⭐️ Editor's Pick
Italy are justifiably seen as favourites, but it won't be easy for them to blow out Denmark by a wide margin in every set. The Scandinavian side boasts a solid reception and consistently posts impressive scoring numbers, even against the top teams in European volleyball. That’s why we’re backing Denmark’s individual total over 67.5 points. An impressive record - this bet has landed in 16 of Denmark’s last 17 matches - fully supports the reliability of our pick.
