SlipsTips takes a look at the Bet Builder market ahead of Italy's Euro 2020 round of 16 showdown with Austria at Wembley on Saturday night.
Italy vs Austria (Saturday, 20:00)
Italy will be looking to secure their passage to the quarter-final stages of Euro 2020 when they take on Austria at Wembley on Saturday night.
I've already penned a separate match preview for this last-16 tie but I've since identified a Bet Builder that makes appeal.
If we combine Italy to win, under five match goals and over two Italy corners we will be presented with a backable 4/5 (Bet 365) punt.
Italy sailed through the group stages in flawless fashion by winning each of their three fixtures without conceding a goal – a first in European Championship history.
In fact, the Italians upward trajectory in recent years can be attributed to their well-schooled defence – the Azzurri have won each of their last 11 matches whilst shutting out their opponents.
What's more, Roberto Mancini's team have triumphed without reply in 23 of their last 30 international tussles, winning a whopping 25 of those games in the process.
As such, another Italy win to nil will attract plenty of attention from punters at 11/10 (Bet 365) but for the purposes of the Bet Builder I would be more inclined to side with an Italian win in a match that features fewer than five goals.
The aforementioned combination has clicked in each of Italy's last eight competitive contests so I'm more than happy to support the same formula on Saturday night.
In order to nudge up the price, I'll throw over two Italy corners into the equation, something the Italians have achieved in all but one of their last 25 assignments.
It's also worth noting that the above-mentioned Bet Builder has banked in each of Italy's three Euro 2020 outings thus far and that only adds to the appeal of siding with a repeat at Wembley this weekend.
