Switzerland have some injuries will try and counter attack and will use it as preparation for euro 2008. Providing England is able to execute what capello and the fans expect it could be a good night for England.

Taking into account 15 out of the last 20 games both sides have played home an away have gone over 2.5 and along with Capello being determined to get off to a good start I have gone with Over 2.5 at 2.18.

2-1 60th minute
