England return to competitive action on Friday evening when they travel to Crete to face Greece and here are William Hill’s FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027 European qualifying play-off predictions.
The prices leave little doubt over the expected outcome, with England just 1/33 to win, while Greece are a huge 150/1 and the draw is 12/1.
The goals market also points towards an entertaining evening, with Over 5.5 goals priced at 4/5 and Under 5.5 at 17/20.
The Prediction
England are the overwhelming 1/33 favourites and should have too much quality for Greece across the 90 minutes.
The bigger question is whether they can turn their dominance into the six or more goals required to land the 4/5 Over 5.5 price.
Prediction: England to win and Over 5.5 goals at 4/5.
The 11/2 Price Boost on Greece to lead at any time provides an alternative bigger-price angle, but England remain the clear selection to take control of the tie.
England the overwhelming favourites
England go into the first leg as the overwhelming selection at 1/33, reflecting the gulf between the two sides in experience and recent competitive pedigree.
This will be the first ever meeting between the countries, with England having won 34 and drawn seven of their previous 41 matches against opponents they had never faced before. They also scored 13 goals during their six-match qualifying campaign, finishing second behind Spain in League A.
Greece, meanwhile, have never qualified for a major tournament and this is only their second play-off tie to reach a World Cup or European Championship.
That makes the 1/33 England price unsurprising, with the bigger question being how many goals they can score rather than whether they can secure victory.
Price Boost: Greece to lead at 11/2
There is an interesting Price Boost available on the match, with Greece Women to lead at any time boosted to 11/2 from 9/2.
It offers a significantly bigger price for Greece to find themselves ahead at some stage, although England remain overwhelmingly expected to control the contest.
Greece have actually made a perfect start to their World Cup qualifying campaign, winning all four of their matches against the Faroe Islands and Georgia.
That record could give them confidence despite the enormous difference in the outright prices.
Six goals the key line
The Over 5.5 goals price of 4/5 is particularly eye-catching given England’s status as such strong favourites.
England have demonstrated their ability to produce big scorelines against lower-ranked opposition in recent years, while they will be looking to establish a commanding advantage before the second leg at home.
Under 5.5 goals is 17/20, making the market finely balanced around the six-goal mark.
With England expected to dominate possession and create plenty of opportunities, the possibility of the game opening up if the first goal arrives early makes Over 5.5 an intriguing angle.
