The Azzurri have been arguably the team of the tournament so far, sailing through the group stages with nine points and no goals conceded.
Austria will be hoping to pull off an upset when they take on Italy in Saturday night’s Euro 2020 last-16 clash at Wembley.
While few rated them among the pre-tournament favourites, Roberto Mancini’s side is now looking like a serious contender to lift this trophy for the first time since 1968.
Having become the first ever team to come through the group stages with three wins and three clean sheets under their belt, they will be confident of seeing off a nation celebrating its first ever appearance at this stage.
Although impressive in their 1-0 victory over Ukraine, Austria will surely struggle to find a way past an opposition defence that has now gone 11 games without conceding – letting in just seven goals in the 30 fixtures since their last defeat.

With three Euro 2020 Group D games held here, Wembley will host a total of eight matches at Euro 2020 including this fixture in the Round of 16, the semi-finals and the final.
The London venue was initially only supposed to host the semi-finals and final, but was assigned an extra four games following the exclusion of Brussels as a host city and another one when Dublin was removed as a host.
Rebuilt in 2007, it is one of the biggest football stadiums in the world and second only to Barcelona’s Camp Nou in terms of Europe’s biggest arenas.
