Football Predictions
Italy, the current European champions, face a challenging path to defend their title in Germany next year. Their recent 1-1 draw against North Macedonia, overseen by new coach Luciano Spalletti, puts them three points behind Ukraine, though they have an extra game to play. Their upcoming game at San Siro is crucial with crucial matches against Ukraine and group leader England looming. Italy’s inconsistent home performance, with only two wins in their last seven games, casts doubt on their ability to secure a much-needed victory. Meanwhile, Ukraine comes to Milan after a charged match against England.
Ukraine showcased their spirit by drawing 1-1 with England, even though the match was played far from home in Wroclaw, Poland. The Ukrainian team, led by Serhiy Rebrov, has been formidable, losing only three times in their last 23 international games. Italy’s defense may be tested, as they’ve managed just two clean sheets in their last 11 games, while Ukraine has been potent in scoring, especially in away games. The upcoming match is expected to be intense, with both teams having a history of frequent fouls in Group C. This might limit the number of goals, potentially favoring Ukraine. Given Ukraine’s recent resilience, they could very well secure a draw in Milan, maintaining their lead over Italy.
