LiontipsItaly vs Northern Ireland: betting tip (cf 1.82) and bets on the World Cup qualification match
Command Analysis
Current form
Italy was usually the favorite in the qualifying group for the World Cup, but could not confirm this status. The national team finished in second place, passing ahead of the Norwegians. Characteristically, Squadra Azzurra lost both matches against Norway with virtually no chance of winning (0:3 and 1:4). On the positive side, it can be noted that under Gennaro Gattuso, the national team won five of the six matches played. Italy wrapped up the qualifying tournament with a home game against Norway and suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 1:4, although it led 1-0 after the first half.

Vicario, Di Lorenzo, Gabbia, Chiesa, Zaccagni and Scamacca are injured. Bastoni and Tonali are questionable.

Current form
In the qualifying tournament, Northern Ireland played in Group A, where Germany, Slovakia and Luxembourg competed. Predictably, in such a quartet, the national team finished in third place, ahead of Luxembourg. We managed to score nine points then. Michael O'Neill's team got into trouble due to their successful performance in the third strongest division of the League of Nations. The Northern Irishmen played their last match on November 17 on their own field in the qualifying tournament for the World Cup and defeated the Luxembourg national team with a minimum score of 1:0.

Tip and bets
Under Gattuso's leadership, the Italian national team has made progress in attack, in fact, there was only one setback against Norway, and even then in that match there was a complete failure in the second half. Today, the competition is noticeably inferior in class to Northern Ireland, which is having a hard time scoring goals and which will clearly rely on defense. In recent meetings, the Italians have found their chances in attack with Estonia and Moldova, who were beaten with an advantage of more than one goal. We don't think we should expect a sensation today.
Our betting tip is that Italy will win with an Asian handicap (-1.5) for a coefficient of 1.82
Bet on the total
In the last five matches under Gattuso's leadership, the Italians were the only ones who failed to hit the Norwegian goal more than once. The Azzurra Squadron's obvious progress in attack cannot be overlooked. We expect that the national team will delight the fans with an abundance of goals scored on its field in Bergamo.
The second bet is that Italy's individual goal total is over 2.5 with a coefficient of 1.78
Betting on corners
On the corners, the Italians are likely to win a landslide victory. There is a noticeable difference in class between the rivals, the hosts will obviously spend a lot of time at someone else's gate. Plus, according to statistics, in four of the last five matches, the Italian national team played more serves from the corner flag than the opponents.
Prediction – Italy wins on corners with a handicap (-3.5) with a coefficient of 1.98
