On Friday, June 1, France and Italy meet in a friendly match in Nice on the “Allianz Riviera,” as Deschamps’ “cocks” have won 17 victories in the last 20 home games. Betting houses indicate that the French are favorites, Italy being initially under the command of Roberto Mancini after failing to qualify for the World Cup.
Who believes that both teams will score can bet on a higher than 2.00, but Italy has had problems in the offensive lately and is far from having a prime 11 constant. France is playing well most of the time and team play is on the rise, which is why online agencies offer only 1.67 for the success of their favorites. A match with at least two goals scored has a 1.34 share and a French victory is quoted at 2.60. Risk and surprise fans can bet that Italy will win at zero for the 8.00.
The last games played by France’s Fekir and Griezmann before the CM have won their home games with England, Sweden, Russia and Germany. Italy has only won two of its last 6 away games, and Squadrei has been badly in the league with Argentina. After failing to score with Spain, Sweden and Argentina, the Italians were tormented even before Saudi Arabia (2-1) – it was the first victory in the last 6 games for white-blue! With a young team in which Balotelli returned, Italy does not have enough quality in the middle of the field to dominate the game in front of a technically motivated opponent with a good ball movement.
Both selectors will test more “second line” players, so we do not recommend betting on goals because of the lack of homogeneity that the two rivals will face. Even so, Deschamps has a much better selection than Mancini and any top 11 would use, the superiority of France should be obvious …
PREDICTION: France to win @ 1.67
