Italy vs Wales Head-to-Head stats and numbers you need to know before Match 25 of UEFA Euro 2020
Italy are back in action with their last group match of UEFA Euro 2020 as they lock horns with Wales in an important encounter at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday. The Azzurri have been in excellent form this year and hold the upper hand going into this game.
Wales took massive strides towards qualification with an excellent 2-0 victory against Turkey earlier this week. The Welsh have impressive players in their ranks and will need to take it up a notch against a formidable Azzurri outfit.
Italy, on the other hand, have already secured their place in the knock-outs and will be intent on maintaining their perfect record at UEFA Euro 2020. Roberto Mancini's charges have exceeded expectations so far this season and could potentially produce a fairly unprecedented bid for the trophy.
