Italy U21 Team News
Italy has accumulated three points so far, winning one and losing one in the first two rounds. They suffered a 1-2 defeat against France initially, but then they emerged victorious with a 3-2 scoreline against Switzerland. The Italians displayed their best performance in the first half against Switzerland, scoring three goals. However, their game quality dropped significantly in the second half, conceding two goals, causing some nervous moments until the final whistle.
Italy will secure a spot in the quarter-finals of the tournament if they avoid defeat on Wednesday or if Switzerland fails to defeat France. Even without a victory, Italy will advance unless Switzerland beats France by a goal other than 1-0 or 2-1. They will progress even if they lose by a single goal, except for a 1-0 defeat, and Switzerland also loses. If Italy wins and Switzerland wins 1-0 or 2-1, they will finish in first place.

Norway U21 Team News
On the other hand, Norway has suffered defeats in both of their opening matches. They started the tournament with a 1-2 loss against Switzerland, followed by a 0-1 defeat against France. As a result, the Norwegian team has yet to secure a single point in this competition.
However, Leif Gunnar Smerud’s players still have a chance to qualify among the top eight teams in the tournament. They will advance if they secure a victory by at least a two-goal margin, provided that France defeats Switzerland. Overall, an intriguing battle awaits us in the final round.

Italy U21 vs Norway U21 Prediction
To secure a spot in the quarter-finals, Norway must achieve a convincing victory. Therefore, we expect them to adopt an extremely attacking approach from the first minute until the last. We believe they will create numerous scoring opportunities, but at the same time, leave ample space for the Italian attackers to get on the scoresheet. We anticipate both teams finding the back of the net at least once.
