Athletistic will broadcast live text online: Soccer. Euros 2024. Qualification. England – Italy. Direct
A few days ago, several national teams secured their place at Euro 2024. This is what Spain, Scotland, Turkey, Portugal, Belgium and Austria have already done. And today, England can join them.
The English are top of Group C, having won 4 matches against Italy in the first match, Ukraine, Malta and North Macedonia. In the last match, points were lost for the first time – 1:1 against Ukraine. But this result did not shake the position of the British in any way, since Italy had already lost points in the match against North Macedonia. And therefore, even if England loses 0:1 today, they will not lose first place in personal meetings with Italy, since they previously won 2:1 against the Italians.
For Italy this match is very important, “Skudra Azzurra” did not qualify for the last World Cup in Qatar, and it was not at the World Cup in Russia either. It would be a disaster to miss the euro in Germany. If today they fail to beat England or at least draw, the Italian team will still have 10 points and Ukraine now has the same number. Next, Italy will play against North Macedonia, which deprived them of their ticket to the 2022 World Cup, and Ukraine will play against Malta. And then everything will be decided during a face-to-face in the last round. Italy only won 2:1 at home, but given that the team is no longer so brilliant, victory in the second leg is not guaranteed.
