A scoreless tie between England and Ghana in the FIFA World Cup’s Group L has seen the Three Lions’ outright odds to win the competition lengthen to +650 with Lucky Rebel.

Thomas Tuchel’s men dominated for large parts of the match, however they lacked a cutting edge. They had scored in 19 consecutive competitive matches prior to Tuesday’s stalemate against the Black Stars.

Despite the result being a major disappointment, England remain in first place in Group L and are heavily favored to end of the group stage as the top seed at -800.

Furthermore, after failing to add to his two goal tally, Harry Kane’s position in the Golden Boot betting market has altered.

England World Cup Winners +650

On the face of it, failing to beat Ghana is underwhelming for Tuchel and his men, of course, however the result is unlikely to damage their chances of advancing to the knockout rounds as Group L winners.

Consequently, their odds to win the competition haven’t drastically changed.

Now at +650 to lift the title, they remain the third favorites in the market.

France (+400) and Spain (+550) are the only nations ahead of them, while Argentina (+650) are level, and Portugal (+900), Germany (+1400), Brazil (+1600), and the Netherlands (+1600) follow behind them.

Portugal’s World Cup odds were cut following a 5-0 win over Uzbekistan earlier on Tuesday.

England to Win Group L -800

As the price suggests, England are expected to claim the top seed in Group L.

They are at the summit as things stand, and despite Croatia and Panama facing off in the other Group L match later on Tuesday, they will end the second round of matches in first place regardless of their result.

This is as they are both without a point heading into the match, while England are on four, meaning they are unable to go level or surpass the Three Lions’ points tally until the final matchday.

Meanwhile, Ghana are level with the English on four points in second place – behind only on goal difference.

As long as Jude Bellingham and company defeat Panama on the final matchday, they will remain in first place and should secure a more favorable draw in the knockout rounds.

Harry Kane to Win the Golden Boot +800

Kane’s failure to score against Ghana sees his Golden Boot odds lengthen to +800.

His odds to finish as the competition’s top goalscorer have adjusted from +600.

He currently sits on two goals, with both coming against Croatia in last week’s opener.

Ahead of him in betting market are Argentina’s Lionel Messi (+175) on five goals, France’s Kylian Mbappe (+200) on four goals, and Norway’s Erling Haaland (+600) on four goals.

Kane has a strong opportunity to bounce back with a multi-goal match against Panama on Saturday, having previously netted a hat-trick against them at the 2018 edition of the FIFA World Cup.
