THE PREDICTION
A remarkable evening ahead of this friendly in which Italy announced their 26-man squad in an hour-long prime-time TV show, in which some players provided backing vocals for some music, emphasised what appears to be a ‘new Italy’ - in spirit and personnel. The boring cliches of catenaccio and ‘dark arts’ have been cast aside, if they were ever fair, as Gianluca Vialli takes over Gigi Riva’s former role of ‘hanging around the camp’ as almost a liaison officer for the boss and his mate Roberto Mancini. Mancini’s more vibrant style of play has evolved throughout his reign and that was shown with a dismissive 7-0 victory of San Marino last week. This is a harder test against an ever-improving Czech Republic that have posed difficulties against Belgium and England in qualifiers in recent years but did fall to a 1-0 loss against Wales in their most recent match. This is the type of warm-up fixture which inevitably finished a goal apiece but a sensible bet for this would be under 3.5 goals.
