Italy v Albania Betting Tips: A Challenging Match for Albania | Rhino Bet

The Italians were mediocre at best during qualifying and relied on goal difference to take an automatic spot at the finals and avoid the play-offs. This feels like a team in transition and, after failing to qualify for the World Cup, their form has remained patchy and with little to cheer about.

Albania know they face the stiffest of challenges to advance from Group B. They are long odds to advance to the knockout stages of the tournament and it is hard to make a case for them to pick up any points against the Italians. 

When: 16th June | 8pm. | Dortmund

Pick: Italy to hit the ground running with a comfortable win. Italy to win to nil [odds: 17/20]

Match Overview:

Italy overcame an early setback to secure a 2-1 victory over Albania in their opening match of Euro 2024. Albania took a surprising lead just 23 seconds into the game with Nedim Bajrami scoring the fastest goal in European Championship history, capitalizing on a defensive error from Italy. However, Italy quickly regained control of the match. Alessandro Bastoni equalized in the 11th minute with a powerful header following a precise cross from Lorenzo Pellegrini. Five minutes later, Nicolo Barella scored what would be the winning goal with a strong shot, putting Italy ahead 2-1.
