1. Italy vs Wales Favourites

Italy qualified for the 2020 European Championship in style having come through their group undefeated and winning all 10 of their games. They finished 12 points clear of Finland, which is a massive gap and enjoyed plenty of success both at home and in away matches. Italy won all 5 of their home qualifying games and were only really pushed close in one of them which was the 2-1 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Switzerland is a strong team, we were in trouble during the first few minutes and then we started to take them high and we forced them to make mistakes. We could have scored earlier, but it wasn’t easy. It was the second game in a few days, the guys put a lot of effort into it. It was a deserved victory. We will not calculate, we must also win the next game. - Roberto Mancini after winning 3-0 against Switzerland, BBC

Every other of their home games in the group ended with a comfortable victory and Italy defeated Finland, Liechtenstein, Greece and Armenia by at least 2 goals. The Italians have a tremendous record when playing on home soil and will be expected to continue that run with a victory in this match. In the first two games during this year's tournament they played fantastic football, winning against Turkey and Switzerland (both 3-0) and already securing a place in the knockout stages.

Having failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, this is a return to the top of international football for the Italians. They reached the quarter-final of the 2016 European Championship and are hoping to go even further in this competition. To do that they will want to finish first in this group by simply not losing this game. The Wales vs Italy betting odds have the latter as the favourites. Read on for more Italy vs Wales betting tips and predictions as we take a look at the chances of the Welsh. Don't forget about the second match in this group and follow the latest Switzerland vs Turkey betting tips and predictions available in the related article.

2. Wales vs Italy Betting Tips

Wales qualified for their second successive European Championship by finishing as runners-up in qualifying Group E. They came second to Croatia in the qualifying group having won 4 of their 8 games, losing only twice. However, both defeats came in arguably the two toughest away matches of the group in Croatia and Hungary.

The approach Wales take in this match will be to try to win and finish the group stage in the first place. After the first two rounds of games, they already have four points and only a total disaster will prevent them from reaching the knockout stages. So, as the Welsh have already secured enough points to ensure progress to the round of 16, we could see some changes to their team with the knockout stages in mind. However, we can predict that Wales are going to want to pick up something from this match to guarantee a better place in the next round of the tournament.

Wales have played Italy 9 times in their history but have lost 7 of those games. They have never managed to defeat the Italians in Italy but did come out on top in one of their most recent meetings which was in Cardiff on the 16th of October 2002 in a European Championship qualifying match. The betting odds for Italy vs Wales have the latter as clear outsiders. This leaves little hope for Wales in this match. We have more Wales vs Italy predictions below.

Italy didn't have it too difficult though. Winning over Bosnia and Herzegovina, Finland... Even now Group A is not difficult at all. Switzerland, Turkey and Wales. Compare it to Group F Portugal, France and Germany... Somebody has luck in drawing!
