Prediction
The is Azzuri’s 10th final while the Three Lions are appearing in the title clash of a major tournament for the first time since 1966 FIFA World Cup. Italy are unbeaten in their last 33 matches across all competitions, while England have not lost in their last 12 outings.
It is Mancini’s team who have a better best chance of lifting the trophy — currently rated at 60.1 per cent. Only three teams have ever won the EUROs on home soil — Spain (1964), Italy (1968) and France (1984). England, who have won 15 of their last 17 matches at Wembley Stadium in all competitions, will be hoping to join that list. But their task is easier said than done against an Italian side, who are eyeing their first EURO since 1968.
