Euro 2020: Italy ($1.44) vs Wales ($8) \u2013 21st June @2am<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Group A\u2019s two undefeated teams will face each other at 2am Monday to decide who will top the group and get an easier path in the knockout stages.<\/p>\n

Italy\u2019s Euro 2020 has been flawless so far, beating both Turkey and Switzerland 3-0. Once again, they return to Rome\u2019s Stadio Olimpico which has become a fortress for the Azzurri.<\/p>\n

Wales themselves remain unbeaten, defeating Turkey 2-0 in a thoroughly deserved win, after drawing their opening match with Switzerland. The Welshmen could top Group A with victory over Italy, but even losing by less than 3 goals would mean that they would qualify second in the group.<\/p>\n

Italy manager Roberto Mancini might be tempted to rest captain Giorgio Chiellini after he picked up a knock against Switzerland.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Wales aren\u2019t expected to make any major changes after their emphatic victory of Turkey.<\/p>\n

Players to Watch<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gareth Bale: <\/strong>He might be almost 32 years old, but Bale is still Wales\u2019 best player. He was fantastic in his country\u2019s 2-0 win over Turkey, despite missing a penalty. He supplied a sublime ball to Aaron Ramsey to set up Wales\u2019 first goal, before the captain skipped past Turkish defenders with ease to assist for their second.<\/p>\n

Manuel Locatelli: <\/strong>This is fast becoming a breakout tournament for the Sassuolo midfielder. He was different gravy against Switzerland, becoming only Italy\u2019s third player in history to score a brace at the Euros, including a goal from outside the box.<\/p>\n
