Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
------------------------------
Norway Women and Italy Women are set to meet in the Women's European Championship quarter-finals in Geneva. Norway enters the match after dominating Group A, while Italy secured a spot by finishing second in Group B.
Team Analysis:
Norway and Italy have both reached the Women's Euros knockout stage for the first time since 2013. Norway topped their group with two narrow wins over Switzerland and Finland, followed by a 4-3 victory against Iceland. Despite a strong attack, they share the weakest defensive record among the quarter-finalists. Historically, Norway has been successful in past quarter-finals.
Italy secured second place in their group after beating Belgium and drawing with Portugal, despite losing to Spain in their final group match. Although they’ve previously lost in the 2009 and 2019 quarter-finals, Italy remains unbeaten in their last three encounters with Norway. The winner of this clash will face either Sweden or England in the semi-finals.
Player Situation:
Norway will be without defender Marit Lund due to suspension, but key players including Thea Bjelde, Ingrid Engen, Guro Reiten, Ada Hegerberg, and Caroline Graham Hansen are expected to return after being rested. Italy may bring back Emma Severini, Lucia Di Guglielmo, and forward Cristiana Girelli, which could lead to Barbara Bonansea, Martina Piemonte, and Oliviero being dropped from the starting lineup.
Result Prediction:
Norway and Italy previously drew twice in qualifying, suggesting a close contest. However, Norway’s ability to edge out results could give them the advantage to reach the semi-finals after extra time.
Predicted Result: Norway Women 2-1 Italy Women.
