Italy will face off against England in the match of the 5th round of the group stage of the UEFA Nations League. Which of the A-League participants will be stronger?
Italy
Only in the second round, the Italian national team was able to leave the field with three points, beating Hungary at home (2-1), and remained winless in the other three. Twice Italy scored one point apiece, parting in peace with Germany (1-1) and England (0-0), and in another match lost 2-5 to Germany. But even despite the modest point additions, the Italians still remain in the fight for a ticket to the playoffs, lagging behind the first position by two points.
England
But England found itself in a difficult tournament position, which casts doubt on its participation in the A-League in the next UEFA Nations League draw. The fact is that after four matches, the British have only two points, which were scored in battles with Germany (1-1) and Italy (0-0), but the fights with Hungary did not bring a single point, moreover, in them England conceded five goals and never scored, losing 0-1 and 0-4.
Statistics and figures:
- Italy won in one round out of four;
- England is still without a win - 2 draws and 2 losses;
- In the first round match, Italy and England did not score goals.
Forecast
The most important game for both teams, so there should be goals in it, unlike the previous one, and from both sides.
