This great match is not the first in the history of the teams between them. There are even a total of 22 opportunities on which they have met. In these 22 matches, 14 matches have been won by Italy, 4 by Belgium and only 4 draws. The scoreline is in favor of the Italians with 43 goals scored and only 24 for the Belgians.
Belgium
Belgium shockingly ended the reign of Portugal, the reigning champions. A game in which only a single goal by Thorgan Hazard in the first half on the verge of the break was enough for the Portuguese to pack their bags and the Belgians to book their place in the quarterfinals.
Italy
Italy was one of the first teams to qualify. The Blues faced Austria in the 16th round and were unable to show their superiority until extra time with a 2-1 scoreline. Mancini’s men showed their first signs of weakness in the tournament, those that were absent in the group stage. Inaccuracies in attack, a disorder in defense, and vulnerability in many moments could have cost them dearly.
Prediction
It is difficult to predict who will win here, because this is a duel of titans, two very strong teams that do not concede many goals but score a lot, so I think the perfect bet in this match would be to bet on both teams to score.
