England vs Australia Bet Builder Tips
James Maddison should be given the nod as one of Harry Kane's supply lines, but we fancy him to score his first international goal instead.
The 26-year-old has been a dynamite addition to this new-look Tottenham team under Ange Postecoglou, finding the net twice in addition to assisting his teammates on five occasions already.
Although the creative midfielder has always been viewed as more of a provider than a finisher, he's now playing for top-level teams on both the club and international stages.
In eight Premier League games for Spurs, Maddison has registered 23 attempts, 13 of which have hit the target.
He's sure to let more efforts fly on Friday against a side who are 23 places below England in the current FIFA rankings.
Having emerged as a real goalscoring force in his predominantly attacking-based role for Real Madrid, we're flipping the script and backing Jude Bellingham to assist in an England shirt.
Jude has contributed three assists from 10 games for his new club in Spain, lending real weight to the 11/2 single with bet365 for him to provide at least one assist in this friendly.
Like Maddison, the jump in quality of the players surrounding Bellingham is bringing out the best in the 20-year-old.
Gareth Southgate will take every opportunity he gets to play his new star midfielder and with an expected attack of Phil Foden, James Maddison and Harry Kane lined up before him, Jude will be licking his lips at the prospect of feeding his teammates on Friday.
