Burst into wild, spontaneous applause as Mystic Megson gazes into his crystal ball and casts his Italy v Republic of Ireland score prediction for Wednesday’s Euro 2016 group stage match, including goal-scorers and his own distinctive take on proceedings…

It’s almost too titonic for words! Who will portvale as Tony Conte’s Italiamen take on Marty O’Neill’s Republicans?

Italy have looked nothing if not classically Italian so far, keeping a Megnificently tight backside on their way to collecting point six out of six so far.

Nothing less than all point three will take Ireland through here, and while they managed to beat Italy at USA ’94 I just don’t forssell them doing it again here.

Now, here comes Mystic Megson’s Italy v Republic of Ireland score prediction for Wednesday June 22nd 2016 – place your balls, now!

Mystic Megson says Italy 1-0 Republic of Ireland
