A solid performance from Wales should see them through to the next round, along with Italy. The Italians have been mightily impressive and are many people's dark horses to go deep after missing out on the 2018 World Cup, with the Euro 2020 winner odds now leaning in their favour. However, Wales have exceeded all expectations by securing a crucial 2-0 win over Turkey and could only need a point to ensure they make it to the knockout stages for consecutive Euros.

The start of the competition couldn’t have gone any better for the Azzurri, and that’s reflected in the current Euro 2020 betting odds which have them one of the favourites. Italy don’t have many superstars, yet the way they press and harry the opposing teams means they make up for it with energy and work rate. Plus, the likes of Insigne and Immobile have the quality to cut teams open. Chiellini is a major loss at the back, but Bonucci is experienced enough to cover for his partner.
Wales have picked up from where they left off in 2016. Gareth Bale may not be on the scoresheet, yet his ability to drop deep and spray balls to his teammates is vital to Wales’ attacking play. The partnership between him and Aaron Ramsey is especially dangerous, highlighted by the assist Bale made for Ramsey’s opener against Turkey. Italy represent a step up in class; however, Wales’ counter-attacking style should cause problems on the break.
It’s no surprise that the betting on Euro 2020 with 888sport has Wales as the rank outsiders at 7/1. After all, Italy’s performances mean they deserve the tag of potential tournament winners, which is why they are 1/2 to take three points and complete a clean sweep in Group A. The draw is 3/1. That is well worth keeping in mind seeing as a stalemate will suit both sides, particularly since Italy have already qualified for the KO stages.
Italy vs Wales Euro 2020 will be an interesting contest as they are the two strongest squads in the group. Italy will press high and force Wales into mistakes, meaning Mancini’s men will probably dictate possession. However, this will play into Wales’ game plan as the likes of Dan James loves space to run into and the defense is rock-solid. As a result, under 1.5 goals at 19/10 with 888sport provides superb value because both teams will be hard to break down. If you’re a Wales fan, Ramsey to score first is very long odds at 20/1 seeing as he proved in the last fixture that he has an eye for goal thanks to his runs deep from midfield.
