Top Three Predictions and Betting Tips for Italy vs England
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Italy Win or Draw – 1.54
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Over 2 Goals – 1.66
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: England 0 Goal Handicap – 1.81
Italy Win or Draw
There is a 35% chance that this match will end in a draw according to both teams’ form statistics. Italy meanwhile, have won three of their last eight home games. England on the other side are winless in the four Nations League games played in Group three so far.
Over 2 Goals
In order to decide the number of goals to be scored in this game, we will check the goal says of Italy and England. In detail, Italy’s nine of their last ten home games produced two or more goals. And the same number of goals was the outcome in England’s eight of ten games.
England 0 Goal Handicap
Playing on the road, England have won six and drew three of their ten games. Also, in their last four meetings with Italy, England lost once and drew three times. As a result, The Three Lions covered the 0 goal handicap in all of these matches.
Preliminary Review and Match Prediction for Italy vs England
Italy
After the huge disappointment of not qualifying for the World Cup for the second time in a row, Italy are expected to do well at least in the Nations League. However, after going undefeated in the first three games, winning one and drawing two, the Azzurri were humiliated by Germany in their previous round losing by 5-2.
In fact, Italy were down by 5-0 until the 70th minute before getting back some of their pride back with two strikes. Now, with five points at the third position, Italy still have a chance of finishing top given that they win their two remaining games and Germany loses at least one of theirs.
In their last ten fixtures, Italy scored on average 2.60 goals per game. At the other side of the field though, Mancini’s defense is not in its best days conceding 1.10 goals per game and keeping just two clean sheets in ten games.
England
Uncharacteristically, England are at the bottom of their group with two points from four games. The Three Lions drew two and lost two of their games and scored just one goal in the process. This is England’s worst run of results in four years since they lost two matches back-to-back in 2018.
Like their opponents Italy, England are coming into this match on the back of a huge loss as well. The Three Lions were thrashed in their own backyard by Hungary when they lost 0-4. It was one of England’s worst offensive performances as Gareth Southgate’s men had just two shots on goal.
A chant of “you don’t know what you’re doing” in the closing stages may be a tad harsh on Southgate, but summed up the frustration inside Molineux as England went four matches without a victory for the first time during his tenure.
Italy vs England Prediction
This will be a chance for both teams to bounce back from their previous defeats and as a result we expect to see an open game. Italy with a win may climb to the top of the group while England must win to avoid being relegated to League B. In conclusion, we will back a double chance of a home win or draw.

Safe Bet
In their last ten fixtures across all competitions, Italy scored on average 1.10 goals per game and 1.00 per game while playing on home soil. England on the other side typically conceded 0.50 goals per away game. Thus with odds of 1.46 at 22Bet, we will back Italy to score under 1.5 goals and consider it as our safe bet.
Get Rich Quick
As we saw in our earlier prediction, a draw has a 35% possibility and was the outcome in three of the last four h2h matchups. In addition, there is a 75% chance that this match will produce over 1.5 goals. We will back a combo bet that combines a draw with over 1.5 goals which has odds of 4.44 at 22Bet.
Anytime Goalscorer
Ciro Immobile has been playing with the Italian senior national team since 2014 and has 55caps for his country during which he was the author of 15 goals. At 32, Immobile is one of the most prolific goal scorers in Italian football and was the top scorer in Serie A last season. With odds of 2.62 at 22Bet, we predict Immobile to score anytime in this game.
Italy vs England Team News
Italy midfielder Marco Verratti has picked up a calf injury in PSG’s latest game with Lyon and is ruled out of the two Nations League games for the Azzurri. In addition, Chiesa is still recovering from his ACL operation while Berardi has a muscle injury and Locatelli physical discomfort.
