Belgium are on a winning spree in the Euro 2020 and are one of the remaining favourites. They kick-started their Euro 2020 campaign with a comfortable 3-0 win over Russia, followed by a hard-fought 2-1 win over high-flying Denmark. The Red Devils finished top of Group B with three wins, the last of which came over Finland with a 2-0 scoreline. They showcased a lacklustre display against Portugal in the Round of 16 clash but managed to advance to the quarter-finals courtesy of a Thorgan Hazard wonder-strike. Kevin De Bruyne was taken off the field in the match due to a ligament injury and is unlikely to feature, while Eden Hazard also is nursing a hamstring twinge.
Italy had not conceded a single goal in over 1000 minutes until Sasa Kalajdzic’s extra-time strike in the 114th minute in their RO16 fixture against Austria. Roberto Mancini’s team have been rock solid at the back throughout Euro 2020. They are cruising towards the ultimate prize with dominating wins over Turkey, Switzerland, Wales and Austria in the run-up to the quarter-finals. Giorgio Chiellini has started to train with the squad and should return to the Italian backline while Mancini will have a tough time trying to pick either of Marco Veratti and Manuel Locatelli on the left side of the pitch.
As far as the betting odds are concerned, our featured bookmaker 888sport offers a 69/50 odds for an Italy win, making them the favourites in the clash courtesy of being in a better form than almost any team on paper. The Belgians are tipped at 47/20 to win the game due to injury woes in their roster. 888sport offers 21/10 odds for a stalemate. Lukaku is pegged as the favourite first scorer with 7/4 odds.
The Belgians have been marred with major injury concerns and will have to be at their level best to breach a gritty Italian defence. The absence of Kevin De Bruyne will leave a massive gap in the midfield for Roberto Martinez’s side. However, the Italians have been cruising and look much more confident than their counterparts and are expected to make it to the semi-finals with a comfortable victory at the Allianz Arena in Munich. Ciro Immobile and Romelu Lukaku are the biggest goal threats in either team, but the Italian defence will be the defining factor in the clash. Don’t forget to take advantage of the offers at 888sport for betting on Euro 2020.
