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.
