Why Bet on Portugal Versus Italy

Portugal has played better than any team at the 2023 UEFA European Under-19 tournament. Spain had played as well, but Portugal doesn’t face Spain in the final.

How good has Portugal looked? Earlier in the tournament, the Portuguese dusted Italy 5-1. Portugal beat Malta 2-1. Versus Norway, the Portuguese rolled, dominating the Norwegians 5-0 in a match that proved how good Portugal’s under-19 squad is.

Why Bet on Italy Versus Portugal

The Italians were underdogs against Spain. So much so, that most analysts had already scheduled a Spanish versus Portuguese final in their heads.

But although no soccer fan really believed Spain would fall to Italy, the Italians believed in themselves.

Italy yielded possession 39% to 61%, but the Italians were ultra-aggressive, taking 20 shots compared to Spain’s 14. Not only that, but Italy took 10 shots on goal and the Spanish took 3.

If the Italians play in the final like they did in the semifinal victory over El Rojo, the Azzurri can get another upset win.

UEFA EURO Under-19 Final Betting Analysis: Italy vs. Portugal

If we look at Portugal’s 5-1 victory against Italy, we might assume the Italians have no shot. But the Azzurri are a much different team now than they were then.

In the first match, Italy took just 4 shots against Portugal with a single shot on goal. Also, the Italians yielded possession 35% to 65%. Not only that, but Portugal took 21 shots and 11 on goal.

The Azzurri proved in the semifinal victory over Spain that they have switched up their attack. On Sunday, we should see a much more aggressive Italian side. Like what happened to Spain, Portugal may struggle to figure out how to attack the Italian defense while still being aggressive on their end.

Things could go south for Portugal. In addition, the odds on the Azzurri are more than fair. The Italians provide a second straight upset and leave Malta with the UEFA EURO Under-19 Championship trophy.
