Italy won their UEFA Qualifying group to reach this World Cup, winning seven of their eight qualification matches and losing only to Belgium in their last game having already secured qualification. They are unbeaten in 2019, winning seven of their nine games in all competitions and drawing the other two.
Australia have made the quarter-finals of the World Cup at their last three tournaments, but hopes will be high that they can go further this year. However, they haven’t won a game outside of Australia in the last 10 months and have conceded eight goals in their past two games.
