England are heavy 1/2 favourites to beat Italy in the semi-final of the women’s European Championship. 

The Lionesses are two wins away from defending their crown after progressing to the last-four stage with a nail-biting penalty shootout win over Sweden.

Sky Bet are also offering several Price Boosts for the occasion. These include Georgia Stanway 2+ fouls won in 90 mins, boosted to 1/1 from 5/6. Odds for Lauren James to have 3+ shots on target in 90 mins have also been boosted from 4/1 to 5/1. 

For Alessia Russo to score two or more goals in 90 minutes is now priced at 7/1, from 6/1, while odds for there to be six or more shots on target by each side in 90 minutes have now been boosted to 9/1 from 8/1.
