Betting Predictions
Italy will play Bosnia and Herzegovina in their final EURO preparation match at Stadio Carlo Castellani in Empoli.
The Dragons are trying to snap a five-game losing record that dates back to October of last year, while the Azzurri hope to extend their unbeaten streak to six games. The defending EURO Champions, Italy, suffered a severe setback as North Macedonia ousted them in the playoffs and could not attend the World Cup in Qatar.
Head-to-Head
Italy hasn’t lost since October of the previous year. Bosnia has suffered five straight losses. With three losses and one tie, Bosnia and Herzegovina has never triumphed over the Italian national team. Six of Bosnia & Herzegovina’s previous seven games across all competitions have lost. Italy has played five home games, winning four and drawing one.
In three of Bosnia & Herzegovina’s last four games, goals have been scored on both sides. Italy has scored exactly twice in the last two of their three games.
Team News
Ivan Provedel, Samuele Ricci, and Riccardo Orsolini are the three players who did not make the cut and will not participate on Sunday after Spalletti formally announced his final 26-man squad for Euro 2024 on Thursday.
Both midfielder Nicolo Barella and goalkeeper Alex Meret have surfaced as injury worries and are not expected to be risked against Bosnia. Due to Meret’s muscular injury sustained during the warm-up, both players could not participate in the tie with Turkey. Gianluigi Donnarumma, the captain of Italy, might take over in goal from Guglielmo Vicario, who was only given his second cap this past week. In addition, Raspadori, El Shaarawy, and Mattia Zaccagni will probably compete for a spot in the attack due to Orsolini’s absence.
Regarding Bosnia, injuries have sidelined Edin Dzeko, Stjepan Radeljic, and Nikola Vasilj, the country’s all-time best scorer (65 goals) and top appearance maker (134 caps).
Vasilj, who made his debut against England, sustained an injury during training; as a result, Kenan Piric or the uncapped Osman Hadzikic will start in goal.
Probable Line-Up
Italy XI:
Donnarumma; Di Lorenzo, Mancini, Bastoni, Dimarco; Cristante, Jorginho; Raspadori, Pellegrini, Chiesa; Scamacca
Bosnia-Herzegovina XI:
Piric; Radeljic, Katic, Ahmedhodzic, Hadzikadunic, Gazibegovic; Gigovoc, Krunic, Tahirovic, Hajradinovic; Demirovic
Verdict
Tip: Italy to Winâś…
Reason
Italy has defeated far stronger teams than Bosnia and Herzegovina three times in the last six home games, with three of those victories coming by a margin of two goals or more. Bosnia and Herzegovina are in awful form, having let up an astounding 16 goals—3.2 goals per game—while suffering five straight losses. Bosnia and Herzegovina, like most Balkan sides, are performing significantly better at home. They had only triumphed over hapless Liechtenstein in the previous 11 away games. Italy defeated the other team 2 to 0. Three of the four head-to-head matches between these sides were won by Italy.

Tip: Over 2.5 Goals❌
Reason
Italy takes against a Bosnian team that has just suffered five straight losses. Their goalless stalemate against Empoli earlier this week was concerning, but this weekend might be a turning point for Italy. In each of those contests, the visitors have let up more than 2.5 goals and given up 16 times. They conceded 20 goals in their ten qualifying matches from the previous year, and they were defeated 3-0 by a depleted England team earlier this week.

Football Lover. All-round junkie of the beautiful game. Could be found watching football most of the time. If not he’s writing about them or making some punditry you don’t agree with. A certain bias for Arsenal and Santos FC.
