Ukraine vs England Bet Builder Tips

James Maddison 2+ Fouls, Jude Bellingham 1+ Shots On Target & England -1 Handicap

Despite being arguably the most creative figure available to England, Gareth Southgate remained reluctant to cap James Maddison for the longest time. Due to undeniable club form, the England boss has now had his hand twisted, especially given how bright the playmaker has looked since donning a Spurs shirt.

In addition to JM's tangible attacking returns, the 26-year-old is also a player you should be keeping an eye on in the fouls and card markets. Maddison has committed five fouls in his opening four games for Tottenham, meeting this line of 2+ in 50% of those fixtures. He also happened to give away two fouls the last time these two international sides met in March's 2-0 Wembley win for England, and against Malta too.

Speaking of impressing since a change in uniform: Jude Bellingham covers our next selection. Having decided his future was best fit for the white of Real Madrid, the Stourbridge-born midfielder has made his presence known in Spain by popping up with five goals in four La Liga matches already!

The 20-year-old has scored in every single outing for his new club, where he currently holds a goals per minute ratio of 71. It's incredibly doubtful he'll be able to keep this up forever, but perhaps this rich vein of goalscoring form and the seven shots on target he's registered are a sign of a more forward-thinking role for club and country.

Grabbing England on a -1 handicap is a tempting 11/10 shot in and of itself, but adding that to our existing double gives us a tasty 8/1 bet builder.

The bet has been successful in six of England's last nine matches, stretching back to World Cup Group B romping of Iran. It would also have returned a winner in this pair's March head-to-head where England looked significantly at ease with their visitors at Wembley, as well as their emphatic 4-0 EURO 2021 quarter-final victory.

For further reasoning, two of Ukraine's last three losses have been by a margin of more than one goal, suffering a 2-0 defeat to England and a 3-0 loss to Scotland in the past year.
