Turkey vs Italy predictions
The Italian side will go into the EURO 2020 with one of the strongest squads in the competition. Under Roberto Mancini, the Azurris have earned some exceptional results in the past few years and would look to better themselves by winning this tournament. After the 2018 World Cup fiasco, where they failed to qualify for the main event this tournament serves as the perfect chance for them to prove their doubters wrong.
Turkey is one of the underdogs going into the EURO 2020, and many pundits have named them as a team who would spring a surprise or two during the course of the tournament. With players like Soyuncu, Demiral, Ozan Kabak in defense, and the likes of Calhanoglu, Cengiz Under to man the midfield they have a good mixture of experience and youth in them. A rejuvenated striker in Burak Yilmaz, who recently lifted the Ligue 1 trophy with Lille will also have a huge part to play for the Turks this summer.
Who will win Turkey vs Italy match
Italy would be very keen to start the first match of the tournament with a win and would be also lifted by the 17,000 strong home support they would enjoy, playing in Rome. We are predicting a 2-0 Italy win and believe that their experience of playing at the higher stages would hold them in good stead going into the tournament opener.
