While Saturday's affair between England and Brazil may only be a friendly, don’t let that fool you: these two sides would love to get one over the other and a packed-out Wembley Stadium will be desperate to see England beat the world’s most famous and loved international team.

With just two games left before the squad is picked for England’s Euro 2024 odds campaign, there’ll be plenty of players hoping to impress manager Gareth Southgate. Read more in our England vs. Brazil free betting picks to find out.

England vs Brazil picks and predictions

One of the headlining fixtures of this final international break before this summer's Euro 2024 tournament is England taking on Brazil at Wembley this Saturday, an always iconic fixture. 

In reality, this isn't a vintage Brazilian side and England have gone 20 games unbeaten at Wembley. One of the biggest reasons for that English success and why this side is competitive in every game they play is Jude Bellingham, who we’re backing to score at a juicy +370 price. 

It's mindblowing to think he's still just 20 years old. He's already played in one tournament for his country, starred at Borussia Dortmund, and has now become Real Madrid’s best player.

To go into a club that size and become the main man shows not only his incredible talent but his self-belief and desire to lead his teams. He’s already one of England’s leaders at a young age but with Harry Kane established as the captain and chief goal scorer, Bellingham hasn’t quite made this his team yet. That will change on Saturday. 

It's been reported Harry Kane is set to miss this game thanks to an ankle injury he picked up playing for Bayern Munich — he’s now focusing on playing next week’s game against Belgium. That gives Jude the chance to step up and lead this team, both vocally and on the attack.

It's not clear if it will be Ollie Watkins or Ivan Toney down the middle for England, but either way, it’ll mean more chances for Bellingham to get into goal-scoring positions. He’s put up exceptional numbers at Real Madrid this season playing in the 10 role and that's where he should be operating on Saturday.

He's racked up 16 goals in just 22 La Liga games and has added four more in six UCL games. He's constantly finding dangerous pockets to attack defenses and is playing with such confidence that he’s not afraid to take on any opportunities.

This is a huge price, especially considering his clinical form of late.

My best bet: Jude Bellingham to score (+370 at TonyBet)

Jude Bellingham to score

Endrick to score

England to win

In addition to backing Jude Bellingham to score, we'll add Brazil’s brightest young talent Endrick to score too. The 17-year-old has been praised as the best young talent to emerge from Brazil since Neymar and has even drawn comparisons to the great Pele.

He’s already signed an agreement to join Bellingham at Real Madrid once he’s turned 18 and is a player that many fans at Wembley will be excited to see in the flesh for the first time.

It’s not clear whether he’ll start or come from the bench but I see him scoring his first international goal in his third cap. Despite his age, he's scored 14 times in 38 games for Palmeiras and will fancy his chances against an England team that's weakest on defense.

For all the debate around manager Gareth Southgate, he’s turned England into a confident, winning machine. The 20-game unbeaten spell at Wembley shows that and they’ll be motivated to beat a team with such an esteemed reputation. This Brazil team isn’t a bad one by any means, but they’re not packed with stars like previous generations making an England victory likely.

England vs Brazil side and Over/Under analysis

England are -109 favorites and as mentioned above, they should win. They have the superior lineup — even without Bukayo Saka and potentially Harry Kane — and they have a great record at Wembley.

You can never rule out Brazil but +270 isn’t a big enough price to consider them, especially with the England team playing with confidence and having so many attacking options. The draw at +245 is probably a better bet if you think Brazil might surprise some or that England could falter.

The total goals market is fairly even, with Over 2.5 goals at -107 and Under 2.5 goals at -130. The Over is the better value play with neither team possessing an incredible defense and both sides having strong attacking units. That should ensure goals.
