On June 26, the match of the 1/8 finals of Euro 2020 between the national teams of Italy and Austria will take place. The forecast for this match is given by the well-known commentator of the Match TV channel Konstantin Genich.
Not to say that this is the first serious rival on the way for Italy. Italy is playing very well, it has confidently outplayed everyone — the Turks, the Swiss, and the Welsh. Italy has not conceded a single goal yet. So far, Italy shows the most memorable football along with the Netherlands national team. She has already had a 30-match unbeaten streak.
Austria understands that it is playing with the absolute favorite of this pair. Franco Foda's team will probably not put so much pressure on this time. My first thought was to play corners, because Austria gave a lot of corners in the game with Ukraine (9, 8 of them in the first half). But after thinking about it, analyzing how the teams played in the group stage, I noted that Italy almost always scores in the second half.
That's what Genich is betting on – Italy's victory in the second half.
