THE KEY STATS

  • Italy and Norway drew 1-1 in the group stage at the 2013 finals in the only previous U21 final tournament match between the two nations.
  • Italy have lost only two of their last 20 U21 EURO qualifying and final tournament matches (W13 D5).
  • Italy have lost only two of their last nine U21 EURO final tournament group stage matches (W5 D2).
  • Italy have not failed to score in their last 14 U21 EURO qualifying and final tournament matches.
  • Victory for Italy would see them win two successive group matches in single edition of the U21 finals for the first time since 2013.
  • Norway have only won one of their last six U21 EURO final tournament matches (D2 L3).
  • Norway have lost their last three U21 EURO final tournament matches.

THE PREDICTION

Under the management of Paolo Nicolato, Italy come into this on the back of clinging onto three points against Switzerland the other day. The Italians had led by three goals to nil at half-time but were forced to cling on to a 3-2 victory. That followed up a controversial 2-1 loss to France in their opening match. They face a Norwegian side that have been unfortunate in being drawn in the ‘group of death, losing narrowly to both France and Switzerland and they are now already eliminated. Italy should win this one and get through to the quarter-finals.

BETTING TIP: ITALY TO WIN
