Australia are the team to back when it comes to winning The Ashes once again. They have taken the urn in their last four series against England, with the last iteration of the contest seeing the sides share a 2-2 draw. They currently lead the series 2-0 after two Tests. 

England will feel they can ruffle a few feathers, but they have struggled in Australia. Indeed, their last three series in Australia have seen England fail to get a win on the board, losing 5-0, 4-0 and 4-0 in 2013/14, 2017/18 and 2021/22 respectively. 

Meanwhile, the draw is the underdog in the betting, with the odds suggesting the series will not be shared this time.

The odds suggest that Australia are the side to back in this series, with a 5-0 win for the home side the most likely result this time round. The most likely England win is a 3-2 series triumph according to the odds following their big defeats in the first two Tests. 

It is worth noting that the last two series in England have ended in 2-2 draws, while the last two series in Australia have ended in 4-0 wins for the Aussies.

Joe Root climbed into contention to score the most runs this series after finally scoring his first Test century in Australia. His score of 138 not out may not have helped England to victory in the second Test, but he silenced the doubters with a stunning knock. 

Travis Head remains the player to back according to the odds, but both Root and Steve Smith are also in contention. Marnus Labuschagne, Zak Crawley and Harry Brook make up the other prominent options.

With the ball in hand, the top wicket-taker list for the series is dominated by the quicks. The big name in the betting right now is Mitchell Starc, with the Aussie quick taking 18 wickets after just two Tests. 

The conditions down under will give a lot of help to quicker bowlers, which is why England will hope they can contest with Archer, Brydon Carse, Gus Atkinson and Josh Tongue all able to bowl quickly.
