Czech Republic
Italy
For three years, the Italian national team has remained undefeated, but will the Czech Republic manage to break this amazing streak on June 4? Find the answer in our prediction below.
Italy
The Italian national team gives superb performance under the management of Roberto Mancini - the Italians suffered their last defeat almost 3 years ago in the League of Nations from Portugal (0:1). After successfully qualifying for the Euro, Squadra Azzurra also strongly played in the League of Nations, winning the group with the Netherlands, Poland, and Bosnia and Herzegovina with a total of 12 points.
After three rounds of qualifications for the World Cup, Italy have nine points and are on the first line in the group.

Czech Republic
The Czech national team got to Euro 2020 - the team of Jaroslav Šilhavý was in the group with England, Kosovo, Bulgaria, and Montenegro. Having predictably yielded the leading position to the British, the Czechs confidently took the second ticket to the European Championship, with a margin of four points over Kosovo.
In qualifications for the World Cup, the situation is almost identical. There is an indisputable favorite in the face of Belgium in the group, and the other teams, with which the Czechs can compete on more or less equal terms: Wales, Belarus, and Estonia. So far, the Czech Republic are second in the group with four points.
Statistics
This was the exact score in two of the last six head-to-head games.
Italy have scored in each half in three of their last four home games.
In the last two away games, the Czech Republic scored against Italy in the first half.
Tip
Italy head to the upcoming Euro 2020 as one of the main favorites, with an unbeaten streak of 26 games and an excellent lineup. Mancini will certainly experiment, just like in the previous game against San Marino, so it is unlikely that Squadra Azzurra will be able to give their best performance, and we wouldn't expect outstanding football from the favourites in a friendly game just before the start of the Euro.
However, in our opinion, it is still worth betting on the victory of the favourite. The players of the reserve will try to impress the manager. Besides, Italy can win on class alone.
We believe that guests have no chance. Our prediction - victory for Italy
The Italian national team does not play open attacking football, preferring to focus on ball control and reliable play in defense. This approach is justified: in the previous seven games, Squadra Azzurra scored seven victories, without conceding a single goal.
However, in a friendly game, they might face problems with concentration and teamwork, especially in defense, so an exchange of goals looks very likely.
Our second bet will be on both to score.
