A Look At Italy’s Betting Odds
The Azzurri have looked far from assured since Antonio Conte left for Chelsea after Euro 2016, losing 3-1 at home to beaten finalists France in September and being made to scramble for a win after going 2-1 behind in Macedonia last month, with striker Ciro Immobile bagging his second at the death.
New boss Giampiero Ventura has also overseen 3-1 and 4-0 victories away to Israel and Liechtenstein in World Cup 2018 qualifying, and watched his charges hold Spain to a 1-1 draw at home, but the fact that Italy are 17/10 outsiders on their own patch speaks volumes.
A Look At Germany‘s Betting Odds
Joachim Low’s side have put their disappointing Euro 2016 semi-final loss to Les Bleus behind them with five wins on the spin since, coming at a combined scoreline of 18-0.
Joachim Low is still around for Germany’s World Cup defenceThe churn of players in Die Mannschaft’s squad is impressive, with the likes of Ilkay Gundogan, Serge Gnabry, Kevin Volland and Max Meyer all taking their chances to shine since the summer.
Having begun their World Cup defence in the best possible way, Germany look formidable once more.
