Recent Matches and How Italy Played

Italy’s last Euro qualifier ended 2-1 against Spain. The team showed solid defense but struggled to finish chances early on. A late goal by the striker turned the tide, proving the squad can stay calm under pressure. Watch the replay on your local sports channel or stream it via the official UEFA app.

In a friendly against England last month, Italy tested several youngsters. The 3-0 win highlighted depth in midfield, especially with the new playmaker delivering two assists. Those performances often shape the starting eleven for competitive games.

Squad News: Injuries, Call‑ups & Rising Stars

The biggest story this week is the knee injury to the veteran defender. He’ll miss the next two fixtures, opening a spot for a promising 21‑year‑old from Serie A. The coach confirmed the youngster’s debut in the upcoming match against Croatia.

Goalkeeper competition is heating up too. After three clean sheets last season, the starter now faces a challenger who impressed during the loan spell abroad. Expect a rotation if both keepers stay fit.

Off the pitch, the national team announced a partnership with a local charity supporting youth football in Sicily. Fans can donate through the official website, and every contribution helps nurture future Azzurri talent.

Looking ahead, Italy’s next three games include a clash with Croatia, a home fixture against Belgium, and a crucial showdown with Germany. All matches are broadcast live on major sports networks; check your local listings for exact times.

For those who like stats, Italy averages 1.8 goals per game in competitive fixtures this season and holds a 60% possession rate. Their pass accuracy sits at 86%, reflecting the technical style the coach emphasizes.

If you’re tracking player form, keep an eye on the winger’s sprint speed – he logged the highest distance covered in the last match, covering over 12 kilometers. That kind of work rate often translates into key chances.
