THE PREDICTION
We are in Phoenix, Arizona for this friendly between Venezuela and Italy as the two sides meet at Chase Field. This fairly bizarrely timed sojourn over to the United States for the European champions Italy follows yet another controversial week at the start of an international break in which Francesco Acerbi was sent home due to allegations of racism. It has been a difficult start to life off the field for Luciano Spalletti but the Azzurri are looking to cultivate a spirit and system that could defend the European title this summer in Germany. They face a Venezuelan side that have been majorly improved in the last few months with a draw against Brazil the highlight of starting CONMEBOL qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in which they have begun the campaign with two victories and three draws in their opening six matches. They have conceded just three goals in that time and will aim to make it very difficult for a heavily rotated and potential fatigued Italian side. In fact, backing against the Italians may actually be half-decent value on Thursday evening.
TIP: DOUBLE CHANCE – VENEZUELA TO WIN OR DRAW
