England’s fourth World Cup qualifier in Group 6 sees them take on Belarus in Minsk on Wednesday 15 October at 19:30GMT. The two sides have never played each other in a competitive fixture so there is a chance for players of both teams to enter the history books. Both Betfair and Skybet are giving away free bets to celebrate this historic match.

Belarus are currently ranked 59th in the world by FIFA but they have the ability to grind out results and dig in deep when needed. German coach, Bernd Stange has instilled belief into his team and they showed they are not pushovers when they drew 2-2 with Germany and 0-0 against Argentina, earlier this year. Belarus’ star player and captain is Aliaksandr Hleb, formerly of Arsenal and now playing his football for Barcelona. If England do not play to their full potential, Belrus could cause an upset.

England seem to be scoring goals for fun, having followed up the 4-1 win against Croatia with a 5-1 score line against minnows, Kazakhstan. Wayne Rooney seems to be a man in form, having scored his third international goal in two games and linking up well with Emile Heskey up front. Heskey is more than due a goal, having only scored five goals in 49 games, his last in the 2-1 friendly win against South Africa in 2003. If David Beckham features as expected,m he will win his 107th cap which will take him to third in the all-time England appearance league and only one away from matching Bobby Moore.

On paper, England should make light work of Belarus but there are no such things as easy games in international football. Fabio Capello’s team, who will be without Ashley Cole or John Terry, will be looking for their fourth consecutive win on Wednesday. Betfair and Skybet are offering free bets, up to the value of £20, which can be used for Belarus vs England. Free bets can be placed, at market leading odds, on betting markets such as first team to score, number of corners in the game, the Asian handicap and whether or not England can make it four wins from four games against Belarus.
