This game would likely be 50:50, no clear winner would be expected despite Italy has tons of Marvellous achievement, first of all Italy has a few number of old players and a lot of new faces as well. Italy’s gameplay with Austria just average on the possession, defending and attacking. Belgium has a lot of star players this time round and expected of substitution quicker for the star players. This game would be battle fighting with your lungs out. Belgium ball possession of midfielders a lot better but not on defenders.
Prediction to win: Belgium 2-1
