Comments on Italy vs England: Long tiger fight
At the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, Italy could not win tickets to go on and coach Mancini's teachers and students suffered a lot of criticism from the fans of the country of pasta. Back to the present time, the Euro 2024 qualifier will be a tournament for the Azzurri to regain the trust of the fans.
However, luck was not on Italy's side because on the very first day of the army, they had a one-on-one battle with England. Remember, this is considered the final match of Group C, and the outcome of this match will greatly affect the chances of both going through.
According to the assessment, Italy has the advantage of the field, but with the current form and chipped squad (especially in attack) due to injury, the home team Diego Armando Maradona should be satisfied with a split result.
With the away team, England entered this match with the highest determination and they very much wanted to repay the debt they had received against Italy in the Euro 2020 final or in the Nations League 2022/23. However, with the current form away from home (without winning the last 3 away matches in European tournaments), it is difficult for the Three Lions to win all 3 points from the hands of the Thien Thanh team.
O/U ratio (2 1/4): The last 5 confrontations between Italy and England had no more than 2 goals scored per game. 3 of Italy's last 4 matches about Under 2 1/4.
- Italy: Donnarumma; Acerbi, Bonucci, Toloi; Spinazzola, Verratti, Cristante, Barella, Di Lorenzo; Retegui, Raspadori.
- England: Pickford; Chilwell, Maguire, Stones, James; Rice, Bellingham, Henderson; Foden, Saka, Kane.
