Italy vs Albania Prediction: 15/6/2024

After narrowly defeating Bosnia and Herzegovina in their final warm-up match, Italy is keen to begin their EURO 2024 journey with a strong performance against Albania at Signal Iduna Park. The Azzurri enter the game as favorites, but they need to prove their dominance on the pitch. Unfortunately, Sandro Tonali will be absent due to suspension, and Atalanta’s Giorgio Scalvini is sidelined with an injury. Gianluca Scamacca is expected to spearhead the attack for the nominal hosts.

On the other hand, Sylvinho’s team is likely to focus on a defensive strategy against Italy. However, containing players like Federico Chiesa at Signal Iduna Park will be challenging. Fulham’s striker Armando Broja is the key player to watch for the visitors. Notably, this is the first time these two teams will meet in a major tournament.

Prediction: 1-0
