Italy have qualified for Euro 2020’s Round of 16 as top of Group A, and they will meet Austria, the second of Group C on June 26 at Wembley Stadium. The Azzurri prepared very well for this knockout phase by beating the three opponents they faced on the group stage while playing entertaining and convincing football. Moreover, Roberto Mancini had the chance to rest his 11 starting players against Wales and use the players who did not play in the first two games. This will enable the Italians to be fresher and more dynamic on match day while it will make them hungrier for football and for leading their team to the quarter-finals.
On the other side, Austria have already managed to satisfy their nation by qualifying from a difficult group after struggling against the Netherlands and winning against both Ukraine and North Macedonia. Yet, they will be looking forward to Saturday in order to keep the dream going and reach some advanced stages of the tournament. This is something that can only be achieved by believing in their chances, being patient, clinical, and playing as a team. Such an approach to this match can be successful while they will also need to find a solution to stop Italy’s very dangerous attacks, otherwise, Austria will suffer a lot from a defensive perspective especially if they will focus more on attacking. Leaving a lot of space for players like Insigne, Immobile, Berardi, and others can be destructive to the whole playing system.
