ITALIA ........


I have to stick with Italy for their trip to play, an injury ravaged Georgian squad.

Arveladze, Kobiashvili, Gogua, Asatiani, Demetradze and Mujiri are all missing for sure, maybe one or two others. These are important players and several are seen as team leaders.

Italy took a while to get on top of the Ukraine and are still a little way short of their very best, but should have too much for, what is basically, a Georgian "b" team.

They will be keen to keep within 2 points of France, who face an easy looking tie against group whipping boys, Faroe Islands.

No slip ups from the visitors, away win. I will stick with the asian handicap, but also like the 0-2 scoreline, which is quoted at around 7.0 on the exchanges. This is the most common score in international matches, giving a margin of error and a degree of comfort.

4 points Italy -1.25 goals asian line 1.85.

Good Luck.
