⚽ UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany ⚽ - Qualifiers👉Group Stage

[bitgolden]

Match between Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Iceland,  Bosnia and Herzegovina have a new manager, Faruk Hadzibegic and he was appointed a couple of months ago to bring some joy back to this football loving nation. However, there are a lot of unknowns about how the team will look as the new coach didn't have much time to figure out the way how he wants his squad to play. The game Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Iceland will be played in the home team's favorite surroundings, Bilino Polje stadium in Zenica, and with the legendary Edin Dzeko still captaining the ship, the hosts will look to bolster their chances of a good start to the qualifying campaign. Bosnia and Herzegovina players will aim to change the narrative of their latest sub-par performances, especially the last competitive match that was played in September and which they lost 4-1 to Romania. The positive aspect for Bosnia and Herzegovina is that they won their last four matches at home. Iceland has won only two games out of their last 16 which will be something that the visiting team's players will try to change.

Iceland is a small nation with some consistency, whereas Bosnia could be a bigger nation but less consistency. There are times when Bosnia is better, and there are times when they are terrible, with this managerial change I believe that they will eventually get better, but this doesn't mean that it will be better right away, it may not end up being better this quickly.

I would say Iceland will probably get the win here, but then if they play a year later, I would have wagered that Bosnia would end up getting the win. The new manager change is something that takes time for players to get used to since it is not the club and training is rarer in the national teams.

The match between Italy vs England was a repeat of the previous final which was won by Italy on penalties. But for this match I don't see the possibility that Italy will win the match, they look very messy after not qualifying for the Qatar World Cup, betting on England's win is much more rational and currently many English players are in the best form.

It's helpful to mention that England haven't won against Italy on the Italian ground since 1961, which seems to be a very long period. In addition, the last 6 matches resulted in 4 Italian wins and 2 draws. Also, England will suffer the absence of the brightest English striker, Marcus Rashford. These points could give Italy some advantages in this match. On the other hand, Italy's last matches in Napoli, where the match will take place, doesn't look good, as they had 3 draws and a loss in the last 4 matches in Maradona Stadium. Anyway, we might watch a very interesting match, because it's the first match for both teams, and all possibilities would be acceptable, as there are more matches to compensate.

I never liked those statistical data because it proves nothing. Every game is a game for itself and records are meant to be broken. The fact that England last won against Italy on their ground 70 years ago means absolutely nothing for this game.

This match will be the main focus a big match that is not easy to predict and the market gives equal chances to both teams
England are slightly favored for playing the main squad but Italy is not to be underestimated they can do something unexpected
My prediction is that the two teams will play a draw maybe the final score is 1-1

generally agree, but since I like to bet against statistics, it does mean a little bit
of course that England players that will go out on the pitch tonight were not even born (even their parents were not born either) when England last time won over Italy, but they have some pressure over them over "it's coming home" statement prior to each big tournament and that was obviously tough for them on WC

regarding tonight, IMO, this match could go on either side, but I expect from England to take the ball rolling until first goal, after that it depend on who scored first

Italy 19:45 England
My predictions are in bold.

This is an interesting match. In placing bets also make some considerations because their quality is balanced. The line-ups have been confirmed for both teams and from the line-ups I will favor Italy.
Maguire and Philips are rarely played at their respective clubs but Gareth Southgate started them. Players like Maddison are even listed as reserves.

Now the match has started.

My predictions Italy vs England

Italy didn't play serious games internationally for quite long time unfortunately and I think they will try their best to prove themselves even though England is quite hard to beat.
Their group C isn't that bad since both teams are favourite comparing to Malta and North Macedonia. Ukraine might be challenging a bit but I assume it will not be a big problem for them.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Just tuned into Italy vs England, this should be a really good game. Only 5 minutes gone but I think Italy will win this 1-0 with a proper, Italian performance. Rock solid defence with clinical finishing. I love Barella & Verratti, exactly what Liverpool need.

It's indeed a hard to predict game, England is well known for their resilience and never giving up spirit, but like you said, Italy is also no child's play.
The possibly of the game ending in a draw is indeed high, but I am gonna give the win to Italy, it's a hard decision yes, but I think Italy would win the match, not like I am sure about it, and not like I have any tangible reason(s) why I choose Italy, I just feel that Italy would win..
Fingers crossed for the out come of this Match.

The game is currently dominated by England, while the score is 0-1 for England's victory. A goal scored by D.Rice in the 13th minute. England seems to be playing very enthusiastically so far. Shoot on target 3 for England while Italy has not had a shot on target so far. This game has been running for 22 minutes.

[Franctoshi]

Declan Rice has put England on the lead with a goal Coming in at the 13th minutes of the game, with what I can see from here so far, England is desperate to win this game and are mounting a lot of pressure on the Italian team, their effort in the game is yielding results, while the Italian side has been playing more on being the defending side. The England team looks more formidable in this game, and are ready to fight till the end. Italians should work on looking for a way to distablize the force and tactics the England team is using in order to gain control of the game.

My bet won in the first half England over 0.5 goal HT and in the second half I predicted England would score one more goal or overall 3 goals in total + Italy
I predict the same thing in the Portugal vs Liechtenstein match, Portugal controls the match nearly 80% whereas Liechtenstein couldn't do anything
In another match I also waited for North Macedonia to score the first goal it is just waiting for the right moment.

[KTChampions]

Wow, Italy 0 - 2 England after the first half and Italy have 0 shots on target. Is it really already in the first game that it will be decided who will take first place in the group and who will go to additional butt games? I would not like it, but now England dominates.

It's funny that in the game Portugal - Liechtenstein the score is only 1-0 in favor of Portugal and Ronaldo still hasn't scored a goal. The nuance is that the bookmakers rated this event as 1.11  But as a Portugal fan, I will hope that in the second half we will see a hail of goals.

It looks like Italy is still in crisis as the first half was really terrible. England scored two goals in the first half, which could be a very serious bid as I'm not sure Italy can score twice with such a game. And where is the famous Italian defense? Now it becomes clear why Italy was left without the World Cup, with such a game they would not have achieved anything significant there.

[buwaytress]

My predictions are in bold.

Half time and you're in the clear already for most of them. Could probably have been worth a pretty penny on HT accas even if it'd have lost, not sure why I didn't think of it actually! Oh wait, I'm sure, I don't trust this national team lineups

Italy's a disappointment personally. They took me far last Euro, not a single shot on target though...

England is just going wild on Italy, I never expected the goal difference to be two by the end of first half. But they are leading already and they have totally outplayed this Italian team, England no doubt have been very good in their recent games and if its one thing they know how to it would be scoring a lot goal and since they have started scoring like this, it would certainly be more goals coming in the second half.

England played great in the first half and scored 2 goals, but they could have scored the 3rd. Grealish couldn't score into the empty goal. Italy is in for a big disappointment at home. England has shown how strong they are. Defeating their biggest rival away is a harbinger that England will complete this group as the leader. The other three teams don't have much chance in this group anyway. You shouldn't expect too many surprises in this group as they get Euro 2024 tickets being the first 2 teams.

Italy started to play good in second half scored an early goal and had a player more then England and just wasnt able to draw the match at least against England. England will win the group easily for sure. Italy needs to do much better if they want to qualify for the euros

[Rruchi man]

England has shown how strong they are. Defeating their biggest rival away is a harbinger that England will complete this group as the leader.

England winning Italy the defending European at home is not something that England supporters are used to. When they were down to ten men, I felt England were going to loose their lead because in the last ten minutes of the game, Italy doubled up the pressure to even just get a draw, but Southgates changes ensure the game ended in England's favour. Reece James was a good add in the final minutes to secure their lead. Harry Kane's goal sets a new record of him overtaking Rooney as England's leading all time goal scorer and he is not done yet. Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham really linked up well in this game, they caused the Italian defense lost of trouble.

In Group J where Portugal is, they are off to a really good start, and it is good that Ronaldo scored twice. Portugal still need him for the few more years that he can give.
