Uruguay vs Italy Pre Game Thoughts/Predictions

[firekillex]

So a huge match is coming up in Group D between Uruguay and Italy, Uruguay needs a W to continue into the round 16 so theyll have to play for everything this game, Italy will pressure but they are happy with a win or draw.. Odds are at +180 for Uruguay/ +165 for Italy and +220 for a draw. I personally have Uruguay winning 2-1 but i could very well see a draw to. With Suarez back they looked like a new team against England, compared to the Costa Rica loss. These are 2 talented teams, should be a close match, who do you guys have ???

So, Suarez is back and Italy look awful again. Everything points to a tight victory by Uruguay.

That means I am betting Italy and over. Because I am the worse picker this world cup.

I'm thinking draw in the first half, Uruguay ML on the full game.

Italy is wearing out really fast in the hot and humid weather, they struggle to keep pace at the end of first half, and the second half they just have no gas and Pirlo starts sending long balls to Balotelli.

I see Uruguay getting the winner at the later stages of the game...

Italy's starting XI is great, they should beat Uruguay.

Plus Italy's B team beat Uruguay last year in the Confed cup

[MustWinPlease]

italy will grind out a result as they always do

im leaning towards a draw right now the most, but its a hard decision, very close teams but uruguay seems to have the momentum

[aka47gun]

I think Uruguay will win as they are technically playing at home. So I think Uruguay pk will be a good move just in case the draw

[yanksallday7]

This one is the only match that has me at a toss up. All sides point to Uruguay, Italy does have the potential though. Definitely won't be a draw.

[vasilli07]

Italy usually step up their game against stronger opposition. A switch back to more successful 3-5-2 is also a big positive. And there won't be Gerrard assisting Suarez with the goals again.

Uruguay do not play well in hot and humid weather too Uruguay isnt a hot Country and the squad is really old i think that it will be decided by the physical conditions in the late game.

I think Uruguay will beat Italy.

[oldscho0led]

If you're thinking Uruguay, then bet the AH(0) or DNB (whichever has the higher odds), not Uruguay straight up. More of a conservative bet. But I'm leaning the Italians here. Like what the poster above said, they always grind out a win.
