|  Saudi Arabia |
Betting suggestion:
The most likely scenario for this match will be the triumph of Italy by two goals difference. Despite being a friendly, we believe that Italy will seize their strong squad to return to the triumphs, which would be the first victory of the coach Roberto Mancini. On the other hand, Saudi Arabia doesn’t present enough weapons to achieve a good result in this match. So, and taking into account these factors, risking in favor of a loose win of the Italians is a good option.
