Our prediction for the match Italy vs Germany
The teams showed themselves differently at the previous Euro. Spalletti’s footballers, after a strong-willed victory over Albania, deservedly, albeit minimally, lost to Spain and were losing to Croatia. Still, they, having tied the game in the 98th minute, reached the playoffs. However, they immediately lost with a 0-2 score to Switzerland. The Germans are a different matter, whom the new coach, Nagelsmann, managed to prepare perfectly in a short time. The team left an excellent impression, having overcome the group early and beating Denmark with a 2-0 result in the play-offs. The team also fought Spain, becoming the only one who did not lose to the future champion in regular time. Still, Merino scored the fatal goal in the 119th minute of the confrontation.
A number of veterans, from Kroos to Neuer, left the team after that tournament. Nevertheless, the autumn was successful – it failed to win only in the away battles with the national teams of the Netherlands and Hungary. Having won the remaining matches, including a 7-0 rout of Bosnia, Germany confidently won the group. Spalletti retained his position, and at first everything went well for him in the Nations League. The team started with an away win over France, after which it got the maximum points against Israel and 4 out of 6 possible points in the confrontation with Belgium. All that was left was not to lose in the last round, which was held on the native field. Still, a 1-3 result in the meeting with the French sent the team to 2nd place.
On average, Retegui and the company Donnarumma score 1.6 goals, but Donnarumma concedes a lot – 1.3. The guests from Germany have got a ratio of a real grandee – 2.4/0.7.
