Wednesday night’s Women’s Euro 2025 quarter-final encounter between Norway Women and Italy Women in Geneva is shaping up to be a gripping contest. Both sides have had their share of defensive lapses and attacking brilliance, and with knockout football raising the stakes, this match presents the ideal opportunity for a smart Bet Builder.

✅ Bet 1: Both Teams to Score
With both teams showing strong attacking form and fragile defences, BTTS (Yes) is a logical inclusion.
Norway have found the net in all three of their group games and enter this quarter-final having scored ten times in their last three matches. Even more impressively, they managed four goals against Iceland in a seven-goal thriller, underlining their direct attacking style and intent to push numbers forward.
On the flip side, Norway’s defence has been anything but assured. They’ve conceded five goals during the group stage—joint-most alongside Germany. Their backline often looked disjointed under pressure, particularly against Iceland, where they were opened up repeatedly in transition.
Italy, meanwhile, have also shown consistency in the final third. Despite losing to Spain in their final group outing, they still managed to score twice, thanks to incisive counter-attacks and creative play through the midfield. Cristiana Girelli, who has netted three times in her last three starts, remains a reliable source of goals.
Crucially, Italy have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last three outings, and their backline looked vulnerable against both Portugal and Spain. That defensive uncertainty, coupled with Norway’s high-octane style, makes BTTS a highly probable outcome.

✅ Bet 2: Over 10 Corners
Both Norway and Italy thrive on width, and with so much riding on this knockout clash, we expect plenty of action in wide areas leading to an abundance of corners.
Norway’s system relies heavily on overlapping full-backs and aggressive wing play. The return of Guro Reiten and Caroline Graham Hansen boosts their ability to stretch Italy’s backline, both of whom have been among the most dangerous wide players in the tournament. Hansen in particular enjoys taking on defenders and getting to the byline, often drawing blocks and forcing corners.
Italy are also well equipped to win corners. Lucia Di Guglielmo and Lisa Boattin often bomb forward from the flanks, while the likes of Cantore and Girelli regularly operate in advanced channels, forcing defenders into last-ditch tackles or deflections. Their matches have featured regular wide attacks and numerous set-piece opportunities.
With both sides likely to play with attacking intent and a full complement of pacey wingers, the corner count should rise steadily throughout the 90 minutes. Add in potential extra time, and Over 10 Corners feels like a valuable selection.

22/1 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning This well-balanced Bet Builder combines offensive momentum, wide play patterns, and a high-stakes midfield battle. Norway’s leaky defence and Italy’s sharp frontline suggest goals, while the attacking setups on both sides point towards a flurry of corners. Add in Boe Risa’s defensive workload, and a card feels inevitable. |
✅ Bet 3: Vilde Boe Risa to Be Carded
Norway midfielder Vilde Boe Risa is known for her combative presence in central areas, and in a game of such magnitude, her chances of being cautioned are higher than usual.
Italy’s midfield trio of Giugliano, Severini and Caruso are dynamic and love to play between the lines. To counter this, Boe Risa will be tasked with breaking up play, pressing aggressively, and halting quick transitions—exactly the kind of role that draws fouls and potential bookings.
She’s also positioned right in the heart of the action and is no stranger to committing tactical fouls when opponents break through the first line of pressure. In a tense knockout tie, where small margins matter, players in her role often get booked trying to disrupt rhythm and slow momentum.
With Italy likely to deploy fast and technical players in midfield, Boe Risa will be under pressure to intercept and react quickly. Her disciplinary history and match context make this a strong candidate for the third leg of the Bet Builder.m a top candidate to go into the book.
