Italy vs Bulgaria 02.09.2021
Still basking in the euphoria of winning their second European trophy, Italy will hope to extend their unbeaten run when they face Bulgaria on Friday. Having failed to qualify for Russia 2018, the four-time world champions will be hoping to get more points as early as possible so as to earn a place at next year’s global showpiece.
After losing two of their first three qualifiers, Bulgaria will be hoping for a miracle to get past Mancini’s men in this tie.
Given Italy’s resurgence under Mancini, we are backing the Azurris to continue their unbeaten streak here. Hence, we are predicting that Italy will win this game and at least three goals will be scored.
