Ah. The international break. Every football fan's favourite time of year, if said football fan is an absolute sadist.

International football is a vital part of the sport, sure, but the seemingly never-ending breaks for random friendlies in the middle of the season tends to leave a lot to be desired, particularly when England are involved.

However, this international friendly could be far from the suggested namesake of the fixture as two local rivals in England and Wales prepare to square off on Thursday evening.

England should be able to make their way past this encounter with relative ease.

Since losing 3-1 to Senegal in a shock result at the City Ground in the last friendly fixture The Three Lions played back in June, Thomas Tuchel's side responded suitably with a professional enough 2-0 win over Andorra at Villa Park, and a 5-0 thrashing of Serbia away from home which has helped them sit top of Group K in the UEFA World Cup qualifiers with a perfect record of five games, five wins and five clean sheets.

Though the football hasn't exactly been hugely exciting under Tuchel thus far, they have displayed a quality of taking charge of matches and keeping their opponents at arms length (ignoring their dismal display in Nottingham). With that in mind, England should take charge and come home with the win. England have managed to find a goal in both halves in four of the six games played under Tuchel's lead so far, and could be on hand to do so again against a Wales side unlikely to prioritise the game.

On that last point, despite the local grudge between these two nations, Wales are unlikely to give everything towards a friendly affair against England considering their fixture against Belgium the following Monday that could have huge implications on their World Cup aspirations for the end of the season. So we don't expect Craig Bellamy's side to offer too high of a threat to England tomorrow evening, giving value to the flip side of the Both Teams to Score market.

Marcus Rashford has been in rude form since his move to Barcelona on loan from Manchester United this summer, notching eight goal contributions from his last nine showings for the Catalan giants, including a goal from the spot in that 5-0 win over Serbia.

Furthermore, the 27-year-old has 12 shots on target from his last eight appearances in all competitions for club and country, and has looked re-discover that explosive attacking spark that saw him so highly regarded during his early days. He also got two shots on target in his last England appearance as well. So, assuming he starts, Rashford would be an astute pick for a pop at goal.

In similarly good form is one Harry Kane. The England captain has been in a ridiculous mood for Bayern Munich so far this season, notching an absurd 15 goals from his last 10 showings. He was on the money in his last appearance under Tuchel as well, netting the opener in the big win over Serbia. He's inevitable at times, and we expect him to be on hand again against Wales.

The Over 2.5 Goals market has paid out in three of England's last six matches, and four of Wales'. With that in mind, expect there to be a few goals in this one as Tuchel continues to get more out of his Three Lions side.
