Italy U19

Prediction
Our expert pick:
The Italy U19 team had the chance to rest their key players in the final match against Ukraine, fielding several substitutes. Spain, on the other hand, fought until the last moment for a spot in the playoffs and had one day less of rest. The fatigue factor is likely to play a role in this match, so we are backing the Italians.
Our prediction - Asian Handicap (0) on Italy at 2.07
Both teams prefer to play an attacking style. For instance, Italy has not scored fewer than two goals per match so far. It’s likely that the semifinal match will also be high-scoring.
Our prediction - Over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.90
Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 2.07.
