Belgium U21 meets Italy U21 in round 3 of Euro 21. The match will be played on Saturday, June 22nd at Città del Tricolore (Reggio Emilia)
The Belgian national team failed the championship after losing both matches in the group. And even in the event of a victory, it will not be able to continue the struggle in the championship, since it will not have the needed fixtures among the teams that have taken third places in their groups. So, the Belgians can pack their bags.

But Italy must necessarily win in order to take second place, which gives direct promotion to the playoffs, and not to depend on other supporting factors. The Italians won their match against a strong Spanish team and rather unexpectedly lost to the Polish team. Now they urgently need to correct the situation.
The home field and the complete lack of motivation of the visitors will surely do its job in the upcoming game that the championship hosts will most likely win. Moreover, the squad of the Italians is quite powerful. Goalkeeper Meret kept the goal in 13 matches of Napoli in the last championship. Bastoni played 24 games for Parma. Mandragora played 35 matches for Udinese. Barela played the same amount for Cagliari, and Orsalini - for Bologna. Well, the leaders of the team, Pelligrini, Cutrone, Chiesa played almost the entire season for Roma, Milan, and Fiorentina, respectively. In general, whatever aspect of the upcoming game you take, all of them are in favor of Italy. The team will win the upcoming game. The rivals met a little more than half a year ago. Then Belgium won 1-0. But the match was a friendly one, and the Italians didn’t have either goalkeeper Meret, or Barela, or Pelligrini, or Cutrone, or Chiesa in the starting lineup. And now they will be, and the result will surely be different too.
Prediction for the match: Italy U21 to win
