Bookmakers Asks: When Will Rooney Next Score?

Tonight's match is the favourite to see Rooney's next strike.

Ahead of England's Euro 2012 qualifier in Switzerland tonight (September 7th), one bookmakers has opened a market on Wayne Rooney's performance.

The Manchester United striker has not found the net for the national team for a year, including a blank at the summer's World Cup in South Africa.

Now William Hill is taking bets from online gamblers and other punters on when he will next score.

This evening's encounter in Basel is the even-money favourite, followed by England's next assignment at home to Montenegro, which has odds of 6/4.

Those looking for slightly longer odds may be interested in backing the forward to end his lean spell in November's friendly with France at 6/1, or next year's matches against Wales and Switzerland at 7/1 and 8/1 respectively.

England head into the Switzerland test on the back of a 4-0 win against Bulgaria at Wembley, which included a hat-trick from Rooney's striker partner Jermain Defoe.
