England - Germany

In this group, Albania is a very clear and distinct outsider, so I think other teams together with Italy have the goal not only to win but also to dominate opponents, as every point and even goal is important in this group. The Italians have a strong team and although they didn't seem convincing in friendlies, it's hard to believe they won't be able to win.

In this group, Albania is a clear and distinct outsider, so I believe that the other teams, together with Italy, have a goal not only to win, but also to defeat the opponents because every point and even goal is important in this group. The Italians have a good team and although they didn't look convincing in friendly matches, it is hard to believe that they will not be able to win.

Personally, even though it is said that Italy in 2024 is not the same as it was in 2021 and also that Albania is in much better shape, it is still inclined towards such a setup. Simply put, Italy is still a strong country, which still has good players and, mostly, has really good and experienced trainers, and compared to Albania, Sylvinho, who is not even Albanian, has significantly less experience as a trainer. The players of Italy are, as always, of a clear level of quality, while in Albania... very few play in the top leagues, and if they do, they don't excel there.

Italians have greatly weakened, especially in the offensive, lacking talent. However, their defense is truly good and one of the best in the championship, if not the best. Albania will have to play cautiously and not allow Spaletti's pupils to score easy goals, so I don't think there will be many goals in this match. Italians have even struggled to score against weaker national teams in friendly matches.

The Italians were not convincing in friendly matches and disappointed, while the Albanian national team surprised and showed in my eyes that they cannot be underestimated. In the qualifiers, they only lost once to the Poles, and they won against them and the Czechs at home. They are a serious team, and even the Italians would struggle against them. Germany will definitely have strong support from the Albanians, a country with a strong mentality and somewhat reminiscent of Balkan representatives. Italy clearly lacks a strong forward, and the same can be said for Chiesa this season.

The previous European champions, the Italians, must start without complications, as they will still face the Spanish and Croatian national teams in their group. So far, they have had no difficulties in matches against Albania. They should also have no problems against Peru today. We are waiting.

In the upcoming Euro champions Italy will not be able to repeat their success, I believe everyone understands that. Their first match will be against Albania, a team known for their defensive play. Italy will have the initiative and I have no doubt that they will dominate their opponents. I am expecting a tense game until the first goal, which is unclear who would score. The handicap of +1.5 for Albania seems very reliable and should be taken into consideration. My prediction is either a 1-0, 0-1, or 0-0 score, making the under bet very reliable. As I mentioned before, the +1.5 handicap for Albania is almost a sure bet. Have a good evening and good luck to those who are betting on this event.

Even though corner kicks can be challenging in tournaments, these matches are expected to be the most defensive of all. Italian football in general is often dependent on set pieces, and they have quite a few players who are capable of scoring from them, thus earning corner kicks. In the friendly matches period, there were a lot of corner kicks. Albania has been looking good in attack lately, often winning around 4 corners per game, which is more than enough from them.

Albania is formally considered an outsider in this group. With its composition, Italy is clearly the favorite for the game. Surprises are always possible, but realistically, the Italians are stronger and I don't think they will have any problems with the Albanians today. Especially since Italy is a tournament team and they usually make it out of the group stage. So I'm going with Italy for sure.
