Spain Italy betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This is a match between two teams that are going through very good times in this qualifying round as they remain in the top of Group G. For playing at home, it’s expectable that the Spanish team will dominate and enjoy the best opportunities to score goals; but, in the counterattacks of Italy, a deadly weapon, they’ll create several difficulties for the opponent. So, we believe that risking in favor of goals for both countries is an excellent option.
