Bet Builder Tip For Portugal Women vs Italy Women

As Italy Women prepare to face Portugal Women in a pivotal Group B encounter at UEFA Women’s Euro 2025, we’ve pieced together a Bet Builder that draws from current form, tactical patterns, and personnel match-ups. With both sides entering this fixture with very different momentum, the statistics provide a compelling base for a trio of selections.

Together, these markets combine narrative and probability into a high-value bet builder. Below, we break down each leg and justify its inclusion.

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

⚽ Bet 1: Sofia Cantore to Score Anytime

Italy have found their rhythm going forward, and while Arianna Caruso grabbed headlines with her stunner against Belgium, Sofia Cantore’s role out wide could be the key to unlocking Portugal’s shaky defence. A direct runner with strong positional instincts, Cantore is expected to keep Portugal’s full-backs pinned deep — and the stats suggest she’s due a goal.

Portugal conceded five against Spain and looked especially vulnerable down the flanks. Their wing-backs failed to cope with overlaps or tracking runners into the box, which led to frequent breakdowns in their defensive line. This sets up ideally for Cantore, who thrives in exploiting wide spaces and timing late darts into dangerous areas.

Italy’s attacking structure favours wide movement and diagonal balls from midfield — both of which match Cantore’s strengths. If Caruso and Giugliano can dictate play in the middle third, Cantore is likely to be on the receiving end of a few promising openings. Add to that the fact she’s pushing for a more advanced role under Andrea Soncin, and you have a solid case for her to get on the scoresheet.

With Portugal conceding 3+ goals in five of their last six and lacking leadership at the back, it would be no surprise to see Cantore take advantage and grab her first goal of the tournament.

🟨 Bet 2: Diana Gomes to Be Carded

While Portugal struggle going forward, their backline continues to face relentless pressure — and Diana Gomes, positioned centrally, has been right in the thick of it. In a defensive unit that has conceded 14 goals across their last four competitive matches, Gomes has been tasked with putting out too many fires — often resulting in late challenges or tactical fouls.

Gomes will likely be up against the pace and physicality of Girelli or the movement of Cantore, depending on where Italy rotate their front line. That’s a difficult prospect, especially given how exposed Portugal’s midfield can be in transition. When outnumbered or isolated, Gomes has shown a tendency to go to ground quickly, something that referees at this tournament have not overlooked — cards have come frequently for defenders under sustained pressure.

Additionally, with Portugal’s tournament hanging by a thread, frustration could creep into their performance. If Italy dominate possession and carve out early chances, expect a rise in defensive fouls from Gomes, who may be forced into cynical or recovery tackles to stem the flow. The likelihood of a booking rises further if Portugal resort to a low block, where timing challenges becomes even more difficult in and around the box.

Gomes is among the more aggressive defenders in Neto’s side, and in a high-stakes match against a more fluid, confident Italy, the risk of her entering the referee’s book is very real.

🚩 Bet 3: Each Team Over 3 Corners

This fixture may look one-sided on paper, but both teams are capable of forcing opportunities from wide areas. Italy’s attacking style encourages overlaps and cutbacks, regularly resulting in corners. Against Belgium, they forced multiple corners in both halves — a pattern that’s likely to repeat against Portugal’s disorganised defensive shape.

Meanwhile, Portugal — despite their recent poor form — still managed to push forward on occasion against Spain, particularly in the second half. Although they failed to score, they were able to fashion a few moments of attacking promise, especially from set plays and long-range efforts.

Both sides use width and tend to build play with patience in the final third. With full-backs encouraged to get forward and wingers willing to take on defenders, corners are a natural by-product. Given the likelihood of Italy dominating early and Portugal being forced to chase the game late on, there should be opportunities for both sides to surpass the three-corner threshold.

This leg adds balance to the Bet Builder — combining attacking dominance with late-game pressure from a side fighting for tournament survival.

Given the stakes, formation choices, and attacking tendencies, this market offers strong value.
