Italy Women
Italy are aiming to build on their win in the opening fixture as they battle Portugal in their second Group B clash at the UEFA European Women's Championship.
The Portuguese are coming off a disappointing defeat, a holdover from their overall recent poor form. They should be no match for the Italians, who are expected to claim the win in this one.
Portugal Women News
Portugal were thrashed in their opening Group B fixture as they fell 5-0 to world champions Spain. They put up very little resistance and were already four goals down at the break before finishing with a single attempt on target throughout the encounter.
The performance and result maintains a recent trend for Portugal, who have lost five of their last six matches across all competitions. One of the issues for Francisco Neto's team is a lack of cutting edge in attack having failed to score in the last four fixtures in that run.
Another problem for Portugal is a lack of discipline at the back, with a string of heavy defeats among their recent results like the one against Spain and a 6-0 thrashing against England. They often allow their opponents fast starts and have been behind at the break in five of their last six matches.
Italy Women News
Italy made a winning start to their Women's Euros campaign, claiming a 1-0 victory over Belgium. They had several chances and could have won by more but in the end, Arianna Caruso’s first half effort proved to be the difference.
The Italians are now one win away from earning a place in the quarter-finals while that result also maintains their solid overall form in recent weeks. They are unbeaten in eight of their last 10 matches across all competitions, winning three of the last four in that run.
Italy often make fast starts and have scored the first goals in four of their last five matches across all competitions. Andrea Soncin's team have also led at the break in three of the fixtures in that run.
Head to Head
Italy are often superior in this fixture and have won all six previous matches against Portugal. The Italians picked up a 2-1 victory in the last meeting back in 2020.
Verdict
Italy have never lost in this fixture and will be keen to maintain that form. They have won three of their last four matches across all competitions and should have the upper hand over Belgium, who have lost five of their last six matches.
The Italians have a knack for fast starts, scoring first in four of their last five matches and leading at the break in three of those fixtures. Monday's clash is expected to follow a similar pattern.
