Italy are without 7 — Giacomo Raspadori (Out - injured), Filippo Mane (Out - injured), Jeff Ekhator (Out - injured), Bryan Cristante (Out - injured), Federico Dimarco (Out - injured), Nicolò Zaniolo (Out - injured). Of those, Giacomo Raspadori (6.77/10) is the one this team genuinely misses.

The projected score for this one is Italy 2 - 0 Turkiye, a home win by 2 with 2 goals in it — short of the 2.5 line.
The read: Italy at 1.38 is short enough that the value, if there is any, sits on the handicap or in the goals market rather than the outright. The late money is pointing the same way.
