[Football- Euro 2024 Qualifications] 20.11/ 21:45 Ukraine- Italy

Ukraine did what was needed back in October, winning against North Macedonia and Malta without much problems and now awaits the deciding game against Italy.

They have shown decent capacity this autumn, also drawing against England and suffering a narrow loss in Italy 2:1, very same opponent they await now. Since that match ended as their loss, only a victory here leads them to Euro 2024 for now.

Italy, on the other side, did what was needed from their part in a 5:2 victory at home against North Macedonia last Friday night, showing great potency in the attack but also once again vulnerabilities in the defense.

They appeared strongly at the very start having a 3:0 lead thanks to goals from Darmian and two from Chiesa, but still found themselves in a bit of a trouble as the opponent managed to reduce to 3:2, but proved offensive quality with goals from Raspadori and El Shaarawy in the last ten minutes.

Ukraine will have to attack here and knowing the defensive gaps and lack of real "Italian tightness", the game should be more open than what the odds suggest.

At one point there won't be any point of having a defensive approach and both teams scoring seems like a reasonable choice between the sides that have little to gain by staying passive since the Italians show way more quality upfront recently.
