Italy v England Six Nations Odds

The Italy v England Six Nations Odds for Sunday’s game in Rome sees England as the 1/7 odds on favourites to win the game and bounce back from last weekend’s disastrous second half performance against Wales at Twickenham. That result that has seen the odds on England winning this year’s Six Nations Championship move from the 2/1 second-favourites behind France before the first game to 6/1 and Brian Ashton’s side are going to have their work cut out if they are to defy the odds. The trip to Rome is the first of three away trips before they return to Twickenham to face Ireland in their final match.

England should justify their favourites tag in this game, given that in thirteen previous meetings between the sides, England have won them all. On the four occasions that England have travelled to the Stadio Flaminio since Italy joined the Six Nations Championship in 2000 they have won each time by an impressive average winning margin of 34 points. The odds on this trend continuing on Sunday are 14/1 with bookmaker Bet365, for England to win by a margin of between 31 and 35 points. Whilst on the handicap, England give up13 points and are odds of 10/11.

Coach Brian Ashton has been forced to make several changes to the side following the defeat to Wales due to injuries, with Luke Narraway the only non injured player to be missing. Lesley Vainikolo makes his first start for the team after coming off the bench last week and the former Rugby League star could be a good bet to score the first try of the game at odds of 13/2.
