Scotland U19 vs Italy U19 prediction 20.03.2024

• Competition: Euro U19 Championship Qualifiers
• Date: 20th March 2024
• Kickoff: 14:00 UTC / 15:00 CET
• Venue: Stadio G. Teghil

The Under-19 teams of Scotland and Italy are set to clash in Lignano Sabbiadoro on Wednesday afternoon. Both countries aim to begin their European Under-19 Championship qualifying journey on a positive note.

The Tartan Army juniors are heading into Wednesday’s game following a morale-boosting 4-0 victory over Latvia U19s in a friendly match last weekend. Billy Stark’s team has managed to score a minimum of two goals in three of their last four matches, and a similar outcome on Wednesday could kickstart their Euro U19 qualifying campaign on a high note.

The Italian U19s also emerged victorious in their recent game, trouncing Austria U19s 3-0. This victory halted their streak of three successive games without a win or a clean sheet across all competitions. However, it remains uncertain whether they can reproduce this performance on Wednesday.

Scotland U19 vs Italy U19 Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals

These two teams had a goalless draw in their only meeting seven years ago, but I anticipate a different outcome this time.

In their recent matches, Scotland U19s have shown considerable defensive instability, managing to keep a clean sheet only once in their last four games. Moreover, three of those games concluded with more than 2.5 goals.

The recent games of the Italian U19s have been quite engaging as well. A minimum of three goals were recorded in each of their previous three games, and I anticipate a comparable outcome on Wednesday.

• Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
