Betting tips England vs Italy

In a rematch of the Euro 2020 Final, both nations come into this big fixture having struggled somewhat in recent outings with England suffering a surprise loss in Hungary and Italy beaten heavily by Argentina in the recently held Finalisima. 

Still, both nations have since regrouped with both claiming 1:1 draws with Germany while Italy edged past Hungary on Tuesday for just their 2nd win in 7 matches. 

However, the Italians have several injury problems coming into this fixture and as such, are rated as big underdogs at 4.75 odds to claim the victory.

While neither side is anywhere near top form, a competitive contest should still be expected and we like the chances of both sides scoring with both nations struggling defensively in recent fixtures.

Italy comes into this match having kept a clean sheet in just 1 of their last 9 matches (6 of those matches saw BTTS) while England have managed just 1 clean sheet in their last 4 outings.

Indeed, historically, this fixture has delivered in the goal market with each of the last 5 meetings since 2012 seeing BTTS with each of the last 3 fixtures finishing as a 1:1 draw. It should also be noted that England have won just 1 of their last 9 matches against Italy, that coming in a friendly match back in 2012.

With rotation again expected to play a factor, team news could prove vital in this contest and while we might not see a high scoring, all-action affair both sides have the quality to breach their opposing defences.

Ultimately, given their history in this fixture, it would hardly be surprising to see the spoils shared but with Italy having so many injury issues, England could edge their way to an important 3 points.

Final score 2:1
