Today a friendly football match will take place between the national teams of Italy and Turkey.
The Italians didn’t perform at their best during the Euro qualifiers, but still managed to clinch the second spot. A star-studded team, with high expectations for the upcoming tournament. In their last ten encounters, they only lost to England (1:3) and Spain (1:2), while putting up solid performances in the rest of their matches.
The visitors are also set to appear in the Euros, having topped their group. The Turkish side didn’t excel in recent friendlies, suffering a shocking defeat against Austria (1:6) and another loss to Hungary (0:1). However, disregarding these last two matches, Turkey showed strong performances. The squad is in excellent shape, boasting many young prospects eager for victory and ready to give their all in every game.
Since 2021, the teams have faced each other twice, with Italy winning both encounters (3:2, 3:0).
Turkey is far from an easy opponent for Italy, so a tense game is expected. I think both teams to score – yes at 1.70 is likely, as both teams are adept in attack. For the winner, I would still choose Italy at 1.58 (predicted score: 2:1, 3:1).
