England vs Russia Betting Tips for a First Goalscorer

England v Russia betting tip for a first goalscorer in this Euro 2016 group B fixture on Saturday night with the best odds for our England vs Russia tip.

 

England finally get their Euro 2016 campaign kicked off against Russia on Saturday night and after months of waiting we will finally get to see the Three Lions charge towards to the trophy. Here I am looking for who I feel is going to be able to grab the first goal in the game, for either side and with good value too.

 

England vs Russia First Goalscorer Tip

 

Roy has opted with Kane and Vardy together with Rooney in behind in his most recent friendlies, it is no surprise really looking back at their seasons but against Portugal they looked a little flat and that may mean the gaffer needs to make a change to get the best out of these men.

Harry Kane – 9/2 to score first.

Harry Kane proved he wasn't a one season wonder as he walked away with the Golden Boot in the Premier League with some very classy finishes in their too. The lad is still young at only 22 years of age but plays with the maturity of a well-established striker, he is cool on the ball and able to finish from anywhere; a certain goal against Arsenal comes to mind here. He already has 17 England goals to his name at all levels and looks a threat whenever he gets on the ball, he is able to create himself a chance from nothing and hopefully he will be able to stay calm when it matters. If you look back at the league, he bagged 25 goals overall with 12 of them being the first goal in the game which does really make him one to think about.

 

Jamie Vardy – 6/1 to score first.

Jamie Vardy has been linking up with Kane under Roy of late and offers a much different style of attacker. Vardy is a scrapper of a player with pace to burn and England should be exploiting this at every chance although we have to hope that he isn't stuck out on the left wing where he is not so naturally gifted. Vardy got 24 goals in total last season with 14 of them coming first in games, he gets in behind the defence so often and smashes the ball home every time, generally giving the keeper very little chance to stop it. He has three England goals so far from friendlies but with only recently breaking in to the side he is ready to grab a goal in a competition that matters.

Sturridge 11/2 to score first, Rooney 5/1 to score first.

There are two other options I would consider for my England vs Russia betting tip for a first goalscorer on this game for England and they come in the form of Sturridge and Rooney. Sturridge seems to be the least favourite of the strikers but I don't see why, yes he has been injury prone but Klopp seems to have sorted him out for now and he is a world class striker with the ability to score from anywhere, take players on and change the game on his own. He is definitely a player to watch as in his recent interview for England he came out and warned the fans that he and the other boys are ready to go and fight. Rooney, our captain, our highest ever goalscorer is someone you cannot ignore. He is the experience, and hopefully the cool head the younger player will look to in times of need. He drags England through games time after time and there are going to be big expectations on him this time around.

As an England fan I don't need to write about a Russian first goalscorer as we are going to win every game at least 7-0. With that being said I wouldn't be doing my job for you if I didn't give you a proper opinion.

 

Artem Dzyuba – 15/2 to score first.

If anyone is going to get a goal for Russia it is going to come from their star man Dzyuba. The Zenit striker has 27 goals in total for the season so is obviously a goal scoring threat. He has eight goals in the qualifiers and will be the man who leads the line for Russia carrying the full expectations of his home nation on his shoulders. He is definitely someone to look out for as England's defence can be a little shaky at times.

 

England vs Russia Prediction for First Scorer

 

I do feel Roy is going to stick with Kane and Vardy leading the line for the Three Lions and this is mainly influencing my decision here. Kane is the better striker here and he is the favourite for this market but I believe this is good value at the odds offered. My England vs Russia first goalscorer tip is Harry Kane to score first at 9/2 with William Hill.
