These two have had quite a few clashes since Italy took the honors in the Euros finals, and all the meetings have been tight affairs. The first rematch in June last year ended with a goalless draw, and the sides have split the two most recent games, with Italy triumphing 1-0 in a Nations League match a year ago and England getting a 2-1 win in March at the start of the current qualifying stage.
Both teams have been in good form lately and should fancy their chances Tuesday night. England started a seven-game unbeaten run in Naples seven months ago, winning six of the outings, and Italy hasn’t lost any of its last four games, coming out victorious three times.
England looked fairly sluggish in their 1-0 win over Australia last Friday, but Gareth Southgate played his fringe players in the contest, and all the available big guns are expected to return to the lineup for Tuesday’s crucial match. Bukayo Saka, who is nursing a hamstring problem, is the only key player currently missing from Southgate’s selection.
Italy travels to Wembley following a 4-0 thumping of Malta. Luciano Spaletti picked up his second win in three matches as Azzurri manager, with Domenico Berardi running the show. The Sassuolo man has been in immense form to start the season, registering seven goals in seven games for club and country, and England will need to keep a very close eye on him to secure three points on Tuesday.
There have been a lot of recent head-to-head clashes between England and Italy, and there’s a lot of history in the match-up as well. Tuesday’s game will mark the 32nd encounter for the teams. Similarly to the most recent meetings, the historical results have also been very even in this fixture, with Italy winning 11 times and England notching nine victories. England hasn’t beaten Italy in back-to-back games since the 1940s, meaning a victory on Tuesday would be a pretty special achievement for the current group of players.
