Prediction
| Х1 23,00 | Х 9.00 | Х2 1,10 |
Italy does not have the strongest squad in terms of names. However, even it should be enough for a confident victory over Malta.
We believe that in this match the guests will win with a difference of two goals, and both teams will not score. The Italian team will obviously be actively attacking, and we urgently need to score the first points and rush in pursuit of England.
Prediction for this match: Handicap Italy (-2.5).
- Both teams no to score
