Having that in mind, they are more than close of securing direct World Cup title and in case of a victory tonight, they would be even closer. They will surely want to get a victory over Czech Republic, side that will probably fight for the second position against Bulgaria and Denmark, probably Armenia too till the end of the qualifications. Atmosphere in the team is at decent level, while the team won the third place at Fifa Confederations Cup this Summer, but have also lost at home to Argentina back in August in a friendly match. Hosts will be without defenders Antonelli and Abate, while their position should be taken by Pasqual and Silvestri, while the coach shouldn’t change much as everyone wants to finish the qualifications story as soon as possible.Czech Republic, on the other hand, is coming from a shocking defeat at home against Armenia 1:2. They were more superior at the start of the match, but without creating anything concrete in front of the opponents goal, while they were down in the scoreline from 31st minute. Rosicky equalized twenty minutes before the full time, but the Armenians got the three pointer thanks to goal in 92nd minute.
It could be said that the Czech side payed the price of not having concrete strikers when needed in opponents area. Their path till now have been nothing but unsatisfying till now, as the team currently occupies third position with nine points and a 2-3-2 record, together with Armenia and Denmark. Also, one of the worries have been performances at home, as they were only able to win against Malta in front of their own crowd. Guests have no serious problems making the squad for tonight’s game.
Czech Republic failed to win in last three official matches.
Italians are really close to secure their ticket for World Cup and it’s hard to expect them making a setback now. They have proved to be much more consistent side and no doubt that everything but their victory would be a big surprise in this game.
Bet: Italy Wins
