Italy vs England 23.03.2023

As league football goes on break for some international action, Italy and England would begin their quest for a place at next year’s Euros in this Thursday’s Group C qualifiers. Having failed to make an appearance at 2 consecutive World Cups, Italy would be looking to begin this European qualification on a positive note as it could be pivotal in their push for a second continental title in a row. Also, they would be hoping to replicate their Nations League performance against England when 1-0 victory confirmed the Three Lions’ relegation to League B.

For England, they would be in the hunt for a first win against Italy since 2012. Having lost 3-2 on penalties at the last Euros and 1-0 in the Nations League, England are winless against the Azzurris in the last 6 games, drawing 4, losing 2. With the level of criticism Southgate has faced over the squad he called up, the Three Lions would hope to silence their doubters as they push for bright start to their qualifying campaign.

Looking at 3 of the last 5 meetings between both sides, we are backing both teams to find the back of the net in this tie.
