Betting Tip

Italy wasn’t so good against Serbia and they are pretty lucky they took point. They had their chances, but Balotelli was pretty nervous through whole game and that just help to opponent. Giovinco tried something, but he was only one who could do something and he missed great chance for goal, at the end they were pretty lucky because Serbia hit post and goalless draw is probably fair result.

Hosts of this tournament played pretty good first match, but it wasn’t look se in the beginning. Belarus scored first, but Berg was more than enough for Sweden to win. He scored three goals and he showed why he is one of the most interested young players on the market in Europe. Everything was much easier after they scored first goal, but Italy is much better defensive side and it would be very tough to break through their defence. Home fans is giving big advantage to Sweden team and that is something you shouldn’t forget, but also you should know that Italy and Serbia are only countries that played at least in semifinal on last three championships.

Italy always had very strong youth team, but those players didn’t get chance to play in their clubs, because Italians always brought big number of foreigners. Now, situation is different. Giovinco and Balotelli are more or less standard in Juventus and Inter and there is few more players which are playing for their teams on high level. But, Italy was not so convincing against Serbia. In attack they had problems to break through tough defensive line, while defense had a lot of problems after set pieces or croses. Italy is dominant in midfield against Sweden, but Berg is maybe the best attacker on this tournament and it will be very hard to stop him. Italy must pay a close attention to him and that would prevent them from attacking.

Home side will be more than happy with point after win in first match, while Italians must go for win. One point is not end of the road for Italians, but win here will easier their job in last round. Sweden will play on counters, relying on great Berg, while Italians will not put all cards on attack. Cautious approach is expected and I think that betting odds under goals are not that bad.
