Euro 2020 is kicking off this Friday 11th June with the opening game between Turkey and Italy. A much-anticipated challenge, especially since both sides have arguments in their workforce.
Three years after missing the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Italy wants to take its revenge with a rejuvenated squad. Italy should start competition against Turkey always difficult to play and as dangerous as in big events.
The Italians under Mancini are impressive. After missing the 2018 World Cup, squadra Azzura managed to set a new all-time record – 28 games without defeat.
The last friendly matches show that everything should go well in the next match. The victory over San Marino with a heavy score of 7 – 0 is an illustration. But the defeat of the Czech Republic with a score of 4 – 0 also raises questions. The Italians played well both in attack and defence, showing that they were very well prepared for the continental championship.
Mancini lined up all the main players of the match against the Czech Republic. It seems to me that the same team will be in the match against Turkey. It is very difficult to say what the Turks are capable of in this encounter. Because the last friendly matches were not with the strongest opponents. Turkey did not show everything there and did not always win. Italy in this match is clearly favorite. So they must trustfully win.
I will bet on Italy to win with a handicap (-1) for 2.08 in 1xBet. It seems to me that the Italians should win by two goals. I estimate this forecast on a scale of 10 points to 9.
