The League of Nations continues in full force with the third round currently meeting Italy, the European champions from last summer, with their runners-up England. As you may recall, the Regional went out with their hands on the top in the final after a penalty shootout at Wembley, and now the Three Lions team is looking for revenge on the big frustration.
The English are in an unpredictable period to say the least, as they have not been able to win in the factory and under them only a point. In the first round they surprisingly lost 1: 0 away to Hungary, while in the previous game they finished 1: 1 with Germany.
On the other hand, the Italians do come after 1: 2 at home against the Hungarians, but they are also in an unpredictable period and as they remember they were unable to play in the World Cup to be held at the end of the year. The European champions also finished the first round 1-1 against Germany, and their four points place them at the head of the house, where they will also try to finish at the end of the 90 minutes.
The previous meeting between the two teams that preceded the Euro final ended in a 1-1 draw, with Lorenzo Insigne and Jamie Vardi scoring the goals. Will the team of the three lions achieve its revenge or will the European champions win again on English soil and maintain the summit?
