Slovakia VS Italy, who will win?

Personally predict that Italy will win.

Match information: the third round of World Cup Group F.

Both sides of the competition: Slovakia vs Italy

Competition time: 22:00 on June 24th, Beijing time.

Venue: Ellis Park Stadium

Television broadcasting: CCTV5 and local TV stations.

On the evening of June 24th, Beijing time 10, there will be a focus battle in Group 20 10 F of the World Cup in South Africa. Italy will face Slovakia at Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg. Since only two points were scored in the first two rounds, Italy can only ensure the qualification if it tries its best to win this game.

Recent situation of two teams

Italy has always had a tradition of slow heating, but the state of this World Cup is really bad. It is a bit unreasonable to say that Paraguay was still looking for its state in the first game and was tied by New Zealand in the second round. Due to Pirlo's injury and the team's lack of organizational core, there are great problems in Italy's attack village. Gilardino's state is very low and he has never found the feeling of scoring.

Slovakia was originally regarded as a dark horse, but Hamsik, the core player, was in poor condition, scoring only 1 point in the first two games, which made them have to win this game to have a chance of promotion. However, judging from Slovakia's tactics, they rely too much on the breakthrough of the wing and the height of the center, and there are not many offensive tactics except long pass.

Combat record

The two teams have no record of playing before. The situation of this group is more subtle. As long as Italy wins, it will definitely qualify. If there is a draw, it depends on the result of another game. If Paraguay beats New Zealand, Italy can advance by 3 points. If you lose, then Italy will only be eliminated.

Duty referee

The referee will be Whistler Weber of Britain, which is his second match in this tournament, after Switzerland beat Spain and 0-0 with 65438+. Weber is 38 years old. He also participated in the Champions League final between Bayern Munich and Inter Milan. He is the best international referee at present.

Appearance:

One: Italy changed its position and stormed.

Whether it is 423 1 or 442, Italy seems to have lost the inspiration to attack. Among them, striker Gilardino is in an extremely bad state. In the last round against New Zealand, he was replaced at half time. He probably went to the main position and gave way to Sampdoria striker pazzini. In addition, Iaquinta scored a penalty in the last round, but his performance in sports warfare is average, and he may also become a victim because of the change of array. On the defensive line, Lippi will also fine-tune, Criscito will return to the bench, Zambrotta will move to the left, and Malchow, who has a strong attack, will enter the main force.

Second: Gattuso's first savior

Gattuso has always been one of the most effective players in Italy. Because of his age and state, he gradually became a substitute, but if 433 is used in the last battle, Lippi will probably put the Milan veteran on the starting list. In addition, the team midfielder Pirlo is close to a comeback, but Lippi is unlikely to take risks. It is estimated that Pirlo is more likely to substitute.

Three: Slovakia looks forward to Hamsik.

Only by winning Slovakia will we have a chance to advance, but we still have to expect Paraguay not to lose to New Zealand. However, in the first two games of the team, there were problems in the midfield organization. Although Weiss performed well, the state of Hamsik, the core player, was really depressed. However, he plays in Italy, and his opponents are familiar with him in this game, so there may be an outbreak.

Expected starting lineup

Slovakia (423 1): 1- Muha /2 1- Salata, 3- Skrtel, 16- Durica, 2- Petras /6- Stelba, 17- Hamsik/7.

Italy (433): 12- marchetti /2- Malchow, 5- Cannavaro, 4- chiellini, 19- Zambrotta /8- Gattuso, 6- Derossi, 2 1- montolivo /7- Pepe, 20.
