Turkey vs. Italy Tips & Quotas, 11.06.2021 – 21:00
The national teams of Turkey and Italy will open the European Football Championship 2021 at the Olympic Stadium of Rome on Friday evening, 11 June 2021 at 9 pm. Group A is completed by Wales and Switzerland. After the disappointing EURO 2016 in France and the preliminary round, the Günes Elf wants to do better this time. The Squadra Azzurra failed five years ago in the quarter-finals due to Germany and has also made more plans for the upcoming European Championship.

The Senol Günes team participated in a European Championship for the fifth time and achieved the best result in the final round in Austria and Switzerland in 2008 with the entry into the semi-finals. With 2-3, the guys from Bosphorus lost to Germany and missed the final. The last European Championships in France in 2016 were quickly completed with two preliminary defeats against Croatia (0-1) and Spain (0-3). In the last group game, Turkey managed a decent farewell with a 2-0 victory against the Czech Republic.
The qualifying games for THE EURO 2021 were ranked second behind France (25 points) with two counters less neat. Out of ten games, only Iceland’s guest appearance was lost (1-2). There was even a 2-0 home win against the world champion and a score win in Paris (0-0).
The strengths of the Turkish national team lie in the breadth, as you can offer one star player in each team section. Former Fribourg Caglar Söyüncü of Leicester City is the defender and leader. Ozan Kabak of Liverpool FC, who also kicked in Germany at Schalke 04, is a sideman in the central defence. With Hakan Calhanoglu (HSV & Leverkusen) from AC Milan, the game ideas come from the midfield and in the storm, 24-year-old Yusuf Yazici (Lille OSC) with a market value of 24 million euros is the most promising attacker. With a value of 227 million, the Turkish national squad is to be regarded as mediocre compared to Europe.

The Southern Europeans are present at an European Championship for the tenth time and thus have twice as much experience as the opponent of the prelude. Italy peaked in 1968 when it was possible to win a EURO for the first time and is still waiting for a repeat. In the years 2000 and 2012 Italy was in the final and 21 years ago became vice European champion against France and 2012 against Spain.
The qualifying games for the final round of the European Championships were a perfect march – 10 games and 30 points – that’s all you can do. With Finland (group), Greece, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Armenia and Liechtenstein, Roberto Mancini’s team also had feasible opponents. Squadra Azurra won the highest in the last qualifying game at home against Armenia (9:1).
With 37 goals in the European Championship qualification, the strengths of the four-time world champion are quickly found. Only Belgium scored more goals during the qualifying period (40). The offensive is the highlight of the Italians. Ciro Immobile (Lazio Rome) and sideman Andrea Belotti of FC Turin, who was the best clipper in qualifying with five goals, already have a market value of almost 100 million euros.
Federico Chiesa of Juventus Turin is also on the right and is one of the stars in the team. The greatest strength among the Italians was actually always the defensive. Meanwhile, however, this has turned. The defensive line is still strong, but the further forward it goes, the greater the quality.
Alessandro Bastoni (Inter Milan) keeps the store closed in front of star keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma (AC Milan). Marco Verratti (Paris Saint Germain) and Nicolo Barella (Inter Milan), who are also among the top Italian stars, are responsible for ideas and creativity from the midfield. The total squad value of the 1968 European Champion is currently 812 million euros.

Italy will be favourite against Turkey in the opening match of the 2021 European Championship. The Squadra Azzurra played a perfect European Championship qualification and won all the matches. During the qualifying, the Günes-Elf won twice against World Champion France and prevailed in a significantly heavier group than second with only one defeat. Nevertheless, the Southern Europeans are much better positioned, which is also very clear with a view to the squad value. If Italy does not underestimate the Elf from the Bosphorus there will be no surprises in Rome and the Mancini Elf will score the first three points in the group stage.
