July will start with the UEFA Euro 2021 quarterfinals and we already have an amazing Belgium vs Italy duel. For an even better setup, the game will be at the Allianz Arena, home of the Bayern Munich team in Germany. The 2016 EURO gave Italy a 2-0 victory over Belgium, but this time everything seems to be more balanced.
As we have seen in previous predictions from our BET-IBC Tipster Team, Belgium kept its promise and played great football. An almost perfect group stage put them in first place with 3 victories, 7 goals scored and only 1 conceded. That one goal received is the downside to finish with a perfect score. Later on, they defeated Portugal 1-0 and this is a major success taking into account that the Portuguese were the defending champions. This last duel showed us that Belgium has not only a true offensive power but also a stellar defensive line. The team received 23 shots and 0 goals, with a great performance from Vertonghen and Vermaelen on the back, and of course, the famous Real Madrid goalkeeper Courtois.
The rival, Italy, was probably the best team we saw in the Group Stage. With a perfect score of 3 victories, 7 goals scored and none conceded, they forced the bookies to consider them as one of the candidates for the title. However, they seemed lost in their game against Austria. Locatelli and Pessina didn’t bight this time and Chiesa was missed until he substituted Berardi in the 84th minute. After a 0-0 draw against Austria in the 90 minutes, the changes worked and Italy won by 2-1 in overtime.
With such strong and favorite teams facing each other, the bookies can’t set an upper hand this time. For those reasons, check the latest betting predictions for Belgium vs Italy – EURO 2021 match, and sign-up for the best betting software to reserve your seat among the winners.
Now, BET-IBC Tipster Team presents free predictions for the match:
Duarte: I expect a very balanced game and that’s why I see value on the Belgian side.
PortugalTipster: Although Belgium didn’t have a great game against Portugal and even passed the tie with some luck, I believe this is a 50/50 game. I see value in this line +0.25 for Belgium.
Kvasir: I expect these teams to revindicate the spectacle they couldn’t give in the round of 16 and score a lot of goals in this match.
Igor Tips: Both teams have great offensive lines and they demonstrated that during the group stage. Although their last games against Austria and Portugal finished with 0 and 1 goals respectively, I think that this game will have many attacks and goals.
Lady Murasaki: In four Euro games played, Belgium has scored eight goals. While Italy, in the same number of games, has nine goals. With these records, the meeting between these two teams promises goals.
Realtu: This was another hard decision, and this will be another close and disputed match. Both teams have been doing very well, but ultimately I believe Italy will win here.
Tipster BetF: The match between two favorite teams to win the title; this will be a match with few goals scored since.
TheTrollmanSha: Belgium is a pretty offensive team but they will probably play without De Bruyne and Hazard and so will lose offensive potential. Are coming from a win 1-0 versus Portugal and won’t concede easily. Italy so far conceded only 1 goal and so I expect a balanced and slow match, I try this Under 2.5 Full Time.
Salahsyh: Italy hasn’t conceded a goal yet in this tournament but this will be their biggest test now. Belgium played really well against Portugal winning 1-0. Italy couldn’t score at full time against Austria in the last game. I pick Belgium to win 2-0.
Sherbet: Italy is unbeaten since they started the competition. I think this is a game that can be considered a final, and Italy is going to be the winner here.
No Man: Belgium has proven itself as a strong contender for the cup as they eliminated Portugal from the competition. They are seen as strong rivals against their opponent Italy, who conceded their first goal in the competition against Austria. But I will trust my instincts and go for an Italy win.
Mitch: Italy struggled to beat Austria in the round of 16. Now 31 games without a loss, Italy is in complete confidence and seems capable of overthrowing any nation. The Belgians will therefore have to be wary, because I already see strong chances of qualifying for Italy, though with not more than 2.5 Goals.
Asian Football Bets: Italy has shown signs of weaknesses against Austria. I think, the Red Devils will prepare themselves very well and won’t allow Italy to win in the full time.
LLYTips: Italy has won 3 of the last 4 matches with Belgium, beating the team in the group stage of Euro 2016. I believe that this competition is a good chance for the Italian Golden Generation to finally win the trophy.
Mattybet: Two of the favorites to win the Euro will meet in the quarterfinals. Belgium will look to attack the wings with frontal and very fast attacks. Italy has very good defense and will try little by little to get Belgium out of their game.
Lorysan: For me, the Belgian national team is the favorite of this tournament. They won 4 games out of 4, I think they can beat the Italians here and advance to the semi-finals of the championship. Maybe we’ll see 2-1, 1-1, 2-0 here.
