The Italian football team has impressed everyone with their performance in Euro 2020. The side managed by Roberto Mancini has played with attacking vigour while keeping their traditional defensive solidity intact. They have recorded victories and clean sheet over Turkey, Switzerland and Wales in the group stage as they scored 7 goals in those matches. Striker Ciro Immobile has scored two goals in the tournament and is an attacking threat Austria will be wary of.
