Italy take on the visitors Germany in the round 1 match of League A in UEFA Nations League. The match will be played on Saturday, June 4th at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara (Bologna).
Italy national team for the last calendar year left extremely controversial impression. First, there was a triumphant peak, when in the summer of 2021 they managed to win the Euro. However, even then it was already clear that there were, if not problems, then concerns. Switzerland was squeezed in extra time, and in the semi-final and final, Donnarumma became the hero, who won the penalty shootout. Nevertheless, the trophy was taken, which plunged the country into ecstasy. The hangover came in the fall: the defeat in the "home" "final of 4" of the League of Nations, and, most importantly, unstable performances in qualifying. The result was a defeat in the dispute for 1st place in the Swiss group. And, in the form of an apotheosis of failure - the defeat in the playoffs in March in the first game, home, with North Macedonia. "Finalissima" with Argentina could give a new impetus, but turned into a new defeat, a thrashing one.

Germany played for a very long time under the leadership of Lev. "Yoggy" certainly brought a lot of success, with the crown in the form of victory at the 2014 World Cup. But it was not possible to repeat something similar, moreover, the Bundestim was often frankly disappointing. Last summer, with great efforts, his wards left the group (beat 4-2 Portugal, and then pulled out a draw with Hungary with difficulty). And only in order to get 2 unanswered goals from England in the 1/8 finals. The era of "Hansi" Flick began in autumn. So far, with him, the Germans looked extremely convincing. Last autumn they won all 7 qualifying matches. In March, there was a victory over Israel and a draw with the Netherlands, but these were only friendly matches.
In 2016, in the quarter-finals of the Euro, Germany won on penalties after 1-1. After that, there was only a goalless draw in a test match in November of that year. Bookmakers consider the chances of teams equal. It is worth picking the bet "over 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
