EGYPT VS ITALY CONFEDERATIONS CUP BETTING TIPS
In terms of the outright betting, Italy go into this match with a rather juicy price to face off against Egypt. 4/6 is the current 90 minute odds and Egypt carries a price of 4/1 with the draw paying out at 5/2. That's generous on Italy, even though Egypt are a quality side and can trouble most top international teams, Italy have a unique ability to grind out results defensively. Combined with the fact that they've also shown some attacking acumen in recent days I think they should be able to dispose of Egypt by a two-goal margin. Italy (-1.0) pays out at 2/1 and that's solid handicap odds I think. Italy (-2.0) sits at 11/2. Italy to win both halves is quite rewarding with 17/10 odds- I'm jumping all over that and I'm not even an Italian fan. Italy to be ahead at halftime pays 5/4 with the slightly more likely option of a draw paying out at 11/10. The lowest odds on correct score is on 1-0 Italy at 6/1 with 2-0 paying 7/1. Italy 2-1 pays 13/2 and that's probably how it will turn out, but 3-1 Italy provides significantly more value, so I'm going to be dropping two points on Italy 3-1 at 11/1. A 1-1 draw pays 11/2. Mohammad Zidan is Egypt's most likely goalscorer with an anytime price of 16/5. Abdel-Ghani pays 4/1 alongside Raouf and Aboutrika. Luca Toni is the go-to guy for Italy at a 5/4 price with Alberto Gilardino paying 7/5- the same odds as Giuseppe Rossi. Fabio Quagliarella is 9/5, as is Vincenzo Iaquinta at 9/5. I would also keep my eye on the young midfielder Roberto Montolivo at 11/2. Gennaro Gattuso is also worth a look at 10/1. Luca Toni is 25/1 to score a hat-trick. An anytime own goal pays out at 15/2 and if the first goal is an own-goal you're looking at 25/1. I'm also looking to back over 3.5 goals at 15/8. Also, be sure to check out the half-time correct score odds with 1-0 Italy paying 11/4. I'm backing Italy 3-1 with Luca Toni, Montolivo and Gilardino to score.
