Bet Builder Tip For Belgium Women vs Italy Women

The Women’s Euro 2025 kicks off for Group B with a tense opening encounter between Belgium Women and Italy Women at the Stade de Tourbillon. With both nations eyeing a vital three points in a group that also features Spain and Portugal, this tie already carries major qualification implications.

For punters looking to build a Bet Builder, we’ve selected a three-part combination based on tactical patterns, squad trends, and recent tournament form.

Here’s our Bet Builder pick for Belgium Women vs Italy Women, which has been placed with William Hill:

✅ Leg 1: Belgium Women to Win

Belgium’s recent resurgence under new management has started to yield more decisive results, even if inconsistency remains a factor. Their path to the finals wasn’t straightforward, having finished third in their qualifying group behind Spain and Denmark, but they found rhythm when it mattered — cruising past Greece and Ukraine in the playoffs with a combined scoreline of 9-1.

This match carries added psychological weight too. In the last Euros, Belgium edged Italy 1-0 in the group stage — a result that helped them reach the quarter-finals for the first time in their history. That prior success could give them a mental edge going into Thursday’s clash.

With Tessa Wullaert leading the line — a striker with 88 international goals to her name — Belgium carry a potent attacking threat. Italy, meanwhile, have exited at the group stage in the last two tournaments and come into this match having failed to win five of their last seven outings. Though Italy topped their qualifying group, the performances often lacked dominance.

Belgium may have shown defensive fragility — conceding 22 goals in their last nine fixtures — but against an Italy side still in transition and lacking a natural goal machine, their superior match sharpness from the playoffs could prove decisive.

🧠 Key stat: Belgium have won three of their last six, including a notable win over Ukraine (3-1) in the playoff second leg, while Italy haven’t won a Euros match since 2009.

✅ Leg 2: Belgium Women Most Cards

Belgium’s aggressive approach in midfield and defence has become more apparent in recent months. Their attempts to compensate for a vulnerable backline often lead to fouls in dangerous areas — something that tends to translate into bookings.

With Sari Kees and Janice Cayman operating in the back three, and Vanhaevermaet anchoring the midfield, Belgium are not short of players willing to put their foot in. Their Nations League campaign saw several matches where they picked up more cautions than their opponents, reflecting their reactive style when under sustained pressure.

Italy are likely to dominate possession in phases, especially with playmakers like Manuela Giugliano and Arianna Caruso dictating tempo in midfield. This dynamic should lead to more defensive interventions from Belgium, especially if they take the lead and need to absorb pressure late on.

Given the context of a tournament opener — often nervy, physical and disjointed — a higher card count for Belgium feels not only plausible but likely.

🧠 Key stat: Belgium conceded 22 goals across nine recent internationals — evidence of defensive instability that often results in bookings through last-ditch defending.

✅ Leg 3: Italy Women Most Corners

Italy’s strength under Andrea Soncin lies in their width and delivery into the area. With Barbara Bonansea on one flank and Sofia Cantore likely to stretch play on the other, Le Azzurre frequently create overloads in wide areas. Against teams that sit back, Italy often rack up corners due to blocked crosses and deflected shots from around the box.

Belgium, in contrast, are expected to play more conservatively once ahead, relying on quick counters rather than sustained attacking pressure. This would naturally lead to fewer corner opportunities.

Additionally, Cristiana Girelli will be a focal point in the box, and Italy’s attacking structure is built around feeding her aerial opportunities. Set-piece routines, wide build-up play, and overlapping full-backs like Lucia Di Guglielmo will all contribute to a high corner count.

Italy may not control the scoreboard, but the territory they gain — particularly if chasing the game — should be reflected in the corners statistic.

🧠 Key stat: In qualifying, Italy often out-cornered their opponents even in drawn or lost matches, showing their tactical commitment to wide delivery.
