EURO 2020 Final - Referee + Cards Preview

7/8/2021

0 Comments

 
Bjorn Kuipers has been confirmed as the man in the middle for this Sunday’s EURO 2020 final between Italy & England.

​The Dutch official is a household name in his native Netherlands having taken charge of 20 games in the Eredivisie last season in addition to 8 Champions & Europa League ties. 

The 48-year old has officiated 3 times at this Summer’s European Championships - Denmark v. Belgium, Slovakia v Spain & Czech Republic v. Denmark - handing out no fewer than 10 yellow cards all told.

Midfield enforcers Marco Verratti (15/8) & Kalvin Phillips (9/4) are the most likely to find their way into Kuipers notebook according to the bookmakers. Verratti averages 3.3 tackles a game at EURO 2020 with an average of 1.3 fouls while his opposite number Phillips, who has been an ever present for the Three Lions, averages 0.7 tackles per game with an average of 1.7 fouls. 

Italian left-back Leonardo Spinazzola had been making all the headlines before suffering a nasty injury v. Belgium leaving fellow full-back Giovanni Di Lorenzo to somewhat go under the radar at right-back.

Alessandro Florenzi was Roberto Mancini’s first-choice for the right side of defence at the beginning of the tournament. However, the Roma man who spent last season on loan in Paris has been sidelined with a calf injury since the opening game against Turkey.

Di Lorenzo has started 4 of the Azzurri’s 5 EURO ties since then, sitting out against Wales with qualification from the group already secured, and has quietly gone about his business with an average of 7.8 duels won per game.
The Napoli man is no stranger to a yellow card. The 27-year-old was booked no fewer than 11 times in Serie A last season and was cautioned during the Italian’s last-16 tie with Austria at Wembley. 

Raheem Sterling is likely to start on the left wing for the Three Lions and the Man City man likes to run at his marker with 31 attempted dribbles in his 6 outings in the competition so far.

EURO 2020 Final Preview (11 July 2021)

7/8/2021

0 Comments

 
Is football finally coming home, or is it headed for Rome? This Sunday (11 July) sees the final of EURO 2020 between England & Italy.
It will be the Azzurri’s 10th appearance in the final of a major tournament (6x World Cup, 4x EURO) while the Three Lions prepare for their first ever appearance in a European Championship final and their 1st appearance in a major final since 1966.

England are the marginal favourites at 4/5 to lift the trophy while Italy are 1/1 with Bet365.
Sunday evening will be the 28th meeting between Italy & England, the most recent of which was back in 2018 when a late Insigne penalty salvaged a draw after Jamie Vardy had given England the lead.

Lorenzo Insigne notched 19 times for Napoli in Serie A last season and has 2 goals at EURO 2020.

The diminutive winger has all the potential to be a game winner and England right-back Kyle Walker will need to be at his brilliant best to contain him.

At the other end of the pitch, Harry Kane’s extra-time winner against Denmark in the semi-final was the Spurs striker's 4th goal at EURO2020, tied 3rd for the Golden Boot behind Patrik Schick & Cristiano Ronaldo who both have 5 goals.

It’s sure to be a tense and tight affair between 2 sides who arrive full of confidence and there’s huge potential it could be decided by just 1-goal. ​
3 of the last 4 EURO finals in fact having been decided by a 1-0 scoreline. ​
Back Under 1.5 Goals @ 13/8

EURO 2020 Semi-Final Preview

7/5/2021

0 Comments

 
EURO 2020 reaches fever pitch this week as Wembley prepares to host 2 semi-finals in as many days. On Tuesday, Italy takes on Spain before England and Denmark go head-to-head on Wednesday night..
Italy v Spain
Spain had to rely on penalties to see off the Swiss who played more than 40-minutes with 10-men on Friday night. Italy, meanwhile, held their nerve to get past Belgium on the same evening

The Azzurri will be without Leonardo Spinazzola who suffered an achilles injury in Friday’s quarter-final victory but Roberto Mancini’s men have continued to impress in all areas of the pitch.

Midfielder Jorginho leads the way in completed passes this tournament, averaging 75 completed passes per game, and the Chelsea man looks worth backing to achieve over 54.5 passes on Tuesday night.
Back Jorginho - Over 54.5 Passes @ 5/6 ​
England v Denmark
Gareth Southgate will lead England out for the 1st appearance at a major European tournament for the first time since Euro ‘96 when the Three Lions agonisingly missed out on reaching the final, losing 6-5 to Germany on penalties. Who missed the deciding spot-kick? None other than Gareth Southgate.

It’s 11/2 with Bet365 that the game will be decided on penalties.
England are yet to concede a goal at EURO 2020 and couldn’t have been more impressive in booking their spot in the semi-finals with a 4-0 win over Ukraine.

​Harry Kane was twice on target on Saturday and Andreas Christensen & co. might struggle to contain the England no.9.
