Italy take on Argentina in the Finalissima – match between winners of Euro 2020 and Copa America 2021. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 1st at Wembley Stadium (London).
Italy get a chance to at least somehow rehabilitate itself in front of the fans, figuratively speaking, throw them a certain “bone” in the form of the status of the winner of the analogue of the World Super Cup, but only between national teams. Squadra Azzurra misses the World Cup, moreover, again it failed in the playoffs. And if last time there was at least a strong, organized Sweden, then in March the star Italians at home managed to lose 0-1 at home to a frank underdog, North Macedonia. There were unsuccessful games in the fall, when it was not possible to defeat Switzerland in both meetings, and the leader, Jorginho, missed the penalty twice. This doomed to participate in the play-offs of the spring, which turned out to be a fatal failure. However, the triumphant Euro allowed Mancini to keep his position. So far, in Italy, they believe that he will be able to restart the project. And the duel against the South American grand can be just a “restart”.

Argentina won Copa America last summer and it was the first trophy of this generation, including for Messi, who won everything possible with the club, but experienced many disappointments with Albicelestes, including in lost finals. Lionel was then a real leader, and it was not in vain that he eventually received another undeserved Ballon d'Or. How will this affect the national team, and will the captain be able to get together and play at the World Championship, obviously the last one for himself? However, it is impossible now to reduce all the trump cards of the Argentines to Leo alone. During qualifying, Lautaro Martinez showed himself great, Di Maria and Otamendi obviously did not say the last word, De Paul, Lo Celso, Nico Gonzalez are good, and the list goes on.
Italy was left without Castrovilli, Berardi and Pinamonti, but we also note the decision not to invite Immobile to score. Marchesin is injured in Argentina, and “Kun” Aguero is completely tied up due to heart problems. Argentina were able to win all 3 recent friendly matches, including 2-0 in the spring of 2018. Bookmakers give a slight advantage to Argentina. But the result is hardly that important for the teams, this is only the first draw of the Finalissima. So you can have a rather interesting match with "total over 2.0 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
