Italy finished atop Group A with three victories. They played very well in the group stage and were never on the back foot. They cruised to victory against Turkey and Switzerland in their first two, with 3:0 in both matches. Wales were the only team that gave them some trouble scoring, but the Azzurri got the job done with a 1:0 result.
Austria got the job done too and finished second in Group C, just below the Netherlands. They defeated Ukraine and North Macedonia but lost to the Netherlands by 2:0. Of course, nobody expected them to challenge the Netherlands in the group stage, but they took care of business in their other matches and earned a spot in the next stage.
Italy share second place with Portugal and Belgium for most goals scored in the tournament with seven apiece. But, Italy also kept clean sheets in all three matches and continued their record to 11 clean sheet matches in a row in all competitions.
This is not the best match-up for Austria, and they wanted to avoid facing teams like Italy until the later rounds. Italy like to dominate the ball, and they will use their accurate passing to prevent Austria from ever making a threat at goal. They will bide their time and slowly pick apart Austria’s defenses, waiting for a perfect opportunity. Relying on the counter isn’t something Austria can hope for, with Italy being a much faster team.

We already saw in this tournament how Austria fare against opponents who play like Italy. They faced the Netherlands in the group stage and were unable to defend properly. They conceded twice, and Italy’s offense has performed very well in this tournament. In fact, against a tough Wales defense, Italy attempted 23 shots. Granted, only six were on target, but credit Wales on that one. Italy scored three goals in matches against Switzerland and Turkey, and we will likely see them doing it again.
Italy scored seven goals in the tournament so far, five of which were scored in the second half, for a percentage of 71%. Immobile has performed very well for Italy in their first two matches, scoring in both. Both of his goals came in the second half. He earned a breather and watched the match against Wales from the bench. The bookmakers have him scoring last at 4.50 odds, and given his performances, it is very likely to happen.
Again, Italy’s defense has been impeccable in the tournament, and they will look to continue their incredible streak. In the Nations League and Euro 2021 qualifiers, Italy conceded 0.35 goals per match. As far as offense goes, I expect Austria to put up somewhat of a fight in the first half, while they are still fresh. But, in the second, Italy will pick apart Austria’s defense and take advantage of any mistakes. The floodgates will open in the second half, and this is where we will see the most goals.
