Italy vs England live stream: match preview
England kick off their Euro 2022 qualifying campaign on Thursday with an away tie against holders Italy at Napoli’s Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
These two have met twice since Italy won the 2020 final at Wembley on penalties, but it’ll be England’s first outing since the World Cup back in December. Gareth Southgate’s side lost in the last eight to beaten finalists France, but they looked like a team that was capable of going further, which must’ve had some bearing on the gaffer’s decision to stay in the job. On paper this is by far England’s toughest game in Group C, and Naples is never an easy place to visit, but the Three Lions will go into it with plenty of confidence after their performance in Qatar.
Of course, England’s World Cup campaign was far more successful than that of tonight’s hosts. Italy failed to qualify for Qatar and had to watch on TV back home, but their record against England is very good. Unless you count a 2-0 defeat at Le Tournoi in 1997, which was pretty much a tournament of glorified friendlies, Italy haven’t lost to England in a game that matters since Kevin Keegan and Trevor Brooking secured victory in a qualifier for the 1978 World Cup, although it was the Three Lions who stayed at home that year. Roberto Mancini’s side have been twiddling their thumbs since losing to Austria in the Nations League last November, so you can expect to see a team that’s raring to go here on Thursday.
