The Italians had to prove their skills against Switzerland on the last European Championship match day. In front of the backdrop, the Azzurri were defensively very compact and barely allowed anything. The Italians were waiting for fast changeover moments and came through real estate to the first good chance. But the hosts grew stronger from minute to minute. The first goal of the Mancini Elf didn’t count due to a handball. The Squadra Azzurra continued and rewarded itself with the tour after 26 minutes through Locatelli. The Confederates had to come now, but were very hard on the Italians. After the change of sides, the Italians began to wait and see. Nevertheless, only seven minutes had elapsed when Locatelli was able to raise to 2-0. The changes of Petkovic blew up. Zuber and Widmer brought no new momentum. In the final phase there were chances on both sides. Immobile, however, put the crowning finishing line in the 89th minute with a 3-0 final.
In addition to winning against Switzerland on the last match day, Italy also scored a clear 3-0 victory against the Turks on the first day of the match. With six points taken, Italy alone occupies the place in the sun in Group A. The lead over the second place in the table from Wales amounts to two points. A draw would be enough to win the group. The offensive looks at six goals scored and the defense has not yet conceded a single goal. Manuel Locatelli and Ciro Immobile are the best attackers in their own ranks with two goals each.
Insofar as Italy would secure the group victory, it is necessary to compete against the second of group C in the quarter-finals. This could be Austria, Holland, Ukraine or Northern Macedonia.

The Welsh had to face Turkey on the last day of the match. In the first group match, both teams acted very defensively. However, the second group match brought out a completely different playground. Both competitors played openly forward and came up with good opportunities to shoot. The Welsh quickly gained field advantages and radiated more danger of scoring. After some chances were lost, Aaron Ramsey struck freezing shortly before the break and scored 1-0 for the dragons. Günes took Demiral and Yazici to the break. However, both should not have a strange effect. The better team was still Wales. In the 61st minute of the game Bale was fouled in the penalty area, but put the penalty over the goal. The decision was then made in the replay time. First Demiral gave him the best chance of scoring 1-1, and then Roberts scored 2-0 after Bale’s preliminary work.
The first match day led to a 1-1 draw against Switzerland. After two group games, coach Robert Page’s team remains unbeaten. Four points won are enough for the second place in the table at this time. The gap to the leader from Italy measures two meters. The lead over the chaser from Switzerland measures three points. Even a draw would be enough to secure second place. Playing against the Italians for draws is bold though. The offensive scored three goals and the defense was only conceded on the other side. Ramsey, Roberts and Moore are the best attackers in their own ranks with one goal each.
If Wales is to become second in Group A, the second in Group B must be challenged in the quarter-finals. In the quarter-finals it could be against Belgium, Russia, Finland or Denmark.

Wales: 2 wins – 2 draws – 1 defeat

A look at the odds for the match shows the Italians as clear favourites. Nevertheless, Wales should by no means be underestimated. The Welsh, for their part, also played well and are among the great surprises of this EURO. A draw is enough for both teams to reach the quarter-finals. As part of our betting tip forecast, a defensive game is to be expected. In this there will be few goals on both sides. For this reason, it is advisable to bet on the market „less than 2.5 goals“.
