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]
