Italy – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Azzurrini” are the current European champions. They are generally able to maintain their brand after last year’s success, although the team can’t do without misfires. Speaking about the last autumn, there happened a defeat made by Switzerland and a draw in the struggle with Sweden, which, however, did not prevent the team from going further – “the Scandinavians” managed to misfire in the confrontation with Liechtenstein.
It is reasonable to mention that Corradi’s wards played their best football at the key moment, in March – 3 victories, over Scotland, the national team of the Czech Republic and Georgia, left no chance for anyone to compete for the championship in the quartet.
Norway – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Lions” very confidently overcame the first, October round of qualification. Then they, having warmed up in the game against Gibraltar, to which they scored 10 unanswered goals, defeated both the Latvians and the Hungarians, and conceded only against the latter ones.
After that, the team, as if having relaxed, lost 4 times in a row, but only in control matches, to Germany in November and to Spain in February. Still, the only opponent the Norwegians did not win in the 2nd, decisive round of qualification, was Bosnia. One way or another, a 2-2 draw in this confrontation and the victories over Montenegro and Spain ensured the final championship in the group.
