England vs Italy Odds

England Team News

England is in the best position in Group C after six rounds, currently sitting at the top with thirteen points, three more than Italy and Ukraine, although Ukraine has played one more game. Furthermore, England has the most favorable remaining fixtures, as after the match against Italy, they will face Malta and North Macedonia.

The “Three Lions” have recorded four wins at the beginning of the qualifiers, defeating Italy in Naples, Ukraine, and North Macedonia at home, along with a triumph in Malta. Their only draw came during an away game against Ukraine. With a victory against Italy, England would mathematically secure their place in EURO2024. We believe that this will be the team’s primary goal entering the match at Wembley, especially considering the opportunity for revenge against Italy for their loss in the previous European Championship final.

Italy Team News

Unlike England, Italy finds itself in a somewhat stricter position since they currently have the same points as the third-placed Ukraine but with one game in hand. However, a loss at Wembley would put them in a situation where they cannot afford to lose in their final match when they visit Ukraine.

After an initial defeat to England, Italy secured three victories, including two wins against Malta and, most importantly, a 2:1 win against Ukraine. However, Italy made a significant misstep by playing to a 1:1 draw away against North Macedonia, conceding a late goal. This kind of mistake could cost them dearly at the end of the qualifiers.

Italy had an excellent warm-up for the match against England on Saturday, defeating Malta 4:0. Nevertheless, it’s essential to consider that the gap in quality between Malta and England is immeasurable, and there’s no doubt that Italy will face an exceptionally tough task against a motivated host on Tuesday.

England vs Italy H2H

These rivals have met many times in their history, and the results have been very evenly matched. Perhaps the most significant head-to-head (H2H) game in recent history was played in the final of the European Championship at Wembley in 2021, in which the Italians won after a penalty shootout and became the current champions of the tournament. The English got a little revenge in the first match of these qualifiers, defeating Italy in Naples with a score of 2:1.
