Group E of the Euro 2008 qualifying campaign got a whole lot tougher for England on the weekend as Croatia and Israel both registered away wins and Russia steamrollered minnows Andorra.
With the trip to Tallinn looming on Wednesday, Steve McClaren needs to produce a victory regardless of the performance.
England just do not look right under McClaren, and although they should scrape an unconvincing win on Wednesday, I just don't fancy them to pick up the required points in home clashes with Israel, Russia and Croatia to secure a comfortable qualification.
Croatia managed a single goal victory in Estonia and are now 1.16 to qualify and their home game with Russia on Wednesday looks like being the pivotal game in this section.
With 2 games against Russia still to come, I would take Guus Hiddink to out fox Steve McClaren every day of the week and think there is some value in laying England for qualification at 1.88
