Looking ahead to Euro 2024, Italy and England have been drawn together in Group C during the qualification stage. The two teams are expected to finish in the top two spots, but Italy holds a psychological advantage with a six-game unbeaten run against England, including three wins and three draws. Italy's last victory was secured by Giacomo Raspadori, who scored the winning goal in their Nations League encounter

Despite the concerns about the depth of his squad, England coach Gareth Southgate has selected a strong team for the upcoming fixtures. However, after a disappointing Nations League campaign and a World Cup quarter-final exit, some England fans have questioned whether Southgate is the right man for the job. The pressure is on to win a major European trophy for the first time since 1966, and Southgate needs to prove that he can deliver. He is just one win away from becoming the third manager to win 50 games in charge of England, but he faces a tough challenge as England's last away win against Italy was back in 1961, a 3-2 friendly victory decided by a late Jimmy Greaves goal.

The match features two prolific goal-scorers, with Italy's Vincenzo Grifo involved in all three of Italy's goals during the November 2022 international break, averaging a goal involvement every 61 minutes for Italy. Meanwhile, Harry Kane needs one more goal to overtake Wayne Rooney (53 goals) as England's all-time leading scorer.

Finally, it's worth noting that Italy has scored exactly once in four of the last five head-to-head matches against England, which could be an important factor in determining the outcome of their upcoming fixture. With Napoli making a miracle in Serie A, I believe the whole football public in Italy is ecstatic. Furthermore, they missed out on World Cup and are eager to prove more than ever. This is the opponent to beat to get back on the track for Azzuri.

2024 年欧洲杯，意大利和英格兰在资格赛阶段被分在 C 组。两队有望进入前两名，但意大利对英格兰保持六场不败，其中三胜三平，占据心理优势。意大利的最后一场胜利由贾科莫·拉斯帕多里 (Giacomo Raspadori) 确保，他在国联遭遇战中攻入制胜一球

尽管担心球队的阵容深度，英格兰主帅加雷斯·索斯盖特还是为即将到来的比赛选择了一支强队。然而，在经历了令人失望的国家联赛和世界杯四分之一决赛出局之后，一些英格兰球迷质疑索斯盖特是否是这份工作的合适人选。自 1966 年以来首次赢得欧洲重要奖杯的压力越来越大，而索斯盖特需要证明自己能够做到。他距离成为第三位带领英格兰赢得 50 场比赛的主帅只差一场胜利，但作为英格兰最后一位主帅，他面临着严峻的挑战客场战胜意大利要追溯到 1961 年，当时吉米·格里夫斯 (Jimmy Greaves) 的进球决定了友谊赛 3-2 的胜利。

这场比赛有两名高产射手，意大利的文森佐·格里福在 2022 年 11 月的国际比赛日期间参与了意大利的所有三个进球，意大利平均每 61 分钟参与一次进球。与此同时，哈里·凯恩还需要再进一球，才能超越韦恩·鲁尼（53 球）成为英格兰队史最佳射手。

最后，值得注意的是，意大利在过去五场对阵英格兰的比赛中有四场只进了一次球，这可能是决定他们即将到来的比赛结果的一个重要因素。那不勒斯在意甲创造奇迹，相信整个意大利足坛都为之欣喜若狂。此外，他们错过了世界杯，并且比以往任何时候都更渴望证明自己。这是意大利重回正轨所要击败的对手。
