England have a better record on their travels since the new Wembley was opened in 2007. Beginning with a 1-1 draw against Brazil in June 2007, England have won 21 of 31 matches at Wembley, a ratio of 67.7 per cent. Away from home they have won 16 out of 23 — 69.6 per cent. In qualifiers it is a 73.3 per cent win rate at home compared with 75 per cent away. The goals scored per game is better at home — 2.39 as opposed to 2.04 — but the number conceded improves away, 0.81 versus 0.78. England have lost one of their last 12 away qualifiers.
