This could be one of the best quarter-final fixtures in the history of the competition and you can find out more about the two teams in the Belgium vs Italy tips and predictions below. At the time of writing, the odds for this match are 2.40 for an Italy victory and the game will be played at the Allianz Arena, Munich on the 2nd of July.

However, the Belgian team are sure to have something to say about that and we will take a closer look at both teams in our Italy vs Belgium match preview. In addition to the Belgium vs Italy prediction, you will find out where to watch Belgium vs Italy plus where to bet on Belgium vs Italy.

Let’s begin with the Italy vs Belgium contenders to progress to the semi-final.

1. Italy vs Belgium Betting Favourites

The Belgium vs Italy favourites are the Italians, who have looked impressive for much of the tournament. They started their group campaign with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Turkey in Rome and produced another tremendous performance as they recorded the same score against a decent Switzerland team.

We got the result because we deserved it. In the first half we could have scored a couple of goals and then after the break we dropped off physically. We won thanks to the players who came on with the right mindset and resolved the situation. I knew it would be hard, maybe even more so than in the quarter-finals. - Roberto Mancini after the 2-1 win over Austria, Reuters

Italy made several changes for their final group match against Wales, as they had already booked their place in the Round of 16, yet still managed to win the game 1-0 without a great deal of difficulty. Many Italy vs Belgium betting predictions believe the Italians are going to win this match despite coming up against the number one ranked nation in the world and that is reflected in the betting odds for Italy vs Belgium. Italy are the favourites to win with William Hill.

Italy found Austria to be a tough opponent in the Round of 16 and were taken into extra-time at Wembley Stadium. However, Italy showed their strength in depth as they introduced players from the substitutes bench who made the difference and scored two goals in extra-time to win the match 2-1. Great news for the Italians is the fact that Giorgio Chiellini has come back to health after his injury and it's almost sure he'll be back in the starting lineup for the game against Belgium.

2. Belgium vs Italy Betting Outsiders

You would not expect to see the number one ranked team in the world enter a quarter-final match as the Italy vs Belgium outsiders but that is exactly what has happened in this fixture. The Belgium vs Italy odds have the Belgian team as the underdogs, priced at great odds with Unibet.

This is interesting because Belgium matched Italy by topping their group with maximum points. They started with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Russia in Saint Petersburg and then stepped into an emotionally charged Parken Stadium, in Copenhagen to come from behind and beat Denmark 2-1, which was a good result. Belgium then faced Finland in their final game of the group and chose to rotate their starting XI yet still managed to come away with a 2-0 victory thanks to a couple of late goals.

Belgium had a tough test in the Round of 16 as they met defending champions, Portugal. It was a close game but Belgium made the breakthrough thanks to a fantastic strike by Thorgan Hazard just before half time. Portugal piled on the pressure towards the end of the game and hit the post but for the most part, Belgium defended well and could have added a second goal on the counterattack.

So, it is surprising to write a Belgium vs Italy preview and see the Red Devils as the outsiders in the betting, with the draw also on offer at attractive odds with bet365. However, we have to remember that both Eden Hazard and Kevin de Bruyne may not play on Friday due to injuries they caught in the round of 16.

3. Belgium vs Italy Betting Picks

There is no doubt the value is with Belgium in this game, despite the fact they have lost 3 of their last 4 meetings with Italy, including a match at the 2016 Euros. Both teams have been defending well throughout the tournament and we could see a Belgium victory, with under 2.5 goals scored at a great price with bet365. But we don't want to underestimate the Italian who may also win without conceding a single goal, which you can back at great odds.
