Belgium v Italy Tipp & Quoten, 02.07.2021 – 21:00 o’clock
On Friday evening, 02.07.2021 at 9 pm, the national teams of Belgium and Italy will compete in the second quarter-final of the European Championship in the Munich Allianz Arena. The Red Devils and the Squadra Azzurra both played a perfect preliminary round with nine points each and the group victory. In the eighteen-final, Belgium eliminated Portugal, the defending champion, last Sunday, and the southern Europeans needed the extra time against Austria to do justice to their favourite role.

The national team of Roberto Martinez and the Portuguese did not dare to do much in the first half for a long time. Despite Diogo Jota’s first rapprochement, the two strong offensive lines were hardly successful (6th). A strong free kick from Cristiano Ronaldo could be booked as a half chance (25th). On the opposite side Meunier hit the outer net (37th). The defending champion worked well and organized against the ball. The Red Devils came so scarcely dangerously in front of the Selecao. Then Thorgan Hazard hit it from around 20 meters and scored 1-0 for Belgium (42nd). After the change of side, Portugal constricted the Belgians, but also had to be careful not to run into the open knife against the counter-strong team. A good balance chance of Jota was neglected (58th). In the final phase Portugal threw everything forward – Dias failed at Courtois (82nd) before Guerreiro’s shot clapped at the post (83rd). The compensation was in the air, but it did not fall any more. A happy victory for Belgium.
The Martinez team thus celebrated their fourth win in the fourth game at the EURO and only scored one goal. During the group stage, the Red Devils celebrated the group victory with three full successes against Russia (3-0), Denmark (2-1) and Finland (2-0). At the final round of the 2016 European Championships in France, Belgium also made it to the last eight teams and then failed surprisingly due to Wales (1:3).
Belgium’s Golden Generation is the second best offensive team with eight tournament goals. Superstar Romelu Lukaku (3 goals) is in front of Thorgan Hazard (2) as well as Kevin De Bruyne and Thomas Meunier (each a booth) the best clipper in the Belgian national jersey. T. Hazard of Borussia Dortmund has outnumbered his brother and Belgium captain Eden Hazard of Real Madrid through the two EC goals.
Timothy Castagne (Leicester City) will no longer play a role in this EURO. The right-wing defender has pulled a fracture of the eye socket and will be out until the end of July. Eden Hazard (Real Madrid) and Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City) had to be replaced by Portugal with muscle injuries and are therefore questionable for the quarter-final match against Italy.

The Azzurri quickly made it clear where the journey was going against the ÖFB team. With a lot of speed and combination football, Italy only let the Austrians run after them in the first few minutes – Ösi finalist Bachmann parried against Insigne (14th) and Barella (17th). On the other side Arnautovic scored the first goal for his country (18th). Otherwise, the ÖFB team was harmless and struggled to keep up with the pace of the Squadra Azzurra on the defensive. However, there were no longer any great margin possibilities for the southern Europeans. The Alpine footballers managed to adapt better to Roberto Mancini’s national team in the last 20 minutes. After the break tea, Austria became stronger and had good opportunities through Arnautovic and an alaba free kick (49th, 52nd). On the other side Bonucci headed clearly too high after a corner (56th). Italy was still the better team, but the red and white reds found themselves better and better in the game and then went through Arnautovic’s header with 1:0 in front (65th). However, the attacker stood gently in the sidelines and was whistled back. The game was on the rocks and Austria was even the better team in stages. After a goalless 90 minutes, he went into overtime, in which the favourite then promptly seized his chances – Chiesa (95th) and Pessina (105th) scored 2-0 for Italia. The substitute Kalajdzic shortened to 1:2 (117th) after a corner ball by head from a short distance, but it was no longer enough to equalise. It was a trembling victory for Italy, but it was fine in the end.
The Mancini-Elf scored their first goal at the European Championships after more than 1000 minutes and only in the 117th minute of overtime in the eighth finals against Austria (2:1). The preliminary round against Turkey (3-0), Switzerland (3-0) and Wales (1-0) was playfully convincing. After the group stage, the Azzurri was the team that won the most points at the European Championships. The four-time world champion has been unbeaten for 31 consecutive international games and last lost in 2018 in September. At the European Championship five years ago, the Squadra Azurra eliminated the Spaniards in the eighth finals (2:0), before failing in the quarter-finals to Germany after a penalty shootout.
Together with Denmark, the Italians scored the most goals in the EURO. Both nations cheered nine times after four European Championship games. Ciro Immobile, Manuel Locatelli and Matteo Pessina each scored two goals for the Azzurri.
Captain Giorgio Chiellini and Alessandro Florenzi lost to Austria in the eighth finals due to injury. Chiellini should be able to play Belgium again and Florenzi will probably only be available again at a possible semi-final.

There is no favourite between Belgium and Italy. The only thing that is certain is that it will catch one of the two top favourites in the quarter-finals, just like at the 2016 European Championships. The Red Devils and the Squadra Azzurra both scored full points in the three group games and were able to convince. In the eighteen-final games, they both turned out harder. The Belgians trembled against Portugal in the quarter-finals and the Azzurri even had to overtake Austria in overtime as their top favourite. We predict that not many goals will be scored in the Allianz Arena, as both teams will not risk much for a long time if the score is zero. A decision only in overtime or in a penalty shootout is very likely.
Accordingly, we have the Under 2.5 Goals bets on this EM 2021 tip forecast. The sports betting tip wins if the match has no more than 2 hits. Alternatively, you can bet on the tie. Accordingly, the 3-way bets on X must then be selected. Depending on the EM tip, the betting odds offered will then vary. Personally, we tend to bet more on the goal on the Under 2.5.
