Italy vs Ecuador Prediction 24 March 2024

After a sensational miss of the 2022 World Cup, Italy pulled themselves together and qualified for Euro 2024, even if their football was far from ideal. In the recent past, Squadra Azzurra dealt with Malta (4:0), North Macedonia (5:2) and Venezuela (2:1), drew 0:0 with Ukraine and lost 1:3 to England.

Prior to the match, Ecuador beat Guatemala 2:0 purely on class, and before that there were a number of successful games with Bolivia (2:1), Colombia (0:0), Venezuela (0:0) and Chile (1:0) as part of the South American qualification at the 2026 World Cup. There, The Tricolors hold fifth position with eight points and a goal difference of 5:3, which completely suits them.

Since the match will take place on neutral territory, Italy will lose an important trump card in the form of the support of their home crowd. But even in such situations, we believe more in the minimal success of the European team, or there will be a draw.
