This is a large handicap but should be easy for Italy.

Italy is full of confidence and motivation as they are the actual European winners. Players know each other very well and what the coach wants for them, after making an amazing tournament in the EURO 2020.

No missings for this match, so they will use the best lineup available.

They are a really solid team at the back, I see no chances for Bulgaria to score goals here. The question is if Italy will be able to score 3, but I think yes. Already played three games (World Cup qualifiers), winning all of them 2-0 but totally outplayed their rivals and deserved to score more goals. Against Lithuania made 29 shots, Bulgara 22 shots and North Ireland 12.

They are with the aim of continuing a 34-game unbeaten streak - during which they boast a remarkable goal difference of +76. If there’s one team able to make 3 goals difference easily in Europe now, it’s Italy.

On the other hand, Bulgaria is a disaster. Most of their players are from the local bulgarian championship and they are not ready physically and tactically to face a strong side like Italy. They are just too weak.

In this tournament they weren't able to win against North Ireland (0-0), and were totally outplayed by Switzerland (3-1), where the Swiss team scored 3 goals in the first 12 minutes and then played relaxed.

In fact, they have only won 2 of the last 28 matches, one of them against Gibraltar. In the last friendly game they played against France and were destroyed. Only lost 3-0 conceding goals at 83’ and 90’ but had 0 shots in the whole match and only 37% possession, while conceded 26 shots by France.

This should be easy for Italy. When they played some months ago and won 2-0, Italy was at an even worse level and with less confidence than now.

这是一个很大的障碍，但对意大利来说应该很容易。

意大利充满信心和动力，因为他们是真正的欧洲赢家。在 2020 年欧洲杯举办了一场精彩的比赛后，球员们彼此非常了解，也非常了解教练对他们的要求。

这场比赛没有遗漏，因此他们将使用可用的最佳阵容。

他们在后场是一支非常稳固的球队，我认为保加利亚在这里没有进球的机会。问题是意大利能否打进 3 分，但我认为是的。已经打了三场比赛（世界杯预选赛），以 2-0 赢得了所有比赛，但完全击败了对手，理应进更多球。对阵立陶宛29次，布尔加拉22次，北爱尔兰12次。

他们的目标是继续保持 34 场不败——在此期间，他们拥有惊人的 +76 净胜球。如果说现在在欧洲有一支球队能够轻松打入 3 球，那就是意大利。

另一方面，保加利亚是一场灾难。他们的大部分球员来自当地的保加利亚锦标赛，他们在身体和战术上都没有准备好面对像意大利这样的强队。他们只是太弱了。 本次比赛他们未能以0-0战胜北爱尔兰，完全被瑞士队（3-1）击败，瑞士队在前12分钟打进3球，随后打得轻松。

事实上，他们在过去的 28 场比赛中只赢了 2 场，其中一场是对直布罗陀。在上一场友谊赛中，他们与法国队交手并被摧毁。仅在83'和90'丢球3-0，但全场射门0次，控球率仅为37%，而法国26次失球。

这对意大利来说应该很容易。当他们几个月前比赛并以 2-0 获胜时，意大利的水平甚至比现在更差，信心也比现在更差。
