Italy vs. Uruguay World Cup betting odds had Italy as an 8/5 favorite, Uruguay at 7/5 and the Draw at 9/4 in this very tight matchup with important ramifications. Action is pretty balanced between both sides and the Draw.
A draw is good enough for Italy to qualify as they have a superior goal different to Uruguay. The Uruguayans need to win to reach the knock-out stages.
Italy have managed just two wins in nine previous attempts against Uruguay (incl. 1980 Copo d’Oro, D4 L3).
Uruguay last faced Italy in the 2013 Confederations Cup; they were beaten for the third place, by way of a penalty shootout.
Italy have lost only three of their 19 World Cup games against South American opposition - round 1 game against Chile in 1962, the 1970 final and the 1978 third place game against Brazil.
Uruguay have faced Italy twice in the FIFA World Cup; they failed to score in both matches (D1 L1).
