UEFA Nations League / Italy vs England

 

 

Analysis:

There is Nations League action happening on Friday as Italy will be taking on England.

 

Italy

Matches with Italy have usually been exciting affairs of late with high scoring being a real hallmark. Over their past 6 games alone, the sum total of 20 goals have been scored for both teams combined (at an average of 3.33 goals per game) with 8 of them belonging to Italy.

 

England

Gareth Southgate's England have seen their efforts on goal rewarded a total of 6 times throughout their previous 6 matches. The total of goals that have been scored against them during the equivalent period adds up to 7.

 

Verdict:

We’ve got the feeling that England and Italy could both end up scoring in what appears to be a good match-up, with little separating these two teams. A draw is a real possibility, as we are expecting there to be little between them. We’re therefore tipping a tight encounter with a score draw after 90 minutes.
