The odds are way too high. We got lucky with goals against Ireland, but Italians are famous for their defense—they’re definitely gonna shut down Perišić and Modrić, who are our biggest threats. If Dud isn't in the starting XI, we're gonna struggle to find the net since Đilkoš and Jela aren't really the types to exploit open space, and that's our best shot against Italy. Our best bet for a goal is if our strikers just have a lucky day or we catch some random long shot from outside the box. 2.40 is way too good to pass up on a loss...
2.40 is actually low considering Italy's win is at 2.55.
Italy is definitely scoring. It'll be tough for us to keep a clean sheet with a backline like ours, especially since the Italians play way more aggressively and offensively.
Also, props to Modrić, but you can't even put him in the same sentence as Pirlo. Maybe he runs more, but anyone who actually knows soccer saw how much Pirlo means to Italy back when they played Spain, regardless of that one insane pass for the goal.
Pirlo and de Rossi are just a stronger midfield duo than Ogi and Luka, no contest.
