On paper, Italy should make light work of Romania but after the current World Champions hammering at the hands of Holland in the opening Group C fixture anything could happen. Both sides will be desperate for a win, which should lead to attacking football so there is no better time to take advantage of free bets from Betfair and Skybet on the outcome of this game. Italy suffered a devastating 3-0 defeat by a rampaging Netherlands team despite showing moments of brilliance themselves. They sorely missed their injured Captain, centre-half Fabio Cannavaro, without him, the defence looked lost and they gave away too many free kicks in dangerous positions. The Italians were also guilty of missing some guilt-edged chances but they did force some fine saves from the Dutch goalkeeper and then improved vastly when veteran striker Del Pierro came on as substitute.

The Romanians should be in good spirits after holding France to a goal-less draw in their opening fixture and after seeing Italy lose in emphatic fashion in their first group game Romania will see qualification as a distinct possibility rather than just a dream. Romania have a poor record against the Italians having lost ten of the 14 games they have played against each other but Italy have already shown they are not invincible despite what they might think.
