If I go for higher stakes than an insurance on 1-1 would be an imperative. The guys above are right - a 0-0 draw in much more likely to happen in the Portugal - Greece game than in this one imo. On the 1, X, 2 I can't see Italy losing but too risky to bet on in a friendly... |
Nicko, i wouldnt risk too much on that Over.
News in Spain are that Aragones (NT coach) is gonna field the same 4-1-4-1 formation again, with only Torres upfront, and 4 playmaker midfielders Iniesta-Xavi-Fabregas-Silva, with Senna behind them. And Italy is suposed to field same formation, with only one striker, Toni.
I'm not really expecting many goals tonight, although is a friendly, so anything can happen, of course. But i think it will be a midfield battle with not really many chances.
