Italy vs. Northern Ireland Tips & Quotas, 25.03.2021 – 20:45 – World Cup Qualification Europe
The Italians start on the first match day of the World Cup qualifying against Northern Ireland. Since the Squadra Azzurra acts in front of the home scenery, the roles are more than clearly distributed before the kick-off. Insofar as the odds are believed, the home team is an absolute favourite for a threesome. The meeting will take place on Thursday, March 25th at 20:45 at the Ennio Tardini Stadium in Parma. Whether the hosts start the qualifying with a threesome must be clarified in the following betting tip forecast.
(Status of odds: 23.03.2021, 10:52 o’clock)
The Italians have recently played heavily and are watching a series of 22 international matches without defeat. The last bankruptcy dates back to September 2018 and was then accepted by the Nations League after a 0-1 draw against Portugal. This was followed by a total of 17 wins and five draws. In any case, a more than impressive balance sheet. This must now also be continued against Northern Ireland in the course of the World Cup qualification.
Insofar as the odds of betting providers can be believed, this will also work. The Italians are clearly favourites in Group C of the World Cup qualification and play for the group victory in any case. A victory against the Northern Ireland would be a first step in the right direction.
The last, played competition of the Italians was the Nations League. There the eleven of coach Roberto Mancini secured the place in the sun. A record of three wins and three draws should suffice. In the end, however, it was a very close matter. Only the last two successes against Poland (2:0) and Bosnia & Herzegovina (2:0) allowed Italy to claim its place in the sun. The lead over the second place in the table from Holland was only a lean counter. After the match with Northern Ireland, the Italians compete in Bulgaria.
In the last World Cup qualification, the Italians were only able to finish in second place. So it was time to compete in the playoffs against Sweden. Not an easy undertaking as it should turn out. After a 0:1 and a 0:0, the Italians were unable to make the leap to the final round.

The Northern Ireland reflects the exact opposite of Italy. Looking back at the last encounters, after the won EM Play-Off match against Bosnia and Herzegovina and the associated qualification for the Euro 2021, there is a clear downward trend. Only a lean counter results from the past five international matches. After all, this was last scored after a 1-1 against Romania. Previously, a whopping four bankruptcies in a row resulted. In order to be able to make a difference in the World Cup qualifying, the team will have to increase significantly.
In the Nations League, Northern Ireland was undoubtedly one of the great disappointments. After six competitive matches, there was not a single victory. With a record of two draws and four defeats, the team ended up in the last place in the table. The offensive scored only four goals in the six group games. Furthermore, eleven goals had to be conceded.
Looking at the quotas in Group C, Northern Ireland appears to be a clear outsider to one of the first two places. Competition seems to be significantly too strong with Italy and Switzerland.
In the last World Cup qualification, the Northern Ireland played well and secured second place in Group C behind Germany. The playoffs ended with Switzerland. After losing 0-1 in front of the home backdrop, a goalless second leg should not be enough.
Latest matches from Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland: 0 wins – 1 draw – 4 defeats
3 wins Italy – 1 draw – 0 wins Northern Ireland
The Italians are a clear favourite in this approach. The last encounters clearly show that the Squadra Azzurra is in a better shape. Northern Ireland has been struggling recently and will not have an easy position in Italy. The direct comparison underpins this line of thought. The last three long distance matches against Italy were all lost (0:3, 0:3, 0:2). Generally speaking, the Northern Ireland has failed to score in the last four direct matches against the Azzurri. In the course of our betting tip prognosis, a clear victory of the hosts is to be expected.
