England will host Italy for the final of the European Championship at the Wembley Stadium in London on 12th July 2021 at 00:30 IST. There is ideally nothing to separate between these two sides, but the odds slightly favor the English side.

Teams Status

Italy

Italy are having a dream run in the current Euros as they are unbeaten in the tournament so far. They came out of Group A with three wins under their belt against Turkey, Switzerland and Wales. In the round of 16, they defeated Austria in extra time, and this is where they conceded their first goal of the tournament. They then locked horns with one of the pre-season favorites Belgium, who were handicapped with injuries. Italy came out victorious with a 2-1 margin. They had a tough semifinal against a young Spanish side, who dominated most of the match. Italy managed to stretch the match into extra time and win on penalties. In the six matches that they have played so far, they have scored 12 goals and have conceded just three goals. Most of their players have chipped in with some good performances as they have six different goal scorers and five players have scored two goals each. With Spinazzola still out with injury, Mancini might consider fielding the same XI.

England

England are also on a brilliant run in this European Championship as they have won five matches and drew just one match. Similar to Italy, England are also unbeaten in the competition. They came out of Group D as the table toppers with seven points after beating Croatia and the Czech Republic. Their round of 16 match was against the mighty Germans, where they outplayed them with a 2-0 win. Then they went on to thrash Ukraine 4-0 in the quarterfinals. In the semifinals, they were given a good fight by Denmark, who stretched into extra time. But still, England emerged victoriously by a slight 2-1 margin. In the six matches that they have played, they have scored ten goals and have conceded just one goal. Harry Kane is closing in on the golden boot as he is just one goal behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Patrik Schick. Gareth Southgate might consider fielding the same XI or even might start the likes of Jadon Sancho and Jack Grealish.

Tipster’s Angle

These two teams deserved to be in the finals and both the teams have an even chance of winning it. Both teams are in exceptional goal-scoring form and we could see goals at both ends of the pitch here.

Tip: Both Teams To Score @ 2.10

In this tour, Italy has scored 12 goals at an average of two goals per match, while England have scored ten goals so far. Italy have scored at least a goal in all the six matches that they have played. England on the other hand have scored a goal in five of their six matches in the Euros. Both the teams managed to find the back of the net in five of the last six head to head matches that these two teams have played. In the last competitive head to head match, both teams scored a goal. Also, both teams scored in both the semifinals and it is very likely that both teams will find the back of the net at 2.10 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Tip: Italy To Win or Draw @ 1.50

In the last six head to head matches, Italy has won three matches, while England has won just one match and the other two matches ended in a draw. Italy has never lost a competitive match against England which dates back to the 1980s. Italy knocked out England from the Euros in 2012. Italy are in an unbeaten streak of as many as 33 matches including a winning streak of 14 matches. While England are on a 12 match unbeaten streak with a four-match winning streak. Both the teams are in exceptional form and deserved their place in the finals of the European Championship. So, it is likely that Italy will avoid defeat at least in the regular time of the match at 1.50 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Conclusion

There is nothing to separate between these two sides going into the final, but the odds are slightly in favor of England to win. But Italy are undefeated under Roberto Mancini and looks like they could go all the way this season. It’s going to be a tough contest but Italy are likely to lift the silverware despite being underdogs.
