Italy v Greece Team News

Italy are simply remarkable. The Azzuri are on a roll having not tasted defeat in their previous 10 matches. Unbeaten in this group, they are heavy favourites in this clash and will be looking to reinforce their top spot in this group. Under Roberto Mancini, himself a proven winner, they are playing a brand of very attractive football scoring goals with reckless abandon. With a tally of 18 goals while conceding only three, Italy are daunting opponents to any side.

Their magnificent defence is a reflection of a side in top form with Juventus duo Chiellini and Bonucci manning the defence. The middle and front are dazzled with talent too with star names like Insigne and Ciro Immobile who can win matches with only one opportunity.

Visiting side Greece are wary of the host’s potency. The visitors are having a dreary campaign sitting a place above bottom. A 1-1 draw with the bottom-placed Lichtenstein side shows a side in poor form. They are yet to win in the group and chances of qualification are all but gone.

Coach Helgi Kolviddson’s side will have to regroup and put in work to avoid an embarrassment in Rome. Confidence is lacking in the group and the nervous Greeks are not likely to come out with a result. The side is also seemingly lost in front of goal and have only managed to score 7 goals in 6 matches. They have conceded more goals than they have managed to score against opponents in the group.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Italy: Alessandro Florenzi, Stefano Sensi.

Greece: Giorgos Masouras.

Italy vs Greece Predictions

History will be rewritten in Stadio Olimpico as Italy have never lost to Greece. In addition, the hosts have had an almost perfect home record and an uninspired Greece side are not likely to end it. The away side is really struggling and their poor defence could let in several goals from the formidable Italians.
