Australia vs Italy Tips, Predictions & Odds

Australia is still a fair way off its heyday, and although they have improved over the last few years, the All Blacks will be happy to have drawn them in their group for the 2027 World Cup. The Wallabies have losses to Ireland and France, and although Italy isn’t in the same class as the European heavyweights, we expect improvement from the Italians following a big loss to the All Blacks. They played well for 40 minutes, which should be enough to cover the +17.5 spread against an Australian outfit that isn’t used to scoring one-sided wins. Punters should expect a close game, and Italy could get its chance to pull off an upset late in the contest.
