Australia vs England Series Betting Odds - Who are the favourites to win the series?

England arrive in Australia on the back of a humiliating 52-21 loss to the Barbarians at Twickenham as Eddie Jones' men fell to yet another defeat. While this was a friendly, it only compounded a run that has seen the side also lose to France and Ireland. 

For Australia, this is a must-win game. Three defeats in a row to Wales, England and Scotland over the course of November 2021 was a rough ride for the Aussies, with their inability to gain victories something that will be hugely worrying for the side. 

The bookies have ranked Australia as the team to back in the opening Test, with the side available at $1.57 with Unibet. England are just behind their hosts at $2.50, while a draw is available at $21.00. 

The series betting odds are yet to be released, but the odds for the first Test alludes to the fact that the Aussies will also be favourites to triumph. The series itself will be incredibly tight, with the two sides in no real form at all. 

The struggles of the two nations with the 2023 World Cup looming will worry both the coaching staff and fans, with the knock-out format of the competition next year meaning it is vital that both sides are able to win games ever when they are playing poorly. 

England will target a series win, but they will likely be contented with better performances than they have been putting in of late. For Australia, a series win is vital, with the Aussies desperate to give their fans something to cheer. A series triumph would do this, but we think that the two sides will trade blows in a contest that will rock back and forth in pulsating style.
