Italy vs. England Prediction

• Where: Giuseppe Meazza, Milan, Italy
• When: Friday, September 23, 8:45 PM ET

Italy and England meet to save the honor in the UEFA Nations League and the spot in this competition’s elite echelon. For the moment, the Three Lions are dead last in Group 3, with only two points in four events, while Italy has one win, which currently gives them an edge regarding the position in this assembly. Neither side has performed well since the start of the competition, and they simply need to step up and improve the impression.

Italy vs. England Preview

Italy

Azzuri suffered a tough defeat against Germany on the road, with Die Mannschaft blowing them into pieces, 5-2. Following last year’s win at the EURO (against England in the finals), this unit simply fell apart, missing even a World Cup in Qatar, following terrible performances in the qualifiers.

We don’t know what happened to Italy, whether it is a championship hangover or something else, but the team isn’t playing well. They have only two wins in the last nine games, one over the previous five contests.

The most recent game at home was a win over Hungary in the UNL, 2-1, but prior to that one, Italy had one loss and two draws, with the defeat against North Macedonia in the World Cup playoffs.

England

The Three Lions have high ambitions for the upcoming World Cup, but they aren’t playing well right now. After a brilliant finish to the World Cup qualifiers, and a direct advance to the knockout stage, Albion collapsed.

Maybe Gareth Southgate isn’t willing to push his players into giving their maximum right now, but not winning the recent four matches (two draws and losses each), and failing to score in three of those contests is just too much for an average English fan.

What made the fanbase particularly mad, was a loss at Wembley in the latest UNL clash, when Hungary demolished England, 0-4. These two nations developed some kind of rivalry in recent times, and this defeat was interpreted as a massive slap in the face.

Italy vs. England Prediction

These two teams are in terrible shape right now. Whoever losses here would be in an adamant position regarding its status in the A league, so we can say that the stakes are a bit higher than normal. From our point of view, the best pick is both teams scoring, with both units struggling to deliver defensively. We’ve seen them providing some pretty poor performances lately.

Our verdict: Both teams to score
