The UEFA Euro 2020 is back in action after a brief hiatus this weekend as Italy take on Austria at Wembley Stadium on Saturday. Italy have been exceptional under Roberto Mancini and hold the upper hand going into this game.
Austria have flattered to deceive at Euro 2020 but managed to defeat Ukraine in their last group game. The Austrians have impressive players in their ranks and will need to play out of their skins to pull off one of the upsets of the tournament this weekend.
Italy, on the other hand, are one of the favourites at Euro 2020 and have exceeded expectations in their group games. The Azzurri have a balanced squad and their incredible bench strength gives them a distinct upper hand in this fixture.
