England vs Italy is one of the most heated encounters one could look forward to during the tournament’s group stages, so we will bring you a run down on how the current odds on the match represent the majority’s predictions.

Although the Azzurri do have a tendency to perform better than their Anglo counterparts during these tournaments, the odds in place do not overly favour the Italians over the English.

Whilst Italy are favoured to emerge as victors from the match with odds of 2.40, a slight underdog victory for the Three Lions is not far away from reality with odds of 3.00. Meanwhile the odds of the encounter ending as a draw are set at 3.10. As far as betting goes, this match is a must watch, as although the Azzurri are tipping the odds, this could end up being an encounter fought until the last minute.

The range between an Italian victory or an English victory starts increasing when we enter the scoreline predictions. A 1-0 victory for Italy is set with odds of 5.75 whereas an England victory with the same scoreline is set with odds of 6.65. This is followed with a 2-0 victory set at 9.85 for the Italians and 12.50 for the English. A 1-1 draw between the two is set with odds of 5.50, meaning that this scoreline is the one which is predicted the most.

As can be seen, only slight numbers tip the Azzurri as potential winners, yet other patterns suggest that the majority predict a draw with a goal each between the two.
