ITALY v ENGLAND
Italy overcame fellow European giants Spain in their last 4 match. The match finished 1-1 after 90 minutes with Italy taking the lead in the 2nd half only for Spain to equalize with 10 minutes to play. There was no addition to the scoring and Italy won the penalty shootout.
Italy turned in a top performance in the quarters beating Belgium 2-1 and in the last 16 they required extra time to beat Austria. They had won their group with a 100% record and without conceding a goal.
England started 15/20 favourites to see off Denmark in the 90 minutes only to all behind to a 30th minute goal. They bounced back quickly to level via a Denmark own goal before the break and that is how it stayed until extra time when Harry Kane scored the winner rom a saved penalty that came back to him for a simple put away.
The English brushed aside the Ukraine in their quarter-final by 4-0 and in their last 16 match they beat Germany 2-0 with both goals coming in the 2nd half. They took 7 from 9 points to top their group and the goal scored by Denmark was the only one they have conceded in the tournament.

Italy 2/1
Draw 41/20
England 16/10
Suggested Bet: The draw at 21/10
Both semi-finals were level after extra time and I would not be surprised were we to get a draw in a game where both sides will first and foremost be focusing on defence. If you are interested in having a go at the correct score market 0-0 is trading at 21/4 and 1-1 at 9/2.
There are plenty of other markets on offer with over 2.5 goals (in the ninety minutes) currently at 15/10 and Harry Kane is 9/2 to be the 1st goalscorer and he is 7/4 to score at any stage of regulation time.
