England vs Italy Head-to-Head Stats Record
After their 1-0 win last Friday over Australia in a friendly, England turn their attention to a more important Euro Qualifier clash tonight as they take on Italy at Wembley.
You can see the latest football news ahead of the game here.
Of course, England will still be reeling from the penalty shootout defeat Italy inflicted on them in the 2021 Euro Final a few years back, and since then the sides have met three times with an even spread of results – a win for each side and a draw.
The last of those meetings came in the Italy home leg of this fixture back in March and it was England that recorded a famous 1-2 away win thanks to goals from Declan Rice and Harry Kane, despite Luke Shaw seeing red in the 80th minute.
The current standings in Euro Group C, see England at the top of the table with 13 points, with Italy and Ukraine not far behind with 10 points, so this will be a huge game for both sides.
Looking at the England vs Italy head-to-head stats it tells us this will be the 32rd time the sides will meet and there’s not a not in it. Italy holds the slight edge with 11 wins to England’s 9, but there have also been a massive 11 draws – including 4 stalemates in the last six.
While it’s also worth pointing out that the last time England beat Italy on home soil was back in 1977 in a World Cup qualifier that ended 2-0 to the Three Lions.
Since that game the Azzurri have avoided defeat in England six times, with the most recent a 0-0 draw at Molineux in the Nations League in 2022 and, of course, another being that Euro 2021 final at Wembley.
England and Italy Have Drawn 4 Of The Last 6 Head-to-Heads
England’s last draw came against Ukraine – three games back (1-1) – and it was also three matches ago that Italy last played out a draw, which ended 1-1 as well, against North Macedonia.
The pair have recorded 5 draws in their last 9 head-to-heads and 4 in the last 6, so could another stalemate on Tuesday be on the cards.
It’s also the 1-1 correct score that’s had the best record, with 50% of the last 6 meetings ending with a 1-1 score draw.
10 Of The Last 14 Head-to-Heads Went Under 2.5 Goals
Yes, we saw three goals the last time the sides met in a 1-2 away win for England, but overall 10 of the last 14 head-to-heads between England and Italy have gone Under 2.5 Goals, which returns at a 71% strike-rate.
Harry Kane Will Be Looking His 60th England Goal
If you are having a bet in the scorers markets, then team news is always important in these international games.
However, after sitting out the Australia match, England’s main man up front and captain Harry Kane is sure to figure as he hunts for landmark 60 goals for his country.
The Munich man can be backed @ 13/10 to score anytime or 16/5 to get the first goal of the game.
Italy’s shortest-priced player in the goal scoring markets is Giacomo Raspadori, who plays for Napoli, at 13/2 (1st) or 13/1 (anytime), while Inter Milan’s Davide Frattesi has scored 3 goals in their last 2 matches and can be supported at 22/1 (1st) or 11/1 (anytime).
BTTS (Yes) Has Paid Out In 6 Of The Last 8 Meetings
Finally, another betting option based on the England vs Italy head-to-head stats is to side with BTTS (yes). This is because 75% of the last 8 clashes have seen each side find the back of the net, including in their last meeting back in March.
