Lunedì evening the Leipzig challenge
In Croatia there’è great confidence among fans, as evidenced by polls in numerous online media, and it must be said that even if the Azzurri were to lose in Leipzig they could still qualify for the round of 16 as one of the top four thirds.
If the defeat against the Croatians is not too heavy (currently Italy has a goal difference of zero, which would become negative with a loss), there would still be chances for qualification.
The options in that case would be two: to face Portugal or the winner of Group E, which è is the most uncertain at the moment with Belgium, Ukraine, Slovakia and Romania all at 3 points.
In the event of defeat and simultaneous victory of Albania over Spain, forè Italy would be eliminated and forced to return home.
