After easily beating Switzerland, Italy can now plan for a potential round of 16 opponent. However, they will have to beat Wales to secure top spot.
Manuel Locatelli was the star of the show against Switzerland, scoring a goal in each half to lead the Azzuri to the knockout stages.
Wales come into the game on the back of a 2-0 win over Turkey and hope to upset an in form Italy side on Sunday.
Italy to concede but win
Italy have been nothing short of sensational so far and have rightfully booked a place in the knockout stages. Their upcoming game against Wales should be a formality as they are expected to win again.
However, their clean sheet record will be under huge threat, considering the quality in attack they will face. Gareth Bale showed his magic on matchday two and is expected to come to the party again.
Aaron Ramsey, who currently plays for Juventus, will also offer a threat. An Italy win and over 2.5 will serve investors well.
The odds
Italy are huge favorites to win this game, with their odds priced at 1.48 by Betway and Wales have their odds pinned at 7.31. An Italy win and over 2.5 has been priced at 2.47.
