Italy vs England Prediction 22 March 2023
In the match of the first round of qualifying for Euro 2024, we will see the top battle between Italy and England.
Italy missed the World Cup in Qatar, and in the play-offs for the right to play in the World Cup, they lost 0:1 to modest North Macedonia. On the other hand, Squadra Azzurra triumphantly won its group of the Nations League with Germany, Hungary and England, and also performed with varying degrees of success in friendly sparring with Albania (3:1) and Austria (0:2).
While England, following the results of the Nations League, were relegated to Division B, which was a resounding failure for one of the strongest teams in the world. Southgate's men showed their status at the 2022 World Cup, where, after successful games with Iran (6:2), the USA (0:0), Wales (3:0) and Senegal (3:0), only France stopped them 1:2.
The last meetings of these teams were held in a stubborn struggle and very rarely please fans with high performance. As for us, we will see something similar now, because no one plans to take risks at the start of the qualifying round.
