Our Italy vs Belgium prediction is Kevin De Bruyne to have a shot on target at 5/6, a 70% chance on his own record against the 55% the price implies.
The best fixture of the round and the deepest card of selections: six tracked bets across three markets. Belgium take 18.9 shots a game and hit 6.8 on target, both the highest figures on Friday, and carry an expected goals number of 2.23. Italy are no slouches at 15.9 and 5.7.

Italy vs Belgium Prediction
Kevin De Bruyne to have a shot on target, 5/6. The reasoning, the record behind it and the implied probability are in the tips section below, and every selection carries our own percentage beside the bookmaker’s.
What We Are Not Backing, and Why
The markets we looked at and left alone, with the numbers, because a preview that only tells you what to back is hiding half the work.
- The result at 2.20, 3.50 and 3.20. Italy 43%, the draw 27%, Belgium 30% once the margin comes out. We make it the same.
- Over 9.5 corners at 5/6. Belgium win 7.35 corners a game and Italy 5.70, and our number comes out at 84% against 55% implied. A gap that size is further than we trust the estimate, so it sits in the bet builder rather than the best bets.
- The card markets. Daniel Siebert referees, and his own rate is 4.23 yellows a game — a real number rather than a default, so the market is open to us here. Nothing clears the bar: Bastoni at 31% against an implied 27% is the closest.
Our shots on target tips cover the same market across every competition we price. The fouls markets are the ones our tackles and fouls tips are built on. Corners selections sit alongside the rest of our value bets.
Team News and Who Is Actually Available
We do not publish a predicted eleven. Nobody knows one this far out and a guess dressed as team news helps no one. What we publish instead is who the bookmaker has priced, which is a harder signal: bet365 will not put a price on a player who cannot feature, and they have money riding on being right.
13 Italy players and 15 Belgium players carry prices on this fixture. Every one appears in the tables below. Anyone not priced has been stripped out.
Italy vs Belgium Corners
Italy win 5.7 corners a game and Belgium 7.35, with 3.05 and 4.0 of those in the first half. Italy take 15.9 shots a game to Belgium’s 18.9, and shot volume is what drives corner counts. The line is 9.5 and we make 10 or more a 84% chance against the 55% implied by 5/6.
