Euro 2020 Final prop bet odds, picks and predictions

Previewing Sunday’s Euro 2020 Final between England and Italy, with prop bet odds, picks, tips, predictions and best bets.

After numerous nail-biting matches, the Euro 2020 Final is finally here. It’ll be England and Italy taking the pitch at 3 p.m. ET Sunday. The match takes place at Wembley Stadium in London, England. Below, we preview the 5 best Euro 2020 Final prop bets and make our best Euro 2020 picks and predictions.

England is coming in having defeated Denmark 2-1 via a controversial penalty kick decision in extra time. Italy took down Spain 4-2 in penalty kicks.

Both sides look to their defense to guide them. It’s been a dominant defensive display as England has given up just 1 goal in the tournament while Italy has allowed just 3.

England vs. Italy Euro 2020 Final: Best Bets

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 11:10 a.m. ET.

Both teams to score (+115)

While the defenses have been strong, both England and Italy have managed to put goals on the board.

England had just 2 goals through three Group Stage matches, but its offense has come alive in the knockout rounds to score 8 goals in three matches.

Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling, and the comeback of Mason Mount have created a nice three-headed monster.

On the other side of the pitch, Ciro Immobile and Lorenzo Insigne have played well of late and Italy has scored 12 goals in the tournament. Expect both teams to score at least once.

Harry Kane to score 2 or more goals (+900)

Let’s note – Kane is England’s option from the spot. It’s worth betting at this great value that he gets one of his own and then maybe Sterling can draw another penalty.

Kane has scored four times in the last three matches, and he’ll be a lethal threat for the home side. Expect Kane to get at least one and the 9-1 odds make it worthwhile to bet him to score twice or more.

Score at half 0-0 (+115)

As I predicted earlier in the week, I think both teams score, but I also find the value in betting +115 for the final score at half to be 0-0.

Eight of Italy’s 12 goals in Euro 2020 were scored in the second half or in extra time, and seven of England’s 10 goals have come in the second half or extra time.

This game should come alive in the second half, but a slow first 45 minutes wouldn’t be shocking. With both strong, experienced backlines, expect a slow-churning first half.

Jorginho to get a yellow (+400)

Italian center-mid Jorginho has committed six fouls so far this tournament.

While none of them have been worthy of a yellow card, in a game likely to favor the home side, it wouldn’t be shocking to see the normally-composed mid get risky with his challenges.

He had two yellow cards in 28 appearances with Chelsea this past season, and he had 10 yellow cards in 31 appearances the season prior. At +400 value, this prop offers solid odds, especially considering how the game could be officiated.

Sterling to have Over 1.5 shots on target (+140)

Sterling used his speed to draw a penalty last match, and he should use it again to his advantage. Likely to play the entire game, Sterling is England’s best option on the edge.

Sterling has 8 shots on target so far this tournament and can be expected to be ultra-aggressive with his touches at home in the final. He’s been the best attacking option for England, and he should make his presence felt in this match.

Euro 2020 Final: England vs. Italy odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Sunday’s Euro 2020 Final odds and lines between England and Italy, with UEFA EURO 2020 picks, tips, predictions and best bets.

In Sunday’s Euro 2020 Final, England takes on Italy. The match is set to kick off at 3 p.m. ET at Wembley Stadium in London, England. Below, we preview the England vs. Italy odds and lines and make our best Euro 2020 bets, picks and predictions.

England will get yet another game in front of a raucous home crowd. As we saw with Hungary, this does make a difference, and it should give a boost to the home side.

Now, that’s not to say England’s without talent. Winger Raheem Sterling and F Harry Kane have been a couple of the tournament’s most electric players. Having conceded a goal for the first time in the tournament against Denmark in the semifinals, England has had a stout backline as well.

It’ll be playing an equally impressive Italian side. Italy has given up just 3 goals in the tournament. Its backline is led by veteran defender Giorgio Chiellini. Juventus winger Federico Chiesa, Lazio F Ciro Immobile and Napoli winger Lorenzo Insigne lead the way up front.

Both sides have rosters filled with some of the best talents in the world.

Prediction

Italy 1, England 1 (Italy wins in extra time)

Money line (ML)

BET on a DRAW (+195) because both teams have shown resourcefulness in tight games.

England was down 1-0 to Denmark and quickly countered to tie it. The home side has shown enough to be the favorite, but it hasn’t yet taken on a high-level opponent like Italy.

Having defeated both Spain and Belgium, not trailing for a minute of either match, Italy has taken down a few European goliaths.

All three money line wagers are plus-money bets, and with both teams having had their semifinal match go to extra time, there’s a good chance this one goes past 90 minutes.

You can get Italy to win the cup at -110. If you’re feeling risky, you can couple this with the regulation draw.

After watching the grittiness Italy had in the semifinals and against an elite Belgium side in the quarterfinals, I think it’ll come out on top but not in the first 90 minutes.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 0.5 GOALS IN THE FIRST HALF (+125) as both teams typically outlast their opponent and score late in the match.

Eight of Italy’s 12 goals in Euro 2020 were scored in the second half or in extra time. While I predicted both sides to get on the board, it’s likely to be in a thrilling second half.

England runs a similar story. Seven of its 10 goals have come in the second half or extra time. It has been a tale told by most teams, and it’s one I’d be willing to bet on in the Euro 2020 Final.

Betting on both teams not to score in the first half is the best bet on the total.

WATCH: England vs. Italy Euro 2020 Championship odds and bets

Previewing the odds and lines for England vs. Italy in Sunday’s Euro 2020 Final at Wembley Stadium.

England and Italy have rich soccer traditions, but those haven’t translated into success at the European Championships for either country. England has never won the tournament. Italy’s lone first-place finish was back in 1968 when it was the host nation.

Perhaps home field will be the difference this year as England and Italy meet Sunday in the championship match at London’s Wembley Stadium. But it hasn’t been considered enough of a factor to prevent Italy from being installed as a slight favorite. Check BetMGM for the most updated odds.

Euro 2020 Final: How to bet on England

Looking at how to bet on England in Sunday’s Euro 2020 Final against Italy.

The Euro 2020 Final is finally here and features host England against Italy at Wembley Stadium in London. Kickoff will be Sunday at 3 p.m. ET. Below, we look at how to bet on England in the Euro 2020 Final, with picks and predictions.

In the biggest international sporting event since the world was taken siege by COVID-19, normalcy is returned in the form of England at home against Italy.

Despite both sides being taken to extra time in their respective semifinal match, England and Italy have looked dominant all tournament. With all eyes on the home side, let’s dive into how one can bet on England in the Euro 2020 Final.

Euro 2020 Final: England vs. Italy odds

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at 7:12 p.m. ET.

  • Money line: England +170 (bet $100 to win $170) | Italy +190 (bet $100 to win $190) | Draw +200
  • Over/Under: 2.5 (O: +140 | U: -190)

How to bet on England in the Euro 2020 Final

When thinking about betting on England, there are a few huge mistakes you’ll want to avoid.

We describe those below, but with BetMGM, one huge perk is the parlays offered by the book. These give the best odds but ALL bets must hit in order to win.

One I love:

  • England to have more corners + the first half to be a draw + Under 2.5 scored in the match (+360).

If you bet $100 at the +360 odds and it hits, you fetch a profit of $360.

Along those lines, Italy and England have odds of -110 and -120, respectively, to win the match. That means one must bet $120 on England, or $110 on Italy, to win to return a $100 profit.

Let’s look at how to bet the money line and the Over/Under in the Euro 2020 Final and what mistakes to avoid.

Euro 2020 Final bets: Money line (ML)

The first rule is to properly understand the money line. The money line is referring to the full 90 minutes and excludes any result in extra time or penalty kicks. That’s why there is an option for a draw.

Given that both teams tied the first 90 minutes of their last match, it’s paramount to consider that could happen again. It’s also possible to bet on the Cup Winner at slightly reduced odds for each team without the threat of the draw.

Euro 2020 Final bets: Over/Under (O/U)

The total, or Over/Under, follows similar rules and asks how many goals the two teams will combine to score in regular time.

The projected goal total for the Euro 2020 Final is set at 2.5 and gives strong odds to the Under as both defenses have looked dominant.

Italy has given up 3 goals through six games and England has given up 1. That’s why the odds favor the Under, but both teams have scored multiple goals in multiple games.

Euro 2020 Final: England vs. Italy odds, lines and details

Analyzing the odds and lines for Sunday’s Euro 2020 final between England and Italy.

Both semifinals matches went beyond 90 minutes.

Italy beat Spain 4-2 on penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw in regular time Tuesday. F Federico Chiesa scored the Italian goal and Italy’s final four penalty kicks got past Spanish keeper Unai Simon. Spain got just two of four penalties past Italian keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

England doubled up Denmark 2-1 Wednesday. F Harry Kane scored the winner in the 104th minute. English keeper Jordan Pickford stopped two of the three Danish shots on target.
