Italy vs Albania 15.06.2024 Prediction: EURO

Match Overview

Italy take on Albania in their opening encounter of the upcoming European Championships at the BVB Stadion in Dortmund on Saturday, June 15. Italy are the defending champions of the Euros and will start as the favourites of this game. Albania have a few talented players here and there but the Italians play well as a unit.

Key Highlights

One must remember that this youngish-looking Italian side haven't lost in their last 6 matches and seem to be in a rich vein of form. Italy have won the previous 4 matches against Albania, and this will give them a lot of confidence ahead of this game. Although they are not technically playing at home, it is a good reminder that they are unbeaten in 7 home games.

Injury Report

Goalkeeper Alex Meret is a doubtful starter for Italy with a muscle injury whereas Albania do not have any injured players.

Prediction

Italy, as mentioned earlier, are the favourites to win this game and we expect them to beat Albania comfortably. The latter do not have a lot of players who can match up to the standards of the Italians, and this will worry them immensely. However, they should try to keep the Italians from scoring goals at will in this game.
