Italy vs Austria Prediction & Tips
Italy will play against Austria in the round of 16 of Euro 2020. The match between these two teams will be played at the Wembley stadium in London. The Azzurri, therefore, will leave Rome after the group stage that saw them win at the Olimpico against Turkey, Switzerland and Wales without conceding a single goal. The group wanted by the coach Mancini is more and more united and the moments off the pitch show it: public opinion has rarely supported the national team as in this moment also because the Italy of the “Mancio” is a team that has fun and has fun and the former Inter coach was able to convey that change of pace that was needed after the flops of the previous management.
As mentioned, Italy closed the first phase with full points and in the last match, last Sunday’s match against Wales, they won 1-0 with a goal by Matteo Pessina at the end of a match in which the ct wanted to give vent to a large turnover by confirming that the players of this national team are well interchangeable with each other and can all be considered owners. So far, among other things, 25 of the 26 players in the squad have played in Italy. Mancini will be spoiled for choice also for the match against Austria and this is certainly an advantage. The insiders expected Ukraine as an opponent of the Azzurri and instead Shevchenko’s team fell in the last meeting with the eleven coached by the German Franco Foda: to resolve the dispute only one goal that bears the signature of Christoph Baumgartner, midfielder who plays in the German Bundesliga with the Hoffenheim shirt. Previously, in the other two group matches, Austria had won 3-1 against Macedonia and then lost to the Netherlands 2-0.
Austria has already broken two records in this edition of the European Championships because they had never won a single match before and, consequently, had never qualified for the round of 16. Only 2 of the 26 called up by Foda play in the local championship. The force majeure (21 players) plays in Germany and Italy will have to be careful not to underestimate a team that some gave eliminated on the eve or otherwise at stake to qualify among the best third. Italy, as mentioned, is in a great moment: the blue team has joined a historical representative, that of Vittorio Pozzo who, like the current one, 82 years ago obtained 30 consecutive useful results. Furthermore, the Azzurri have won 11 games without conceding a goal and Mr. Mancini said he wanted to return to London after this match to play the semifinal and final.
Italy and Austria have already faced each other 35 times in history. The first was on 22 December 1912 with an Austrian 1-3 win in Genoa and the last on 20 August 2008 with a 2-2 draw in Nice, France. Italy has an advantage in direct comparisons, above all thanks to the results obtained from 1962 to today. In fact, we must go back to 1960 to find the last victory of the Austrians: it was December 10 and in a friendly match played in Naples they won 1-2.
Italy have won the last 11 games played without conceding a single goal.
Italy is unbeaten in 30 consecutive games across all competitions, with 25 wins and 5 draws.
Italy are unbeaten in 13 consecutive games against Austria with 10 wins and 3 draws.
Austria scored at least 1 goal in only 2 of their last 6 matches and did so in the two games they won at Euro 2020.
Italy have scored at least 1 goal for Austria in 25 of their last 26 direct matches.
Italy is our favorite for this match for a number of obvious reasons: 11 wins in a row without conceding a goal, 10 wins in the last 13 matches against Austria, harmony in the game and a very relaxed environment. Leaving Rome after the group stage could be the only limit, but the great moment of the Azzurri must go hand in hand with our desire to monetize at best with this match and therefore we still suggest a combo that has Italy’s victory at the No Goals.
