In one of the qualification matches for the 2024 World Cup, the players of the national teams of Denmark and Finland will come face to face in Group C. Which of the rivals will get the victory in this duel? Our sports portal evaluates the chances of rivals for success.
ItalyThe Italian national team missed the last World Cup, and therefore the team probably wants to get to the European Championship in order to defend the status of the current champion of the continent.
"Skudra azzurra" got into an extremely difficult group, where in addition to England there is also North Macedonia, Ukraine and Malta. Recently, in the League of Nations, the Italians were able to win in their group, getting a ticket to the playoffs of the League of Nations. In November, Italy held two friendly meetings, defeating Albania (3:1), and also losing in the face-to-face confrontation to Austria (0:2).
EnglandThe England national team at the World Cup was able to reach the quarterfinals, losing to France in the playoffs with a score of 1:2. As for the League of Nations, the Three Lions team performed extremely poorly.
The team took the fourth place in the A-League of the tournament, gaining only 3 points in the results of 3 draws. As a result, the team was relegated from the top division, and now will be forced to play in the second strongest group. Since the World Cup, the Three Lions have not held friendly games. Statistics and figures:
Rivals have approximately equal chances of success;
- Italy has won three times in 5 matches;
- England have won three times in 5 previous meetings;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the opponents ended with a score of 1-0 in favor of "squadra azzurra".
- Forecast
I believe that Italy will be able to beat the opponent on its own field.
In addition, opponents will show a weak game in attack, and are unlikely to be able to break even a total of 2 goals. As a rule, the result of the game is decided by a single ball scored by one of the opponents during the match.
