There is a lot to like about this fixture and there are a number of really talented potential match-winners that will be on the pitch. Keep your eyes peeled for Danny Ings, who has been selected to start by his manager. 

It was also announced that Jake Forster-Caskey would be coming into the England line-up as well. 

Punters will find England priced at about 7/5 for the 90 minutes victory in the 1X2 wagering. The draw sits a competitive price of about 9/4 while Italy pays out at a 2/1 margin. Things are all pretty close here but England are still considered to be the favourites even with some of the continental books that would be taking more of their action from Italian players. 

Not a huge amount is known about many of the Italian Under 21 players for those of us who are unfamiliar with the Serie A but the likes of Domenico Berardi mean that England’s defenders will need to stay on their toes for the entirety of this fixture and his direct running and keen eye in front of goal could trouble England - particularly if the Italians manage to score first.
