Italy

Italy needs to secure at least second place. Although a priori is something that should be easy, you can not sleep. The group from Italy and Spain have 3 really weak teams (Albania, Macedonia and Liechtenstein), with Israel being the one that will fight to annoy the 2 favorites.

At home, they have only played 1 match. The one that played before Spain in the second Day, finishing 1-1 (party in which Spain was clearly superior). The other 3 parties (which are added by 3 victories) disputed them outside Italy with the following results:
Isreal 1-3 Italy
Macedonia 2-3 Italy
Liechtenstein 0-4 Italy

We had three victories, two of them would have been green (before Israel did not make a good match Italy but was able to win with a good scorer in favor). It is true that there is not much value in the 0-4 against Liechtenstein but not all the selections always meet the smaller teams in this way (Spain won 8-0 playing at home – after going 1-0 at halftime – A 0-4 in Liechtenstein is not bad).

Albania

His rival, Albania, has 6 points. These 6 points have added them with victories against Liechtenstein away from home (0-2) and home to Macedonia (2-1). However, before the 2 more complicated selections lost forcefully, losing 0-2 against Spain and 0-3 against Israel. The game against Israel does not really count for much … was marked by a first red + penalty in the min.17 and a second red + penalty in the second part sentenced the match (not on scoreboard, which continued 0-1 on failure. Penalty but if in the condition of playing 11vs9). Still, Spain dominated from start to finish and Albania did not have a single goal opportunity, firing only once (a shot that was not even between the 3 sticks).

Stake high but I think it’s worth trusting in Italy. In weak selections had no problem to make several goals and defensively is usually a set of guarantees. If it is true that I trust more that they will score even 3 goals, than in that they will not fit goal. To top this Italy has a lot of potential. To this party will arrive an Andrea Belotti in full form, which could be accompanied by Immobile in attack.
He also has other top-level players like Insigne (who is doing a good season in Naples and is a real danger for the band), De Rossi, the veteran Italian midfielder, who is doing a good season in Roma and Own Verratti.

In short, although I personally do not just fill this Italian team (for now it is far from being among the top6-7 favorite teams to win the World Cup, essentially for the players and because as a whole I see a rung behind The best current selections), do not forget that it has an individual quality of players that Albania does not have; The fact that Italy has good players to build play, such as De Rossi and Verrati; And also has a great scoring ability, with a striker center like Belotti, who is embroidering him at Torino this season. All these factors make me go looking for an Italian victory with a minimum of 2 goals difference (Handicap -1.5).
