Unsere Prognose
Given Italy’s potent attack and home advantage, we predict the hosts to edge this contest. A 2-1 victory for Italy U21 looks likely, with both sides expected to find the net. Romania’s defensive solidity suggests they’ll be tough to break down early on, but Italy’s attacking pressure should tell in the second half.
We also favour the match to produce over 2.5 goals, as both teams have shown willingness to commit numbers forward. Expect key tactical shifts at half-time, with Italy U21 pushing higher up the pitch and Romania U21 looking to exploit spaces on the break.
