Italy vow to crush rivals Belgium in Friday clash as Belgian aces Hazard and Bruyne ruled out

Belgium locks horns with Italy, in what is hailed as Knock-out Clash of the Favourites at 2200hrs, local time.

It’s a typical chess moment for the team managers – what with the constant shuffling of the line up to make up for injuries, uncertain players, et al.

Both team come into the quarter-final duel reeling with injuries from the Group stages.

Belgium knocked out defending champions Portugal from the round of 16 but they paid heavily – aces Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard – both picked up injuries on that match, last Sunday.

They’ve missed pre-match training sessions, and Dries Mertens and Yannick Carrasco are the obvious replacements.

Belgium prefers the 3-4-2-1 formation, and while not at a premium fitness level, defender Thomas Vermaelen is likely to keep his place in Belgium’s back three.

Italian boss Roberto Mancini has similar cookies on his plate.

Giorgio Chiellini didn’t feature against Austria on Saturday, and he’s likely to face Belgium.

Alessandro Florenzi is also not a sure case.

Italy fields the 4-3-3 formation, and Federico Chiesa has a chance to replace Domenico Berardi in the firing front three.

Roberto has to throw dice in the midfield with both Matteo Pessina and Manuel Locatelli itching to get off the bench. Nicolo Barella’s position may be up for grabs.

The Azzuri seeks passage to the Euro 2020 Knock-Out Stages as they face Switzerland in a difficult match

This Wednesday, either of two things can happen on the EURO 2020 game pitting Italy against their rivals, Switzerland at Stadio Olimpico.

Its either Italy pulls a win that cements their perch on top of Group A ranking – or the greatest upset is conjured up by the Swiss team.

The Azzuri will be apt to push it as a win against Switzerland effectively gifts them a passage to the knock out stages.

Switzerland suffered an hitch in their opener game against Wales that ended in a draw.

That draw ended a 6-game winning streak, and has the team with just a point. Its a game they really need to win.

Coach Roberto Mancini leans towards a 4-3-3 formation for Italy, but has to contend with some injuries to effect changes to the opener game team.

Alessandro Florenzi is unlikely to recover in time to face Switzerland. Napoli’s Giovani Di Lorenzo is expected to deputise at right-back.

For the Swiss, Coach Vladimir Petkovic trust lies with Breel Embolo who got the nudge up front against Wales – a wise decision as he not only scored but also picked up the WhoScored Man of the Match Award.

Breel is expected to find the right chemistry with fellow striker Seferovic, in their yet-to-be-tested right, 3-4-1-2 match formation.

Gamers on Betika.com have a variety of odds to consider for their stake in the game.

A win for Italy attracts odds at 1.68, and a win for Switzerland odds are at 5.80.

It’s not an easy game at first glance, and pundits largely agree to a goal less draw, whose odds are at 3.90.

As Turkey clashes with Italy in the Euro 2020 opening match, who’s got the better guns?

Friday Night marks the end of a long wait for the Euro 2020 tournament.

The opener match features teams from Group A – Turkey and Italy. Though the Italians are the clear group favourites, it’s certainly not a walk in the park.

Turkey, Wales and Switzerland are seeking to disrupt the status quo to claim the top position.

In every tournament, the opener game is always a difficult affair, and with both Italy and Turkey flouting an excellent form, it’s not far fetched to expect a draw.

A barren draw is feasible, especially in the first half – or, it’s also possible for both teams to score.

The Turkish and Italian teams have both scored in each of their last four encounters.

For Turkey, they have found the back of the net in 3 of their last 6 international matches. Italy has an impressive record of scoring goals in their last 9 outings.

All these point to a very tight encounter in the Friday clash.

Turkey and Italy’s last 2 meetings have both ended in draws. It’s forgivable to assume the two teams will cancel each other out.

Turkey comes into the Euro, with their favourite 4-5-1 lineup. It’s a very optimistic set up with players like Burak Yilmaz and Zeki Celik fresh off league-winning campaigns with Lille and plenty of ingenious talent and speed in the Serie A duo of Hakan Calhanoglu and Merih Demiral.

Italy seeks to counter that under their talismanic manager Roberto Mancini, who shows preference for a fuller midfield and striker setup as a single unit with the 4-3-3 lineup.

Upfront, Italy presents the lethal striking trio of Insigne, Immobile and Berardi whose chemistry will be put to the test.

For the Euro 2020 opening clash Turkey Vs. Italy, gaming firm Betika presents gamers with exciting odds.

The winning odds for Turkey runs at 8.00, a draw attracts 3.92 and an Italy winning odds are at 1.53.
