Saturday football tips: England and Ireland bidding to build on promise

There is something for everyone on Saturday and many will be hoping to see a positive performance from England in their international friendly with Switzerland at Wembley.

Ireland are also in non-competitive action as they host Belgium, while Spain, Germany, Croatia, Netherlands and Denmark also make an appearance.

If international friendlies aren't your thing then there are plenty of games taking place in League One and League Two.

Ireland v Belgium

Sky Sports Premier League, 5pm Saturday

Despite Belgium's inexperience for this friendly, there are still a wealth of attacking options for Roberto Martinez to choose from and the team ranked top in the world should prove too strong. However, Ireland's improved goalscoring record suggests they can notch a consolation.

Goal scorer bet of the day

Ireland v Belgium
Sky Sports Premier League, 5pm Saturday

This Belgium team is going to be far from full-strength and missing their usual stars, which ought to offer some hope to Ireland. With that in mind, a chance should be taken on Callum Robinson to get on the scoresheet. The West Brom forward has scored six of Ireland's last ten goals, which includes a hat-trick in their last friendly against Qatar. He is 7-2 to get on the scoresheet again.

Best bet
Callum Robinson to score at any time
