The Wembley Stadium is the stage for the 2020 European Championship final as England and Italy clash on Sunday. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

The Italians head into this game with an impeccable record against England in international tournaments. The Azzurri have won all of the last four major tournament clashes against the Three Lions. How would the English respond to this?

Home or Rome ?

England finds itself in a major tournament final for the first time since 1966 when they won the World Cup. They did exactly what Croatia did to them in the 2018 World Cup semifinals as they got the better of Denmark in the semifinals via a 2-1 victory after extra time. Given the added advantage the crowd is expected to give them, it is not going to be an easy game for the Italians.

Italy, on the other hand, is still unbeaten in their last 33 matches. Such is the work Mancini has done and the former Man City manager will be looking to crown his efforts this Sunday. In their semifinal game, they played out a 1-1 stalemate against Spain in regular time- Two Juventus forwards Chiesa and Morata on the scoresheet for their team. They couldn’t be separated from then on as the game went on to a penalty shootout. Morata went from hero to villain as the Juventus forward missed his spot-kick which allowed Jorginho to calmly slot in the deciding penalty.

It is no news that the English are slight favourites for this one simply because this highly-enthralling matchup will be played in London. However, we don’t expect Italy to be an easy game for England. As such, we will be banking on a goal-scoring stalemate at the end of the 90 minutes.
