Italy vs England match preview & prediction

[Julio88]

In four of the previous five meetings between these two elite footballing nations, stalemates were decided after ninety minutes. I anticipate the same outcome on Thursday. Both England and Italy have not played since their World Cup losses to France and Austria, in a friendly, respectively, and I do not anticipate either team winning their opening match in these European qualification matches. With that being said, I believe a draw will ensue here.

I was very scared of predicting this particular match yesterday because i know there's tight rivalry between Italy and England but england was later able to win the match thanks to harry Kane penalty

This rivalry has been quite tense, and goals normally come at a premium because both defences do not lose their composure or their heads to gift their opposing strikers chances at goal, to be quite frank.
