Italy U21 vs Spain U21 PREVIEW & PREDICTION 16/06/2019

A close match is announced between the two nations, which have talented batches of highly evolved players. Just because there is a lot of quality in the two teams, we expect few individual errors and very defensive defenses.

The match will be played in Bologna, the Renato Dall’Ara arena, and the group A at the U21 tournament is going for very interesting duels. The group also includes representatives from Belgium and Poland, who also have high-profile footballers in Europe. Italy has not won four consecutive games after losing the duels with England (1-2) and Germany (1-2) and drew with Austria (0-0) and Croatia (2-2).

It was not an ideal preparation before the home competition, but Di Biagio is optimistic and believes in the success of his boys: “We are nothing inferior to Spain, even if their football school has produced stunning results over the last decade. We have no inferiority complexes and we want to make our fans happy! It’s a very important match in the economy of qualification. ”

Spain made a recital in qualifying, where it ended with a victory in front of Iceland (7-2) and then won friendly matches with Denmark (4-1), Romania (1-0) and Austria (3-0). More than an impeccable tactical discipline, the Iberians have very promising footballers in the bout, as well as well-trained backers, who will be able to successfully block attacks from their opponents. Spain U21 won the last five direct duels with Italy, usually without emotions: 3-0, 3-1, 2-1, 4-2, 3-1. The Iberian quota is very attractive, even if the match is played on the Italians.

In Italy, there are names like Pellegrini, Zaniolo, Mandragora, Cutrone, Chiesa, Bonazzoli and Moise Kean, while Spain shines through Soler, Ceballos, Pedraza, Fornals and Mayoral and Vallejo. Draw can be a brave bet at the bid.
