murley and Beno Obano, with George Furbank also out. England enter the game on a five-game losing run, leaving head coach Steve Borthwick under significant pressure.

This could be something to keep an eye on in this game, as he’ll be expecting a reaction from his team with his job potentially on the line.

It may not help that Freddie Steward is a doubt after rolling his ankle against the Springboks last week.

Betting Markets to Watch

Despite the poor form that England have been in, they are big favourites to win . So much so, better value may be found in alternative markets.

The handicap line has value in Fiji (+20.5) if you think they can replicate their performance against Wales and keep England on their toes. They started quickly last week, which could catch Borthwick’s men off guard, especially as they are under pressure and expected to dominate.

The Under 62.5 points total also has value as a close game could be on the cards. While England are expected to roll Fiji over, their opponents have shown they are there to play and will want to prove to everyone watching that they can compete.
