England take on the visitors Italy in the round 3 match in League A of Nations League. The match will be played on Saturday, June 11th at Molineux Stadium (Wolverhampton).
England is still focused, first of all, on performance in Qatar, at the next World Cup. The Three Lions are hungry for trophies. Yes, Gareth Southgate's wards were not bad in the Nations League, winning their group in the first draw of the tournament. But still the main thing is performances in the "traditional" competitions. It was possible to seriously make people talk about them in 2018, when the semi-finals of the World Cup were reached. This result was surpassed last summer, where only Italy in the final, and only in a penalty shootout, could stop the Englsihmen. In the League of Nations, they managed to play 2 matches in the summer. First, in Budapest, Hungary was allowed to win 1-0 - everything was decided by Soboslai's goal from the penalty spot. After 3 days there was a confrontation with the principal enemy, Germany, in Munich. They also did not win, but drew 1-1.

Italy seemed to have decided to “compensate” for success at the Euro with subsequent failures. Azzurri is the reigning European champion. Then it was perceived as a natural success, especially since the wards of Roberto Mancini had a good unbeaten streak. But after a triumphant summer, there was a disappointing autumn, with losing a dispute for 1st place in the qualifying group to Switzerland, and losing already in the first playoff match to modest North Macedonia, which put an end to the fight for access to the World Cup. Yes, and the summer began with a devastating 0-3 with Argentina in the “Finalissima”. In the League of Nations, the national team started at home with Germany and, having opened the score, limited themselves to a draw. Then they took Hungary, and at least here they finally managed to win, albeit with a minimal advantage, 1-0.
Before the penalty shoot-out in the Euro final, the score was 1-1. This is the third consecutive such result in the last matches between the teams. England doesn't look all that convincing, but the same can be said for Italy. We dare to bet on the victory of the hosts.
Prediction for the match: England to win.
