We take Italy to win the game against Egypt this afternoon
Italy seem to have come to South Africa to win the Confederation Cup and look like the team to go through to face Spain in the final and Egypt are unlikely to pose a major threat today. Despite Egypt scoring three against Brazil, the Italian defence pose a much more solid barrier for Egypt and we take Italy to win this by a single goal 0-1.
Cannavaro should return to the middle of the defence for Italy and surely Giuseppe Rossi must start today, whilst Egypt’s Al Muhamadi serves a one match ban and Ahmed Eid impressed as a substitute in the last game and should be worth a place.
Italy at 1.77 on Betfair is great value for a team that have come here to win and play a team that are struggling to get back to their African Cup of Nations form and we will be taking these odds as well as the 8.0 for Italy to win 0-1.
We will wait for the line-ups before taking a player to score, but Giuseppe Rossi looks value at the 2.54 available on Betfair.
