England vs. North Macedonia Bet Builder Tips: 9/1 shout for Monday's EURO 2024 qualifier

After a comfortable 4-0 victory over Malta, England welcome North Macedonia on home soil as the pair face off in Monday's EURO 2024 qualifier at Old Trafford.

Paddy Power are the hosts of today's 9/1 three-legged bet builder, dabbling in the shots on target and fouls markets.

The particular bet we're about to highlight was successful in the Three Lions' visit to Malta last Friday night.

For that game, Gareth Southgate replicated the recent Jurgen Klopp experiment of deploying Trent Alexander-Arnold in a midfield role, and the decision paid dividends. TAA was one of four on target for England, delivering a man of the match performance in his EURO 2024 qualifying debut.

His spectacular effort from outside the box was the pick of the bunch in their emphatic win, continuing to prove that the former right-back may be reincarnated in midfield for club and country.

The Liverpool man struck a shot on target in four of his last five matches for LFC in the close of the season, and we're backing him to record another vs North Macedonia.

Declan Rice - who should retain his place in that midfield alongside Trent - is the other player we're fancying to register a shot on target.

The West Ham skipper scored five times across two different club competitions last season, showcasing a larger appetite for goal than first anticipated. He's able to score different goals from both inside and outside of the box, registering nine shots on target in the 2022/23 Premier League campaign.

Add to that the three times he's netted while on England duty and the 6/1 on offer for him to score anytime may tempt a few. He and several others have a more versatile role in this England setup than they do during domestic duties, and the fact that Rice has registered a shot on target in two of his last three England appearances evidences this.

His attempt in the first half of the Malta qualifier was saved and shortly after led to England's penalty and third goal of the game. Monday's opponents North Macedonia have shipped four goals in two games so far, and with the low block that is likely to be adopted by North Macedonia, there are opportunities for Rice to register another here.

Finally, Harry Maguire is the player we've identified to concede two fouls. The man who has divided opinion ever since his big money move to Manchester United featured 16 times in the Premier League last season, starting just eight games. He gave away at least one foul in five of these eight and conceded 2+ on two of those occasions.

Despite his lack of playing time at club level, Gareth Southgate's opinion of the defender has not at all waned. Lately in the national jersey, Maguire made one foul vs Ukraine and met this line vs Malta by conceding two. For a team who didn't register a single shot across the 90 minutes, his desperation is quite staggering.

North Macedonia will pose a slightly more prominent threat than Malta did, and with Maguire lacking the match sharpness of his teammates, he looks a good bet to replicate the two fouls he gave away vs Malta.
