Italy vs England - Three Lions marginal favourites as Saka given scoring boost

England return to major competition as the Euro 2024 Qualifiers are back with two tough games.

First up, the Three Lions are away to Italy, followed by a home fixture against Ukraine, to kick off Group C proceedings – and bet365 have got you covered throughout the competition with huge bet boosts and even bigger SUPER BOOSTS!

Bet365’s Steve Freeth said: “There might be fewer games than 2016 but a group containing Italy and Ukraine looks tougher than it did when Roy Hodgson’s side managed a perfect 10 when scoring 31 goals and conceding just 3.

“That said, it hardly served us too well as England were back on the Eurostar before June was out when suffering that embarrassing defeat to Iceland in the Last 16 stage!”

The Three Lions will be looking to serve up some sweet revenge after the penalty shootout heartbreak back in the summer of 2021, as Gareth Southgate’s side look to get their campaign off to a winning start at Napoli’s Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.

It would be a long awaited win for England against the Azzuri, having last triumphed way back in August 2012 with a 2-1 friendly encounter, but it will be the away side hoping to take advantage of Italy’s recent inconsistency having failed to qualify for last year’s World Cup. It’s expected to be a close encounter based on their most recent fixtures with Italy backed to win at 9/5, and England’s chances of winning standing at 8/5.

With the in-form Marcus Rashford removing himself from England selection due to injury, could the flying Bukayo Saka be the man to steal the spotlight against Italy having his odds to score anytime BOOSTED from 9/2 to 11/2!
