The England U20 national team will face the Italy U20 national team in Round of 16 of the 2023 FIFA U20 World Cup on Wednesday, May 31, 2023. Live streaming of England U20 vs Italy U20, preview, lineup predictions, and how to watch the match live broadcast, can be watched in this article.
The meeting of the two European giants is predicted to be very interesting, where the England U20s have a good record against the Italian U20s at this level. England have never lost to Italy in this category with three wins and two draws in the last five meetings. England has also won the U20 World Cup in 2017, while Italy has never tasted that title.
England won Group E with seven points to come to the last 16 of the 2023 U20 World Cup which is being held in Argentina, with an important victory over the other strongest team in the group, Uruguay 3-2.
However, Italy should not be underestimated, because they have a solid, balanced and disciplined team. They managed to beat the strong U20 France in the group stage, and managed to finish second with six points in Group D behind Brazil, whom they beat 3-2. England must be prepared to face a formidable and provocative Italian defense to qualify.
Gli Azzurrini’s mainstay player in tonight’s match is Cesare Casadei. The Italian is the tournament’s top scorer with four goals, and will be a major threat to England’s defence.
The England U20s can also count on a few players to make a difference, with Dane Scarlett, Bashir Humphreys, Alfie Devine and Darko Gyabi each having one goal.
Looking at the latest map of the strength of the two teams, this is not an easy match for The Three Lions, even though they are more favored. It is predicted that England will win a narrow victory over Italy because of their brilliant discipline and midfield.
