Italy v France: Odds & advice

• Italy to win: 10/3
• Draw: 20/1
• France to win: 1/5

Tony Calvin: "The more that I look at the sides – and for me Italy have had the lock of the tournament in Federico Ruzza – the more I think the hosts may actually win this match. So even though the market has all been one-way in the last week, I still think there is a little bit of juice in a 10-point start."
