ITALY OR FRANCE?

Paddy Power's bets ahead of the massive Italy v France Euro 2008 game.

Two into one doesn't go so there is all to play for in tonight's big Italy v France match!

Paddy Power are struggling to separate the World Cup finalists; Italy are slight favourites at 6/4 probably because they traditionally get stronger in tournaments as they go on, while the French are 13/8 to win this in 90 minutes.

Both teams met in the World Cup final, that famous game that was won by Italy on penalties and Zinidine Zidane was sent off for his headbutt on former Everton man Marco Materazzi, only one them will be playing tonight but Zizou's former team mates may well look for revenge over the fiery Italian. Paddy Power will refund all losing 1^st/last scorer, correct score and scorecast bets on this match if there is another red card.

13/8      France win
11/4      Draw
6/4        Italy win

Both teams have only scored one goal so far in the tournament. The better news for France is that Thierry Henry scored their goal while Christian Panucci - the Italian right back - scored theirs. Luca Toni needs to be more clinical in front of goal tonight while Henry will need support from the rest of Les Bleus

Of course it's possible that either team could win this but still fail to go through, if Romania beat Holland then they will go through and France and Italy will be playing for 3^rd place! There is even the embarrassing possibility that France and Italy could go to a penalty shoot out to see who finishes in the irrelevant 3^rd spot in Group C
