Team news

Preview
Getty ImagesAlthough they have scored an average of 3.5 goals per game so far in this competition, it is hard to see Wolves maintaining that prolific streak against a defence that conceded just 37 goals in 38 Serie A games last season – the fifth-best record in the league.
Instead, they are more likely to rely on the resolute backline that has only let in two goals in six matches so far this campaign, in what promises to be a closely-fought encounter.
Predictions
Indeed, odds of 8/11 (1.73) look well worth backing on no more than two goals being scored in a tight match between two sides that have conceded just three times between them in eight qualifiers so far this summer.
