Italy will head into this game with confidence as they look to begin their title defense. In their last Euro, Italy played England in the final and they settled for a draw at full time. However, a penalty win was enough to see this team win that game.

Expert Betting Tips
Italy are in a tough position, and this game is their best chance to at least make it out of the group stage. Albania entered this competition with consecutive victories, wh𝄹ich should be a confidence boost for them. However, Italy have a better squad and a better team and should win this game, even though I expect Albania to net.
