England Vrs Portugal - World Cup Quarter Final Markets

England take on Portugal in the World Cup Quarter Finals this weekend. Bookmakers are making England the hot favourites but there are plenty of interesting markets on offer for punters.

Mansion Sportsbook have England priced up at a short 1.54 to progress to the semi finals. This would seem a more sensible bet than the straight forward win market, as the knock-out stages have a habit of being very tight games. Portugal are a more attractive 2.41 but given their suspensions and the suspect fitness of star winger Ronaldo, this also looks a little short. Better value for Portugal would be around 2/1 (3.0) so hunt around for prices if you're backing the Portugese to progress.

Bet 365 have a wider variety of markets on offer for the game. If you expect a tight game, as the majority of punters do, you may want to take a look at the correct score market. England to win 1-0 are an attractive 6/1 (7.0) whilst Portugal are 8/1 (9.0) to win by the same scoreline. A 1-1 draw is the favourite at 5/1 (6.0).

Wayne Rooney has been steadily improving during the World Cup. The Manchester United striker was today heard expressing interest in surpassing Brazilian Ronaldo's goal scoring record, despite the fact he has yet to get off the mark in a World Cup game. Rooney in confident mood must be a worry for Portugal but should provide an opportunity for goal scorer market followers. How about Wayne Rooney to score first and England to win 1-0 at a huge 22/1 (23.0)? Or can captain Beckham save the day again? You'll find 55/1 (56.0) on offer for the same bet.

The game kicks off at 4pm GMT on Saturday.
