On June 26, the match of the 1/8 finals of Euro 2020 between the national teams of Italy and Austria will take place. Maxim Kalinichenko, a former football player of Spartak Moscow, offers his forecast for this match.
The Italians showed great football both in qualifying games and in friendly matches. So no one was surprised by the results that Mancini's team showed in the group stage of the Euro. The Italians won all three matches without conceding. Their streak without losing and conceding goals is still ongoing.
The Austrians are a very difficult team, most of whose players play in the Bundesliga. In principle, this is a fairly balanced team. Of course, she has weak points, especially in defense.
Kalinichenko puts on the victory of Italy, but with a handicap of -1 goal.
