At 20:45 at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium, Italy and England will face each other in the first day of qualifying for Euro 2024.
The two finalists of the previous edition of the tournament will meet again in the first match of this new edition of the European Championships.
Below is our pre-match analysis and the injury status of the two teams.
Italy's form
Italy, which is part of group C in this qualifying phase for Euro 2024, is obviously still at 0 points.
During the last 5 games, Italy has collected 3 victories and 2 defeats, scoring 8 goals and conceding as many, revealing a few flaws too many in its defense.
Mancini will be able to count on all his summons, among which we do not find the injured person Breakers.
Form of England
England are also 0 points in group C of Euro 2024 and tonight they will do everything to bring home the first 3 points of the competition.
In last 5 matches, the English have collected 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, scoring 13 goals and conceding 4.
Southgate will count on all his usual squad of summoned.
Italy – England: which team is the favourite
The match between Italy and England is anything but obvious. Her Majesty's subjects still have a bad taste in their mouths for the defeat in the final during Euro 2020 and will do everything to return the favor right from the qualifying phase.
Over the last 5 meetings between Italy and England, we can count 2 victories for Italy (one of which on penalties) and 3 draws. The two formations, therefore, tend to keep each other very well.
It must be said that the British recently faced the World Cup and they are more experienced than the Italians, who have not taken part in the top national football competition.
