Australia vs England Preview

England head to the MCG in Victoria knowing that the pressure is on after the 4-0 test series defeat. In the lead up to the ODI contest, Three Lions head coach Trevor Bayliss has been grabbing the headlines saying he will step down in 2019 after the Ashes series on British soil. That can not come quick enough for some as England know they must claw back some pride. For Australia captain Steve Smith it is business as usual although the England will be fired up and ready to take the fight to the Aussies.

Australia vs England Prediction

The Baggy Greens enter the first ODI as favourites for this MCG encounter but tourists look a more formidable outfit in the shorter version of the game. In this Australia vs England preview, it is important to highlight that a shake up in the ODI squad is paramount and although the Brits continue to be without key man Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Sam Billings and the vastly experience Liam Plunkett do enter the fray giving this match a far closer appeal than many think. How England deal with the fast bowling of Josh Hazlewood remains to be seen and will be the deciding factor but after five tests, they are starting to look better. That is why the tourists are one of our best Australia vs England betting tips to get that all important first win under their belts.

Australia v England Betting Tips

Online sportsbook and betting exchange Betfair always go big when the Ashes rolls around and this year is no different. With a host of different markets and ability to lay, you will never go far wrong with this trusted British bookmaker. England may have lost the test series 4-0 but they had opportunities in the second and fourth tests to have won and then the picture would have looked somewhat different. We stand by our Australia vs England prediction above as with the big hitting ability of Buttler and experience of Plunkett, the Touring team will eradicate those errors which should not have occurred in the longer format. It will however be a tense affair, but Australia will still be on cloud nine and let this one slip allowing their old nemesis to claw back at least some pride from a dismal tour so far enabling the One Day International betting odds to close somewhat.

In a two-horse race, we have found a superb offer from Unibet on England to edge the opening partnership with the bat over their illustrious counterparts. The three lions ODI captain Eoin Morgan is well rested and on his day is one of the best batsmen and more than capable if hitting a ton with speed and efficiency. Granted, Australia captain Steve Smith has looked simply unbeatable with the bat in the test series, but limited overs cricket is a completely different kettle of fish as highlighted in our best ODI betting tips. Smith could do with a break and may be happy to pass the batting responsibilities over to David Warner allowing their rivals a golden opportunity to break their duck and get off to a fast start. The opening five overs will be critical and of course who wins the toss. At Unibet’s odds, it is worth a toss of a coin.
