Ireland may surprise Italy
Ireland may surprise Italy
Italy and the Republic of Ireland will meet in a match of Group E of Euro 2016. This is the last match for both teams in the group, such as Italy surely finishes first in the group, there are 6 points so far and Ireland have only 1 and will fight at least third place if they win against the "Azzurri". The other two teams are Belgium and Sweden, which will play at the same time. The match starts on 22:00 today and will be played in Lille at the stadium "Pierre Mauroy."
Italy is the undisputed favorite in this match, but there are many question marks over coach Antonio Conte. Italy started strongly with a win over the Belgians, then the game very correct tactical and earned minimum goal at the end against Sweden. With these two victories earned 6 points and now Italy is secure first position in group E. Gianluigi Buffon and Antonio Candreva have questioned whether the game will start, because not trained with the team the last two days. This might make Conte put the door Salvatore Sirigu. The other interesting information about the composition of Italy is that if Bonucci, Chiellini, De Rossi or ask for your Eder yellow card in this match will miss the second round. The same goes for Buffon and Thiago Motta. Conte hardly afford to be out of action and Bonucci and Chiellini, but if Buffon is out and one of those two starts, iron Defence of Italy made up of players of Juventus will be patchy and this can lead to many problems facing Italy . And accept the fact that Italy will play with the second team from Group D of the second round, which will probably be Croatia, Conte unlikely to risk its main players do not take part in the fight.
Republic of Ireland regrets that failed to beat Sweden in the first game. Own them want to take so important 3 points, and in the last meeting with Belgium in the second half Ireland received goals 3 goals. Now coach Martin O'Neill will have to look to attack. Italy will probably defend and Ireland will seek victory. Only Jonathan Walters is out of the composition, all others are ready for battle. Ireland should play very hard to win this game. The changes expected under the "Azzurri" chance of Eire increases, and a possible 4 points they can hope to be among the best teams finished third. Shane Long is likely still to stand up front for the Irish, but wonder and Robbie Keane to keep him company. Brady, Hendrik and Hulahan must be iron in the middle of the pitch and show your best game and the defense and goalkeeper must not leave empty spaces in the match against the Belgians. Martin O'Neill is aware that this one item can not be ranked first and second points also will not do. The only way out for Ireland's victory in this encounter with Italy.
In 13 previous matches Italy has 8 wins against 2 for Ireland and 3 matches ended in a draw outcome. Italy win against Ireland last European Championships, when he was in a group, and Ireland defeated his opponent in 1994 during the World Cup finals. Italy to ensure their place in the second round after the second match in the group. Ireland has a chance to continue, but this chance passes only through victory in this meeting. In view of the problems faced by Conte, Ireland is able to surprise his rival and therefore our team will engage with quite bold, but completely realistic forecast victory for Ireland.
