Italy vs Bahrain Prediction: Italy is hardly guaranteed a place at the Olympics

Prediction for the Italy vs Bahrain match which will take place on July 3rd. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

We can't say the Italians have a star-studded squad, but it is solid and balanced. The best-known players off the bench are the experienced Danilo Gallinari and Nico Mannion.

Incidentally, the Italians won both of their friendlies. First, Gianmarco Pozzecco's team beat Georgia 79:68 and then Spain 87:84 (73:73) in overtime.

Even by Asian standards, Bahrain is not one of the top teams. In their last game, in February this year, Bahrain lost 63:94 to Lebanon.

Bahrain has never participated in the Olympics or the World Cup, and their best result at the Asian Cup was a 10th-place finish in 1997.

Italy is hardly guaranteed a place at the Olympics, as the squad is not the strongest it has ever been. However, the Scuadra Adzurra will have no problem getting through the first stage—their opponents' level is too low. As a result, we are predicting an emphatic victory for the Italians. At the same time, we don't expect the match to be too effective—the statistics of both Italy and Bahrain's last matches suggest otherwise.
