Italy V Montenegro WC Qualifier Picks

We have a pair of selections from the Italy V Montenegro World Cup qualifier matchup.

Italy is still atop group eight after Saturday`s 0-0 draw with Bulgaria.
Montenegro have played twice in this group so far, recording a 0-0 draw against Ireland and a 2-2 draw against Bulgaria.

As far as I can research it looks like Montenegro could be struggling for a 100% first choice team as they seem to have picked up quite a lot of injuries.

Of course the bookmakers have already taken this into account as Italy are as short as 1/7 and Montenegro as long as 16/1.

At these types of odds I would rather have another bet on the correct score market, the Italians rarely stretch themselves to try and rack up big scores and I think 2-0 will do us nicely, shop around for the 11/2 on offer.

In Italy`s quest to score, Alberto Gilardino and Giuseppe Rossi look set to start up front as regular striker Luca Toni is suspended.

Villareal forward Rossi earned his first cap last week and I quite like his chances of scoring in this match.
Only have the bet if Rossi starts the game but the 9/2 first goal scorer looks good to me (if he starts).

Bet Italy to win 2-0 at 11/2.
Rossi to score the first goal at 9/2.
