Why you should back England
England has a number of advantages in this match. The Three Lions are enjoying a 15-match unbeaten streak on English soil, and finished comfortably atop their qualifying group for the 2022 World Cup. England posted eight wins, two draws, and no losses in 10 qualifying matches, and while they have not won either of the last two matches, England has not faced a three-match winless streak since 2018.
England has one of the best players in the world in Harry Kane, who scored the equalizer in a recent draw against Germany. He is only the second English player to score 50 goals, and Kane is only three goals from tying Wayne Rooney on the all-time goal-scoring list for England. Italy is also not in top form by any stretch, with only four wins in the last 12 matches across all competitions. Italy missed the World Cup after a dire loss to North Macedonia, and the Italians are clearly in transition with several key players unavailable and only three players from the starting 11 in the 2020 Euros on the roster for this tilt.
Why you should back Italy
Italy defeated England in the Euro final, and the Italians lead the all-time series with 12 wins, eight losses, and eight draws. Italy has only one loss in the last nine meetings against England, and sits atop the group right now in the UEFA Nations League. With a win over Hungary and a high-level draw against Germany, Italy’s youth movement is showing upside, and Lorenzo Pellegrini is an exciting player. He has scored in his last two matches for Italy, and he has four goals in Nations League action.
England just suffered its first loss to Hungary in more than six decades, and England was fortunate to emerge with a draw against Germany. England has only one win in its last five matches in the Nations League, with three shutouts in that span. England also has injury uncertainty with standout Kalvin Phillips, who was forced off the pitch with a leg issue against Germany.
