England vs Italy prediction
Italy have been entertaining surprise packages and could make a mockery of their long odds if England defend poorly again.
Girelli, Cantore and the likes of Bayern Munich’s Arianna Caruso and Juve’s Barbara Bonansea have the ability to orchestrate an upset, but their 5-1 defeat to England in a friendly last year and 3-1 loss to Spain during the group stage seem instructive in predicting the likely outcome.
Back England to win 4-2 and don’t be surprised if Italy score first, as they have done in each of their four games at these finals and seven of their last eight matches.
