Italy vs Albania on Saturday, June 15 will be the second game in Group B at Euro 2024 and it promises to be a cracker. The defending champions haven't always convinced since winning their second European crown three years ago, so the Red and Blacks – who topped their qualifying group – will fancy an upset.
Italy may be defending European champions but it's been an inconsistent three years for the Azzurri. Having failed to qualify for a second successive World Cup in 2022, Italy replaced boss Roberto Mancini with Luciano Spalletti, and there's been some improvement. Group runners-up to England, they qualified comfortably and are defensively excellent, having conceded once in their last five internationals.
