Italy U21 and Ireland U21 will meet in the European Championship qualifying tournament. The Italian youth team is dominating, having won 6 out of 9 matches with a goal difference of 26:3. Players like Tommaso Baldanzi and Francesco Pio Esposito are in good form. Ireland has accumulated 18 points, currently in 2nd place in the group. Their last encounter ended in a 2-2 draw. Italy is heavily favored to win at home, considering their consistent play and the potential of their key players. I predict a victory for Italy and their direct qualification to the European Championship.
