Italy favored to win it all
Italy will overcome the odds to beat defending champion Brazil and win soccer's World Cup final for the fourth time at this year's tournament in Germany, according to research by Swiss bank UBS AG. The world's largest wealth manager draws on its experience in statistics and econometrics to predict that Italy, the 15-2 favorite, will beat the 11-4 five-time champion in the July 9 showpiece in Berlin.
"I wouldn't put money on it, but if our model is successful, it shows that Italy has a big chance of winning," Andreas Hoefert, UBS's deputy head of global investment recommendations, said in a telephone interview.
