Coach Gennaro Gattuso dey under pressure when dem no fit beat Norway. Dem need rally strength on the pitch o, because dem fans no go gree make dem fall hand again. Di pressure don dey build, but dem boys nor go wan let dem padi fans down.
Norway’s coach Ståle Solbakken sabi wetin im dey do. If dem no score goal this time, e no go mean anything for dem. Dem don show say dem na real deal. Haaland and Sorloth dey ready to unleash wetin dem fit do to Italy’s backline.
No be only opportunity for Italy to turn things around, but dem dey fear say Norway fit capitalise if dem leave gap for back. Haaland sabi how to punish weakness; na wetin dem vex for di last match.
For di match, we fit expect goals from both ends as fireworks dey on ground. Recent matches show say both teams dey score more after di halftime. Italy dey catch dem vibes late, and e fit happen again this Sunday.
The odds show say Italy get +100 to win, Norway dey look +250, while draw na +260. Shud we now put our money on dem? Better believe say Italy go try push dem limit, but Norway dey dance for celebration already.
