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.

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.

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.

The Euro 2020 Final is set for Sunday, July 11, with host England taking on Italy. Kickoff will be at 3 p.m. ET at Wembley Stadium in London, England. Below, we look at the England vs. Italy Euro 2020 Final odds and lines; be sure to check out our Euro 2020 bets, picks and predictions.

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.

  • Over/Under: 2.5 (O: +140 | U: -190)

England is a slight favorite over Italy at home with a 37.04% implied probability of winning inside 90 minutes. Those odds can be expressed as a decimal of 2.70 or a fraction of 17/10.

The match is considered to end in a draw if it goes into extra time.

  • England -120 (bet $120 to win $100) | Italy -110 (bet $110 to win $100)

The safer play, as many bettors found out in the semifinals, is to bet the winner of Euro 2020, which can include an extra time result. England has implied odds of 54.55% to be crowned Euro 2020 champion.

Euro 2020: Italy vs. Spain odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Tuesday’s Italy vs. Spain odds and lines, with UEFA EURO 2020 picks, tips, predictions and best bets.

We’re down to just four teams in Euro 2020 and Italy meets Spain Tuesday in our first semifinal match for a 3 p.m. ET kickoff at Wembley Stadium in London, England. Below, we preview the Italy vs. Spain odds and lines and make our best Euro 2020 bets, picks and predictions.

Spain, the No. 6 nation in the FIFA World Rankings, defeated the Xherdan Shaqiri-led Switzerland in the quarterfinals despite failing to score while up a man for the final 33-plus minutes of regulation and stoppage time. Spain had 28 shots (10 on target) but just 1 goal.

With a bad penalty record, Spain managed to step up and top Switzerland 3-1 on penalties.

Italy topped Belgium 2-1 in the quarterfinals. Despite MF Eden Hazard being sidelined, Belgium looked almost at full strength. The top team in the world by the FIFA rankings, lost to seventh-ranked Italy. A penalty kick was the only goal Belgium got on the board.

Italy had two absolutely beautiful goals. It shook off its Round of 16 struggles and looked dominant to improve to 5-0-0 in the tournament.

Prediction

Italy 1, Spain 1 (Italy advances in extra time)

Money line (ML)

BET on ITALY TO ADVANCE (-145) as the best value bet. While it’s a bit pricey, Spain is a classy side and may find a way to push this to penalty kicks.

Italy looked flawless despite one mistaken challenge against Belgium. After watching that and seeing the combination of lethal finishers with veteran defenders like 36-year-old Giorgio Chiellini, I wouldn’t bet against Italy.

Also, Italy’s defense is much stronger than Switzerland’s, so if Spain struggled to score against the Swiss, I can only imagine the difficulty they could be in for in the semifinals.

After giving up 2 goals in the final 15 minutes to Croatia and not capitalizing on the red card against Switzerland, betting on Spain in any form to win this game is a trap.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the UNDER 2.5 (-175) despite the steep price.

While Spain has two 5-goal games in the tournament, it scored 5, 1 and 0 goals in three matches against top-20 teams. In similar matches, Italy scored 3, 2 and 1 goals. I don’t think this will be a high-scoring match, especially with Italy’s defensive prowess.

However, Italy isn’t the only side with extremely experienced defenders. Spain has defending MF Sergio Busquets and D Jordi Alba both helping captain their roster.

Expect a low-scoring affair that may head into extra time. Thankfully, the total is only in effect for the regular time, and 1-1 feels like a very realistic 90-minute score.

Euro 2020: Belgium vs. Italy odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Friday’s Belgium vs. Italy odds and lines, with UEFA EURO 2020 picks, tips, predictions and best bets.

In the second quarterfinal match of Euro 2020, Belgium will take on Italy Friday afternoon. Kickoff is slated for 3 p.m ET at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany. Below, we preview the Belgium vs. Italy odds and lines and make our best Euro 2020 bets, picks and predictions.

Despite being more of the home side in this upcoming match, Belgium, who narrowly escaped Portugal in the Round of 16, will probably be without MF Kevin De Bruyne and winger Eden Hazard in the quarterfinals. The decision on whether they play is expected to be at the “last minute,” according to manager Roberto Martinez.

That will drastically change both the game plan for Belgium, which sits atop the FIFA World Rankings, and Italy, which ranks seventh.

Italy is coming off a hard-fought victory over Austria in the Round of 16, after winning its Group Stage games by a combined score of 7-0. With Turkey, Switzerland, Wales, and Austria as their first four opponents, this will be a massive test for the Italians, even if Belgium is forced to sit its two best talents.

Prediction

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

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to BELGIUM TO ADVANCE (+110) but do it with hesitancy because of the injuries to the stars. If De Bruyne and Hazard are ruled out, MF Dries Mertens would have to step up.

The difference in skill is enough to pass on this money line in general. Given the odds for Belgium, I’d bet on it to advance, assuming it may get at least some time on the pitch from Hazard and De Bruyne.

For Italy, it failed to get anything going in 90 minutes against Austria and had just 6 shots on goal in 120 minutes. Both goals came in extra time. While the defense looked flawless in the Group Stage and has been a formidable side for years, Austria had 16 shots and got one in the back of the net late in extra time.

Belgium is a different animal, one with the attacking prowess of F Romelu Lukaku.

Expect Belgium to get something going against Italy. I think this game ends in extra time or penalty kicks with Belgium coming out on top.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 1.5 GOALS IN THE SECOND HALF (+145) because both sides like to do their work late.

Belgium has scored 8 goals in this tournament and 5 of them have come in the second half. Seven of Italy’s 9 goals have come in the second half or extra time.

While this bet is only for the second half, I think it gives better value than Over 2.5 (+130) for the full match. All it takes is for 1 goal early in the second half for this game to loosen up.

With substitutes and tired legs and goalies, the second half has produced big-time efforts. The teams don’t give up, and I’d bet that these two combine for a pair of goals in the second half.

They’ve done most of their work in the final 45 minutes, and that’s the bet I’d take for the Over. However, as with any total in soccer, only the most risk inclined should be looking into this one.

Euro 2020: Austria vs. Italy odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Saturday’s Austria vs. Italy odds and lines, with UEFA EURO 2020 picks, tips, predictions and best bets.

In the second game of the knockout stage, Italy, the winner of Group A, takes on Austria. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET at Wembley Stadium in London, England. Below, we preview the Austria vs. Italy odds and lines and make our best Euro 2020 bets, picks and predictions.

Italy is coming off a nearly flawless group stage at 3-0. While some of its performances weren’t the most convincing, Italy scored 7 goals while not allowing any. Italy is seventh in the FIFA World Rankings and is poised for a deep run in the tournament.

It’ll first have to get by Austria, which is No. 23 in the world. Austria beat Ukraine and North Macedonia but lost to the 16th-ranked Netherlands. This is going to be a tough one for a side that’s yet to show much of anything.

Prediction

Italy 3, Austria 1

Money line (ML)

PASS on the money line because Italy (-550) is just far too pricey.

Crazy things happen in soccer, and the value of -550 is not worth betting. Now, there are a few interesting prop bets like ITALY (+130) in the first half. That could be the best bet if you want to take a chance on the favorites.

While Italy won its last game 1-0 over Wales, defeating Switzerland 3-0 is what set it apart in the group stage. With a goal from F Ciro Immobile and two from MF Manuel Locatelli in that match, Italy has been a scoring machine.

Expect another big performance from the side that’s expected to be one of the favorites in the tournament.

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

Over/Under (O/U)

BET the OVER 2.5 (+105) because Italy scored 7 goals in the first three games. As noted, its strikers are experienced and capable of getting behind the opponent’s back lines.

Only one team, Belgium, scored more goals in the group stage than Italy. As for Austria, it gave up 3 through three games but allowed 2 of those to the Netherlands, the only capable team it played.

With this being a plus-money bet and Italy able to get 3 goals on its own, this one should easily hit, and if Austria can get even 1, it’ll be a nice insurance policy. Austria had 4 goals in the group stage.

If you place some money on this one, only regular time counts for the total, so don’t get excited if it hits in overtime even though I fully expect to see 3 goals in the first 90 minutes.
