Italy vs Australia prediction

Big things will be expected again of Italy in this competition, especially after finishing runners-up in 2023, losing the final against Uruguay by a goal to nil. With another exciting crop of players on this occasion and a backline that looks extremely solid on paper, it would be no surprise if the Azzurri are in contention to lift the trophy again in 2025.

Australia are a growing nation when it comes to football but did not qualify for this competition last time out and could find themselves on the backfoot through the majority of this fixture. The sensible move would be backing Italy and their exciting plethora of young players to win out.
