Euro 2016: Belgium vs Italy betting preview
Among the dark horses to win Euro 2016, Belgium kick off their campaign to secure their maiden European title with a Group E clash against Italy in Lyon on 13 June.
Marc Wilmots can call on a squad that is filled to the brim with top class talent, making Belgium a formidable force to be reckoned with. The Red Devils warmed up for Euro 2016 with wins over Switzerland and Norway, along with a 1-1 draw against Finland. They are backed at 8/5 by Betfair to beat Italy in their first match.
Italy ended a four-match winless run with back-to-back warm-up wins over Scotland and Finland. The Azzurri last faced Belgium in an international friendly in November last year, losing 3-1 in Brussels. Antonio Conte's side are placed at 12/5 to avenge that defeat in Lyon.
Christian Benteke and Romelu Lukaku are even-stevens at 6/1 to score the first goal of the match, with Divock Origi placed at 13/2.
Southampton forward Graziano Pelle is a 7/1 bet to open the scoring, while Ciro Immobile is at 15/2.
