England kick-off their Euro 2024 qualifying quest with their toughest match of the campaign tonight away to Italy.
The Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Naples may conjure memories the English would rather forget but if the Three Lions can navigate tonight's match without defeat they'll be well on their way to securing a place in Germany next summer.
The sides last met in September when the Italians came out on top at the San Siro thanks to a solitary strike by Sassuolo's Giacomo Raspadori. That result all but condemned England to bottom spot in the UEFA Nations League group and relegation to League B.
Gareth Southgate's squad came up short in World Cup quarter-finals against France, but their overall performance did restore a bit of pride and hope that this squad can compete at the latter stages of major tournaments again.
Italy missed out on the Qatar World Cup, it's unthinkable that they miss out on defending their 2020 European Championship title too so the pressure is on Roberto Mancini.
Historically there's never been too much between these nations whenever they meet. You have to go back to 2012 for England last victory over the Italians, but four of the last five have been drawn (after 90 minutes). In fact, just one of the last 17 clashes have been decided by more than one goal.
A one-goal winning margin for either side is 13/10 tonight whilst the draw is 11/5. Neither side will want to start Group D with defeat so a share of the spoils might suit both Southgate and Mancini.
Denmark boasted one of the best records in qualifying for Qatar and have lucked out with a weak-looking group this time around. Finland should be their closest rivals but the Danes are expected to swot them aside this evening at 3/10.
The match will bring back memories of the day Christian Eriksen collapsed during a meeting between the two in Copenhagen at Euro 2020. The Danes lost that 2-part match 1-0 so there's a score to settle with the Finnish.
That 3/10 is way too short but Denmark to be leading at half-time and full-time looks much better at 20/21.

So bet365 demanding I’d now off me refusing me access to withdrawals with them 2 years or more account verified then any one on here similar hassle with them
The bookies now have to be seen scrutinising their customers, the Government are coming under increased pressure to clamp down on anything to do with betting, Casino’s are said to be having their max stake per spin set at £2 (which will be a big blow to them and massive losses in Revenue), Tipsters, Bookies are all going to feel it in the coming months years with stringent laws, the Inland Revenue are also said to be set to hit paid tipsters with big tax bills, it’s getting worse.
Where I live betting is already heavily restricted, I have to verify my account each year and I’m not allowed to bet on what the regulators call ‘minor leagues’ like the Scottish and English League Two’s or the Serie C in Italy. And NO I don’t live in North Korea
Taxing paid tipsters out of existence is a good thing for me.
Bookies will skirt round the edges as much as they can, after all we are their revenue stream.
It’s ridiculous capping casino spins at £2 when you can slap £100s into a sports betting bgt machine.
One thing they could do Is ban betting adverts on TV, like they did with fag adverts and booze adverts.
It’s crazy you get Jeff selling trying to lure folk in to sky bet then 10 minutes later he is telling us to be gamble aware.
It’s like advertising cheap booze to alcoholics then telling them not to drink too much.
Yip same probs as you but they did allow me to withdraw my funds. Stuff them !

Good teams can pick this rubbish San Marino team apart and score 5+ goals.
Northern Ireland aren’t a good team and hopefully things could get tetchy the longer the score remains close.
