The qualifying round for Euro 2024 starts this week. In Group C, the favorites will meet in the first match: the Italian national team will take on the English team. The game will take place on Thursday, March 23, and will begin at 22:45 Moscow time. The betting company PARI assessed the odds of rivals and told how customers bet. PARI analysts consider the chances of the teams to be almost equal: a coefficient of 2.57 is offered for England to win, which corresponds to a 38% probability.
You can bet on Italy for 3.07 (32% probability). The draw is quoted for 3.20 (30%).
PARI clients confidently bet on the British — about 74% of the total volume of bets on the outcome of the meeting falls on Gareth Southgate's team. Italians account for only 16% and another 1% is made for a draw.
The last face-to-face meetings of the teams were not distinguished by a large number of goals scored. If both opponents manage to score in the match, a bet for 2.00 will be played. The coefficient that at least three goals will be scored in the match is 2.35.
Analysts consider a 1:1 draw (coefficient 6.50) and a goalless draw (7.00) to be the most likely outcomes of the game. Italy's "dry" victory is quoted for 4.30, and if the British win with a difference of one or two goals, the coefficient 2.70 will play.
The largest bet among PARI clients for the upcoming match is 100,000 rubles for the victory of the England national team at a coefficient of 2.55. The client added this outcome to the express of two football events with a total coefficient of 4.72.
The qualifying match will be the fourth meeting between Italy and England in the last two years. In the final of Euro 2020, the teams drew (1:1), and in the penalty shootout, the Italians were stronger (3:2). Last year, the rivals met twice in the framework of the League of Nations. In the first match, the opponents drew again (0:0), and in the second meeting, "Skoudra Azzurra" was stronger — 1:0.
It is worth noting that the Italian national team has become an extremely uncomfortable opponent for the British in recent years. The Three Lions managed to win the last victory over the Italians more than ten years ago — in August 2012, England won a friendly match with a score of 2:1.
