💰 Italy vs. Turkiye best bet

Italy ML & Under 4.5 goals (-120)
Italy has a new sheriff in town. Well, he’s an old sheriff who gets a second kick of the can as head coach.
Italy lost 2-0 at home to Belgium in Mancini’s first match in charge, but the Azzurri turned it around and delivered an impressive performance against Turkiye, winning 4-1.
Things went well in the subsequent match, too, with Italy conjuring a road draw against France. Italy will fancy their chances at home against a Turkiye side that have lost three straight Nations League games by a combined 8-1.
Score prediction: Italy 2, Turkiye 0

Pio Esposito anytime goal (+120)
While Esposito doesn’t always start, he’s quickly becoming an influential forward in the national setup. He has three goals in the previous five matches, scoring in successive friendlies before bagging one against Turkiye in the aforementioned 4-1 Nations League drubbing.
The Inter Milan frontman has two goals in five matches to start the domestic campaign, netting in his previous start against Udinese. Esposito scored in both matches he played the full 90 minutes.
He’s facing a Turkiye defense that has been particularly porous lately.
