England v Italy 20:00

Next up for Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions is a home Friendly against Italy, as England continue their build-up for the up-coming World Cup Finals in Russia.

England will head into the match full of confidence after a 0-1 away win over Holland – the first time they’ve beaten the Dutch since 1996!

If you were impressed with that performance and you think England can win the World Cup then you’ll be rewarded with odds of 19.00.

They last met in 2015 and that ended 1-1, while in total they’ve played 26 times with Italy holding the slight edge with 10 wins to England’s 8 (plus 8 draws).

The last time they locked horns at Wembley (2002) that resulted in a 1-2 win for Italy so England do have a few scores to settle.

Looking at the match betting though and with home advantage and their current better overall form then it’s no surprise to see England as favourites at 2.15, with the Draw 3.30 and Italy 3.90.

What are the other key head-to-head stats? We’ve seen 3 draws in the last 7 head-to-heads, while generally when these sides meet they are low-scoring affairs.

6 of the last 9 meetings today between these sides saw UNDER 2.5 GOALS, while if we add in that ALL of England’s last 5 games went UNDER 1.5 GOALS, plus all of Italy’s last 5 games saw less than 3 goals – then every thing points to a low-scoring affair.

At 1.53 we are not going to get rich backing Under 2.5 goals but it does look a solid option. In fact, England haven’t conceded in their last 5 games and having played the likes of Holland, Germany and Brazil during that period then that’s an excellent recent clean sheet record.

Both teams ‘NOT’ to score could be another bet to have on your radar as Italy are having trouble in front of goal at the moment – they’ve netted just 1 in their last 4 – but also have a fair bit to prove having won just 1 of their last 5 games.

The safe call in the match betting market is the 2.15 on offer on England but in what is expected to be a low-scoring game then a draw is not totally ruled out – therefore, we’ll stick with the 1.53 on UNDER 2.5 GOALS – If you are feeling a bit braver, then you might opt for the 2.62 on offer on Under 1.5 goals.

JUICESTORM VERDICT: UNDER 2.5 GOALS @1.53
