England vs Australia Betting Odds | Nations Championship

The Nations Championship continues on Sunday, 8th November, as England takes on Australia in Round 4. Sunday’s game kicks off at 15:10 UK time at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, London.

This is the first edition of the biennial Nations Championship, which has brought together 12 rugby teams from the Six Nations and Rugby Championship, along with Fiji and Japan. It pits the northern and southern hemisphere sides against each over six rounds, which will culminate into the Finals Weekend, followed by the Grand Final.

Currently, England is third in the northern hemisphere table with 2 wins and 1 loss (10 points). Australia is also placed third in the southern hemisphere table with 1 win and 2 losses (8 points).

In the last 5 years, the two teams have met six times. England won four of these fixtures while Australia won two.

England vs Australia Betting Odds

7bet offers competitive betting odds for all Nations Championship matches. 

Before placing any wager, we suggest taking some time to understand how each market works, what the odds mean, and how returns are calculated.

Please note that the odds mentioned below are accurate as of the publishing time of the article.

1×2 Odds

The 1X2 wager is one of the simplest markets in rugby betting. It covers three possible outcomes: 

• England (1) wins
• The match draws (X)
• Australia wins (2)

If you examine the England vs Australia betting odds in the 1X2 market, the odds are 4/11 for England, 25/1 for a draw, and 9/4 for Australia. In fractional odds, the denominator is the bet amount, and the numerator is the expected return. This means a successful bet on England will pay £4 return for every £11 wagered. Correctly predicting Australia’s win at 9/4 odds pays £9 for every £4 bet, and a draw pays £25 for every pound. Stakes on winning bets are also refunded.

Upon simplifying the odds, bets on England pay £0.36, while bets on Australia pay £2.25 per pound. This means bookmakers consider England to be stronger in this fixture, which is why bets on this team pay a low return. When an outcome is considered more likely, it is given “short” odds. On the other hand, teams with a low chance of winning are given “long” odds, which pay more, but are less likely to be successful.

However, this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t bet on Australia. They won their last match at Twickenham in 2024. Moreover, England is currently facing a scrum-half problem after two injured players were ruled out of Sunday’s match. So, make sure to research both teams’ form before placing your bets. You can also consider safer markets like Handicap or Over/ Under for a favourable return.

Match Winner Odds

Rugby matches rarely end in draws because of how the scoring works. England and Australia have never had a draw in all their 35 head-to-head matches. So, if you want to remove the option of a draw, choose the match winner bet for better probability.

Total (Over/Under) Odds

In this market, bettors have to predict whether the combined score will be over or under the line set by the bookmaker. For this fixture, the default betting line is set at Over/Under 57.5, but it can be adjusted between Over/Under 55.5 and 59.5.

In the above example, an Over 57.5 bet pays if the combined total is 58 or higher. An Under 57.5 bet pays if the combined total is 57 or lower. For example, a score like 29–24 will pay for the Under 57.5 market, while a score like 35–24 will pay for the Over 57.5 bet.

In their last five matches, England averaged a score of 30.6, while the Wallabies averaged 27.4. This brings their combined average total to 58.0, which is slightly above the 57.5 betting line. Their combined average from the last 5 head-to-head matches is 86.7. Use this data when considering the England vs Australia odds in the Over/Under market.

You can also consider similar markets like England total, Australia total, and first half total.

Handicap Betting Odds

A handicap bet is designed to give an advantage or headstart to your chosen team. For this fixture, all handicaps are negative for England and positive for Australia. So, this could be a safe market if you want to bet on the Wallabies.

Note that the final outcome of the handicap depends on points margin. Here’s how different handicaps work in this fixture:

• England (-7.5) / Australia (+7.5): Bets on the Wallabies win if they win, draw, or lose by a margin of 14 points. For example, a final score of 33–19 will be adjusted to 25.5–26.5, and bets on Australia will win. England will need to win by a margin of 16 points to overcome the gap, like 33–17 (25.5–24.5).
• England (-5.5) / Australia (+5.5): Bets on the Wallabies win if they win, draw, or lose by a margin of 10 points. 
• England (-10.5) / Australia (+10.5): Bets on the Wallabies win if they win, draw, or lose by a margin of 20 points. 

There’s also a 1×2 variation of this bet, where you can bet which team will win based on a fixed starting score. For this fixture, only one starting score of 0–8 is available.

Outright Winner Odds

In this market, bettors can pick the team they believe will lift the trophy on 29th November at Twickenham. There are 12 counties in the tournaments, so the Nations Championship betting field is wide.

However, you should note that odds are dynamic. They are constantly updated throughout the competition as results start coming in. If a team with long odds wins a match, you can expect their odds to shorten. Even injury news changes the odds. So, take this bet early to lock in the best odds.
