This fixture carries significant weight as both sides chase a crucial victory to bolster their chances of advancing from the group stage. Italy will lean on home support and recent attacking prowess, while Norway aim to dig in defensively and spring a surprise on their hosts.
Comment les deux équipes abordent-elles ce match ?
Italie arrive in good spirits after netting seven goals in their opening group matches, though they have conceded five along the way. The Azzurre enjoyed comfortable wins over Bulgaria and Georgia, but were made to work hard against Croatia and Czechia. Their hosts’ flair and creativity in midfield have been a highlight, but defensive lapses must be addressed before facing a disciplined Norway side.
Norway have shown glimpses of solidity but lacked cutting edge in attack. A draw in their opening fixture was followed by a narrow defeat to Spain, leaving them on the back foot early in the group. The Scandinavian outfit will look to tighten up at the back and rely on set-piece opportunities to threaten Italy’s goal.
Nos prévisions
Given Italy’s home advantage and attacking momentum, they start as slight favourites. The hosts should control possession and create numerous chances, especially down the flanks and through late runs into the box. However, Norway’s organized back line means goals may not come easily.
We expect a high-intensity first half with Italy breaking the deadlock before the break. Norway will push for an equaliser after the interval, but Italy’s quality in the final third should prove decisive. Our prediction: a 2-1 victory for Italy Women U17.
