Northern Ireland are a very physical team and will play with a first line of 5 defenders to defend the 0-0. They are already motivated from the World Cup 2022, but they know the importance of this game to Italy and that Italy can need goals and not only winning by 1 goal. I just saw few games of them, but they showed to be very weak and with a lot of problems when they have the ball, for this game I cannot expect Northern Ireland to have more than 30% of ball possession. Their must win is very low even by playing at home as with the lost against Switzerland by 2-1 they knew that they had no more chances, and probably they can take the revenge to Switzerland and concede some goals.

Probable line-up: Peacock-Farrell; Dallas - Cathcart - Evans - McNair - Lewis; Saville - Davis - McCann; Magennis and Washington.

Italy are the European Champion in 2020. They made an amazing tournament and deserved to win it by the quality they showed. The players love to play with the coach Mancini as the winger Insigne said "I have never feel so happy playing as I am with Mancini". Italy have 2 absences, Marco Verratti and Ciro Immobile. They have some pressure now as Jorginho missed a penalty in the 90th minute against Switzerland that could gave them the qualification for the World Cup 2022 and some fans started to remember the nightmare they faced in 2018 where they failed to be in the World Cup. But the players of Italy are so experienced that can overcome easily this moment, with Bonucci, in my opinion the best centre-back in the world, Jorginho who failed the penalty but received the UEFA Player of the Year in 2021, Insigne, the beast Chiesa... and so they have everything to dominate this game. They will try to star the game very strong and if they can find an early goal, their technical and tactical supremacy should ensure a vital victory for the boys in blue and leaving them to await news of events in Switzerland before celebrating qualification. They know that Switzerland will play against Bulgaria and for sure will be an easy game for them and that Switzerland can easily win by 4 or 5 goals today and so they need to score as most goals as possible as 1-0 cannot be enough if Switzerland wins 4-0.

Probable line-up: Donnarumma; Di Lorenzo - Acerbi - Bonucci - Emerson; Barella - Jorginho - Locatelli; Chiesa - Insigne and Belotti.

北爱尔兰是一支非常强壮的球队，将会有5个后卫来防守0-0。他们已经从2022年世界杯中获得了动力，但他们知道这场比赛对意大利的重要性，意大利需要进球，而不仅仅是一球获胜。我只看过他们几场比赛，但他们表现得非常弱，控球时有很多问题，在这场比赛中，我不指望北爱尔兰有超过30%的控球率。即使是在主场，他们获胜的几率也很低，因为在2:1输给瑞士的比赛中，他们知道自己没有更多的机会了，也许他们可以报复瑞士，丢一些球。

意大利是2020年的欧洲冠军。他们进行了一场精彩的比赛，他们的表现值得赢得比赛。球员们都喜欢和曼奇尼一起踢球，边锋因西内说:“我从来没有像和曼奇尼一起踢球这么开心过。”意大利有两名球员缺席，分别是维拉蒂和西罗。在对阵瑞士队的比赛中，约基尼奥在第90分钟罚失了一个点球，而这个点球本可以让他们获得2022年世界杯的参赛资格，一些球迷开始回忆起他们在2018年世界杯上失利的噩梦。但意大利球员经验丰富，可以轻松克服这一时刻，有博努奇，在我看来是世界上最好的中后卫，约基尼奥，他没有点球，但获得了2021年的欧洲足球先生，因西涅，野兽基耶萨……所以他们完全有能力主宰这场比赛。他们将努力在比赛中发挥强大的作用，如果他们能早早进球，他们在技术和战术上的优势将确保蓝军的关键胜利，让他们在庆祝预选赛之前等待瑞士的消息。他们知道瑞士将对阵保加利亚，这对他们来说肯定是一场轻松的比赛，今天瑞士可以轻松赢得4或5个进球，所以他们需要尽可能多的进球，因为如果瑞士4-0获胜，1-0是不够的。
