Italy are known for having a strong defensive shape and the current squad they have at their disposal is no different. Roberto Mancini has been able to continue on the nation’s tradition by picking a squad which includes Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci and at the other end there is a lot to be desired with controversial striker Mario Balotelli the player with the most Azzuri goals in the current squad with 14 strikes. Under 1.5 goals is priced at 6/4 with Betway.

Anytime Goalscorer Prediction Italy v Poland

Lewdandowski remains as one of the planet’s best all-around goalscorers in 2018 and he has already showed why many regard him to be number one with his six goals already this season- including a hat trick in the German Super Cup to kickstart Bayern Munich’s 2018-19 season. He will be Poland’s best hope for goals in the new Nations League and will be looking to add to his 55 international goals as he nears his 100^th Polish cap. Lewandowski to score at any time is at 2/1 with Bet365.
