Italy-Argentina Prediction & Tips
After attempts in 1985 and 1993, the “CONMEBOL-UEFA Cup of Champions” is back, the one-off challenge that pits the winning teams of the last edition of the Copa America and the European Championship against each other. Competing for the trophy in the setting of Wembley Stadium in London will be the Argentina of coach Lionel Scaloni and Italy led by Roberto Mancini. The Argentines last summer won their continent’s title by overcoming Brazil 1-0 in the final and since that match they have not lost a match, continuing their positive streak that now sees them unbeaten for 31 matches in a row. Of Italy, on the other hand, practically everything is known and after their own success at Wembley against England came a series of miserable results with defeat in the semifinals in the UEFA Nations League, the final stage of which was organized at home, followed by the far more serious elimination for the second time in a row in the qualifiers for the next World Cup, beaten at home by the certainly not irresistible North Macedonia. The last precedent with Argentina was a friendly dated 2018 won by the Seleccion albiceleste 2-0.
Argentina is unbeaten for 31 matches in a row among all competitions.
Argentina is unbeaten for 5 matches in a row against Italy with 3 wins and 2 draws.
In the last 11 matches among all competitions, Italy has won only 3 times: with “cinderella” Lithuania, in the useless third-fourth place final of the UEFA NationsLeague against Belgium and in a friendly in Turkey.
Argentina has scored at least 1 goal in 7 of the last 8 official matches.
Argentina has already won this trophy in 1993 when they beat Denmark on penalties in the final. The albiceleste is the major favorite, albeit at a high odds, and for this reason we choose the Double Chance X2 to which we associate the Under 3.5 also given Italy’s not exactly edifying performance in attack in decisive matches.
