England's recent form means they are a short price with online betting firms to beat Belarus.
Online betting firms have made England odds-on favourites to win Wednesday's World Cup qualifier in Belarus.The Three Lions have a 100 per cent record in competitive games since Fabio Capello became manager, but face a tough task to extend that run in Minsk.
Belarus beat the Netherlands in the Euro 2008 qualifying campaign and have subsequently drawn with Germany and Argentina in friendly internationals.

Despite those impressive results, football betting punters keen to back England will find if difficult to get a better price than 2/5.
A Belarus victory is available at 9/1 with several bookmakers, while a draw is seen as a 7/2 chance.
With the market on the outcome of the game seemingly offering little value, several online betting firms are concentrating on other England-related wagers.
William Hill offers 2/1 that former skipper David Beckham will not make it off the bench, while those who foresee a Theo Walcott hat-trick in Minsk can get 180/1 at 888 Sport, and Skybet offers 6/4 that Steven Gerrard will start all seven of the remaining World Cup qualifiers.
