Italy vs Ukraine prediction
Ukraine’s warm-up fixture ahead of this Italy fixture saw them demolish Netherlands by a score of 56 points to 12, proving that they are very much ready for this main event. They were so sharp from an attacking perspective and are only likely to get better the more they play this year. Italy were also victorious in their warm-up match against Lebanon, but Ukraine represent far stronger opposition.
Expect Ukraine to come out of the blocks very quickly and really impose themselves Italy. The offensive line should put the Italians under huge pressure early and it would be no surprise to see them wilt amid that pressure. Therefore, back Ukraine to come out on top.
