USA vs Italy Match Prediction

Italy’s last lost against China shows that they have take it a bit easy after confirming their place in the last-eight stage. USA too looked toothless in their last game against ROC. Still the Americans’ loss against ROC will hurt them less than Italy going down to China. The Italians can be low on confidence, which means USA can cash on this opportunity. The prediction for the match is USA winning this nail-biting encounter by 3-2.
