The game between Italy and Austria promises to be one of the most interesting in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Euro, especially due to the Italian's massive form and Austria's desire to go even further in the tournament for the first time in team history.
The Italian side will make it to this game unbeaten after breezing past the group stage. Roberto Mancini's men won all their games, scoring seven times and without conceding. The team's top scorers after three games are Manuel Locatelli and Ciro Immobile, with two goals each. On top of that, Italy have gone 30 games without a loss, with their last defeat coming against Portugal(1-0) in September 2018.
On the other side of the pitch, Austria will try to continue with the form that saw them reach the KO stage of the UEFA Euro for the first time in history. Das Team ended the group stage as runners-up in Group C, with wins against North Macedonia (3-1) and Ukraine (1-0) and a loss to the Netherlands (0-2). Marko Arnautovic and Stefan Lainer are two of the team's top scorers with one goal each, but the real standout has been David Alaba, who has handed out two assists.
For this game, the Azzurri side will have to deal with up to three missing players, with Lorenzo Pellegrini being left out of all the games due to a muscular problem. Mancini's list of absences could add the names of Alessandro Florenzi and Giorgio Chiellini, who are listed as doubtful. The good news for Italy come with Marco Verratti, who handed out an assist in their last game and completed a full recovery from a muscular problem.
Meanwhile, Austria could see some of their finest players being left out due to injury. Hours before the game, the names of Martin Hinteregger, Christoph Baumgartner, Konrad Laimer, Julian Baumgartlinger, and Valentino Lazaro are listed as doubtful. Even if only two of those names were listed as regulars for Franco Foda, their absences could deter their chances of success in the competition due to the depth they add to the squad.
This will be the 37th game between these teams across all competitions. The Azzurri have claimed 16 wins out of those games, while the Austrian team has won 12. The last time these teams met in a competitive game ended in a 2-1 victory for Italy in the 1998 FIFA World Cup, and this will be their first clash in a UEFA Euro game.
