Italy v Fluminese

[whareouttogetme]

On Sunday, Italy will face local club Fluminense in its final test before opening against England on June 14. The Azzurri also face Costa Rica and two-time champion Uruguay in Group D, considered one of the tournament's toughest.

"I'll tell you right away that we won't be brilliant. For many reasons, including the jet lag," Prandelli said of the Fluminense friendly. "But I decided to go up against a competitive opponent right away to immediately get into the World Cup mood."

Fluminese +0.5 or +1.5 depending on the odds maybe

1.5 should be good as Italy dont give a shit. still too risky, save your money on something youre 100 percent confident on champ.

I couldn't see Luxembourg scoring a goal either

Italy don't give a shit about friendlies and won't give it 100% (won't be going in for tackles/fighting for the ball in case of injuries). It's a local game too so Fluminese will be playing for their fans.

Plus the fact Prandelli said himself Italy won't be great, they'll be jet lagged and playing in that Brazilian climate. No doubt he'll be trying different tactics, and won't be risking many main players.

Fluminese 17/4
Draw 14/5
Italy 4/7

Hmmm, gonna wait for some more markets to open
