After some really shitty knock out round betting, its Italy to win +1050 or nothing for me. But, I just can?t get over these odds. Italy now +234. Italy pk +108. Too tempting to load up on the better team at those odds. But, this stupid ?Pan European? format has been a joke. Englands played 1 game away from Wembley while other teams are traveling all over the place. They would have travelled more if they hosted the damn thing. Now, instead of a super bowl atmosphere with both sides fans attending, its just another England home game with a now capacity crowd and only 1000 Italian fans allowed to travel. I think its going to come down to the reffing a lot. England will try to knock around Italy and break up play like Austria was successful doing. If they can?t, its going to be a very rough day for England. Based on the stats I was looking at, this ref is pretty middle of the road as far as showing cards. So, hard to say which way he will lean. He does seem to have a hard on for Verratti. If my book had long shot odds on him seeing a card, I would take that for sure since he picks them up pretty often normally. But, its a final so its probably unlikely he shows it a lot.
So, I?ll take a couple shots on the game:
Italy/O1.5 +420
Over 2 +104
Sending off Yes +420
Booking over 3.5 -104 - Varretti is good for 1. England will be fouling a lot.
Any time goal scorer - odds are always a joke, but just for fun:
Maguire +1200 - no secret their corners all involve trying to get the ball on his head.
Bonucci +1800 - just have a feeling.
