Passionate European foreign group C exit game as Italy take on Ukraine in their own stadium. At the moment, England are in sole possession of first place, and most predict that this match will determine who gets the other direct ticket to qualify. Under the guidance of Spalletti, Italy drew with Northern Macedonia in the last round, but the attacking end of the game has been significantly improved, and the home game is expected to be even better, so a one-goal handicap is worth a try. (Wednesday, 2:45 a.m. kickoff)
Italy has won 1, drawn 1 and lost 1 of their 3 matches, 3 points behind Ukraine but with one less match to play, they still hold the initiative to qualify. After the resignation of Vincenzo, Spaletti took over the team and tried to innovate. Although he was forced to draw in North Macedonia, he insisted on the 4-3-3 formation that was successful during the Napoli period, and it has begun to bear fruit in a short period of time, with the possession rate as high as nearly 70% in the away matches, and the goals conceded were only penalties.
Italy this time in St. West Road home to meet, the players confidence is greatly increased, the golden boot Nembini continued to be efficient, Weifet Gan Lotus, Lediki and other replacement strikers are also ready to go, the thickness of the Blue Army squad is far more than the Ukraine, even if four days of consecutive games, there is more room for tactical adjustments. Italy's motivation is high, and it is expected to get a wonderful victory in the battle for the line.
Ukraine's last away match with England was a 1-1 draw, but their offensive firepower is not strong, only one shot on target against England in the last round, considered the core of the attack of the wing Medici's recent form of low, difficult to pose a threat to the Italian goal, this time the away game, may be more in the state of being passive beaten.
