Italy missed World Cup in Qatar, so they don't want to miss another big competition. The European qualification group with England, Ukraine, North Macedonia, and Malta is not easy, but Italy should be among the two best teams. Italy last matches had last November when they won against Albania and lost vs Austria in two friendlies.
Italy have a good defense. They allowed only three goals in the last four matches. Also, three of those four games went under 2.5 goals.
England were one of the favorites to win the World Cup, but they finished the competition in the quarterfinal after a loss against France. Before that loss, they were on the run of five games without a loss. England are probably the best team in this qualification group, so we should expect them to have their place in Germany next year.
England are good defensively too. They allowed only two goals in the last four matches.
Italy and England had many h2h matches in history. The last five games between the two teams finished with two or fewer goals. In the previous h2h game, Italy won 1-0 at home.
Italy vs England pick: Under 2.5 goals
Both these teams are very good in defense, so under 2.5 goals should be the right bet for this match.

Italy Team News
Italian head coach Roberto Mancini had some problems with the squad. Absent due to injuries are Alessandro Bastoni, Giacomo Raspadori, and Guglielmo Vicario due to injuries.
Mancini called three uncapped players Wladimiro Falcone, Alessandro Buongiorno, and Mateo Retegui.
The most interesting is Retegui, who was born in Argentina, but holds dual citizenship, so Mancini called him. He scored six goals in eight matches for Tigre this season.

England Team News
Gareth Southgate, England's head coach, didn't change his team too much since the World Cup.
The biggest change is that Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold is not in the squad. He is having a very bad season, so some other players will get the chance.
