Netherlands Italy betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This clash marks the meeting between two great teams from Europe, who have been campaigning somewhat differently in their respective groups in the World Cup Qualifiers. While Italy are in second place, tied for number of points with leaders Spain, the Netherlands are coming off another defeat and are now six points behind their group leader, France. Netherlands have been runner-up to the World Cup three times and won the Euro Cup in 1988. Italy has four World Cup titles and one Euro Cup. Thus, we expect a balanced game, between two great selections, the draw being a good betting option, but with favoritism for the visitors, who live a better moment.
