Italy vs Greece Prediction & Betting tips
Italy vs. Greece – a pair that would have promised some excitement a few years back, but the European football’s 2004 European championship dulling continues in the current qualifiers for the next edition of the continental finals.
The Hellenes could win only one of their six group matches. The chance of participating in the European Championship 2020 has long been lost. A harmless storm coupled with a vulnerable defense are a mélange that has led to the previously weak performances of the Greek team. The hosts have instead been naked.
All group games were won, although at times a bit more fortunate than in the away win in Armenia in the previous round. Nevertheless, the Gli Azzurri can be completely satisfied with the previous qualification. With a victory against the Greeks, the participation in the European Championship 2020 would not take them even in mathematical terms.
In the upcoming match between Italy and Greece, the odds are unsurprisingly the home side’s favorites role in a very clear form. This judgment is followed by the prognosis without reservation.
Furthermore, given the low betting odds for the Italians’ next victory, they will be extended to predict a triumph with at least two goals difference and at least one goal by formidable striker Ciro Immobile.
The latter striker will be particularly motivated in the match at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, as the encounter is known to take place in his “Lazio Living Room”. The mood will also boost the fact that after a break of almost four years for the first time again an international match in the Olympic Stadium takes place. The Italy against Greece forecast is played with three units.
Italy :
La Nazionale made the deciding step in the last group match in Finland for a successful qualification. Thanks to the 2-1 away win in Ratina Stadium in Tampere, the worst pursuer in the fight for the group victory was beaten.
With six points ahead in the table and the advantage in direct comparison of two successes nothing stands in the way of winning the group. One goal in Finland was Ciro Immobile. The striker from Lazio Rome had to stifle in the previous match in Armenia still on the bench.
This move will probably not be considered by coach Roberto Mancini this time. Immobile has been in top form for weeks. Among other things, read on his yield for the Romans in the Serie A: Here Immobile comes to seven hits in as many missions.
With this balance, the offensive player is currently leading the scoring in the Italian House of Lords. On top of that, the 29-year-old contributed a decisive goal to Lazio’s 2-1 victory in the Europa League against Stade Rennes a week ago. However, captain Giergio Chiellini is still unable to play.
The Juventus defender is injured due to an injury. Another accurate striker is ready with Andrea Belotti. The attacker of Torino FC is like Immobile in these weeks once again very efficient way. In three of the last five league games scored the 25-year-old.
The fact that he also likes to meet in the jersey of the national team, was observed in the penultimate match in Armenia. In the 3-1 success Belotti advanced with a double the Matchwinner. In the duel between Italy and Greece are the odds for his next goal celebration in the Olympic Stadium in Rome thus on top a good idea.
Greece :
The last group game of the Greeks may be regarded as the low point of a progressive athletic descent. With 1: 1 separated the team of the Dutch coach John van, t Schip of Liechtenstein.
The opponent succeeded after about four years, the first points success in a qualifier for a European or World Cup, with no fewer than 19 internationals were lost in this period.
Although Greece dominated the game, but, as so often in the past, the attack department failed row after row in the final. For the coach from Holland it was only the second match in this function. There was nothing to celebrate on his debut three days earlier, as the Greeks had beaten 0-1 in Finland.
John van, t Schip has to wait for his first victory with the Greek national team, which has meanwhile slipped to 54th place in the world rankings. On the offensive, the hopes are again mainly on the shoulders of Efthymios Koulouris.
The reigning top scorer in the country has not kicked since summer at Atromitos Athens, but in Ligue 1 at Toulouse. There Koulouris could mark one hit on each of the last two matchdays. With four goals already after nine league appearances, the 23-year-old has fulfilled the hopes placed in him by the southern French so far.
However, in the domestic national team, his performances are much weaker as with the large number of his teammates. So Koulouris has still no hit in the jersey of Galanolefki marked, although he already comes to eleven missions.
