Important! Please choose correctly, as you can't change the outcome you have picked. If you accidentally picked a wrong outcome, please message us [email protected] and we will correct it. Grading results wrong and not reporting it may cause an account suspension or even permanent ban.
Outcomes:
Draw - Full return in the event that actually happened. (e.g. the wager is returned in an Asian handicap bet)
Void - bet where the wager is returned. There are plenty of reasons why bets are voided, for instance if a match was cancelled, a player did not play etc. A void bet should not be confused with draw (event result = @1) in Asian handicap bets even if both terms result in the same thing, the return of the wager.
1/2 Win - Half the wager is a winning bet and half is a push in an Asian handicap bet.
1/2 Lost - Half the wager is a losing bet and half is a push in an Asian handicap bet.
Portugal vs Italy Betting Tips
With both sides having drawn three of their last five matches, betting on the draw could be a sensible option - but those recent records do not tell the full story.
Italy gave up a lot of chances against Poland, and if Andre Silva - who scored a hat-trick on his La Liga debut last month - or alternative striking options are in clinical form, Portugal will score goals.
Cristiano Ronaldo's absence is undoubtedly a big loss, but without him the likes of Bernardo Silva can step up and prove Portuguese football has a future beyond their superstar forward.
For Italy, meanwhile, Roberto Mancini is still searching for his best XI and enigmatic Mario Balotelli did not help his case for a regular starting point much good with a frustrating performance against Poland.
If anyone can get the best out of Balotelli, it's his former club manager Mancini, but the likes of Andrea Belloti or Ciro Immobile will be stepping up this time.
Nevertheless, with the experience of Pepe at the back and rising star Ruben Neves making things tick in midfield, Portugal have a strong core to their team.
With home advantage too, it is easy to see why - even without Ronaldo - the European champions are favourites to move straight to the top of their UEFA Nations League group with a win against Italy.
Italy vs Portugal Recommended bets with odds
Portugal are favourites for the game against Italy but you can back the at a generous 13/10 with Betfair and Paddy Power to win on Monday. Given both sides tendency to draw lately, however, it may be safer to go 4/7 on a Portugal win and draw no bet.

A Portugal win and BTTS is 9/2 with Bet365, while over 2.5 goals will return 6/4 with Betway.
Andre Silva is 21/10 to score at any time, meanwhile, while an outside bet might be Pepe, who has scored in each of the last two games - the Portuguese defender is 12/1 with 888sport to score at any time.
Portugal vs Italy Prediction
Neither Portugal nor Italy are in the best form when it comes to winning games, and Portugal will undoubtedly miss Cristiano Ronaldo. Italy looked ropey against Poland, however, and the likes of Andre Silva and Bernardo Silva can take advantage of that.
