Belgium Stats and Facts

• Belgium are the only team left in Euro 2020 who have won all four of their matches inside 90 minutes
• Belgium matches average two goals per game compared to a tournament average of 2.8 goals per game
• The Euro 2016 quarter-final against Wales is the only European Championships match Belgium have failed to win in their last eight
• Belgium have failed to beat Italy in any of their four previous meetings at major international tournaments

Italy Stats and Facts

• Italy have tremendous experience at this level having reached the quarter-finals of the last four European Championships
• Italy have only conceded more than one goal once in their last 18 European Championships and World Cup matches
• No team has had more attempts on goal than Italy with 87, Belgium are way behind on 38

Belgium Players to Watch Out For

• Romelu Lukaku has shown himself to be more than just a goalscorer with his hold up play and movement vital to the way that Belgium attack
• Youri Tielemans‘ creativity and ability to impact the game from midfield will be all the more important given the fitness doubts around Kevin De Bruyne

Italy Players to Watch Out For

• Marco Verratti has shown all of his class in midfield since belatedly coming into the Italy team and he will have a huge role to play again
• Lorenzo Insigne has played in all four of Italy’s matches so far and his clever movement cutting in from the left will unsettle the Belgium defence

Belgium vs Italy Best Bet

Roberto Martinez knows that his ageing defence needs protection and he’ll hope that the 3-4-2-1 formation he favours with Belgium will keep Italy’s best attacking players at bay.

Patience is not in short supply in the Italian ranks though and they will be happy to keep things tight initially before introducing fresh, talented players from the bench so we like the look of the Draw/Italy half time/full time selection at 9/2 with Paddy Power.

Belgium vs Italy Betting Odds

Belgium and Italy were both among the favourites to win Euro 2020 right from the start so it’s no surprise that the bookies’ odds suggest this is going to be a tight match.

Belgium To Win Odds

Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard are both expected to be absent for this match through injury and that has had an affect on the odds with Belgium priced as the 12/5 underdogs with Virgin Bet.

Belgium vs Italy Draw Odds

Italy needed extra time to make it past Austria and it would not be a major surprise by any stretch of the imagination should this game require more than 90 minutes.

Italy to Win Odds

Italy have steadily shortened up in the outright betting for Euro 2020 and the way they dug deep to beat Austria has seen them open up in the betting at 11/8 with Paddy Power to beat Belgium inside 90 minutes.
